<br />- - i}(J1['-;J3- - <br /> <br />In May of 1981, the Secretary of the Interior approved changing the <br />Water and Power Resources Service back to its former name, the <br />Bureau of Reclamation. <br /> <br />As the Nation's principal conservation agency, the Department of <br />the Interior has responsibility for most of our nationally owned <br />public lands and natural resources. This includes fostering the <br />wisest use of our land and water resources, protecting our fish and <br />wildlife, preserving the environmental and cultural values of our <br />national parks and historical places, and providing for the enjoy- <br />ment of life through outdoor recreation. The Department assesses <br />our energy and mineral resources and works to assure that their <br />development is in the best interests of all our people. The Depart- <br />ment also has a major responsibility for American Indian reserva- <br />tion communities and for people who live in Island Territories <br />under U.S. administration. <br /> <br />The information contained within this publication was developed <br />for the Bureau of Reclamation; no warranty as to the accuracy, <br />usefulness, or completeness is expressed or implied. <br />
