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.
