                                              Agreed to October 16, 2007

                       One Hundred Tenth Congress

                                 of the

                        United States of America




          Begun and held at the City of Washington on Thursday,
            the fourth day of January, two thousand and seven


                          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.
Attest:

                                 Clerk of the House of Representatives.

Attest:

                                               Secretary of the Senate.
