Summary of Records
Scope and Content
This series contains correspondence, reports, and other materials generated by the interaction between Governor Matheson's office and federal agencies and offices. These materials reflect the role of federal agencies in the development of state policies and federal policies that affect Utah. Of particular note are the materials generated by the Department of Agriculture (including the National Forest Service) and the Department of the Interior (including the Bureau of Land Management and the National Park Service), all of which deal with the development and management of Utah lands, including the possible creation of Lone Peak Wilderness Area in 1977, and somewhat extensive correspondence between Matheson and the Secretary of the Interior, Cecil D. Andrus. Of additional interest may be materials on the proposal to relocate "Weteye" nerve gas bombs from Rocky Mountain Arsenal in Colorado to the Tooele Army Depot in Utah; those materials may be found under the Department of the Army inthis series.
