On the recordJuly 23, 1998
As chairman of the Drinking Water Fisheries and Wildlife Subcommittee of the Environment and Public Works Committee, I am concerned that the National Marine Fisheries Service's guidelines on essential fish habitat have exceeded the scope of congressional intent. In 1996, Congress amended the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act. The National Marine Fisheries Service's interpretation of a provision in that Act concerns me, the States and a diverse range of affected businesses and citizens throughout the country.
