Cassidy Chief of Engineers Corps of Engineers Department of the Army Dear General Cassidy: This is in reference to our draft report to the Congress entitled Review of the administration of recreation fees under the provisions of the Land and Water Conservation Fund Act of 1965 and the comments thereon from the Special Assistant (Civil Functions), Department of the Army dated January 13, 1969. The letter of January 13, 1969, stated that the suggestions in our draft report were appropriate, but pointed out that Public Law 90-483, approved August 13, 1968, prohibited collection of entrance fees at areas under jurisdiction of the Corps of Engineers. As we had indicated in our draft report, this prohibition was to be effective after March 31, 1970. Subsequent to the preparation of our draft report, the Corps terminated collection of fees, except for those areas where a user fee may be charged. This action was taken in response to the October 3, 1968, resolution of the Committee on Public Works of the House of Rep- resentatives which stated that the new policy on fees charged the public at Corps of Engineers' reservoirs established by Public Law 90- 483, should be implemented without further delay to assure immediate free access to these areas. Since the Corps' action in discontinuing collection of entrance or admission fees is already in effect for the 1969 recreation year, and since Public Law 90-483 provides that there will be no collection of such fees after March 31, 1970, we believe that certain of our suggestions pertaining to fee regulations for the recreation year beginning April 1, 1969, are no longer appropriate. Accordingly, we do not plan to issue the report to the Congress.
