states into a giant national play

report, signed by Harcourt A. Nor
gan, chairman called attention to
the fact that TWAS lake had sup
piled the region with "the one ele-
ment which nature omitted from an
otherwise lavish r~ecreational en-
dowment."
Morgan said in a letter to the
President that the IVA act of 1888
authorized a study of the region
from a ~recreational viewpoint but
that the IVA board still lacked
power to carry out it's own recon-
mendation. He suggested that con-
gress grant IVA this additional
power.
Should include authority to con.
struct and to operate recreation
facilities on property acquired in
connection with the primary pur-
poses of the water control program;
to utilize the work relief resources
of such agencies as the NYA, WPA,
and CCC in carrying out the fund
amental program; and, at least dur
ing a trial period in which manage
ment problems and public demand
can be more fully explored, to op-
crate recreation facilities developed
under the program, either directly
or through a system of carefully
supervised concessions"
