should be: (1) biological

supports efforts to channel
more federal funds for
animal research to schools of
veterinary medicine and
expanded USDA educational
service to the horse industry.
The Trails Sub-Group on
Lane Use recommended:
USDA aid to encourage the
public to make multiple use
of the 91,000-mile national
trails system, to assist in
development of new trails, to
provide horse camp facilities
in the system, to review the
system regularly for ob
solete or unneededed trails,
and to index all equestrian
trails in the nation.
The Urban Sub-Group on
Land Use suggested that it
should be recognized that
lack of suitable trails and
riding areas is a problem of
rural communities as well as
urban. The group also said
there is need to develop a
method of communication
among multi-users of trails

cyclists, and others) in-
