Public Land Report Narrowly Binds Congress to Debate
A 342 page Public Land Law Review Commission report on one third of U.S. real estate raises questions on keeping or divesting federal land. The document highlights lack of a national land-use plan and questions long-term resource conservation while urging Congress to act beyond executive decisions. The debate involves mining, timber, and farming interests, environmentalists, and regional politics across Washington, New England, and beyond.
