This is a section in the Congressional Record-Senate, where Senator Burdick explains why Theodore Roosevelt National Memorial Park should receive full park designation and be renamed the Theodore Roosevelt National Park. Burdick states that the memorial park status has resulted in inadequate recognition unfitting of the memory of Theodore Roosevelt. Burdick also includes a letter from Joseph Satrom, North Dakota travel director, discussing the use of the word “memorial” in the title of the park.
