NATIONAL PARK SERVICE
                           MORNING REPORT

To:        All National Park Service Areas and Offices

From:      Division of Ranger Activities, Washington Office

Day/Date:  Saturday, December 30, 1995 - SPECIAL EDITION

Broadcast: 10:00 a.m. EST

This special edition of the Morning Report is being sent to you to convey
information pertaining to the current shutdown.  All parks and offices should
continue to contact their shutdown coordinators for specific guidance and
instructions.

The following memorandum, entitled "Concession Openings", was sent to all field
area shutdown coordinators by Deputy Director John Reynolds on Friday, December
29th:

Effective immediately, park concession facilities located on through
roads and highways may re-open if the re-opening will not result in
additional costs to the park.  This may include concession operations
such as service stations, food services, stores, lodging, etc., or
portions of such operations that will not contribute to additional park
expenses.

A through road is defined as a road or highway which begins and ends
outside of a park, plus parkways.  The facility should have access
directly from the road or highway, and not require the reopening of park
roads with other destinations.

Prepared by the Division of Ranger Activities, WASO, with the cooperation and
support of Delaware Water Gap NRA.
