As the Nation's principal conservation agency, the Depart- 

 ment of the Interior has basic responsibilities for water, 

 fish, wildlife, mineral, land, park, and recreational resources. 

 Indian and Territorial affairs are other major concerns of 

 America's "Department of Natural Resources." 



The Department works to assure the wisest choice in 

 managing all our resources so each will make its full contri- 

 bution to a better United States — now and in the future.
