[NOTE: Oct. 16, 2007 -  [H.Con.Res.193] HUNTERS' COMMITMENT TO
SAFETY--RECOGNITION

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.

Agreed to October 16, 2007.
