Hi all,

This Wednesday (5/16), the House Natural Resources Committee<https://naturalresources.house.gov/calendar/eventsingle.aspx?EventID=404654> is marking up a suite of bills, including H.R. 3916 and H.R. 4419. These bills threaten to weaken ESA protections for imperiled fish species, unnecessarily limit public participation and undermine the environmental review process for new dams and other surface water storage projects.

Many of your groups signed onto the attached letters opposing these bills when they received hearings at the end of last year. Please find here<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdq3d_VDnFKuLuOUws0R_cmNCoXrYEjgRFDkMroXHiWeQQfQw/viewform?usp=sf_link> and attached, an updated letter that merges the language from the previous letters on the bills.

**Because the language on the bills has not substantively changed, groups that signed onto both letters will be automatically added to the letter. If your group is on the below list and does NOT want to be included as signer, please email me to opt out.**

All others, please use this form<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdq3d_VDnFKuLuOUws0R_cmNCoXrYEjgRFDkMroXHiWeQQfQw/viewform?usp=sf_link> to sign on by 3:00pm Tuesday (5/15).

Thank you,
Nora
