SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The DEIS/GMP analyzes three alternatives to
manage the park and balance visitor use and resource protection. Under
the preferred alternative visitors would have opportunities to
participate in a variety of activities. The major action of the
alternative would be to locate the visitor/administrative facility
offsite at the U.S. Forest service site. Alternative A would provide
visitors with offsite learning opportunities, while preserving the
reflective mood at the site. Under alternative B visitors would be
provided with onsite learning opportunities through integration of the
visitor facilities with the historic scene onsite.
    The DEIS/GMP in particular evaluates the environmental consequences
of the proposed action and the other alternatives on cultural
resources, natural resources, visitor use, and the socioeconomic
environment.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION: Contact Superintendent, Washita Battlefield
National Historic Site, at the above address and telephone number.

    Dated: February 23, 2001.
