Regional Director Baker writes to National Park Service Director Wirth to respond to an earlier memorandum from Acting Chief of Interpretation John E. Doerr. The earlier memo expressed concern over the scheduling of Regional Archaeologist Paul L. Beaubien, as he was moving from project to project without having enough time to finish any of them. Baker seeks to explain the reason for this, and gives an assessment of the priorities and costs relating to the Elkhorn Ranch project. A proposal is being developed for a fuller investigation of the Elkhorn Ranch site.
