Synopsis
Excerpt from Endangered Species Act Reauthorization Woodland: Hearing Before the Subcommittee on Environment and Natural Resources of the Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries, House of Representatives, One Hundred Third Congress, First Session on Implementation of the Endangered Species Act in California; July
Mr. Chairman, I am sorry I am unable to be in Sacramento but I compliment you for scheduling this series of oversight hearings. We had several excellent hearings in Texas yesterday and received a tremendous amount of support for reforming the Endangered Species Act.
When Congress passed this landmark environmental law in 1973, its fundamental goal was to prevent the extinction of our nation's natural resources. Twenty years later, that intent remains worthy, but the manner in which the Act is currently being implemented is not accomplishing that goal. Simply put, there must be a bal ance between protecting threatened and endangered species and protecting the rights of American citizens.
