                                 ______


                          HON. JAMES A. BARCIA

                              of michigan

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, March 2, 1994

  Mr. BARCIA of Michigan. Mr. Speaker, I would like to call attention 
to the outstanding service and leadership of Mr. Bob Easterbrook. As 
founder and president of the National Wildlife Education Foundation, 
Bob successfully initiated and developed conservation projects all over 
the world and throughout Michigan, bringing conservation, ecology, 
wildlife, and habitat education to thousands each year.
  A renowned hunter and conservationist, Bob has been tireless in his 
dedication to sportsmen. A founding member and past president of the 
Detroit chapter of Safari Club International, Bob has been repeatedly 
recognized in Michigan for his efforts to enhance the image of hunters 
in the community, earning the Michigan United Conservation Club Special 
Conservationist of the Year for 1986, Ted Nugent's World Bowhunters 
Lifetime Representative Award, and the Detroit chapter of the Safari 
Club International President's Award for 1991.
  A member of the international board of directors for Safari Club 
International, Bob has also been recognized for his work outside of 
Michigan, winning the World Wildlife Foundation Award 3 consecutive 
years for assisting in its formation, establishing its goals, 
direction, and purposes. More importantly, Bob established himself this 
year as the premiere hunter and conservationist in the country by 
winning the Safari Club International President's Award for 1994.
  In the endless campaign for prohunting legislation, Bob has 
continually worked to challenge State laws and successfully advocated 
for the adoption of the Sportsmen Against Hunger Program in five States 
including Michigan. Moreover, working with the Tracks Magazine Program, 
State teachers workshop, and Safari Club International Education 
Committee, Bob has directed his latest efforts toward the education of 
our youth, time and again demonstrating his ability to reach kids that 
teachers, doctors, and counselors couldn't.
  Mr. Speaker, I am proud to associate myself with the efforts of Bob 
Easterbrook, as he represents that which I strive for as a sportsman 
and as a hunter, providing the necessary framework to ensure the 
viability of the hunt for generations to come.
