On the recordMay 10, 2000
Let me first say that the CARA bill that is before us today and tomorrow is extremely important for the conservation future of our Nation. For this reason, I am a strong supporter of the bill and voted for its passage as a member of the Committee on Resources. CARA is a remarkable bill that will dramatically increase environmental and conservation efforts in all 50 States. The amendment that I am offering tonight addresses a very pressing conservation need regarding the upper Mississippi River Basin. The upper Mississippi River Basin is one of our Nation's great ecological and recreational treasures. Its rich wetlands and back woods serve as North America's largest migratory route. The region boasts tremendous diversity in animal and plant species.
