                         JOINT MEMORIAL
To the United States Secretary of the Interior:
  We, your memorialists, the Seventy-seventh Legislative Assembly
of the State of Oregon, in legislative session assembled,
respectfully represent as follows:
  Whereas the population of cormorants has increased in Oregon in
recent years; and
  Whereas cormorants have hindered efforts to protect the salmon
and steelhead resources of Oregon; and
  Whereas current efforts to control the negative effects of
cormorants on the salmon and steelhead resources of Oregon have
been ineffective; and
  Whereas other options are necessary to protect the salmon and
steelhead resources of Oregon; now, therefore,
Be It Resolved by the Legislative Assembly of the State of
  Oregon:
  (1) The United States Secretary of the Interior is respectfully
urged to allow the enhanced management of cormorants in Oregon by
the State of Oregon in order to reduce depredations of the salmon
and steelhead resources of Oregon by cormorants.
  (2) A copy of this memorial shall be sent to the United States
Secretary of the Interior.
                         ----------
