                      PACIFIC SALMON RECOVERY ACT

                                 ______
                                 

                               speech of

                        HON. MICHAEL K. SIMPSON

                                of idaho

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 13, 2001

       The House in Committee of the Whole House on the State of 
     the Union had under consideration the bill (H.R. 1157) to 
     authorize the Secretary of Commerce to provide financial 
     assistance to the States of Alaska, Washington, Oregon, 
     California, and Idaho for salmon habitat restoration projects 
     in coastal waters and upland drainages, and for other 
     purposes:

  Mr. SIMPSON. Mr. Chairman, I would like to revise my earlier 
statement during debate on the Hooley amendment to H.R. 1157, the 
Pacific Salmon Recovery Act. During the debate I erroneously stated the 
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) had ordered a landowner in my 
district to fill in an illegally dug stream channel. It was the U.S. 
Army Corps of Engineers that told my constituent to fill in the stream 
channel.
