                               RESOLUTION


 
      Recognizing the cooperative efforts of hunters, sportsmen's 
 associations, meat processors, hunger relief organizations, and State 
 wildlife, health, and food safety agencies to establish programs that 
                 provide game meat to feed the hungry.

Whereas almost every State has a program in which hunters may donate game meat 
        to feed the hungry;
Whereas hunters, sportsmen's associations, meat processors, community hunger 
        organizations, and State wildlife, health, and food safety agencies work 
        together successfully to operate such programs whereby hunters feed the 
        hungry; and
Whereas such programs have brought hundreds of thousands of pounds of game meat 
        to homeless shelters, soup kitchens, and food banks: Now, therefore, be 
        it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) recognizes the cooperative efforts of hunters, 
        sportsmen's associations, meat processors, hunger relief 
        organizations, and State wildlife, health and food safety 
        agencies to establish programs that provide game meat to feed 
        the hungry across the United States; and
            (2) recognizes the contributions of such programs to 
        efforts to decrease hunger and feed individuals in need.
