Office of the White House Press Secretary
NOTICE TO THE PRESS
The President has signed H. J. Res. 444, Use of Lands in
Sequoia National Park by a power project -- which authorizes
the continued use of certain lands within the Sequoia National
Park by portions of an existing hydroelectric project.
Under a 1921 law, the use of national park lands for power
projects is prohibited without the specific approval of Congress.
The hydroelectric power project which is the subject of H.J.
Res. 444 was constructed in 1913, however, prior to the
enactment of the current restriction.
H.J. Res. 444 will authorize the Secretary of the Interior
to issue a permit for the continued operation of those portions
of the power project within the Sequoia National Park. The
term of the permit will extend for the period of any existing
or future licenses granted by the Federal Power Commission
for those portions of the project not located within the Park,
but in no event, will the term of the permit extend beyond 10
years from the date of its issuance unless specifically authorized
by law.
The President has signed S. 1561 - Rename Mansfield Like
Project, Indiana -- which renames the lake created by the
Mansfield Lake Project as the "Cecil M. Harden Lake. 11
Cecil M. Harden served as a Congresswoman from 1949
to 1959. During this period, she co-sponsored legislation
authorizing the Mansfield Lake Project and has been in public
service for 40 years.
