| US - Golden Eagle - Protection | Public Law 87-884; 76 Stat. 1246 (1962) |

The Joint Resolution states that the golden eagle was added under the Act not only because it too faced extinction, but its listing would further protect the bald eagle, as the two species are sometimes mistaken for each other.
