BRC TO TESTIFY BEFORE SENATE COMMITTEE ON ENERGY & NATURAL RESOURCES
POCATELLO, ID (June 2) -- Greg Mumm, Executive Director for the BlueRibbon Coalition, was recently invited to testify in front of the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources.
The BlueRibbon Coalition (BRC), a leading advocate for responsible management of recreation on public lands, was invited in a formal letter by Senator Jeff Bingaman--Chairman of the Senate Committee on Energy--to testify at the committee hearing. "The purpose of the hearing is to receive testimony regarding off-highway vehicle management on public lands," stated Chairman Jeff Bingaman (D-NM) in his letter.
"I am honored to have received the invitation to speak before the Senate Committee," said Mumm. "This is an important time for access interests, and this is a tremendous opportunity for the BlueRibbon Coalition to ensure that the enthusiast voice is heard in Washington, D.C."
The Committee's hearing is scheduled for Thursday, June 5, 2008, at 9:30 a.m. in room SD-366 of the Dirksen Senate Office Building.
