On the recordNovember 4, 1997
As the author of H.R. 1856, I am pleased to present the House of Representatives the National Wildlife Refuge System Community Partnership Act. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has a very successful program to encourage volunteer activities at the national wildlife refuge and other service field stations. Last year, for example, over 25,000 volunteers donated nearly $11 million worth of services, ranging from staffing of visitor centers to hunter safety classes to operating heavy equipment. I introduced this bill after a field hearing at the Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge in my district in New Jersey that addressed a large number of maintenance backlog issues. Mr. Speaker, I urge an aye vote on H.R. 1856.
