TESTIMONY OF FRED WRIGHT 

 REPRESENTING THE NEVADA WILDLIFE FEDERATION, INC. 

 ON S. 59 (THE NEVADA NATIONAL FORESTS AND PUBLIC LANDS ENHANCEMENT 



ACT OF 1987) 

 TO THE SUBCOMMITTEE ON PUBLIC LANDS AND FORESTS IN 

 THE SENATE COMMITTEE ON ENERGY AND NATURAL RESOURCES 

 JUNE 30, 1987 



Good afternoon. My name is Fred Wright and I'm the Legislative 

 and Issues Representative of the Nevada Wildlife Federation. The 

 Nevada Wildlife Federation is the largest conservation organization in 

 Nevada representing some 1,500 sportsmen and conservationists and 25 

 sportsmen's organizations. We are also the official state affiliate of 

 the National Wildlife Federation. 



The Nevada Wildlife Federation is in support of the National 

 Forest and Public Lands of Nevada Enhancement Act of 1987, as is 

 evidenced by the passage of Resolution 14 on January 31, 1987, at 

 our annual meeting in Las Vegas. However, our support of the Act has 

 several exceptions. One of those exceptions deals with reserved water, 

 which we understand caused Congressional objection to the 1986 

 Enhancement Act.
