                 ROOSEVELT NATIONAL FOREST

                        COLORADO


       In order to avoid the confusion arising from
  the fact that one of the several national forests
  in the State of Colorado bears the name of that
  State, it is hereby ordered that the name of the
  "Colorado National Forest," as defined by proclama-
  tion of June 12, 1917 (40 Stat. 1671), and subse-
  quently modified by acts of Congress, be changed
  to "Roosevelt National Forest" in honor of Theodore
  Roosevelt, twenty-sixth President of the United
  States.
