Recognizing the vital importance of hunting as a legitimate tool of wildlife
resource management.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
NOVEMBER 16, 1999
Mr. GREEN of Wisconsin submitted the following resolution; which was
referred to the Committee on Resources
RESOLUTION
Recognizing the vital importance of hunting as a legitimate
tool of wildlife resource management.
Whereas past predatory animal populations served to check
the population of nonpredatory species;
Whereas through habitat reduction and other means, humans
have played a role in the decline in the population of
predatory animals;
Whereas nonpredatory species experience prolonged starva-
tion and devastating disease due to overpopulation;
Whereas hunting helps balance the population of nonpreda-
tory species;
Whereas hunters have a strong commitment to the overall
health of wildlife and to the broader public’s enjoyment
of our natural resources;
•HRES 378 IH
Whereas hunters have contributed a majority of the financial
resources for wildlife preservation through Federal and
State revenues generated from hunting licenses and
stamps;
Whereas these revenues are used to create and preserve habi-
tat for game, non-game, and endangered animal species;
and
Whereas these revenues are also used to regulate and effec-
tively protect the populations of these animals: Now,
therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives—
(1) recognizes hunting as a legitimate and nec-
essary tool of wildlife resource management;
(2) affirms the vital importance of lawful hunt-
ing, regulated by the various State departments in
charge of natural resources and the United States
Department of the Interior, in maintaining healthy
populations of wildlife;
(3) declares, as a matter of principle, that no
Federal law should be passed limiting the taking and
consumptive use of wildlife, other than those reason-
able laws to ensure the safety of hunters and the
continued perpetuation of wildlife itself; and
(4) acknowledges exceptions to paragraph (3),
including laws designed to—
(A) protect species that are in danger of
extinction;
•HRES 378 IH
(B) protect species which are not tradition-
ally considered as game or suitable for con-
sumptive use; and
(C) ensure hunting is carried out in a
sportsmanlike manner.

region.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
NOVEMBER 16, 1999
Mr. SCARBOROUGH submitted the following resolution; which was referred to
the Committee on Armed Services
RESOLUTION
Recognizing and commending the personnel of Eglin Air
Force Base, Florida, for their participation and efforts
in support of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization’s
(NATO) Operation Allied Force in the Balkan region.
Whereas the personnel of the Air Armament Center at Eglin
Air Force Base, Florida, developed and provided many of
the munitions, technical orders, expertise, and support
equipment utilized by NATO during the Operation Allied
Force air campaign;
Whereas the 2,000-pound Joint Direct Attack Munition
(JDAM) developed at the Air Armament Center was the
very first weapon dropped in Operation Allied Force;
•HRES 379 IH
Whereas the Air to Ground 130 (AGM 130) standoff missile,
developed at the Air Armament Center, enabled the F–
15E Strike Eagle air crews to standoff approximately 40
nautical miles from targets and attack with very high
precision; and
Whereas the reliable performance of the JDAM and AGM
130 enabled the combat air crews to complete bombing
missions accurately, effectively, and with reduced risk to
crews, resulting in no casualties among NATO air per-
sonnel, thereby making these munitions the ordinance fa-
vored most by combat air crews: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives—
(1) commends the men and women of Eglin Air
Force Base, Florida, for their contributions to the
unqualified success of Operation Allied Force;
(2) recognizes that the efforts of the men and
women of the Air Armament Center, Eglin Air
Force Base, Florida, helped NATO conduct the air
war with devastating effect on our adversaries, en-
tirely without American casualties in the air combat
operations;
(3) expresses deep gratitude for the sacrifices
made by those men and women and their families in
their support of American efforts in Operation Allied
Force; and
(4) commits to maintaining the technological
superiority of American air armament as a critical
•HRES 379 IH
component of our Nation’s capability to conduct and
prevail in warfare while minimizing casualties.
