"Mr. Wittman's bill would prohibit a blanket U.S. Fish and Wildlife ban on lead ammunition and fishing tackle..."
"Such a ban on lead ammunition and fishing tackle will have serious consequences for sportsmen who contribute to conservation."
"Let's make no mistake about it. There are instances where we see conflict with lead and wildlife that has clearly been taken care of with banning lead shot for hunting waterfowl."
"I haven't seen a single bit of evidence that says that a lead fishing sinker that is at the bottom of 100 feet of water somehow is going to be detrimental to the California condor."
