Mr. Chairman, our members, and, we are confident, the public at 

 large would oppose any weakening of baiting prohibitions 

 contained in the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and its implementing 

 regulations. Baiting wildlife to increase the likelihood of 

 harvest is widely viewed as unfair and unethical. We urge you in 

 the strongest possible terms to retain baiting prohibitions as 

 they currently exist. 



Thank you- 



Sincerely, 



John W. Grandy, Ph.D. 



Vice President 



Wildlife and Habitat Protection
