PURPOSE OF THE BILL

BACKGROUND AND NEED FOR LEGISLATION
Alex Diekmann was a conservationist who lived in Bozeman,
Montana. Mr. Diekmann dedicated his professional life to pro-
tecting the natural and scenic resources of the Northern Rockies.
Over the course of his career, Mr. Diekmann was engaged in efforts
that led to the conservation of more than 100,000 acres of moun-
tains, valleys, rivers, creeks, agricultural lands, historic sites and
open spaces in the States of Montana, Wyoming, and Idaho.
Mr. Diekmann played a central role in conservation, recreational
and other land-use endeavors for an array of landscapes, including
several sites across the Crown of the Continent in Montana, the
Greater Yellowstone ecosystem, Glacier National Park, and the
Cabinet-Yaak ecosystem. He played a particularly significant role
in the preservation of the natural landscapes in and near the Madi-
son Valley and the Madison Range in Montana, including more
than 12 miles of the Madison River, resulting in the conservation
of that world-class fishery for future generations.
