The Honorable Ralph S. Regula
House of Representatives
Dear Mr. Regula:

     In response to your July 25, 1973, request and as agreed with your
office, we are furnishing you data on the proceeds collected during
fiscal year 1972 from the use or lease of Federal lands administered
by the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management and the
Department of Agriculture's Forest Service and on the disposition of
the funds collected.

     During fiscal year 1972 the Bureau and the Forest Service collected
$931,791,872 in receipts from the use or lease of Federal lands which
they administered. Of this total, $327,050,174, or about 35 percent,
was deposited in Treasury general fund accounts; $179,210,651, or about
19 percent, was deposited in special fund accounts for distribution to
States and their subdivisions; $425,031,422, or about 46 percent, was
deposited in special Treasury accounts to finance various Federal pro-
grams relating to outdoor recreation, public land improvements, and
national forest maintenance; and $499,625 was deposited in a special
holding account pending determination of the rights to land and timber
of the Tongass National Forest in Alaska.

     Enclosures I and II contain analyses of the sources and disposi-
tion of the receipts collected by the Bureau and the Forest Service,
respectively.
     Figures on the source and disposition of receipts from the use
or lease of Federal lands administered by the Forest Service were not
readily available in the format you requested. At the time we con-
tacted officials of the Forest Service's Division of Budget and
Finance, they estimated that considerable time would be required to
provide the data in the requested format and the Division was involved
