Digitized from Box 33 of the White House Press Releases at the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
OCTOBER 19, 1976
Office of the White House Press Secretary
THE WHITE HOUSE
STATEMENT BY THE PRESIDENT
ON THE SIGNING OF H.R. 11455
Since its establishment almost a decade ago, the Indiana Dunes
National Seashore has provided a wide range of recreational opportunities
for people and an excellent habitat for plants and wildlife along the
southeastern shore of Lake Michigan.
Yet the Indiana Dunes has also been a point of controversy, because
many people recognized that in preserving the unique qualities of the
area, many lands nearby also needed protection.
I am pleased to sign into law special legislation that will expand the
acreage of Indiana Dunes by over one-third. This is a welcome
step in our efforts to increase the recreational opportunities and
improve the quality of life for the American people.
