MULTINATIONAL SPECIES CONSERVATION FUNDS REAUTHORIZATION ACT OF 2007 -- (House of Representatives - July 23, 2007)

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mrs. McMORRIS RODGERS. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.

Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong support of H.R. 50. This legislation, introduced by the distinguished ranking Republican on the Natural Resources Committee, the Honorable Don Young, will extend the African Elephant Conservation Act and the Rhinoceros and Tiger Conservation Act. This legislation builds upon the proven success of these two conservation funds and allows the Secretary of the Interior to continue to approve badly needed conservation grants for the next 5 years. These acts have been two of the most effective conservation laws ever approved by the United States Congress.

Mr. Speaker, I urge adoption of this legislation.

Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
