THE PASSING OF SETH DIAMOND
Mr. KEMPTHORNE. Mr. President, today I note the loss of a talented young man who's contributions to timber, wildlife, and natural resource management will be sorely missed in may home State of Idaho.
Mr. Seth Diamond was not from Idaho, but he was a strong advocate for balanced management of our natural resources, and the people of my State benefited from his thoughtful contributions to the debate over land and wildlife resource management.
Mr. Diamond was a skilled, experienced wildlife biologist. He studied at Duke University and Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University before putting his interests in biology and wildlife management to work for the Forest Service. His later work with innovative management programs on the Lewis and Clark National Forest earned him recognition from the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
The people of Idaho were among those who were lucky that Seth chose to apply his skills help us find the solutions that will protect wildlife and ensure sustainable timber harvest into the future on Federal lands. His energy and dedication will be missed.
