<br />002~51 <br /> <br />KANSA~ <br /> <br />Kansas has no legislatively authorized natural rivers program at this time. <br />Action to date has consisted of the introduction of some bills in the <br />Legislature to create some recreational river corridors. <br /> <br />Currently there is a study of the Kansas River being done by the Her~tage <br />Conservation and Recreation Service as a basis for its possible inclusion in the <br />~ National System as a Recreational River, although it is not legislatively <br />authorized by the Congress as a study river, The study is being done as part of <br />a special Corps of Engineers study of the Kansas River drainag,e basin. <br /> <br />The ileritage Conservaton and Recreation Service is now reorganized and <br />incorporated in the National Park Service. <br /> <br />CONTACT: Lynn Burris,Jr.,Director <br />Kansas Park and Resources Authority <br />503 I~nsas Avenue <br />PO Box 977 <br />Topeka, KS 66601 <br />(913) 296-2281 <br /> <br />BII!LIOGRAPHY <br /> <br />1.
