North Dakota--McKenzie County

Letter from Rogers C. B. Morton to Richard M. Nixon

Secretary of the Interior Morton makes formal recommendations to President Nixon to preserve land for Theodore Roosevelt National Park. After making a review of the land, Morton believes preserving this land will fulfill the ecological and environmental imperative pursued by the Department of the Interior. Certain areas without roads are further designated for conservation. Morton also notes the inclusion of a report from the National Park Service, a draft bill incorporating the above stated areas, and a draft environmental impact statement with the letter.
