Recognizing the vital importance of hunting as a legitimate tool of wildlife
resource management.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
FEBRUARY 28, 2001
Mr. GREEN of Wisconsin submitted the following concurrent resolution; which
was referred to the Committee on Resources
CONCURRENT 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;
•HCON 44 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, nongame, 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 Congress—
(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;
•HCON 44 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.

Encouraging the people of the United States to honor Patriot

Whereas in remembrance of the individuals who lost their
lives as a result of the terrorist attacks against the
United States on September 11, 2001, Congress des-
ignated September 11 as Patriot Day: Now, therefore, be
it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate

Recognizing the importance of teaching United States history in elementary
and secondary schools, and for other purposes.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
JULY 25, 2002
Mr. KIND (for himself and Mr. OSBORNE) submitted the following concurrent
resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Education and the
Workforce
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Recognizing the importance of teaching United States history
in elementary and secondary schools, and for other purposes.
Whereas gaining a sense of history is a gradual and cumu-
lative process, and history education should therefore
begin at the early stages of a student’s classroom experi-
ence and continue to develop throughout a student’s en-
tire educational career;
Whereas when students study United States history they be-
come familiar with the development and expansion of the
country, which enables them to better understand the
present relationship between the United States and other
countries and to anticipate future international inter-
action;
•HCON 451 IH
Whereas when students have a foundation of basic United
States history they can better understand their roles as
citizens of the United States and as a part of the global
community;
Whereas the National Assessment of Educational Progress
(NAEP) United States History Assessment of 2001
found that 6 out of 10 of senior high school students in
the United States lack even a basic knowledge of United
States history;
Whereas out of 29,000 students represented in this NAEP
study, only 29 percent of 12th graders knew that the
Gulf of Tonkin Resolution gave President Lyndon B.
Johnson authority to expand the Vietnam War and only
57 percent of 4th graders knew that one major cause of
the Civil War was the split between the North and South
over slavery;
Whereas in 1999, the United States placed 6th in the Inter-
national Civic Education (CivEd) Study, a study of 27
countries sponsored by The National Center for Edu-
cation Statistics (NCES) designed to tap the civic knowl-
edge and skills of 14-year-olds and their attitudes toward
democracy and citizenship;
Whereas according to the CivEd study, 12 percent of stu-
dents in the United States reported never or hardly ever
studying history in school, and the majority of 9th grad-
ers typically spent less than one hour per week doing his-
tory homework; and
Whereas according to the Center for Survey Research and
Analysis, fewer than half of the seniors surveyed at top
universities across the United States can identify crucial
events in United States history: Now, therefore, be it
(A) develop and implement professional develop-
ment programs to train elementary or secondary
school teachers to become master teachers and to
train existing master teachers;
(B) provide stipends and reimbursement for
travel to allow teachers to participate in professional
development programs in the summer and through-
out the year;
(C) provide guidance to sponsoring schools to
enable them to develop and implement a plan for the
use of master teachers;
(D) support participating teachers during the
summer in research programs conducted at institu-
tions of higher education, private entities, or govern-
ment facilities;
(E) provide educational materials and equip-
ment to master teachers;
(F) provide computer equipment and network
connectivity necessary to enable master teachers to
collaborate with other master teachers, to access
educational materials available online, and to com-
municate with scientists or other mentors at remote
locations; and
(G) fund any other activities the Director deter-
mines will accomplish the goals of this section.
