Surplus land sale program labeled a bust in 1983
The Reagan administration failed to meet sales targets for surplus federal lands. GSA raised $194.7 million though aimed at $1.23 billion, and fiscal 1984 projections were cut to $500 million for GSA, $300 million for Interior, $200 million for the Forest Service. Interior faced Western resistance and warned against selling large chunks.
