Background
According to House Report 111-595, Andrea Mead Lawrence was born in Rutland County, Vermont, in 1932. She competed in alpine skiing events in two World Championships and three Olympics, including the 1952 Olympics in Oslo, Norway, where she won two Gold Medals in the slalom and giant slalom. Lawrence lit the torch at the 1960 Winter Olympics in Squaw Valley, California. In 1968, she moved to Mammoth Lakes, California, in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. She eventually founded a number of environmental organizations, including the Andrea Lawrence Institute for Mountains and Rivers. According to the House Report, “She also served as a member of the Great Basin Air Pollution Control District, which sought to reduce pollution caused by the draining of Owens Lake by the Metropolitan Water District in Southern California.” She also testified in favor of the Eastern Sierra and Northern San Gabriel Wild Heritage Act, which became law in 2009 and created four new wilderness areas, addling 503,000 acres of new federally-protect wilderness at a cost of $6 million over five years.
Summary
H.R. 5194 would designate a currently unnamed peak located 0.6 miles northeast of Donahue Peak on the northern border of the Ansel Adams Wilderness and Yosemite National Park as “Mt. Andrea Lawrence.” The peak would be referred to as such on new maps or regulations created by the federal government.
Cost
According to CBO, “H.R. 5194 would have no significant effect on the federal budget.”
House Democratic Caucus Summary
The House Democratic Caucus does not provide summaries of bills.
So, yes, we display the House Republican Conference’s summaries when available even if we do not have a Democratic summary available. That’s because we feel it is better to give you as much information as possible, even if we cannot provide every viewpoint.
We’ll be looking for a source of summaries from the other side in the meanwhile.
