Proclamation 3273—Enlarging the Boundaries of the Cabrillo National Monument, California

Whereas the Cabrillo National Monument in San Diego County, California, was established by Proclamation No. 1255 of October 14, 1913 (38 Stat. 1965), on approximately one-half acre of land that, along with other lands, had been set aside for military purposes by an order approved by the President on February 26, 1852; and

Whereas the present area of the monument is not adequate for the proper care and management of the historical landmarks and historical objects situated therein; and

Whereas approximately eighty acres of land contiguous to and completely surrounding the present site of the monument and constituting a part of the lands set aside for military purposes by the order of February 26, 1852, are no longer needed for military purposes; and

Whereas those lands are essential to the proper care and management of the Cabrillo National Monument and it is in the public interest to redefine the boundaries of, and to add those surrounding lands to, the monument:

Now, Therefore, I, Dwight D. Eisenhower, President of the United States of America, under and by virtue of the authority vested in me by section 2 of the act of Congress approved June 8, 1906, 34 Stat. 225 (16 U.S.C. 431), do hereby proclaim that the following- described tract of land, which comprises the original site of the monument and the additional lands needed for the purposes stated above, shall constitute the Cabrillo National Monument:
