Navajo BLM land swap eyed near Malpais checkerboard area
The first phase of a proposed 137000 acre exchange between the Navajo Tribe and BLM could wrap early next year. The deal would consolidate BLM holdings in the Malpais lava flow area south of Grants while the tribe gains title to federal land in the checkerboard area with many unauthorized occupancies. Surface rights only would be exchanged, leaving mineral rights with current owners, and phases would proceed in 6000 to 10000 acre increments.

The Carter administration announced minor revisions to wage and price guidelines seven weeks after their adoption. The 7 percent wage cap remains, now with a softened fringe-benefit rule, and price increases face stricter limits, including a tougher profit-margin cap. The plan aims for gradual reductions to curb inflation over several years, with officials expecting results by spring and ongoing adjustments as needed.
