AJR6,1,3 1Relating to: petitioning the U.S. Postal Service and the U.S. Congress to establish
2a 1st class postage stamp entitled "Game Warden" to honor our nation's
3conservation wardens, past and present.
AJR6,1,74 Whereas, conservation wardens were some of the earlier conservation officials
5appointed in the states, territories and other governmental units in the United
6States, and were empowered to enforce natural resource regulations and to protect
7the natural resources of this great country; and
AJR6,1,108 Whereas, since the beginning of this country, conservation wardens in the
9United States have provided an invaluable service by protecting and conserving our
10natural resources for all citizens, present and future; and
AJR6,1,1311 Whereas, in spite of limited authority and regulatory statutes, conservation
12wardens of this nation have shown great courage and have sacrificed their health,
13families and lives in the performance of their duties; and
AJR6,2,214 Whereas, conservation wardens have conscientiously performed their duties
15without always having safe, adequate equipment and without receiving pay

1comparable to other persons who enforce our laws or protect our natural resources;
2and
AJR6,2,53 Whereas, in the face of ridicule, adversity and apathy, conservation wardens
4have stood resolute against the uncontrolled use of our natural resources by
5promoting conservation awareness in the United States; and
AJR6,2,96 Whereas, conservation wardens showed the need for more scientific natural
7resources management practices, more efficient state and federal protective
8agencies and better regulation to protect the natural resources of our country and
9have helped to bring about those things; and
AJR6,2,1110 Whereas, the position of conservation warden has been a proud profession
11rather than just a job; and
AJR6,2,1312 Whereas, the state of Wisconsin, through its elected officials, has always
13supported its conservation wardens; now, therefore, be it
AJR6,2,18 14Resolved by the assembly, the senate concurring, That the members of the
15Wisconsin legislature request the U.S. Postal Service to establish a 1st class postage
16stamp entitled "Game Warden" that depicts a uniformed conservation warden to
17honor past and present conservation wardens for their unfailing, conscientious
18dedication to preserving the natural resources of this great country; and, be it further
AJR6,2,21 19Resolved, That the assembly chief clerk shall provide a copy of this joint
20resolution to Postmaster General William J. Henderson and to each member of this
21state's congressional delegation.
