Hagedorn reminisces about Roosevelt’s character and hopes that visitors to this historic home will understand what made Roosevelt great and take that lesson to heart.

Senator Burdick from North Dakota prefaces and reprints an article by Steve Schmidt, originally published in the Bismarck Tribune, in the “Senate” section of the Congressional Record. The article argues for the change in designation of Theodore Roosevelt National Memorial Park to Theodore Roosevelt National Park, and also a change from the park’s classification as “historical” to “natural.” Both Burdick’s preface and Schmidt’s article provide “background leading to the introduction of S. 1609,” Burdick’s congressional bill to make the site a full-fledged national park, which would ultimately occur in 1978.
