Governor Hickel agreed that the program for land acquisition and land set asides for recreation and wilderness purposes was far from complete. As a member of the Migratory Bird Conservation Commission. I asked him about the continuation of the accelerated program for the acquisition of about 31/2 million refugee acres. and he agreed that this program should go forward as rapidly as possible. Dave Brower. probably the leading and one of the most respected spokesmen for preservation of natural areas in America if one such spokesman could be designated. referred to some of the statements that Mr. Hickel had made as Governor and as a private individual relative to the Arctic Game Range.
