"I am concerned that the current discussion draft diverges from that bipartisan model."

"It is important that we always remember the foundational policy goals of this seminal Act: to protect and recover our Nation's endangered species and ecosystems."

"That is just inadequate, and we are never going to make the progress that we need, regardless of what States are doing, if that is the kind of commitment that the Federal Government is able to make."
