The resolution also opposed a bill now in congress which would give the president of the United States power to create, by proc- lamation, national recreation areas which contain outstanding scenic or national features. Restricts Investigations Many possible sites for irrigation and power projects are within national parks and monuments, and cannot be Investigated by the state engineer, the state water storage commission or the U. S. Bureau of Reclamation, because of regulations of the department of the Interior, the resolution states. It points out that a comprehensive survey of possible power and water projects is now under way in the Colorado basin, and recommends that Governor Blood make an urgent request of President Roosevelt and the Secretary of the Interior, that no additional areas be created until completion of this investigation.
