OUTDOOR RECREATION FOR AMERICA

The Report of the Outdoor Recreation Resources Review Commission
to the President and the Congress

This report surveys our country's outdoor recreation resources, measures present and likely demands upon them over the next 40 years, and recommends actions to insure their availability to all Americans of present and future generations.

The first part of the 246-page volume reviews the place of outdoor recreation in American life, drawing largely on the finding of the Commission's expert studies. It describes the supply of recreation resources, the demand for recreation, the economics of recreation, and the problems of relating all three to assure present and future generations of the outdoor recreation opportunities they require. The second part contains recommendations for programs and policies, with chapters concerning the responsibilities of the Federal Government, the States, local government, and private enterprise. There are chapters on special problems of management, financing, water, and research. The report is for sale by the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington 25, D.C., for $2.
