o o OO CM 60 PS •H U Ph en A publication of the Wildlife Diversity Program ♦ Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation .S. Senators and Congressmen Take a Stand For Wildlife "I am a firm supporter of preventative care for wildlife... State Wildlife Grants is smart environmentally and economically." - Congressman Carson Sens. James Inhofe and Don Nickles, along with Reps. Tom Cole and Brad Carson, are among 160 senators and congressmen taking a stand for the nation's wildlife. These Oklahoma Congressmen support the continuation of the State Wildlife Grants program into 2005. Sens. Inhofe and Nickles support the President's budget proposal of $80 million for State Wildlife Grants. The President's budget is a $10 million increase above last year's funding. "I feel this program is a valuable investment in prevention," Senator Inhofe said. "It saves our citizens money and the frustration of litigation often invoked by regulatory programs." One-quarter of the House and over half of the Senate support a larger funding increase. Reps. Cole and Carson were among a bipartisan group of 52 senators and 111 repre sentatives that signed letters to key congressional leaders urging $100 million for the program. "I am a firm supporter of preventative care for wildlife," Congressman Carson said. "We can save taxpayers millions of dollars by intervening when species are in decline, instead of waiting for situations to become dire. State Wildlife Grants is smart environmentally and economically." Created by Congress in 2001, the State Wildlife Grants program is the nation's core program for preventing wildlife from becoming endangered in every state. A funding-match requirement leverages federal funding from state and private sources, often doubling the impact of every dollar of federal funding.
