THE PRESIDENT HAS SEEN
INDIANA DUNES
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. TODAY 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.
