longtime director of Fish and
Wildlife Service in Alaska, has
been received from Secretary of
the Interior Fred Seaton by A.

Rhode was lost last year during

In his letter Seaton said: “We

the Alaska fish and wildlife de
velopment work, with the estab

Seaton added that he hoped le
gislation for establishment of the
range will be ready for presen
tation to Congress soon.
