Section 113(a)(1)(B), compiled at 16 USC 4912 (a)(1)(B), and Section 113(a)(2)(B), compiled 

 at 16 USC 4912(a)(2)(B), there appears references to violations of prohibitions of Section 

 4910(a)(3). No such prohibition was enacted. 



To correct the drafting error, the Conmiittee should amend the act to strike Sections 

 4912(a)(1)(B) and 4912(a)(2)(B). 



WBCA and Raptor Conservation 



I made reference at the public hearing that the WBCA, rather than promote conservation, 

 may actually inhibit raptor conservation. I include for your consideration two letters written by 

 Dr. William Bumham on April 25, 1995 and May 12, 1994 regarding the raptor conservation 

 work imdertaken by The Peregrine Fund, which is adversely affected by the WBCA and its 

 regulations. The letters were written in response to a call for comments on proposed WBCA 

 regulations. I enclose those letters and request that they be made a part of my supplemental 

 testimony. 



Conclusion 



We appreciate the opportunity to present testimony and to have appeared at the hearing. 

 Based on the validity of our comments, we sincerely hope that you will agree that it was never 

 intended that the WBCA inhibit legitimate uses and conservation of raptors, and therefore, that 

 you will exempt the family Falconiformes from the WBCA.
