On the recordMarch 2, 1995
If this legislation were to pass and in a few months when it is law, would Fish and Wildlife act in the same way and go out and just designate everything that they see as potential habitat and gain control of it? Or would they prioritize the areas? Mr. McINTOSH. It is my expectation that they would prioritize it for areas which are in fact critical habitat for species such as the bald eagle, but leave citizens such as Mr. Dye alone in their private property and actually seek out those areas that are critical to preserve that habitat.
