NATIONAL AGENCIES COOPERATE

In planning the Civil War Centennial commemorative program for Americans, the National Commission has benefited greatly through the enthusiastic cooperation offered by many government agencies. These include the Library of Congress, National Archives, Department of Defense, Treasury Department, Post Office Department and others.

This Commission has dovetailed its efforts with the tremendous program of national historic site expansion and preservation carried on by the National Park Service. “Mission 66” and the Civil War Centennial reflect the coordinated planning and united effort of the United States Government to preserve for our people the finest traditions of our American heritage. The Park Service at present administers 28 Civil War areas, including the new 4200-acre battlefield park site at Pea Ridge donated to the government by the State of Arkansas.
