FOREWORD

This is the third supplement to the publication Laws Relating to the National Park Service, first printed in 1933 and supplemented in 1944 and 1963.

This volume contains laws relating to the National Park Service enacted by the Congress between February, 1963, and December, 1972. Unlike Supplements I and II, laws relating to the National Capital Parks are included in this compilation.

Special thanks are due to Mrs. Jo Ann West, whose long hours of research in the library of the Department of the Interior made this supplement possible.
