taxpayer dollars, to use our license dollars to go out and be the leaders in 

 the defense. You know, let's not give it up until it's obvious that there's 

 a beneficial use for all in giving it up. And let's analyze where we're at 

 and w^re looking to you to do that. 



Again, Fish, Widlife and Parks, we want you to alert the citizenry. 

 Education. There's a lot that has to be done on pursuing the reservation 

 system. . .what's going to happen to the reservation system. Fish, Wildlife 

 and Parks again has been a lot of our input to what's going on here. We 

 need you to inforce the stream-bed acts and the bank preservation as we 

 have it now and enhance that. We need it on the big streams and we need 

 it on the small streams, as I mentioned. We need alternatives to 

 dewatering. We have to get out and help agriculture in that one in a 

 ten-year low period, or two in ten years. . .three in ten years. Again, my 

 thanks to the rank and file. I'm not nearly as good, again, about reading 

 about the environmental things as I am reading about catching big ones. 

 Stocking programs maybe in the past have sold more licenses, but we're 

 beginning to realize where that fits into the scenario also and you people 

 here are our hope, as the ordinary person that reads your information or 

 takes of your services from government agencies to get the job done. 

 Thank you very much.
