Specifically, you requested that we provide: --A description of the National Park Service's and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' general responsibilities for managing recreation areas. --A comparison of the fiscal year 1983 operations and maintenance budget cuts the Corps made in its recreation activities to those it made in other operations and maintenance activities., --Information on the Corps' decision to close three recreation areas at Raystown Lake. --Information on the Corps' procedures for awarding recreation-related contracts at Raystown Lake. The Park Service manages recreation areas of national sig- nificance to preserve them for use by future generations. The Corps manages recreation areas more local or regional in nature that have been developed around water projects it operates for flood control, navigation, and/or water supply purposes. Both the Park Service and the Corps have reduced the amount of recreation services at their facilities as a way of reducing their fiscal year 1983 operations and maintenance costs. While the Corps' total operations and maintenance budget increased about 14 percent in fiscal year 1983, the recreation portion decreased about 7.6 percent. The only other functions that were reduced were navigation operations, studies related to operations, (085649)
