Yes. I understand that this group, which is composed of a diverse array of impacted interests, recently received approval for the NW Oregon/SW Washington Canada Goose Agricultural Depredation Control Plan which provides a foundation for many depredation reduction programs. I am very impressed by the work of this group and am delighted that it will have sufficient flexibility to develop solutions to this problem.

I agree with his statement that the Committee intends for Interior to study the entire NRC report carefully and to adopt a rule that is consistent with the findings and recommendations of that report.
In response to my colleague, the senior Senator from Nevada, let me say that your understanding of the issues affecting Lake Tahoe is correct. Your concerns seem reasonable, as does your interpretation of the language in question.
I would agree that the U.S. Forest Service should preserve the option to use such fire retardants in order to minimize the long-term visual impacts of wildfires.
My home state, too, has experienced the disruption that a federal endangered species listing can cause. I therefore appreciate the importance and urgency of the funds sought by the Senator from Maine.
