As the Nation's principal conservation agency, the Department of 

 the Interior has responsibility for most of our nationally owned 

 public lands and natural resources. This includes fostering the 

 wisest use of our land and water resources, protecting our fish 

 and wildlife, preserving the environmental and cultural values of our 

 national parks and historical places, and providing for the enjoy- 

 ment of life through outdoor recreation. The Department assesses 

 our energy and mineral resources and works to assure that their 

 development is in the best interests of all our people. The Depart- 

 ment also has a major responsibility for American Indian reservation 

 communities and for people who live in island territories under U.S. 

 administration.
