nal recommendation, the U.S.
Entity Regional Recom m en
dation for the Future o f the
C olum bia River Treaty af

The Department of State will

Treaty modernisation effort with
Canada.
Paul Lumley, of the Yakama
Nation, is the executive director
o f the Columbia River Inter-
Tribal Fish Commission. He
made the following comments fol
lowing the U.S. Entity recommen
dation.)
The modernization o f the
Columbia River Treaty is in
the best interest o f our re

everyone who relies on the
Columbia River.
There appears to be broad
level support from the tribes
for the recommendation.
The tribes are committed
to working with the U.S. D e
partm ent o f State to ensure
that a modernized Columbia
River Treaty is realized.
We are pleased to see that
the ecosystem is included in
the recommendation as a new
pillar to the Columbia River
Treaty,
The tribes also look for

As written, the recommen
dation includes a public pro

This promise o f a public

cal next step for the citizens
o f the Columbia Basin.
