As the Nation's principal conservation 

 agency, the Department 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 contribution to a better 

 United States — now and in the future.
