Byrd Hayden amendment kept in National Recovery bill
Washington notes that the Byrd Hayden amendment directing 50 million dollars for roads and national parks stays in the conference report.

Senator Byrd informs Governor Pollard and Virginia Conservation Commission chair Carson of the retained amendment and urges an immediate Virginia program to secure funds and park transfers.
