B-125053RE                         AS
The Honorable Don Bonker
House of Representatives

Dear Mr. Bonker:

     At the December 19, 1974, request of former Congressman
Wendell 'Yatt/and later discussions with your office, we
are reporting on the proposed move 'of the St. Helens Ranger
District headquarters from its location at Pine Creek in
the Gifford Pinchot National Forest to Yale, Washington.

     We reviewed available records at the Forest Service
headquarters in Washington, D.C., and interviewed Forest Serv-
ice officials at the headquarters office; the regional office
in Portland, Oregon; the forest supervisor's office in Van-
couver, Washington; and the district headquarters at Pine
Creek, Washington. We discussed the report contents with
Forest Service officials and considered their views in pre-
paring this report and also obtained the views of some timber
industry representatives.

     Mr. Wyatt was concerned about the unnecessary expendi-
tures of Federal funds to move a facility which he said had
been moved several times in thMe last 10 to 15 years and the
effect this move would have on the forest users.

RANGER DISTRICT REORGANIZATIONS

     Forest Service officials told us that reorganizations
of ranger districts occur periodically and are necessary to

     --facilitate management of the districts' changing work-
       loads,

     --more effectively use personnel, and

     --improve services to the forest users.

The ranger districts in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest -
have been reorganized and changed several times in the last 17
years. The facility at Pine Creek has served as a district
headquarters since 1959.

     In 1957 the Lewis River Ranger District headquarters was
moved from the Lewis River Guard Station to Chelatchie
