national park. Since the public domain lands are a source of water, minerals, recreations, wildlife, etc., the Bureau of Land Management administers the public domain lands to facilitate and meet the needs of other agencies and the resource needs of the nation. The Bureau of Reclamation is interested in having the Bureau of Land Management administer the land to insure that there will be a continuous yield of water with a minimum of pollution by sedimentation, salinization, and flooding. The Geological Survey collects and publishes data on water uses and the effects that land management has upon the quantity and quality of water. The U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service cooperates with the Bureau to promote proper land and water management to insure the necessary environment for an abundance of healthy fish and wildlife. The Bureau of Mines is interested in the management of the lands in such a manner that mineral resources can be development consistent with other valuable land uses and management practices. The new Bureau of Outdoor Recreation is interested in assuring that full recreational potentials of the public lands are achieved. The Bureau of Land Management coordinates the various uses on the public lands to assure that the full use potentials are realized. This demands that there be continuous cooperation with local, country, state and Federal agencies and that multiple use management will be achieved to the greatest possible extent. 3Epson Perfection 4870 Photo, 400 dpi, 8 bit, 14,385,152 byte
