SJ Res. 105 and HJ Res. 479 - Golden Eagle Protection. These bills would give 
protection to the Golden Eagle. The Bald Eagle Act of 1940 failed to protect the 
Golden Eagle. They are still being killed in great numbers along with the Bald 
Eagle and the feathers used for commercial purposes. The wings and feathers are 
retailed by mail order. Many are sold to the tourist trade as Indian feathers. 
The two birds cannot be distinguished until the Bald Bagle reaches its fourth year. 
There are less than 5000 Bald Eagles left, 
Rainbow Bridge National Monument. When Congress passed the Upper Colorado 
Storage Project of 1956, it directed the Secretary of Intcrior to protect this 
mammoth natural bridge from destruction by water rising from the new Glen Canyon 
Dam. This protection is needed to prevent formation of a pool of water at the 
bottom of the Monument. Park enthusiasts feel the rising water would ruin tho 
Monument. Further, it is a precedent in that a long protected natural arch would 
be despoiled and the way paved for further encroachments of our National Park 
system. The National Park Association urges that the Congress and Secrctary of 
Interior provide protection to the arch by a barrier dam. The Monument has only 
16 acres but may be extended to over 300,000 acres. It is now reached by a 
fourteen-mile horse trail. The Monument was given Federal protective status in 
1910.
