<br />being provided in accordance with <br />state law and interstate compacts. <br />Equitable and mutually agree- <br />able funding, arrangements were <br />negotiated by the programs' par- <br />ticipants. All the participants have <br />made long-term commitments to <br />the recovery programs and have <br />supported legislation to provide <br />continued funding. A broad range <br />of activities is being carried out to <br />recover the endangered fish, and <br />the endangered fish are beginning <br />to respond to those actions. Colo- <br />rado pikeminnow populations are <br />increasing The razorback sucker <br />was near extinction. Stocked razor- <br />back sucker are now appearing at <br />spawnipg locations. Humpback <br />chub populations are stable. <br />BonytaiJ are being reintroduced. <br />The long-term prognosis is that the <br />endangered fish will be recovered <br />in the foreseeable future. One <br /> <br />001021 <br /> <br />major benefit of the programs is <br />that delisting is a realistic goal. <br />The Upper Basin and San Juan <br />recovery programs are not without <br />flaws, but they are achieving the <br />goals of the Endangered Species <br />Act while avoiding conflicts with <br />other federal and state laws. This <br />is a truly remarkable achievement. <br />Indeed, Congress and the federal <br />agencies could benefit by consid- <br />ering these programs as examples <br />of how the Endangered Species Act <br />should be implemented.. <br /> <br />The Honorable James V.
