The area described in the attached report is eminently suitable for designation as "wilderness," and I recommend submission of legislation to incorporate it in the national wilderness preservation system. A draft of legislation to implement this proposal is attached.

Sincerely yours,

ORVILLE L. FREEMAN, Secretary.
