[To accompany S. 1514]
[Including cost estimate of the Congressional Budget Office]
The Committee on Environment and Public Works, to which was
referred the bill (S. 1514) to amend certain Acts to reauthorize
those Acts and to increase protections for wildlife, and for other
purposes, having considered the same, reports favorably thereon
with an amendment in the nature of a substitute and recommends

GENERAL STATEMENT AND BACKGROUND
The Hunting Heritage and Environmental Preservation for Wild-
life Act is a comprehensive conservation bill. It promotes common
sense environmental regulation and enhanced recreational hunting
and sport fishing activities as important components for sustaining
wildlife and wildlife habitat. Recreational activities associated with
the great outdoors generate hundreds of billions of dollars annually
for the nation's economy while simultaneously creating millions of
jobs and substantial federal and state tax revenues. Further,
sportsmen and women across the United States rank among the
most avid environmentalists, contributing billions of dollars to-
wards conservation efforts in the form of licensing fees, taxes, and
voluntary contributions.
