The Montana Fish and Game Commission respecthilly submits its 

 biennial report for the period of May 1, 1964 through April 30, 1966. 



During the biennium the commission was drawn into the mainstream 

 of outdoor recreation with the additional responsibility of state parks 

 and as the official outdoor recreation administrative body for Montana. 

 Therefore, for the first time this document will report on various phases 

 of outdoor recreation not related with hunting and fishing. 



Legislative measures that we feel are desirable for the perpetuation 

 and management of Montana's outdoor recreation resources are briefly 

 outlined in the report. 



An accounting of income and expenditiues over the last biennium 

 has been included. 



Respectfully submitted, 



E. G. Leipheimer, Jr., Chairman, 

 Montana Fish and Game Commission 

 Lyie H. Tauck, Vice Chairman 

 John T. Hanson, Member 

 Walter E. Staves, Member 

 Robert H. Weintz, Member
