Carrol,

With respect to item #1, the P G development (National Harbor), the impact 
will undoubtably be felt in reduced migrating and wintering ducks and eagles 
on and near the Potomac River adjacent to the proposed development, and will 
likely impact the resident, breeding, and migrating bird population at Dyke 
Marsh Wildlife Preserve, just across the river and may impact breeding 
attempts by Bald Eagles on the Maryland side near the proposed development.  
Its very sad and, I believe, very short-sighted.  It grieves me that the laws 
designed to protect the environment we live in as well as the natural beauty 
of the Potomac River in the DC area were so easily circumvented by the very 
body which created the Dyke Marsh Preserve in the first place, the Congress.

Does anyone have any comments or suggestions regarding two articles in
the Washington Post this weekend:
1) Saturday Metro section, "PR George's Project Wins Exemption," and
2) Sunday Metro, "A Conservation Compromise"?
