Dear Chairman Seucton: 



I am submitting a letter from my constituent, Mr. Frank Curie, 

 President of Zoological Birds Import, to be made part of the hearing 

 on the Wild Bird Conservation Act of 1992. 



Mr. Curie outlines some of the abuse and harassment he has had to 

 endured in legally importing birds for his business. It was never 

 the intention of the Wild Bird Conservation Act to punish law 

 abiding citizens, but Mr. Curie's experience proves that something 

 went wrong 6md we need to fix it. 



It is my sincere hope you will find his contribution to this hearing 

 valuable, smd I appreciate your considering Mr. Curie's statement 

 for the record.
