My goodness, that might be enough just to end the hearing right there. That is horrible, to think that an American citizen has been threatened by a foreign cartel if they come to Congress and testify about what that cartel is doing on American soil.
Westerman expresses shock at the threats against American citizens from cartels.

I would be remiss today if I did not thank Representative Dingell for her support for state fish and wildlife agencies.
So, it is really not about a species, it is about habitat. And this bill is focused on restoring habitat, not somehow magically waving a wand and recovering a species. It all comes back to habitat.
I think under RAWA you would have about $13 million a year, but you probably have the potential to generate $30 or $40 million a year to do wildlife management where you don't have something like a timber resource to pay it back.
Many people claim that conservation and economic success are mutually exclusive. However, I believe the two do go hand in hand.
