FOREWORD

This is the sixth supplement to the publication, Laws Relating to the National Park Service, first printed in 1933 and supplemented in 1944, 1963, 1972, 1978, and 1999.

This volume contains laws relating to the National Park Service enacted by the 99th, 100th, and 101st Congresses between January 1985 and December 1990. Similar to the volume covering the 95-97th Congresses, the text of each public law is the same version used in the United States Statutes at Large (Statutes at Large).

In compiling this volume, we scanned copies of the public laws into a computer and reformatted the text to fit the size requirements for the page and to exclude extraneous material. A line of stars in the text denotes omitted material. Using these processes, which are technologically imperfect, we have made every effort to have as complete and accurate a text as possible. We encourage you to recheck the Statutes at Large if you have any doubt about the official text of any law.

We express our appreciation to the National Park Foundation for providing funding to complete this publication. We also commend Beverly Davenport for her devotion to this project. She has produced an excellent volume that will be useful for many years to come.
