PROC. NO. 7114. DESIGNATING KLONDIKE GOLD RUSH INTERNATIONAL
HISTORICAL PARK
Proc. No. 7114, Aug. 5, 1998, 63 F.R. 42563, provided:
A century ago, the Klondike Gold Rush began a migration that
forever changed Alaska and the Yukon Territory. More than 100,000
people headed north during 1897 and 1898, catapulting a
little-known region from obscurity to the center of the world
stage. While the Klondike was not the first or largest western gold
rush, coming nearly 50 years after the 1848 gold discovery at
Sutter's Mill, California, it is remembered for the sheer drama by
which it was announced to the world and for its century-long
influence on Alaska and the upper Yukon River basin.
The United States and Canada have been engaged for 30 years in
joint planning and cooperation to commemorate the Klondike Gold
Rush and preserve historic structures and trails on both sides of
the international boundary. In 1976, the Government of the United
States established Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park,
consisting of a Seattle unit, a Skagway unit, a Chilkoot Pass unit,
and a White Pass unit, to preserve the historic structures and
trails. The Government of Canada has recognized the national
significance of the Chilkoot Trail and Dawson Historical Complex by
designating them as National Historic Sites. It has also designated
a section of the Yukon River as a Canadian Heritage River and taken
other steps to commemorate the rich history of this region.
It is the desire of the United States to join our Canadian
neighbors in celebrating our shared history on the occasion of the
centennial of the Klondike Gold Rush and to reaffirm the commitment
of the United States to continuing the joint efforts of both
nations to preserve our shared Klondike history.
In 1996, Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chretien proclaimed that,
"the governments of Canada and the United States and of Yukon and
Alaska in a long-standing spirit of cooperation have agreed to
establish the Klondike Gold Rush International Historic Park,
incorporating the resources of the Chilkoot Trail National Historic
Site in British Columbia and the Klondike Gold Rush National
Historical Park in Alaska . . ."
Section 3(a) of U.S. Public Law 94-323 [16 U.S.C. 410bb-2(a)]
states, "At such time . . . that planning, development, and
protection of the adjacent or related historic and scenic resources
in Canada have been accomplished by the Government of Canada in a
manner consistent with the purposes for which the park was
established, and upon enactment of a provision similar to this
section by the proper authority of the Canadian Government, the
President is authorized to issue a proclamation designating and
including the park as a part of an international historical park to
be known as Klondike Gold Rush International Historical Park."
NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United
States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by
section 3(a) of Public Law 94-323 [16 U.S.C. 410bb-2(a)] of June
30, 1976, do proclaim that Klondike Gold Rush National Historical
Park is designated and included as part of an international
historical park to be known as Klondike Gold Rush International
Historical Park.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this fifth day of
August, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-eight,
and of the Independence of the United States of America the two
hundred and twenty-third.
William J. Clinton.

Sec. 410cc. Congressional statement of findings and purpose

-STATUTE-
(a) The Congress finds that -
(1) certain sites and structures in Lowell, Massachusetts,
historically and culturally the most significant planned
industrial city in the United States, symbolize in physical form
the Industrial Revolution;
(2) the cultural heritage of many of the ethnic groups that
immigrated to the United States during the late nineteenth and
early twentieth centuries is still preserved in Lowell's
neighborhoods;
(3) a very large proportion of the buildings, other structures,
and districts in Lowell date to the period of the Industrial
Revolution and are nationally significant historical resources,
including the five-and-six-tenths-mile power canal system, seven
original mill complexes, and significant examples of early
housing, commercial structures, transportation facilities, and
buildings associated with labor and social institutions; and
(4) despite the expenditure of substantial amounts of money by
the city of Lowell and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts for
historical and cultural preservation and interpretation in
Lowell, the early buildings and other structures in Lowell may be
lost without the assistance of the Federal Government.

(b) It is the purpose of this subchapter to preserve and
interpret the nationally significant historical and cultural sites,
structures, and districts in Lowell, Massachusetts, for the benefit
and inspiration of present and future generations by implementing
to the extent practicable the recommendations in the report of the
Lowell Historic Canal District Commission.
