He demands a concrete plan to favor upstream needs, pledging to lift the hold only if a fair proposal ensures water for upstream reservoirs like Fort Peck. The nomination, backed by key committees, remains delayed amid decade‑long debates on river flows, downstream interests, and endangered species court orders.
