    National Park Service Law Enforcement Programs Study United States Park Rangers Report to Congress pursuant to P.L. 105-391 National Parks Omnibus Management Act, 1998 Vision Statement National parks were established as bastions to preserve representative examples of America’s most significant natural and cultural treasures. Sanctuaries that not only rekindle the human spirit through recreation and reflective introspection, but also as the contemporary, living link with our cultural history. They are the open books in the undisturbed library of our geological and paleontological history. They protect and allow interpretation of the archaeological clues that help us understand our prehistoric heritage. Parks are ecological safe havens, providing the guarantee of species diversity and genetic viability. These places of refuge are essential to perpetuating America’s flora and fauna for their own right, for our enjoyment, for scientific study and as wellsprings of continuous repopulation for surrounding areas beyond park boundaries. This report responds to the evident and sincere interest Americans have in their system of national parks. Its purpose is to communicate the law enforcement needs of the workforce charged with preserving these special places––to clearly communicate with Congress, ideas toward stronger protection of National Park System resources and the lives and personal property of visitors who will enjoy national park areas in perpetuity. i Introduction Purpose This report provides communication between the Department of the

  • The Californian
    The Californian The Revenue Marine Service The war for American independence from Great Britain began the morning of April 19, 1775 at Lexington, Massachusetts with the “shot heard ‘round the world” and ended on January 14, 1784 when the Treaty of Paris was ratified by Congress. The new American nation operated under the Articles of Confederation drafted by the Continental Congress in 1777. These articles reflected the wariness by the states of a strong central government and established a "firm league of friendship" between and among the 13 states. Under the Articles each of the states retained their "sovereignty, freedom and independence.” It was not until 1789 that America truly became the United States of America when the new nation’s first Congress convened in New York under the recently ratified Constitution. After the Revolution, the United States was deep in debt, and its emerging industries were under tremendous pressure from British imports. The American merchant marine, a mainstay of the colonial economy, had been weakened by losses in the war. To secure its political independence, the United States first had to secure its financial independence. One of the acts of the first Congress of the United States was to establish protective tariffs and taxes to generate revenues to repay the heavy debt of the Revolutionary War. Prior to the American Revolution, the colonists balked at what they felt were undue taxes imposed by Great Britain upon goods entering North America. One of the ways to escape this oppressive tariff was by smuggling. When the war was over however, many smugglers saw little difference between the tax imposed by King George and the Congress of the United States, so they continued their illegal trade.
