tion that general recreational areas will be wholly the responsibility 

 of the Forest Service. 



The withdrawal and vacation of public-service sites will be a func- 

 tion of the Forest Service. 



The Forest Service will be responsible for the location and con- 

 struction of trails, portages, shelter cabins, and other improvements 

 of value for the hunting, protection, or observation of bears. 



During the active salmon-spawning period, when the bears are con- 

 gregated on the salmon streams, the commission will maintain a 

 launch patrol around the island to afford extra protection to the 

 animals. The Forest Service will make a special effort to supple- 

 ment this intensive protective work of the commission. Forest 

 Service launches will patrol the shore line in connection with their 

 regular work, and forest officers in their capacity of game wardens 

 will enforce the regulations. If circumstances cause an unavoidable 

 interruption in the commission's patrol work at this period the 

 Forest Service will endeavor to carry it on until the interruption is 

 terminated. All Forest Service officers working in the brown-bear 

 region will hold appointments as game wardens of the Alaska Game 

 Commission.
