Austin Scott

I think that is an accurate portrayal of what we are trying to accomplish, and whatever the language is, if we need to make minor language changes, I want my Chairman to know that we simply need to get you the authority to be able to…

Legislation introduced last Congress by Representative Austin Scott provides such authority and would greatly enhance the Commission's ability to keep pace with emerging technology.

the number one concern is that there are no provisions in the current draft that would keep Mexico from dumping at a subsidized price into our markets at harvest time.

I appreciate your support of the farmers. I know you feel the pain as I do when you go home.

I feel like we are 4 years behind, because we do need to test it.

Legislation recently introduced by Congressman Austin Scott provides such authority and would greatly enhance the Commission's ability to keep pace with emerging technology.

We are trying to mirror what Congresswoman Dingell did for fishing with the hunting funds.

H.R. 2591, by Congressman Austin Scott, amends the Pittman-Robertson Wildlife Restoration Act to modernize the funding for wildlife conservation.

As a lifelong outdoorsman and current Vice Chair of the Congressional Sportsmen's Caucus, I am honored to be here today to discuss H.R. 2591.
