“Mr. Speaker, S. 1374, the Jackson Multi-Agency Campus Act of 1999, provides for an exchange of land for a building. The Forest Service will transfer approximately 12 acres of the Bridger-Teton National Forest to the State of Wyoming and to the town of Jackson, Wyoming in exchange for a building site and construction of a multi-agency office to house Forest Service and other Federal, State and local resource organizations. S. 1374 provides for a fair market exchange among willing sellers. The agencies gain a modern office location where employees from different organizations will be able to work closely together in partnership, which should lead to better decisions being made on the ground. The public gains a convenient facility for one-stop shopping when doing business with natural resource agencies. All parties to the agreement, Federal and local officials, as well as the public, are in favor of the bill, and I urge my colleagues to vote in favor of S. 1374.”
