                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

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.

            Passed the House of Representatives September 24, 2007.

            Attest:

                                                                 Clerk.
