Lyndon B. Johnson National Historical Park has a foundation document. All National Park Units developed these documents as part of the centennial of the National Park Service in 2016. This document is a formal statement of the park's core mission that will provide basic guidance for all planning and management decisions.
The Foundation Document reflects:
the legislated established purpose of the park
any special mandates or designations that the park has received
a description of the park's resources and values that are significant enough to warrant national park designation
the park's fundamental resources and values that are essential to achieving the purpose of the park and that are primary considerations during planning and management
other important resource values
the park's primary interpretive themes that are conveyed to visitors
The document also includes a list of key parkwide or major issues and associated planning and data needs.Two versions of the Foundation Document are available.
