days to sail and the girls gave up one day, of their own free will, to 

 do conservation work on the waterfront. 



This is the kind of thing that organizations need to do. As we 

 all go back to our communities, I hope every little Brownie will be 

 an antilitterbug, and every Girl Scout will join in some activity to 

 clean up the corner lot. 



SAM RIKLIN. We have been attempting a beautification effort for 

 a number of years in San Antonio and anyone who has visited our 

 city will see we have met quite a few challenges and have accom-

 of plan he needs to implement his land and water conservation.

Mr. CRAFTS. I don't think I can give you a definitive answer to 

 your question, because I don't know enough about what is coming up. 



The Wisconsin plan has not been submitted to us yet. I think 

 it will be a significant contribution, but it is certainly not the total 

 outdoor recreation plan which the statute requires. 



I might say, without taking anything away from what has been 

 done in Wisconsin, that there has been a great deal of mapping and 

 surveying work of various sorts in this land of ours, at various levels
