As the Nation's principal conservation agency, the Depart- 

 ment of the Interior has basic responsibilities for water, fish, 

 wildlife, mineral, land, park, and recreational resources. Indian 

 and Territorial affairs are other major concerns of America's 

 "Department of Natural Resources." 



The Department works to assure the wisest choice in managing 

 all our resources so each will make its full contribution to a 

 better United States — now and in the future.
