The federal government should provide financial assistance to states for outdoor recreation programs under matching-fund principles. The states similarly should assist local government outdoor recreation efforts. Fees for recreational use of federal lands, waters and outdoor recreation facilities. Excise taxes on recreational equipment. Federal leasing of offshore oil and gas rights.
Energy resource leases on federal lands.
The primary mission of the Land and Water Conservation Fund is the acquisition of the land base for outdoor recreation and the preservation of our natural heritage. Fund monies should be used only for outdoor recreation programs. Indoor recreation facilities should be financed separately.
