Like the "Fight Fire with Fire" initiative launched earlier this year, Babbitt again teams with Agriculture Secretary Dan Glickman to combine pilot restoration restora-tion efforts under one clear, unified and aggressive national plan, and to more than double the funds available for it. Under this drive, to "Bring Back the Natives," Babbitt and Glickman released more than $5 million in new federal and private grants for more than 44 innovative projects that will directly replenish aquatic habitat for native fish species in 14 states this year. Ultimately, the drive will restore habitat on 283,000 miles of streams and 6.5 million acres of lakes within with-in 462 million acres, or 70 percent of all federal lands. "If at first this joint campaign seems modest in cost," said Babbitt, "just consider its on-the- i I 1 fcwjlULB E Ri??l I 1 1 MM m m m. f Early Bird SPECIALS AVAILABLE 5-7P.M.

In this way, the Endangered Species Act fuels, guides and expands the base of rural economic growth." Babbitt boosted his Bureau of Reclamation into the federal-private team of the USDA Forest Service, U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, Bureau of Land Management, National Fish and Wildlife Foundation and private and nonprofit groups like Trout Unlimited and Oregon Trout. He integrated the use of federal fish hatcheries to replenish rare native fish as a priority. And he unveiled the economic and ecological rewards of this leveraged approach, state by state. "Healthy fisheries reflect a healthy watershed this translates to economic prosperity," said Glickman. "On USDA Forest Service lands, fishing generates over $1.8 billion a year for rural communities. We can and should expand their growth and development develop-ment by doubling our efforts through cooperative, up-from-the-roots programs such as this."

Since 1973, the Endangered Species Act always protected a vulnerable few hundred, hun-dred, but lacked funds to aggressively aggres-sively restore habitat. Now 247 acres of lake habitat and 89 miles of stream have been restored for 70,000 greenbacks reproducing in the wild. As Colorado's newly designated des-ignated official fish, the greenback helps attract 830,000 anglers to the state from around the world. Those anglers have doubled the amount they spend, from $332 million in 1991 to $630 million last year, adding 10,000 new jobs and $35 million in tax revenues. "That's how we can turn greenbacks that swim into greenbacks that buy groceries," gro-ceries," said Babbitt. This year, Bring Back the Natives awards $158,000 in grants to the Utah Division of Wildlife to improve the riparian habitats of Bitter Creek through enhanced livestock management and to allow for possible future reintroduction of native Colorado River Cutthroat to the Book Cliffs near Vernal, Utah. Since the Administration took office, such programs helped attract 90,000 new anglers (406,000 total) who now spend $192 million each year, $38 million more than in 1991. The campaign not only promotes pro-motes focused cooperation between government agencies, it sets up a mechanism for building partnerships with the private sector, sec-tor, from utility companies to timber tim-ber corporations. "You can't change things until you invest," said NFWF director Amos Eno. "We brought partners together, not with rhetoric but with capital. Federal agencies are often reactive, unable to get out of their turf to work with their constituency. We turn the envelope inside out, help them get their hands in the gravel with partners, where they belong." Though it can drive and expand rural economic prosperity, this watershed restoration effort also broadens ecologic recovery. "Trout are so sensitive to habitat, needing Cannon votes to drop Americans' tax burden Rep. Chris Cannon (R-Utah) voted "Yes" recently to pass the Taxpayer Relief Act and fulfill the Republican commitment to provide pro-vide permanent tax relief. Cannon calls tax relief the most important thing Congress can do for the average aver-age family this year. "This is the first tax relief hardworking hard-working Americans have seen since 1981 under Ronald Reagan. American families and businesses routinely pay their bills and play by the rules, only to be shortchanged by the weight of the federal tax burden," bur-den," said Cannon. "This plan is the first step towards letting taxpayers keep more of what they earn, reversing about a third of the tax hike imposed by President Clinton and the Democrats in 1993. cold and clean streams, that they form a keystone species that links aquatic plants and animals throughout the watershed," said new Forest Chief Mike Dombeck, who helped found the program. "To recover one is to replenish all. So from Idaho's osprey to Mark Twain's red-legged frog of Calaveras County, this plan will help restore 183 rare species throughout America." Sporting groups agreed. "Bring Back the Natives wouldn't be the success story it is without a strong Endangered Species Act catalyst to bring together private landowners landown-ers and federal agencies to join Trout Unlimited volunteers to work for real, lasting habitat restoration for native trout and salmon," said Charles F. Gauvin, president and CEO of Trout Unlimited." Our native trout are American originals, as much a part of our rich natural heritage as the bald eagle or grizzly bear. We owe it to future generations of anglers to do everything we can to protect them." "Some of the benefits of healthy watersheds are obvious," said Dombeck. "We can all appreciate appre-ciate better fishing and cleaner water. Less visible but of equal importance, healthy watersheds reduce water treatment costs, buffer against the effects of floods, recharge aquifers, and reduce erosion." ero-sion." Finally, the drive complements the federal and state Endangered Species Act process itself. "By engaging anglers and private industry to take 'ownership' in restoration efforts," said Babbitt, "we can take proactive measures to downlist fish to threatened status, sta-tus, keep declining species off the list altogether, or push a recovering trout species like the greenback or golden towards the exit signs on that list. As a program to generate trust, stability, matching funds and teamwork, this stands as a model as we debate reauthorizing the Endangered Species Act." "The typical worker puts in three hours of each work day just to pay taxes. President Clinton has a moral obligation to join with Congress, sign the tax cut bill and let Americans enjoy some tax relief." The Taxpayer Relief Act targets tax cuts to the people who need it most: middle-class families who are trying to raise children, pay for their education, and save for their own retirement. Under the plan, a $500 child tax credit will help parents provide for the basic needs of young children and teenagers. Savings and investing invest-ing will be made easier through expanding IRAs, including a home-maker home-maker IRA. Passing down the family fam-ily business will be eased through a decrease in the "death" tax.
