116TH CONGRESS REPORT
2d Session HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 116-503
B-47 RIDGE DESIGNATION ACT
SEPTEMBER 14, 2020.-Committed to the Committee of the Whole House on the
State of the Union and ordered to be printed
Mr. GRIJALVA, from the Committee on Natural Resources,
submitted the following
REPORT
[To accompany H.R. 1267]
[Including cost estimate of the Congressional Budget Office]
The Committee on Natural Resources, to whom was referred the
bill (H.R. 1267) to designate a mountain ridge in the State of Mon-
tana as B-47 Ridge, having considered the same, reports favor-
ably thereon without amendment and recommends that the bill do
pass.
PURPOSE OF THE BILL
The purpose of H.R. 1267 is to designate a mountain ridge in the
State of Montana as B-47 Ridge.
BACKGROUND AND NEED FOR LEGISLATION
On July 23, 1962, a B-47 Bomber left Dyess Air Force Base in
Texas for a routine training mission over Montana but crashed into
the southwestern slope of Emigrant Peak in the Gallatin National
Forest, killing all four Air Force officers on board.1
In honor of the Air Force crew that lost their lives in the crash,
H.R. 1267 designates a currently unnamed mountain ridge off the
southwest side of Emigrant Peak as B-47 Ridge and authorizes
the instillation of a plaque on the ridge. The legislation stipulates
that no federal funds may be expended for the design, procure-
ment, installation, or maintenance of the plaque.
