Report To The Congress

OF THE UNITED STATES


Changes In Public Land Management

Required To Achieve Congressional

Expectations

Public land managers in the Departments of Agri-
culture and the Interior are having difficulty achiev-
ing congressional expectations of producing the
natural resources the Nation needs--timber, grazing
forage, minerals, energy, etc.--while protecting the
environment and conserving sufficient resources
for the future.
GAO recommends legislative and administrative
changes which, together with agency actions al-
ready underway, should lead to
     --realistic assessments of resource supplies
     and demands,
     --resource production goals consistent with
     production capabilities and conservation
     and environmental restrictions,
     -better resource inventories and forest and
     rangeland management plans,
     --effective links between land management
     plans and annual budgets,
     --stronger and more effective programs for
     regulating public land users and maintaining
     facilities and resources, and
     --a proper balance between the agencies' land
     management responsibilities and capabili-
     ties.
This document is the executive summary of the
GAO report. The scope and detailed results of the
full work are contained in a separate report which
includes an appendix with examples.
