}
WHEREAS the Federal Government has heretofore approved
the acquisition of private: property which, when added to land to be
conveyed by the Federal Government and State of California, would
assure the completion of a 539000--acre Pt. Reyes National Seashore
in Marin County to be included in the National Pare Service, and
WHEREAS it has been reported that in visor of the fact
that no funds for purchase of the property were included in the
1968-1969 Budget of the Bureau of outdoor Recreation, there is a
possibility that the size and quality of the National Seashore
would be gravely diminished by the subdivision and sale to the
general public of that 2,500-acre tract of land known as Lake
Ranch, one of the most beautiful parcels in the entire area; and
WHEREAS the development of the Pt. Reyes National
Seashore is essential not only to the people of the State in
general, but to the residents of the Bay Area in particular as it
would provide much needed recreational facilities, and in addition
thereto should stop the desecration of the remaining open-space
areas within the State;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT BY THE BOARD of SUPERVISORS OF THE
COUNTY of CONTRA COSTA RESOLVED that it HEREBY SUPPORTS AND ENDORSES
the heretofore declared policy of the Marin County Board of Super--
visors, looking to the expeditious acquisition of property and the
concomitant completion of the 53,000--acre Pt. Reyes National
Seashore; and
BE IT BY THE BOARD FURTHER RESOLVED that it HEREBY URGES
the enactment of H.R. 3786, introduced in the Congress of the United
States by Representative Don Clausen and Representative William
Ma.illlard, which will increase the authorization for said Pt Reyes
National Seashore project; and
BE IT BY THE BOARD FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this
resolution be forwarded to Senator George Murphy and Senator Alan
Cranston and Congressman Jerome R. Waldie with the request that they
take all action consonant with the intent of this resolution..
