WASHINGTON, Jan. 27 /U.S. Newswire/ -- The Children's Defense Fund Action Council today called on Members of Congress to support children and defeat the 2006 budget bill when it is voted on in the U.S. House of Representatives on February 1st. Congress failed children miserably in 2005. But Members of Congress will have a final chance to do the right thing and vote for children when this morally obscene budget bill is brought before them again for a vote next week. Last year, Congress chose to protect the wealthiest among us at the expense of the most vulnerable among us: our children," said Children's Defense Fund (CDF) Action Council President Marian Wright Edelman.

We are removing the WGL DPS from the List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife. We are taking this action because the best available scientific and commercial information indicates that the WGL DPS does not meet the definitions of threatened or endangered under the Act.
