my amendment reinforces the important role of States having primary responsibility for wildlife management. If the sage-grouse is listed as an endangered species, it will hurt most States in the western portion of the country. It will make important activities, such as renewable energy and grazing, in many cases impossible. I need help and support. I urge support for this amendment, and I appreciate the help and support I have gotten from Senators Hatch, Crapo, and Risch. I thank the Chair. The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The Senator from Washington.
