Heinrich Wilderness bill for northern NM passes Senate Committee

After reading about the Simpson bill below I went to the Committee website and found the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources also passed S. 1240, the Cerros del Norte Conservation Act, by voice vote.  The legislation designates the Cerro del Yuta Wilderness (comprising approximately 13,420 acres) and Rio San Antonio Wilderness (comprising approximately 8,000 acres) within the Rio Grande del Norte National Monument in New Mexico as wilderness and as components of the National Wilderness Preservation System.  The bill was part of a package of 15 bills approved by the Committee.
