R E P O R T 

[To accompany S. Con. Res. 6] 

The Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, to which was 

referred the concurrent resolution (S. Con. Res. 6) expressing the 

sense of Congress that the National Museum of Wildlife Art, located in Jackson, Wyoming, should be designated as the ‘‘National 

Museum of Wildlife Art of the United States’’, having considered 

the same, reports favorably thereon without amendment and recommends that the resolution do pass. 

PURPOSE OF THE MEASURE

The purpose of S. Con. Res. 6 is to express the sense of Congress 

that the National Museum of Wildlife Art, located in Jackson, Wyoming, should be designated as the ‘‘National Museum of Wildlife 

Art of the United States.’’ 

BACKGROUND AND NEED

The National Museum of Wildlife Art is a private, non-profit entity located just outside of Jackson, Wyoming, near the National 

Elk Refuge and Grand Teton National Park. The museum, which 

opened its doors in 1987, has a collection of nearly 4,000 works of 

art, including paintings, sculpture, and photograph devoted to wildlife. 

Although the museum is not affiliated with the Department of 

the Interior, the National Park Service has worked frequently with 

the museum on special exhibits related to the park’s history and 

resources.

Because of the museum’s unique collection of wildlife art, and its 

location near Grand Teton National Park, S. Con. Res. 6 would express the sense of Congress that the museum should be designated 

as the ‘‘National Museum of Wildlife Art of the United States.’’

LEGISLATIVE HISTORY

S. Con. Res. 6 was introduced by Senators Enzi and Thomas on 

January 31, 2007. During the 109th Congress, the Subcommittee 

held a hearing on a similar measure, S. 2252, on April 6, 2006 (S. 

Hrg. 109–447). No further action occurred with respect to the bill. 

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

The Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, in an 

open business session on May 23, by a unanimous voice vote of a 

quorum present, recommends that the Senate pass S. Con. Res 6. 

SUMMARY OF THE RESOLUTION

S. Con. Res. 6 expresses the sense of Congress that the National 

Museum of Wildlife Art, located in Jackson, Wyoming, should be 

designated as the ‘‘National Museum of Wildlife Art of the United 

States. 

REGULATORY IMPACT EVALUATION

In compliance with paragraph 11(b) of rule XXVI of the Standing 

Rules of the Senate, the Committee makes the following evaluation 

of the regulatory impact which would be incurred in carrying out 

S. Con. Res. 6. The bill is not a regulatory measure in the sense 

of imposing Government-established standards or significant economic responsibilities on private individuals and businesses. 

No personal information would be collected in administering the 

program. Therefore, there would be no impact on personal privacy. 

Little, if any, additional paperwork would result from the enactment of S. Con. Res. 6, as ordered reported. 

EXECUTIVE COMMUNICATIONS

Because S. Con. Res. 6 is a concurrent resolution expressing the 

sense of Congress, the Committee did not request Executive Agency 

views on the resolution. 

CHANGES IN EXISTING LAW

In compliance with paragraph 12 of rule XXVI of the Standing 

Rules of the Senate, the Committee notes that no changes in existing law are made by the concurrent resolution, S. Con. Res. 6, as 

ordered reported.
