Approved, June 6^ 1924. 



Following the passage of the above act, the need for the two fishery 

 reservations created in 1922 ceased to exist. The Executive orders of 

 February 17 and November 3, 1922, which created the Alaska Penin- 

 sula Fisheries Keservation and the Southwestern Alaska Fisheries 

 Reservation, respectively, were therefore revoked by Executive 

 orders dated June 7, 1924. These orders are as follows: 



EXECUTIVE ORDER 



Whereas on the 17th day of February, 1922, an Executive order was pro- 

 mulgated creating the Alaska Peninsula Fisheries Reservation to insure the pro- 

 tection of the fisheries in the waters therefore; and 



Whereas the act of Congress of June 6, 1924, entitled "An Act for the Pro- 

 tection of the Fisheries of Alaska and for other Purposes," provides for the pro- 

 tection and administration of the fisheries in all Alaskan waters, and the Executive 

 reservation aforesaid has therefore become unnecessary; 



Therefore the said Executive order of February 17, 1922, creating the Alaska 

 Peninsula Fisheries Reservation is hereby revoked. 



This revocation shall not affect the Executive order of March 3, 1913, creating 

 the Aleutian Islands Reservation, which shall remain in full force and effect.
