Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the text of the bill be printed in the Record. There being no objection, the text of the bill was ordered to be printed in the Record, as follows: S. 376 Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. This Act may be cited as the ``21st Century Endangered Species Transparency Act''. SEC. 2. REQUIREMENT TO PUBLISH ON INTERNET BASIS FOR LISTINGS.
