Assistant Secretary of the Interior Sweeney confirms receipt of the letter from Secretary of Agriculture Houston stating that officers of the Forest Service have been directed to continue maintaining the lands within the boundaries of the newly created Lassen Volcanic National Park until the Department of the Interior can assume their maintenance, and thanks him for the action taken in this matter. He hopes Congress will appropriate funds allowing the Department of the Interior to take control over the park before the present session adjourns.
