FEDERATION OF WESTERN OUTDOOR CLUBS







No. 11

DIVESTITURE OF PUBLIC LANDS
            


               

The largest acreages of public lands in the Western states are the states' and nation's greatest economic and natural resource.  Any significant reduction in the national debt by federal land sales would require the sale of hundreds of millions of acres, and not preclude the reestablishment of a huge debt.  No guidelines for the selection of the so-called "surplus" lands have been establishment.


Be it resolved, by the Federation of Western Outdoor Clubs, that public lands should remain in public ownership in the best interest of the citizens of the United States, except for unused federal administrative sites and isolated and unmanageable small tracts of land (after guidelines for the selection and sale of such sites have been established).
