Report From The Save-the-Dunes-Council 
“The Indiana Dunes are to the Midwest what the Grand Canyon 
is to Arizona and Yosemite is to California; once lost, their 
loss would be irrevocable.” — Poet Carl Sandburg 
The House of Representatives will be considering shortly, House Bill H.R. 
No. 51, sponsored by Congressman J. Edward Roush, to establish an Indiana 
Dunes National Lakeshore. A matching bill has already passed the Senate, 
and upon passage of the Roush bill in the House, it will be signed into 
law by the President. This last step is all that is left to make the 50-year 
old dream to save the dunes a reality. 
Two key sections of invaluable recreational, scientific and scenic value 
have been excluded from the proposed Dunes Lakeshore during committee 
hearings. These sections, known as West Beach and Burns Bog units, 
comprise less than 10% of the Lakeshore area, but according to National 
Park Service estimates, they will accommodate over 80% of the visitors. 
Congressman Roush has vowed to restore these units to his bill. His col- 
leagues, Congressman Udall of Arizona and Saylor of Pennsylvania, will 
introduce an amendment on the floor of the House to reintroduce West 
Beach and Burns’ Bog units in the Dunes Lakeshore. 
As a favor to your children and generations of future Americans, I 
ask you to write immediately to your own congressman, urging him to 
support the Indiana Dunes bill (H.R. 51) and the Roush-Saylor-Udall 
ammendment. If you do not know your congressman’s name, call your local 
paper or radio station. Address simply: Honorable ........... , Member of 
Congress, House Office Building, Washington, D.C.
