	A Report on a Proposed Adirondack Mountains National Park (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		In later years, Wirth upheld the notion that the Adirondacks were a good idea for a national park; that if New York State did not take the initiative, and acted accordingly, the National Park Service (NPS) could step forward with a national park proposal in the same manner as it had done with Cape Cod.
		Wirth stated that Governor Rockefeller and Secretary Udall supported the idea of a national park, but then turned it down in light of the lack of state support (Wirth 1989).
		Conrad Wirth and his associates pointed out that; "We are convinced beyond any doubt that the Adirondacks are of national park quality, and if established as a national park would rate second to none.'"

		The NPS afforded Howland extraordinary opportunities to design new visitor centers and experiences within renown older parks as well as to develop master plans for new types of parks, such as national seashores and urban recreation areas.
		While much of this work was realized under Director Conrad Wirth’s "Mission 66," a ten-year, $670 million park program to improve visitor services leading up to the NPS’s 50 th anniversary in 1966, his sustained efforts over a quarter century were focused on the design and planning of his beloved the nation’s capital, Washington, D.C.
		For his superior accomplishments as a park planner and designer, Howland was made a Fellow of the ASLA (1981) and received a Department of Interior Meritorious Service Award (1966) and a Citation for Distinguished Service (1971).
