“I am pleased to present this resolution, introduced by the gentleman from Alaska (Mr. Young) and the gentleman from Michigan (Mr. Dingell), which recognizes the International Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies for the dedicated service that they have rendered over the past 100 years and the invaluable contributions they have made to fish and wildlife management. This month they will celebrate their 100th anniversary, and it is appropriate to reflect upon the fine work that our State fish and wildlife agencies perform on a daily basis. This organization has played a key role in conserving and managing thousands of fish and wildlife species and their essential habitats throughout the United States. This resolution recognizes the importance of the centennial establishment of this organization, acknowledges the outstanding contributions of its member agencies to conservation, and requests the President to issue a proclamation commemorating its 100th anniversary. This is a good resolution, it is bipartisan, it should be noncontroversial; and I urge its adoption.”
