     role in improving wildlife habitat and increasing outdoor 
     recreation opportunities on Federal and State land; and
       (2) reauthorizing the Land and Water Conservation Fund 
     should be a priority for Congress and should include 
     improvements to the structure of the program to more 
     effectively manage existing Federal land.
