These proceedings present the edited and in some cases revised 

 transcript of the White House Conference on Natural Beauty, which 

 was held in Washington, B.C., May 24 and 25, 1965. Also in- 

 cluded in the volume are the action recommendations of the Con- 

 ference, President Johnson's address to the Congress of February 8, 

 1965, and a number of additional statements submitted for the rec- 

 ord by participants. 



The conference program consisted of two general sessions, 15 

 individual panel meetings, an open meeting of the Recreation Ad- 

 visory Council, and a final session addressed by President Johnson. 

 All meetings were held in the auditoriums of the State Department 

 and the Civil Service Commission except for the last, which was held 

 in the East Room of the White House. 



The conference was attended by some 800 delegates and an ad- 

 ditional number of observers. A single consolidated directory of 

 the delegates and other participants is presented in an appendix to 

 this volume.
