I agree.United States of America Congressional Record PROCEEDINGS AND DEBATES OF THE 100th CONGRESS, FIRST SESSION Vol. 133_WASHINGTON, TUESDAY, JUNE 30, 1987_No. 109 Senate ALLENS RECEIVE PRESIDENT'S AWARD ? Mr. HECHT. Mr. President, I am pleased to recognize and announce the outstanding accomplishments in volunteer wildlife conservation of two outstanding Nevadans, Wilford and Penny Allen. Because of its accomplishments, their group, the Fraternity of the Desert Bighorn, will be recipients of the prestigious President's Volunteer Action Award. This award was established in 1982 and this is the first time that citizens of the State of Nevada have been its recipients. The award is given to leading volunteer groups which are dedicated to excellence and public service. The Aliens have been instrumental in guiding the fraternity's construction of 21 water supplies for desert bighorn sheep. The desert bighorn sheep is a majestic animal and highly prized by sportsmen. The fraternity has raised over 50,000 dollars' worth of labor, materials and cash donations which were used in four Nevada Bureau of Land Management districts. As a result of their efforts, Nevada is one of the few Western States with a thriving desert bighorn population. It is with great pride that I congratulate the Aliens for their accomplishments, and their contributions to Nevada, our Nation, and wildlife conservation. They truly embody the diligence and desire that this award was established to recognize.* United States ?/ America
