I would like to first comment that Massachusetts, at one time, was home to the Heath Hen, which is the greater sage-grouse's cousin. Because at that time we did not have an Endangered Species Act, that Heath Hen is now, unfortunately, extinct. So we have learned an important lesson about the great role the Endangered Species Act does play to protect some of our remarkable species. I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Beyer), my colleague.
