Rep. Young Fights For Alaskan Rights And Wins

The U.S. House voted tonight against an amendment introduced by Rep. Norman Dicks (D-WA) that would strike a provision in the Interior Appropriations bill forbidding the National Parks Service from enforcing regulations on waters in Alaska’s Yukon-Charley National Preserve.  This provision, included at the request of Alaskan Congressman Don Young, will be included in the final version of the Interior Appropriations legislation brought to the floor.
