SB_650_ NUMBER OF THE NEW SAVE-THE-DUNES BILL 
On February 4, Senator Paul H. Douglas introduced this bill with 18 co-sponsors ,14 
more than last year. It provides for 4 9000-acre Indiana National Lakeshore. On 
the same day Pennsylvania's Congressman John Saylor introduced a companion bill 
(HB-3344) into the House of Representatives. Saylor is senior Republican member of 
the House Interior Committee and one of America's most dedicated conservationists 
in public life. We urge EVERY SAVE-THE-DUNES MEMBER to write Congressman John 
Saylor (House Office Building, Washington, D.C.) expressing praise and deep 
appreciation for his help. Write even though you are not a member, 
Backed by all leading conservation organizations, eiminent scientists, the 
United Steel Workers of America, and other powerful groups, the bills now have a 
strong national support. Never before have the Dunes been closer to being saved!! 
But there is a long road ahead and this is no time to rest on our laurels. ‘rite 
the President, get your fricnds to write. Stories that Bethlehem Steel Company has 
begun construction are circulating widely and have even reached the White House. 
These stories are out-and-out lies initiated by our opposition. No actual construc- 
tion has begun and the dunes leveling thus far is very minor. Tell the President 
so, President John F, Kennedy, The White House, Washington, D.C. --Save-the-Dunes
