Robert L. Ehrlich, Jr. letter to D. P., May 12, 1995

ROBERT L. EHRLICH. JR. GOVERNMENT REFORM AND OVERSIGHT 8ANKING AND FINANCIAL SERVICES Congrrss of tftf Uniteb States Щъш of ftepresentatibrs ®Hasljmgton, JDC 20515-2002 May 12, 1995 Thank you for forwarding to me the article about the federal Endangered Species Act. It was very informative. I share your belief that the federal government must continue to play a role in protecting endangered species. As I indicated to you in my previous correspondence, I believe that we must reform existing law so that it accomplishes the noble goal of preserving diverse species without saddling our economy with excessive and needlessly burdensome regulations. Numerous studies show the current Endangered Species Act is long on regulations but short on real progress in species repopulation. Congress must also improve the law so that the federal government is respectful of the legitimate concerns of private property owners. Once again, thanks for writing. Please feel free to contact me again if I may be of assistance in the future. Sincerely, Robert L. Ehrlich, Jr. Member of Congress RLE: ijc
