From the CIC Homepage In August 2007, President Bush issued an Executive Order to all federal agencies of the U.S. Government recognizing the important role of hunting to the American way of life and to the conservation of wildlife and habitat. The Order directs all related federal agencies to develop a 10-year plan to promote and facilitate hunting. Furthermore, the President directs that an extensive conference is to be held with all related federal agencies and stakeholders to implement the Executive Order. The origin of this Order dates back to 1995 when U.S. President Clinton issued an Executive Order recognizing the important recreational role of sportfishing and ordered that a plan be devised to promote recreational fishing. Left out, leaders of the American hunting community began lobbying Congress and the President for similar recognition and support for the hunting community of America. The lobbying continued when President Bush took office and the initiative was reinforced at periodic forums. One such forum was the Governor's Hunting Heritage Conferences where Governors of different states, including the Premier of one Canadian province, held an issue-oriented meeting of American hunting leaders. The second forum was the development of the American Wildlife Conservation Partners (AWCP), made up of a select 42 of America's leading sportsmen's conservation organizations. Two CIC member organizations and several partners have been prominent participants in both the Governor's Hunting Heritage Conferences, last held in Dallas, Texas, and the AWCP. They are Conservation Force and Dallas Safari Club. Through combining forces, the collaborative influence of the AWCP ultimately succeeded in getting President Bush to do for the hunters what President Clinton had done for the fisherman twelve years earlier. This Executive Order goes beyond the general feel-good order for anglers. It also follows in the wake of the worldwide acceptance of sustainable use by IUCN at its World Congresses, the CBD and CITES. The following is the full text of the Executive Order that others may find useful as a model. It most certainly is full acknowledgment for all to know of the recreational and conservation importance of hunting. Seloushunter Nec Timor Nec Temeritas | ||

He is tough to figure out......exec order in August, and now in January his Justice (for whom) dept. is getting into the Washington DC gun case before the Supremes and not 100% on our side. If they serve at his pleasure, it would have been my pleasure to give them a pink slip. What a world....90% and 10% "When you play, play hard; when you work, don't play at all."
