We believe that this difficultdecision wil1 help to ensure that the integrity and strength of theAct is reaffirmed when its reauthorization_of appropriations reachesthe House floor.In this context the Federation forwarded thefol1owing letter(and a proposed amendment)to the SubcommitteeChairman:  \nJuly 31,1978  \nThe Honorable Robert LeggettChairman  \nHouse Subcommittee on Fisheriesand Wildlife Conservation andthe Environment  \n1334 Longworth House Office BuildingWashington,D.C.  \nDear Mr.Chairman:  \nIt is my understanding that the House Subcommittee onFisheries and Wi1dlife Conservation and the Environmentwill soon explore amendments to Section 7 of the EndangeredSpecies Act of 1973.I hope that the enclosed proposedamendment will be given serious cons ideration by the sub-committee in its deliberations.It is only with great re-luctance that the National Wildlife Federation is recom-mending that the subcommittee support an amendment to theAct.  Yet,we have concluded that the time has come tooffer constructive suggestions to the Congress on how webelieve this difficult and perplexing issue can best beresolved.  \nAs you know,in past testimony before your subcommittee,the Federation has taken the position that amendments toSection 7 are unwarran ted and unnecessary.  The vastmajority of possible conflicts between endangered speciesand development projects have been resolved through theexisting processes of consultation between the Fish andWildlife Service and the construction agency,or projectmodification which is consistent with developmentobjectives.In no case where the construction agency hasmade a good faith effort to accommodate the needs of an  \nendangered species.as wel1 as the project objectives,hasa conflict been irresolvable.  \nHowever,past successes not withstanding,the Congress nowseems likely to amend the Act.The Senate has passed anamendment to Section 7 by an overwhelming margin;94-3.Your subcommittee is planning to deliberate amendments tothe Act.  And various amendments,many of which would becrippling,are expected to be introduced when the reauthor-ization of appropriations for the Act reaches the Housefloor.  \nIn view of the present mood of Congress,the NatfonalWildlife Federation urges that the Subcommittee on Fisher-ies and Wildlife consider adopting the enclosed amendment.We believe the amendment would provide \"flexibility\"to theAct which Congress might consider advisable,while alsoseeking to ensure that the national commitment to the pro-tection of endangered and threatened species is not under-mined.  \nThe amendment would incorporate many aspects of thelegislation recently adopted by the Senate whileeliminating its serious shortcomings.It would balance theoverriding human needs to be met by development projectswith the equal importance to mankind of preserving geneticdiversity,in those very rare cases where an irresolvableconflict between them occurs.  Most importantly,theamendment seeks to maintain the integrity of the existingconsulation process which,when entered into in good faith,has resolved conflicts so successfully to date.  \nI want to thank you and the subcommittee for your carefulconsideration of this issue,both during the long and ex-haustive oversight hearings,and now that a resolutionseems near.We are looking forwar","cbCaig5A4bDLFeWN","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaig5A4bDLFeWN","pdf",1409425,"English","# EDITORIAL/OPINION\n## NWF COMMENTS ON ENDANGERED SPECIES ACT\n# MARKUP CONTINUES ON ALASKAN LANDS LEGISLATION\n## MINING CONTROVERSY\n# SUMMARY\n## TRANSPORTATION ACCESS RESOLVED","[{\"question\":\"What amendment does the National Wildlife Federation urge the House Subcommittee to consider?\",\"answer\":\"It urges adoption of an amendment to Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act to strengthen the legislation passed by the Senate while addressing shortcomings.\"},{\"question\":\"Why does the Federation recommend an amendment despite earlier opposition?\",\"answer\":\"It states that prior amendments to Section 7 were considered unwarranted and that conflicts were resolved through existing consultation processes.
