On January 28, 1985, <br /> President Reagan established the President's Commission on Americans Outdoors <br /> (PCAO) for the purpose of studying the quantity and quality of recreation <br /> opportunities in the nation and to determine how the nation will deal with <br /> recreation issues in the year 2000. The Commission on Minnesotans Outdoors <br /> • <br /> (COMO) was established by Lt. Governor Marlene Johnson to provide information to <br /> PCAO by answering the questions: 1 ) In 2000, what will Minnesotans want to do <br /> outdoors? and 2) How can we be sure they have the appropriate places to do it? <br /> The MRPA Legislative Committee applauds the efforts of these two commissions <br /> because they help focus attention on important recreation issues and because <br /> they are inviting everyone with an interest in recreation to testify or submit r <br /> written testimony. Private individuals, local governments, and a variety of a, <br /> interest groups have been given the best opportunity to affect federal and state <br /> recreation policy in over 20 years! <br /> As a recent recipient of local LAWCON/LCMR grant dollars, you probably recognize <br /> the value of federal and state recreation facility financial assistance. If <br /> this is the case, it is important that you notify COMO of your opinions. There <br /> it• <br /> are two ways to do this. The first is to testify at one of the remaining three <br /> COMO public hearings. These hearings are: <br /> Date Location Time <br /> 0 <br /> v n <br /> 4-02-86 Moorhead City Ha11,500CenterA e ue 4:00 - 7:00 p.m. <br /> Moorhead, Minnesota 56560 <br /> • <br /> 4-16-86 Earle Brown Center, University of Minnesota 4:00 - 7:00 p.m. <br /> • 1890 Buford Avenue, St. Paul 55108 <br /> Minnesota Recreation and Park Association • P.O.
