Babbitt, B.
Testimony on H.R. 3113, the Reauthorization of the Rhinoceros and Tiger Conservation Act of 1994 amd H.R. 2807, the Rhino and Tiger Product Labeling Act
1998  Full Book

In summary, the Administration is strongly in favor of the adoption ofH.R. 2807, with some technical amendments. It will help to ensure that commercial trade in rhino and tiger medicines in the United States does not undermine the benefits to range countries from Congressional appropriations to the Rhino and Tiger Conservation Fund and compound the cost of conserving these species in the wild. Passage ofH.R. 2807 would complement and enhance our ongoing conservation efforts under the Rhino and Tiger Conservation Act, the Pelly Amendment, CITES, and other domestic and international measures. We believe that the Rhino and Tiger Product Labeling Act will help continue the global leadership role of the United States in rhino and tiger conservation.
