                Memorandum of April 26, 1996

                
Suspension of the Proviso Limiting Implementation 
                of Subsections (a), (b), (c), (e), (g), or (i) of the 
                Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1533) 
                Contained in the Omnibus Consolidated Rescissions and 
                Appropriations Act of 1996 (H.R. 3019)

                Memorandum for the Secretary of the Interior [and] the 
                Secretary of Commerce

                    By the authority vested in me by the final proviso 
                under the heading of United States Fish and Wildlife 
                Service, Resource Management, of title I of the 
                Department of the Interior and Related Agencies 
                Appropriations Act, 1996 (authorizing the suspension of 
                the preceding proviso limiting implementation of 
                subsections (a), (b), (c), (e), (g), or (i) of section 
                4 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 
                1533) (``limitation proviso'')), and section 301 of 
                title 3, United States Code, I hereby suspend that 
                limitation proviso because I have determined that such 
                suspension is appropriate based upon the public 
                interest in sound environmental management, sustainable 
                resource use, protection of national or locally-
                affected interests, and protection of cultural, 
                biological, or historic resources.
                    This suspension is effective immediately and shall 
                continue until the limitation proviso expires.
                    The Secretary of the Interior is authorized to 
                report this suspension to the Congress and to publish 
                this memorandum in the Federal Register.

                    (Presidential Sig.)

                THE WHITE HOUSE,

                    Washington, April 26, 1996.
