<br />The proposal is to formalize
<br />through legislation; the 1965
<br />agreement with the Bureau of
<br />Reclamation and the National Park
<br />Service which vested the NPS with
<br />management of the NRA. The action
<br />would also replace a similar 1966 i
<br />agreement between the NPS Rnd Fores~
<br />Service for Gunnison National Foresd
<br />lands within the NRA. The bill
<br />would affirm the NHA boundaries and
<br />recreational purposes of this
<br />,
<br />40,124 acre area. The proposal
<br />would bring the NRA into the NPS.
