   To honor the 30th anniversary of the enactment of the Endangered 
                          Species Act of 1973.

Whereas the Endangered Species Act was enacted on December 28, 1973;
Whereas the United States has a long and proud tradition of respect for its 
        wildlife and other natural resources;
Whereas species extinction and habitat loss have been identified as grave 
        threats to human welfare;
Whereas for the last 30 years, the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 
        1531 et seq.) has protected the world's animals and plants from the 
        threat of extinction; and
Whereas the Endangered Species Act of 1973 is a model for conservation and 
        habitat preservation throughout the world: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives honors the 30th 
anniversary of the enactment of the Endangered Species Act of 1973.
                                 <all>
