Norvell Emerson: “This bill would transfer land currently under the jurisdiction of the Bureau of Land Management to the Forest Service.…”

On the recordJuly 31, 1995
This bill would transfer land currently under the jurisdiction of the Bureau of Land Management to the Forest Service. The land is currently being managed by the Forest Service. Another reason for the transfer is that the Penhody National Recreational Trail runs through a portion of the land that we are transferring. This transfer will enhance the management of the Penhody. The total amount being transferred is 559 acres. It is my understanding that the minority has no objection to this legislation, and that the administration is in support.
