"this committee must look at the Administration's actions on critical habitat designations because they expand the scope of the Endangered Species Act."

"We need a 21st century conservation ethic that is consistent with the movement that the American people have made in their understanding of sound and replicatable science."

"the regulations will also likely encourage increased ESA litigation and closed-door ESA settlements between the Services and litigious groups."

"the Services are unilaterally promulgating rules that change and expand critical habitat designations without congressional input."
