Dear
Friend,
For
over
50
years,
the
Land
and
Water
Conservation
Fund
(LWCF)
has
preserved
iconic
landscapes
in
Colorado
and
throughout
the
country.
A
program
that
is
at
the
heart
of
Colorado,
the
LWCF
is
supported
by
a
responsible
partnership
between
the
federal
government
and
private
enterprise
and
provides
funding
for
conservation
and
helps
to
ensure
public
access
to
the
outdoors.
In
September, authorization
for the
LWCF
expired despite
its
strong
bipartisan
support.
Throughout
this
Congress, I
have
repeatedly called
for
and
voted for
efforts
to
ensure
the
LWCF
remains
on
a stable
and
predictable
footing.
In
January,
I voted
to
permanently
reauthorize
the
program,
and
since
July, I have
voted
twice to
make
its
authorization
permanent
as
part
of
the
bipartisan
energy
bill and
the
Sportsmen’s
Act,
both approved
by
the
Senate
Energy
and
Natural
Resources Committee. In
September,
I
sent
a
letter to
Majority
Leader
McConnell
and
Minority
Leader
Reid
highlighting
the
program’s
importance
and
my
strong
support
for
it,
and
earlier
this
week
I
joined
my
colleagues
in
again
calling
for
LWCF’s
permanent
reauthorization.
Making
LWCF
permanent
is
commonsense
policy
supported
by
sportsmen,
hunters,
and
countless Coloradans
and
Americans
who
appreciate
our
nation’s
natural
beauty.
Rest
assured,
I’ll
continue
to
work
toward protecting
LWCF’s future with
my
colleagues
on
both
sides
of
the
aisle
and I look
forward
to
updating
you
on
this
issue
as
we
move
forward.
Sincerely,

Cory
Gardner
United
States
Senator
