PREFACE 



This interview was made possible by a grant from Resources 

 for the Future, Inc., under which the Regional Oral History 

 Office of the Bancroft Library at the University of California at 

 Berkeley embarked on a series of interviews to trace the history 

 of policy in the U. S. Forest Service. Dr. Henry Vaux, Professor 

 of Forestry, University of California, Berkeley, is the Principal 

 Investigator of this project. Copies of the manuscripts are on 

 deposit in the Bancroft Library of the University of California at 

 Berkeley; also in the Department of Special Collections, UCLA. 

 Library; in the Forest History Society, Yale University; and in 

 the library of Resources for the Future, Washington, D. C. 



The Regional Oral History Office was established to tape 

 record autobiographical interviews with persons prominent in the 

 recent history of the West. The Office is under the administrative 

 supervision of the Director of the Bancroft Library.
