Dear Patrick:
Thank you for contacting me to express your support for H.R. 5151, the Wild Monongahela Act. I appreciate you taking the time to express your views on this important issue.
As you may know, my colleague, Representative Nick Rahall (D-WV), introduced the Wild Monongahela Act. This legislation seeks to expand three existing federal wilderness areas within the Monongahela National Forest and establish four new ones. All of the new areas are currently managed by the Forest Service as wilderness, emphasizing non-motorized settings and a natural environment. The legislation would make this type of management permanent.
Presently, the Wild Monongahela Act is awaiting action in the House Committee on Natural Resources, of which I am not a member. Please know that I will be sure to keep your views in mind when this legislation is addressed by the full House of Representatives.
Again, thank you for writing me. If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me in the future.
Sincerely,
Jon C. Porter
Member of Congress
