On the recordMay 14, 1996
I strongly support H.R. 2982, introduced by our colleague, Tom Bevill, to convey the Carbon Hill National Fish Hatchery to the State of Alabama. This legislation is virtually identical to measures enacted into law last year which transferred three Federal fish hatcheries to the States of Arkansas, Iowa, and Minnesota. Under the terms of H.R. 2982, the Secretary of the Interior will convey within 180 days of enactment all rights, title, and interest to this 67-acre facility to the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources. The bill also contains the standard reversionary clause the stipulates that the property will be returned to the Federal Government if it is used for any purpose other than the State's fish cultural program. This hatchery, which has been in operation for nearly 60 years, produces about one million fish each year which are used to restock ponds, lakes, and rivers throughout the Southeast.

this amendment, is perhaps well intended but goes much too far. This together with the $764 million that has already been cut from the bill provides us with a 20 percent cut in the missile defense program. Since 2001, contrary to what the…
