Crapo Statement on the Death of Former Montana Senator Conrad Burns

WASHINGTON -  Idaho Senator Mike Crapo issued this statement following news that former Montana Senator Conrad Burns died Thursday:

"As a tireless advocate for the people of Montana, Conrad brought to Washington a commonsense approach to solving problems.  Our states' shared border provided the opportunity for us to collaborate on issues important to both our states.  Together, we held a field hearing in Havre, where I witnessed Conrad's unquestionable dedication to the people he served.  I send my condolences to his wife Phyllis, his children, and to those across Montana and throughout our nation who knew him and mourn his death."
