The measure follows presidential recommendations.

Government control of western lands tops committee chart
Brandford told the lands committee that 57 percent of the 13 western states acreage is under government control totaling about 492 million acres across Arizona Colorado California Idaho Montana Nevada New Mexico North Dakota Oregon South Dakota Utah Washington and Wyoming. He noted remaining lands are unappropriated and called them the survivals of the unfittest. He argued conservation could be managed by states and private interests and cited Walsh bill provisions that 52 percent of mineral land revenues would go to the reclamation fund to safeguard it.
