Assistant to Senator Chic Hecht of Nevada 

 302 Hart Senate Office Building 

 Washington, D.C. 20510 



Dear Mr. Cameron, 



Please find submitted herewith the proposed amendments and 

 addenda prepared at your request by the Nevada Outdoor Recreation 

 Association pertaining to Senate Bill 59, titled the "National 

 Forests and Public Lands of Nevada Enhancement Act of 1987". 



We submit our suggestions in this form not to presume upon 

 the prerogatives of the Senator, but rather in a spirit of 

 cooperation. Should any of our suggestions be acceptable to the 

 Senator, we hope that the submitted format may be of some use. We 

 apologize in advance for the long dissertations on meets and 

 bounds, but that is the only way to truly describe the areas 

 under consideration. It also seems to us that good tight 

 descriptions, like Vermont stone fences, make for better 

 neighbors, and better management. 



Finally, you may note that the road numbers submitted in the 

 proposal are those of BLM maps as follows: Wilderness Status Map 

 (June 1986), Public Lands Guide, Las Vegas District Nevada 

 (undated but latest version available) , and Surface Management 

 Status Maps (scale l:100,000)for the Smith Valley Quadrangle 

 (1978) and Carson City Quadrangle (1975). You should be advised 

 that the State of Nevada has changed a number of route numbers, 

 and at least the following have been affected: #3 has become 

 #208; #31 has become #359; #16 has become #160; the northern 

 portion of #39 in the Desert View Natural Area has become #156; 

 and the southern portion of #39 in Kyle Canyon has become #157. 



We are grateful for the opportunity to be of assistance, and 

 hope you find our suggestions acceptable. If we can add any 

 clarification or be of any further assistance, please feel free 

 to contact us. 



Sincerely, 



Charles S. Watson, Jr.
