Materials Specific Details
Beginning in June 1966 the Public Land Law Review Commission held a series of public meetings around the country for the purpose of hearing and seeing regional problems first hand. In April 1968 the first of several hearings on the various reports prepared for the PLLRC was held. Listed below, in chronological order, is a brief description of the contents of the folders for these meetings. A.B. Curtis did not attend the first two meetings, those held in Salt Lake City on June 7-8, and in Alaska on July 1-11, consequently no folders exist for those meetings.
