Land and Water Conservation Fund Act amendments. Hearing before the Subcommittee on Public Lands, National Parks and Forests of the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, United States Senate, One Hundredth Congress, First Session on S. 725, July 14, 1987
This hearing was on S. 735, which would create a special account within the Land and Water Conservation Fund, established by a 1965 Act. This account would have two funding sources: a portion, 25%, of the revenues due the US from future oil and gas leasing activities in units of the National Wildlife Refuge System; and $160 million annual withdrawal from the authorized but unappropriated balance of the Land and Water Conservation Fund - a balance that now totals some $5.34 billion. Monies credited into this special account would be made available for high-priority federal land-acquisition projects. In additional to statements from 5 US Senators, testimonies were taken from the US Assistant Secretary of Agriculture, the executive vice president, International Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies, US Assistant Secretary of Interior for Fish and Wildlife and Parks, and 6 other officials from wildlife, recreation, parks conservation, etc. groups. Material submitted for the record included brief statements from the Wilderness Society, American Recreation Coalition, Western Governor's Association, and National Wildlife Federation.
