Excerpt from That the Past Shall Live: The History Program of the National Park Service It is the duty and responsibility of the National Park Service of the Department of the Interior to see that this System is fully protected, to insure its use and enjoy ment by the people of today and tomorrow. Few people, I am sure, realize that more than two thirds of the areas in the National Park System are set aside for their historic or prehistoric importance. Prob ably only an equally small percentage is acquainted with the fact that the National Park Service is the Federal agency charged with the primary responsibility for the preservation of America's historic sites and buildings. We hope that this booklet will make you who own them better acquainted with the richness and the variety of the historic and prehistoric properties administered by the Federal Government, and with the historical program of the National Park Service.
