Rulemaking Moratorium

The proposed federal rulemaking moratorium, which NRA supports
because regulations by Fish & Wildlife Service, EPA, BATF, and 
others have been used to burden gun owners and hunters without
scientific basis, would not affect '95-96 migratory bird and
waterfowl seasons, because there is  an exemption for regulations
deemed by the Office of Management and Budget to be normal
"administrative functions."  

Essentially, this is a scare tactic -- the Interior Dept. doesn't
want to be prevented from issuing new regulations.  The drafters
of the bill have no intention of preventing next fall's waterfowl
season, and we believe they plan to offer amendments in
subcommittee to clarify that fact.

    	According to NPR news this morning, congress voted to specifically
    exclude hunting and fishing seasons from the federal rulemaking freeze.
