American Rivers Applauds Sally Jewell's Nomination to Interior Department

Wed, 06 Feb 2013 10:14:51 CST

Bob Irvin, president of American Rivers, welcomed President Obama's choice of REI chief executive Sally Jewell to head the Department of the Interior.


Irvin released the following statement:


"We applaud President Obama's choice of Sally Jewell for Secretary of the Interior. As the head of REI, the outdoor gear and clothing company, she understands firsthand the connections among healthy rivers, healthy communities, and a strong economy.


"Sally Jewell knows that clean, healthy rivers and protected public lands are the infrastructure of the $289 billion outdoor recreation industry that supports 6.5 million jobs. She knows how important fishing, boating, and hiking and the great outdoors are to our families, to our future, and to our heritage as Americans.


"We hope she will be speedily confirmed by the Senate and look forward to working with her as she carries out the President's vision for conservation through initiatives like America's Great Outdoors, and continues the impressive legacy of her predecessor, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar."


American Rivers is an organization working to protect and restore the nation's rivers and streams.
