In a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder last year, Udall and Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) said, “We believe most Americans would be stunned to learn the details of . . . these secret court opinions.

Speaking of Mark Udall:
A search team found the body of Colorado Sen. Mark Udall's brother in western Wyoming's Wind River Range on Wednesday after he didn't return from a solo backpacking trip, the family said.
James "Randy" Udall, 61, had left June 20 for the weeklong trek, setting off from a trailhead 10 miles northwest of Pinedale. He was due back a week ago.

Mark Udall's office released a statement from the family saying that while an autopsy is forthcoming, it appears his brother died of natural causes.

Randy Udall helped found the nonprofit Community Office for Resource Energy Efficiency, which promotes the use of renewable energy in the Aspen, Colo., area.
