        Implementation Programs actions and accomplishments to date, 
        the status of the endangered species of fish and projected 
        dates for downlisting and delisting under the Endangered 
        Species Act of 1973, and the utilization of power revenues for

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