Most bison were brucellosis-free

Lovell called it disappointing that the two governments have apparently reached an impasse and federal officials want to proceed on its own.

"Where so much progress has been made and a goal is almost in sight, I do not believe that the United States should take this unilateral action without the court first hearing and resolving Montana's objections and motions," Lovell said.

He ordered a Jan. 28 hearing and told the state and federal governments to have officials there with the power to make binding agreements. Most likely, that would be Gov. Marc Racicot and Yellowstone Superintendent Michael Finley, he said.

In addition to considering the state's request to block federal withdrawal from the planning process, Lovell said he will supervise a closed-door meeting for both sides "to make one final effort to resolve these differences."

Both governments must submit to him by Jan. 21 confidential letters describing the issues over which they disagree and suggestions for reaching a settlement, he said.
