National Historic Landmark Theme Study and the working draft Special 
Resource Study
--Committee finalizing their recommendations on the expanded concepts 
for resource protection, interpretation and commemoration of the 
Underground Railroad
--Presentation of the draft interpretive brochure
--Discussion of proposed actions by the National Park Service in regard 
to Underground Railroad

    This meeting has been scheduled with less than 30 days notice 
because it was just recently determined to be the only opportunity for 
a majority of the committee members to meet while accommodating their 
individual schedules. The meeting will be open to the public. However, 
space and facilities to accommodate members of the public are limited 
and people will be accommodated on a first-come, first-served basis. 
Anyone may file a written statement concerning the matters to be 
discussed at the commission meetings. For further information about the 
meeting or submitting statements, contact Mr. John Paige, Underground 
Railroad Study Team Captain, National Park Service, Denver Service
