Presentation Abstract... Enlarging GCNP; A Participant's Look at the 1972-75 Legislative History, Its Foundations and Aftermath:   Ingram, one of the lobbyists working to enlarge the GCNP, will first sketch the preliminary maneuvers to stake out positions & goals for changing the Park/Monument boundaries. This will include actors such as the NPS, Sen. Goldwater & Case, Rep. Saylor, the Sierra Club, & the Havasupai in the years 1966-72. The main presentation will focus on the effort to add significant areas to the Park from Nov 1972 through the Enlargement Act's signing in Jan 1975. This will be done through a combination of recorded personal experiences and other, documentary & secondary, sources. The events covered will be the preliminary Goldwater meetings to gain a unified view, the Goldwater bill, reaction to that bill & Senate hearings, Senate fight over deleting lands then in GCN Monument, the Udall initiative to make significant additions of north side lands, its success in the House Parks subcommittee, a summary of the successful Havasupai effort to enlarge their reservation, committee and floor action in the House, the conference committee and Presidential approval. An analysis will summarize how the Act's provisions have, or have not, been carried out in the past 30 years. The presentation will conclude with a survey of more recent & potential boundary changes.
