Endangered Species Act Amendments of 1987. House of Representatives, One Hundredth Congress, First Session, December 7, 1987
The Endangered Species Act of 1976 was passed in response to a concern that various species of fish, wildlife, and plants had become or were in danger of becoming extinct from pressures of trade or economic growth and development. The Act is administered by the US Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) and the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) for species under their respective jurisdictions and by the Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) to regulate the import and export of endangered plants. APHIS has inadequate resources to prevent the sizeable and sophisticated illegal international trade in protected plants. The Committee recognizes the need to authorize the Fish and Wildlife Service to share the responsibility now vested in APHIS for prosecuting violations of plant importation and exportation provisions of the Act. The purpose of this legislation is to authorize appropriations to carry out the Act for Fiscal Years 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991, and 1992, and to amend the Act.
