On the recordApril 25, 1996
I want to thank and salute the gentleman and the chairman of the full committee for their tremendous work on this bill, especially in his efforts in this bill and the conference report to prevent unnecessary regulation and unintended consequences under the Endangered Species Act. Of specific concern right now is the proposed designation by the U.S. Fish Wildlife Service of critical habitat for the marbled murrelet. I understand that it is the intent of the conferees, in the event that the Fish and Wildlife Service is required by court order to finalize the regulation, the service is to consider fully all the comments submitted during the review period, including the comments by private individuals and State agencies. Further, if the service cannot consider fully these comments, the service should notify the appropriate court and petition for an extension.
