Historical note
The Public Land Law Review Commission reports are a gift from Mr. Sherry Fisher, who was a member of the Advisory Council of the Commission. He was born in Des Moines in 1907, attended Iowa State College for one year and was graduated from the University of Arizona in 1930. He then became associated with Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance Company, Des Moines. Mr. Fisher has long been active in conservation. He has served as Chairman of the Lewis and Clark Trail Commission, is a former member of the Iowa State Conservation Commission and was later chairman of the J.N. "Ding" Darling Foundation. He was vice president of the Governor's Committee on Conservation of Outdoor Resources and was named Iowa Conservationist of the year in 1970 by the National Wildlife Federation. The Public Land Law Review Commission was established by Congress on September 19, 1964, (P.L. 88-606) "to study existing laws and procedures relating to the administration of the public lands of the United States-" The Commission went beyond an intensive review of existing laws and launched a comprehensive examination of the public lands and their resources and uses. Following its organizational meeting July 14, 1965, the Commission functioned until December 1970 when its existence came to an end. Since then a series of regional meetings has been held for the purpose of conveying the importance of the public lands to the people and the potential significance of the Commission's final recommendations. |
Collection description
The collection consists of twenty-nine boxes of reports and supplementary materials concerned with the history, laws and policies, resources, land uses and economics of the public lands as well as their administration, management and future use. The supplementary material is made up of comments of various private interests, state interests and individual consultants concerning the reports of the Commission. Also included are reports on the regional conferences held on final recommendations of the Public Land Law Review Commission. |
