Ken Buck said "The Endangered Species Act is no longer used as a shield. It is now used as a sword, yet we don't authorize it. We don't hold hearings, and we don't examine the impact of the Endangered Species Act. Parts of it undoubtedly are good, but a large part of it is a program that needs to either be cut, amended, or certainly examined. Mr. Speaker, I invite our good friend from Virginia, who has a wealth of information for Americans, to join us and tell us what he knows. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Good)." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
