The amendment,offered byTennessee Senator Howard Baker,would have exempted the Tellico dam from provisions ofthe Act,allowing completion and operation of the dam even though the endangered Sna1lDarter wou1d almost certainly have been extinguished as a result.An amendment offeredby Sen.Henry Bellπon(0kla.)was also defeated,14-80.  It would have required that anendangered species meet a test of \"economic or aesthetic value to man\"before it would beprotected.  \nProponents of the Baker Amendment argued that there should be some provision for\"grandfathering\"projects begun before the Act was passed and that the review committeeusurped prerogatives of Congress in killing the project for economic reasons.Thoseopposed to amending the Act countered that acceptance of the amendment would \"constitutea repudiation of the considered judgment\"made by Congress last year and would set aprecedent which would force Congress to resolve similar conflicts in the future.  \nThere were no substantive amendments to S.1143.  The bill would reauthorize the Actfor a 3-year period at slightly increasing authorization each year.  \nListed below is the vote on the Baker Amendment.A \"Nay\"vote is a vote against theamendment.  \nNAY8—52YEAB—43NOT VOTTNG—5BayhExonPereyArmstrongBentsenHazakaw&MorganBaucusTno47eBimpsoDGravelBIdenPresslerBakerHeflinNtunnCanbonMCGovernHartBoschwitProxmireBelimonEelmsPryorHatfeldRandolphBorenHol!mgsSasserBradleyHein2RIbiconBumpersHuddlestonSchmittChafeeKennedyRiegleghwEerChiles1enhyRothBLennChurchLevinBarbanesHarryP.,Jr.JavitsStevensCohenMagnusonStaffordByrd,Robert C.JepsenBbewnrtCranstonMathlas887e09uCochranJohnstonTalmadgeCulverMatsunagaStoneFordKassebaumThurmondDanforthMelcherTsongnsGarnLaxaltTowerDcConcinlMetzenbeumelpGlenn1n7WarnerDoleMoynlhanWelckerGoldwaterLugarYoungDomenlclMuskleWillilam8HatchMCClureDurenbergerNelsonZorinskyDurkinpellPackwoodEagleton  \nBIrdickByrd,  \nHumphreyJackson  \n# WATER RESOURCES POLICY\n\nThe House of Representatives has passed the Energy and Water Development Appropria-tions B11l for FY80,after brushing back two attempts to delete funding for controversia1water projects.On June 14,the House turned down an amendment offered by Rep.RobertEdgar(Pa.)to delete $9.1 m11lion for the Stonewall Jackson Dam in West Virginia。Edgarwas umable to secure a record vote on his amendment.  \nOn June 15,the House rejected by a vote of 210 to 106 an amendment offered by Rep.John Cavanaugh(Neb.)tc delete $6 milion for the O'Neil1 Unit reclamation project inNebraska.  Whle the absence of over 100 House members from this roll cal1 vote (whichoccurred on a Friday afternoon)kept the vote totals low on both sides,conservationistsnoted that a ful1 one-third of those present and voting voted to cut the O'Ne11l project.This statistic 11lustrates a continuing significant sentiment against water projectspending,and suggests that the President may well be successful once again if he choosesto veto a water project bill in the 96th Congress.  \nIn a surprise_move,the House accepted by voice vote an amendment to the bil1 toexempt the Tellico Dam from the Endangered Specles Act.   The significance of thisgesture,attached as a rider to the appropriations bi11,is as yet unclear.The Senatehas recently rejected a Tellico exemption.(See p.1 of this issue.)  \nFollowing are those members who voted in favorof the Cavanaugh amendment to deletefunding for the O'Ne1l1 Unit,along with those wbodid not vote.All others votedagainst the amendment.  \nANSWERED\"PRESENT\"—1  \nAYES—106  \nGephardt  \nGonzalez  \nAmbro  \nMyers,Pa.Neal  \nAnderson,  \nGingrlchGradiaon  \nNelgon  \nCalif.  \nApplegate  \nGray  \nNolan  \nOberstar  \nAspinBaileyBedell  \nGreen  \nHall,OhloHamilton  \nOttingerPatten  \nBetlens00  \nHsrkin  \nPatterson  \nBereuterBinghamBrsdemas  \nHarrls  \nPaul  \nHawk","cbCaicIW2OmPLFjN","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaicIW2OmPLFjN","pdf",1334357,"English","# ENDANGERED SPECIES\n## Baker Amendment to S.1143 (June 13 Senate action)\n# WATER RESOURCES POLICY\n## House action on Energy and Water Development Appropriations (FY80)\n# AVIATION NOISE BILL\n## Senate approval of S.413 and House committee status","[{\"question\":\"What was the Baker Amendment’s purpose regarding the Endangered Species Act?\",\"answer\":\"It would have exempted the Tellico Dam from provisions of the Act, allowing completion and operation even though the endangered Snail Darter would likely be extinguished.\"},{\"question\":\"How did the Senate vote on the Baker Amendment to S.1143?\",\"answer\":\"By a 43–52 vote, the Senate rejected the Baker Amendment on June 13.\"},{\"question\":\"What do the reported provisions of the aviation noise bills require the federal government to do?\",\"answer\":\"They require the Secretary of Transportation to create a single noise measurement system, assess aircraft noise impact on individuals, and develop methods to identify land uses compatible with varying noise levels.\"}]","Endangered Species - Baker Amendment (S.1143) - U.S. Senate Vote Report No. 15 | PDF",1789963848,13]
