Kennedy proposes land purchase program to expand recreation
President Kennedy urged Congress to create a land conservation fund with up to 1 billion dollars over eight years to acquire outdoor recreation areas. Funding would come from user fees, reallocated motorboat fuel rebates, and surplus land sales while Treasury advances up to 500 million could be used in the interim. The plan stems from the Outdoor Recreation Resources Review Commission and includes grants for states, urban open spaces, and wilderness preservation.
