Abstract

The Endangered Species Act (ESA) has re~ r d .. . , at deal of press in recent months, much of it n~gativ'--· following legislation proposed by Rep'.,~()•1ti~h, Alaksa) in September, 1995. His legislation essentially renders the ESA useless, by overruling definition of "taking," requiring federal agencies to pay off aggrevied landowners, and making protection on private lands voluntary. The earlier momentum of the bill has slowed considerably, as Republican leaders, including House Speaker Newt Gingrich, realize that the American public does not want to see hundreds of endangered species disappear forever.
