to belioNc, improve our economy and the industry that supports it. If the future 

 mirrors the past sales will increase accordingly. 



In summary, the National Wild Turkey Federation and I wholeheartedly 

 support the Teaming With Wildlife Initiative. Quite frankly, we cannot afford to 

 let this opportunity slip by. Our state fish and wildlife resource agencies are in 

 dire straights to secure fijnding to carry out these important programs that the 

 general public expects and what we as responsible stewards feel obligated to pass 

 on to future generations. This is the only way to accomplish the objective. It is fair 

 to the public, the industry and ultimately the fish and wildlife of this country. It's 

 the right thing to do at the right time. 



The legacy we leave for those who follow us is a rich heritage of natural 

 resources. Help us make 1996 another milestone year as was 1937 and 1950 as we 

 assure our children's children a bright future in the out-of-doors. Anything less is 

 not acceptable. 



Thank you for allowing me to comment, and I will be glad to address any
