Cahill Policy

Three documents attached explain California State Parks "Cahill Policy."

• The original May 31, 1979 letter from State Parks director Russell Cahill, setting forth the policy.

• The one-page June 1988 letter from Jack Harrison (deputy director for operations of the California State Parks dept) to Cec Cinder of the then Western Sunbathing Association, Inc. (now AANR West), in reply to an inquiry Cec had written about the impact of the California vs. Bost ruling on the state parks. (By the way, "Cec" is short for "Cecil" and rhymes with "peace".)

• The 13-page opinion of the appeals court in the California vs. Bost case itself.
