Report To The Chairman,

Subcommittee On Public Lands And National

Parks, Committee On Interior And Insular Affairs,

House Of Representatives






Additional Actions Taken To Control Marijuana

Cultivation And Other Crimes On Federal Lands





I6 a 1982 report, GAO discussed marijuana cul-
i yation and other illegal and unauthorized activities
on federal lands. At the request of the Chairman,
H use Subcommittee on Public Lands and National
Pirks, GAO updated its previous work.

GAO found that marijuana growers have threatened
and harassed federal employees and land users
and/or caused resource damage, primarily in Cal-
ifornia and Oregon. GAO also found that increased
cooperative law enforcement efforts have resulted in
the destruction of more marijuana. Further, GAO was
informed that additional actions have been taken to
control other crimes on federal lands.
  I
GAO believes that the agencies' law enforcement
efforts to control marijuana cultivation and to foster
mutual aid and cooperation with other law en-
forcement entities are responsive to its previous rec-
orimendations that the Secretaries of Agriculture and
the Interior (1) give increased emphasis to using their
law enforcement powers and, where necessary, re-
vise existing regulations and (2) increase their level of
law enforcement activities.
