September 3, 1964

In the Rose Garden, September 3, 1964. President Lyndon B. Johnson has just signed the Wilderness Act and hands pens to Mardy Murie (left) and Alice Zahniser. Their husbands, Olaus and Howard, had died during the final year of the long lobbying campaign. Secretary of the Interior Stewart L. Udall leans over the president as members of Congress look on: Senator Frank Church behind Murie; Representative Wayne Aspinall behind Zahniser; Senator Clinton P. Anderson to the right of Aspinall and directly above the president; and Representative John P. Saylor, with glasses, standing closest to Udall.
