In February 1971, the Chief of the Forest Ser vice directed Regional Fores ters to identify those areas which still should be studied for po-tae-; tential wilderness classifi cation. The identification will be completed in 1972, and the studies will be scheduled to be gin after primitive area reviews are completed in 1974. The areas selected for wilderness study will be protected to pre serve their wilderness poten tial during the study period and until a final determination is made. Public involvement is part of the selection process. There fore, we are forwarding a copy of your letter to Regional For ester Rexford Resler in Port land, for his consideration in selecting study areas. In addition, we urge you to become involved by attending public meetings called for this purpose or by sending your com ments on specific areas to the local forest officer. Sincerely, John R.
