Summer voyage ends amid land buyout debate near dam project
Two boys drift the Delaware River near Port Jervis on inner tubes as a boy vanishes briefly and resurfaces. The piece shifts to March and April planning for a multi purpose dam and Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area. Congressman Rooney cites 13 million potential savings if land is acquired within 18 months, urging a crash land acquisition plan and supplemental funding in 1972. The Sierra Club condemns the reservoir project yet supports recreational land purchase, criticizing the Corps of Engineers for haste and lack of objectivity.
