THE WHITE HOUSE
ENLARGING THE BOUNDARIES OF THE
CABRILLO NATIONAL MONUMENT, CALIFORNIA
BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
A PROCLAMATION
The Cabrillo National Monument in San Diego County,
California, was established by Proclamation No. 1255 of
October 14, 1913 (38 Stat. 1965), on approximately one-half
acre of land that, along with other lands, had originally
been set aside for military purposes in 1852. The monument
was enlarged by Proclamation No. 3273 of February 2, 1959,
and now is situated on approximately eighty and one-half
acres of land. The present area of the monument is not
adequate for the proper care and management of the
historical landmarks and historical objects in the area
and it has been determined that approximately fifty-six
and six-tenths acres of land should be added to the monu-
ment site. That new land is contiguous to the monument
site and constitutes a part of the lands set aside but no
longer needed for military purposes.
The additional land is essential to the proper care
and management of the historical landmarks and historical
objects in the area, and it is in the public interest to
redefine the boundaries of, and add those contiguous lands
to the monument to preserve the historical landmarks and
historical objects of the area.
Under section 2 of the act of June 8, 1906 (34 Stat.
225, 16 U.S.C. 431), the President is authorized "to declare
by public proclamation historic landmarks, historic and
prehistoric structures, and objects of historic or scientific
interest that are situated upon the lands owned or controlled
by the Government of the United States to be national monuments,
and may reserve as a part thereof parcels of land, the limits
of which in all cases shall be confined to the smallest area
compatible with the proper care and management of the ob-
jects to be protected. The monument, as enlarged by this
Proclamation, will be confined to the smallest area com-
patible with the protection and management of the objects
to be protected.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, GERALD R. FORD, President of the
United States of America, under and by virtue of the
authority vested in me by section 2 of the act of Congress
approved June 8, 1906, 34 Stat. 225 (16 U.S.C. 431), do
hereby proclaim that, subject to valid existing rights,
the lands owned or controlled by the United States within
the following described lands are hereby added to and made
a part of the Cabrillo National Monument:
