What the document says

“Meaningful reform of the Endangered Species Act requires that Congress take action to restore its original purpose”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 533

The chapter says the act is used to seize private property, prevent economic development and interfere with the rights of states over their wildlife populations, and asks Congress to end those uses. It says a new Administration should take immediate action in the meantime.

What the document actually says

“Meaningful reform of the Endangered Species Act requires that Congress take action to restore its original purpose”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 533
That sentence, in plain words

Congress must act on this law. It should go back to what it was for.

What this is about

One law protects animals at risk of dying out. The book says it is used to block building. It says Congress should change it.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to read this page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the book itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
