Senator Ribicoff introduced a four state Connecticut River national recreation area measure. Co sponsors include Dodd and senators from New Hampshire and Massachusetts with Aiken and Winston helping due to Vermont objections. The plan envisions land purchases total 46 million dollars and units in Connecticut Massachusetts and a Coos scenic river unit between Moore Reservoir and Lake Francis.
