I must respectfully reaffirm my concern with the provision in this bill that removes Endangered Species Act protection for gray wolves and prohibits judicial review in the Great Lakes and in Wyoming.

Allowing them to import their trophies seems reasonable to me, particularly since import fees fund necessary polar bear conservation measures.

I fully acknowledge that wolves present unique challenges in your State that much of our country may not understand.

I want to thank you for your efforts to produce a bipartisan bill and for everyone who has worked on this to get us here to this point today.

We formed the Federal Government for the common defense and for the common security.

Again, we appreciate your presence, your testimony, and your willingness to respond to our questions.

I would be remiss if I did not mention the new provisions in this bill to reauthorize the Chesapeake Bay program, the Chesapeake Bay Initiative Act.

It will not work without Federal leadership.

How would we feel if folks over in Maryland were somehow polluting whether it is the air or the water that comes over and diminishes our ability to make a living?
