D.C. 20548 RELEASED - o a by the Office of Congressional Relationsa 823 JUNE 4, 1979 The Honorable Sidney R. Yates Chairman, Subcommittee on Interior and Related Agencies Committee on Appropriations House of Representatives / 's 6F 6r e3 ,5'_ Dear Mr. Chairman: Your February 2, 1979, letter requested that we review the propriety of Land and Water Conservation Fund assist- ance for the Pioneer Courthouse Square Project, Portland, Oregon. You later sent us a copy of Congressman Duncan's February 5, 1979, letter to you that a--so qesti6nedfuffd- ing for the project. The Fund is the largest Federal program providing money specifically for outdoor recrea- tion and is administered by the Heritage Conservation and Recreation Service, an agency of the Department of the Interior. zy 6 63 In accordance with your request and agreements reached with your office and Congressman Duncan, we reviewed the propriety of the following issues. --Should the project have been given Fund assistance as an outdoor recreation project? We believe Pioneer Square qualifies as an outdoor recreation project within the meaning of the Land and Water Conservation Fund Act of 1965. --Was an amendment to the project which would permit reappraisal of a land parcel necessary and reason- able? Since the city of Portland withdrew the amendment, it never became a part of the grant agreement. In our opinion, the proposed amendment was neither necessary nor reasonable because the city already had a binding commitment with a private concern to purchase the land at a substantially lesser price. --Are Urban Mass Transit Administration funds being properly used for the project?
