State board OKs land sales plan and budget bids
Idaho State Board of Land Commissioners approved the 1977 land sales plan with next steps for individual review. The package includes 9,332 acres statewide and 2,652 acres in the Payette Lakes area. The Department of Lands requested 9.46 million dollars for FY 1978, with a governor's cut of about 425 thousand. A one year sand and gravel lease on a Clearwater River sandbar was approved, despite tribal sovereignty questions. A dredge mining permit for 7.5 acres in Clearwater County near Pierce was also approved after Forest Service review.

Moscow based Tass accuses Australia New Zealand and the United States of unleashing military hysteria in the Far East amid a 17 day ANZUS naval exercise described as the region’s largest since World War I. The agency blames Pentagon driven policy and conservative governments for inflating tensions and seeking new strategic footholds.
