        the status of the endangered species of fish and projected 
        dates for downlisting and delisting under the Endangered

case of a transfer of funds for the purpose of funding activities under 
both programs, the limitation shall be applied to the funding amount

otherwise assigned) to advocate, lobby, or attend meetings that 
advocate or lobby for the Recovery Implementation Programs.''.
