What This Page Covers, and What It Leaves Out

Both of the section's subsections: the designation itself, and the rule for references to the facility in other records.

Nothing in the section is left out. The law is one section in two subsections and does nothing else.

The law says nothing about who Oscar J. Upham was, so the site records no biography from it. It also sets no date by which signs, maps or records must be changed.
