                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
 Recognizing all hunters across the United States for their continued 
                         commitment to safety.

Whereas in 2006 there were over 16,000,000 hunters in the United States of which 
        only .0013 percent incurred an injury during the past hunting season;
Whereas in 2006 this injury rate was lower than many other forms of recreation;
Whereas there are 70,000 hunter education instructors teaching hunter safety, 
        ethics, and conservation to approximately 750,000 students successfully 
        each year;
Whereas State fish and game agencies began offering hunter safety programs in 
        1949, and since then, more than 35,000,000 people have been certified;
Whereas much of the success of hunter safety can be contributed to hunter 
        education training and the role of responsible hunters in the field;
Whereas Congress commends Pennsylvania hunters for setting a new State safety 
        record in 2006;
Whereas hunters continue year after year to improve their safety record; and
Whereas hunters are the vital link in preserving and maintaining the great 
        natural resources in the United States, including wild places: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring),  
That the Congress--
            (1) recognizes all hunters across the United States for 
        their continued commitment to safety; and
            (2) directs the Secretary of the Senate to transmit a copy 
        of this resolution to the Pennsylvania State Game Commissioner 
        and the Director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
