"We owe much to the life work of Mardy Murie, a pioneer in the environmental movement, who, with her husband Olaus helped set the course of American conservation more than 70 years ago. Her passionate support for and compelling testimony on behalf of the Alaska Lands Act, helped ensure the legislation's passage and the protection of some of our most pristine lands. For her steadfast and inspiring efforts to safeguard America's wilderness for future generations, we honor Mardy Murie."
-President Bill Clinton
