On the recordJuly 24, 1996
As our committee's report points out, the goal of the vernal pools task force, which has been in existence and continued their work since the 102d Congress, is to develop a general permit application that will identify a finite area of high grade vernal pools suitable for protection. Funding for the vernal pools task force has been provided through the annual energy and Water Development appropriations. As a member of this subcommittee and as a convenor and initiator of the task force, I am pleased to have a role in overseeing the task force funding.
