H.R. 3147 provides for the exchange of lands between the Bureau of Land Management and the Merced Irrigation District. Under the legislation, 179 acres of scattered BLM lands within the irrigation district's water project area would be exchanged for 160 acres of land the irrigation district owns within the boundaries of the Merced Wild and Scenic River. We have no objection to the measure. The administration supports the bill. It is an even value exchange that will benefit both the irrigation district and the Federal Government.
