Joint Resolution 
Asking the President of the United States to declare the fourth Saturday of 
September 1975 as "National Hunting and Fishing Day". 
Whereas in the congestion and the complexities, the tensions and 
frustrations of today's life, the need for outdoor recreation—the 
opportunity to "get away from it all"—has become of crucial 
importan(?e; and 
Whereas there are few pursuits providing a better chance for healthy 
exercise, peaceful solitude, and appreciation of the great outdoors 
than hunting and fishing; and 
Whereas this is evident in the fact that more than fifteen million hunt-
ing licenses and twenty-four million fishing licenses were issued in 
1970; and 
Whereas this income provides a rich source of funds for fish and 
wildlife conservation and management and for the salvation, preser-
vation, and propagation of vanishing species; and 
Whereas hunters and anglere traditionally have led in the effort to 
preserve our natural resources; and 
Whereas outdoor sportsmen also have led in the promotion of proper 
respect for private as well as public property, of courtesy in the field 
and forest, and in boating and firearm safetj^ programs; and 
Whereas there is no present national recognition of the many and 
worthwhile contributions of the American hunter and angler: Now, 
therefore, be it 
Resolved hy the Senate and House of Representatwes of the United 
States of America in Congress assembled^ That the President of the 
United States declare the fourth Saturday of September 1975, as 
"National Hunting and Fishing Day" to provide that deserved 
national recognition, to recognize the esthetic, health, and recreational 
virtues of hunting and fishing, to dramatize the continued need for 
gun and boat safety, and to rededicate ourselves to the conservation 
and respectful use of our wildlife and natural resources.
