This proposal amends the Pittman-Robertson Wildlife Restoration Act and the Dingell-Johnson Federal Aid in Sport Fish Restoration Act to allow United States territories and the District of Columbia to enjoy equal funding considerations for…

H.R. 5875 is supported by all six Members representing U.S. territories and the District of Columbia.

It is not a matter of losing the funds, it is just a matter of we are not being able to expand at all.

This is not a fault of anybody who put these laws together way back in 1937.

H.R. 5875, introduced by Delegate Bordallo of Guam, seeks to address parity concerns between the 50 states and U.S. territories.

I am alarmed by the large discrepancy in shark fin import-export data collected by NOAA versus the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization.

I am very pleased that the Subcommittee is hearing testimony on H.R. 1456, which is the Shark Fin Sales Elimination Act, sponsored by Congressman Royce who testified earlier.

But sharks may not last much longer if we do not take action now.

My second part of this question is how can the U.S. leadership prompt other countries to crack down on harmful shark finning?

The science is very clear. We are facing a startling decline in shark species and populations worldwide.

H.R. 1456 closes the last legal loophole making it illegal under Federal law to sell, import, or possess shark fins on U.S. soil across all jurisdictions.
