The Secretary OF Agriculture has
promulgated a set OF regulations for

vides that national forest land may be
leased for summer home sites and other
recreatioral purposes in tracts Of five
acres or less for periods not to exceed
thirty years, This law supplements
the revocablo permit system under
which recreatonRl use OF the forests
already had developed considerably.
Many users have been unwilling to
make substantial improvements be-
cause of the uncertainty of tenure in
