Lincoln Chafee: “I note that in the second-degree amendment it provides $1 to the Fish…”

On the recordMarch 13, 1996

I note that in the second-degree amendment it provides $1 to the Fish and Wildlife Service to do the entire emergency listing. That shows you how serious the other side is about this whole proposition. In other words, in the underlying bill, there was $750,000 which was available for the downlisting and the other activities in connection with this program. And now they are saying that we are out to take care of this situation because there is an emergency provision, and in order to take care of it they provide $1. It seems to me that shows you how serious really the other side is in proposing this second-degree amendment. And so I hope that the Reid effort to table the Hutchison amendment will succeed.
