The Endangered Species Recovery Act of 1997 


	On July 31, 1997, Rep. George Miller (D-CA) 
introduced HR 2351, the Endangered Species Recovery 
Act of 1997, on behalf of himself and a bi-partisan 
group of 52 co-sponsors.  This legislation is based 
in part on the language of the Endangered Natural 
Heritage Act, bill language developed and favored by 
a wide-ranging coalition of conservation and 
environmental organizations.  Reaction to Miller's 
bill has been positive amongst environmentalists.

	A variety of excellent backgrounders, 
factsheets, and outlines regarding ESRA are available 
on the web.  (See, for example, 
http://www.defenders.org/esa-8.html )  To supplement 
this type of information, the Environmental Resources 
Information Network has established an ESRA web page 
of primary source documents.  This web page provides 
easy access to the full text of the bill, in both 
plain text and PDF formats.  Also provided is access 
to the current legislative status of the bill in the 
House of Representatives.  Mr. Miller's remarks to 
the House upon introduction of the bill, excerpted 
from the Congressional Record, are also available.
