        <text><![CDATA[ <p>This bill amends the Migratory Bird Treaty Act to provide that nothing in such Act prohibits possessing, selling, bartering, purchasing, shipping, and transporting any authentic Alaskan Native article of handicraft or clothing on the basis that it contains a nonedible migratory bird part. The exemption is inapplicable with respect to any handicraft or clothing containing any part of a migratory bird that was taken in a wasteful manner.</p>]]></text>
