The letter from Mr. J.C. Dunham to Rep. Page Belcher in 1952 discusses concerns about fishing regulations at the Salt Plains National Wildlife Refuge. The Department of the Interior explains that the area is managed to protect wildlife, particularly waterfowl, and fishing is allowed within certain limits to prevent disturbance to the birds. The Department emphasizes the importance of maintaining these regulations to protect the national waterfowl resource. Rep. Belcher assures Mr. Dunham that he is looking into the issue and will provide further information once he receives a reply.
