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.

OUTDOOR RECREATION RESOURCES REVIEW COMMISSION

The Outdoor Recreation Resources Review Commission was created by the Act of June 28, 1958 (Public Law 85-470, 72 Stat. 238). The task assigned to the Commission was to seek answers to the following basic questions:

What are the recreation wants and needs of the American people now and what will they be in the years 1976 and 2000?

What are the recreation resources of the Nation available to fill those needs?

What policies and programs should be recommended to insure that the needs of the present and future are adequately and efficiently met?

The Commission's report, Outdoor Recreation for America, which was presented to the President and to the Congress on January 31, 1962, contains the findings of the Commission and its recommendations for action required to meet the Nation's outdoor recreation needs in 1976 and 2000.

In the course of its work, the Commission obtained many special reports from its own staff, public agencies, universities, nonprofit research organizations, and individual authorities. It is publishing these reports because of their potential interest to officials at all levels of Government and to others who may wish to pursue the subject further. A descriptive list of the study reports appears at the end of this volume.

In the development of the findings, conclusions, and recommendations presented to the President and to the Congress in January 1962, the Commission considered this report and other study reports, but its conclusions were based on the entire study and on its own judgment. Publication of the study reports does not necessarily imply endorsement of them in whole or in part.
