FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
FEBRUARY 10, 1976
Office of the White House Press Secretary
THE WHITE HOUSE
TO THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES:
I am pleased to transmit this report on Little Beaver
Creek, Ohio. The report was prepared in response to the
provisions of the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act, Public
Law 90-542, as amended.
This study found that 33 miles of the Little Beaver
and its tributaries meet the criteria for inclusion in
the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System, and recommended
this stretch of the river be included in the National System
under the administration of the State of Ohio as identified
by Section 2 (a) (ii) of the Act.
The State of Ohio filed an application requesting that
this segment of the Little Beaver be included as a State-
administered component of the National System. On October 23,
1975, Secretary Kleppe approved the application of the State
of Ohio and so informed Governor Rhodes. The Congress is not
required to take action in order for Little Beaver Creek to
become a component of the Wild and Scenic Rivers system.
I am pleased that the Congress, in establishing this
program, has made provision for the State administration of
Wild and Scenic River components. This report and its
recommendations demonstrate the capability of both Federal
and State governments to profitably cooperate with each
other.
GERALD R. FORD
THE WHITE HOUSE,
FEBRUARY 10, 1976
