VP Cheney and politics not to blame for 2002 Klamath salmon die off?
August 10th, 2007
Indian Country Today reports that Vice-President Dick Cheney and politics might not be at fault for the massive die off of salmon in the Klamath River in 2002.
In the hearing of the Natural Resources Committee in the House of Representatives on July 31, the paper reports that most of the press and public had left the hearing after seven hours and missed the testimony of William M. Lewis Jr., professor of biology and a researcher in environmental sciences at the University of Colorado at Boulder, former chairman of the National Academy of Sciences National Research Council Committee on Endangered and Threatened Fishes in the Klamath River Basin. His testimony ruled out any real likelihood of a direct connection between a politicized water management decision and the Klamath salmon die-off.
