Wild and Scenic Rivers Act--Interpretation of Condemnation Limitations

The following questions were addressed to the General Counsel: (1) Has the National Park Service (NPS) made a proper interpretation concerning the 100 acre per mile limitation in the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act? (2) Do you agree with the Forest Service's legal interpretation that section 6(a) of the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act applies only to acquisitions made after passage of the Act?
