Dear Acting Secretary Bernhardt:

The Endangered Species Transparency and Reasonableness Act, H.R. 3608, by Congressman McClintock passed the House Natural Resources Committee today.

"The legislation will allow the American people to see the data that is being used to make Endangered Species Act (ESA) listing decisions," said Congressman McClintock. "This measure opens up the information so that the public can look at it, the science can be debated and challenged, and the best possible decision rendered under the terms of the Endangered Species Act."

please know as you mourn your colleague, we appreciate all you do to keep us
