<br />.' . - ,-." <br />(,,, ' ", <br />j u U..J '... L <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />We come now to the cOllservation of the pubHc lauis. The matter of the <br />disposal of publIc domain lands is also a problem of considerable magnitude in <br />Calii'ornia. "hen one tall(s with ~eop1e who have had ocoasion in the past to do <br />business HUh our Bureau of wnd Hanagement, the impression is gained that the <br /> <br />Bureau attempts to find reasOl,S for denying applications. <br />I can assurG you this will not be the future policy of the De;:>artment. <br />~e ~dll attempt to act on the cpplications as rapidly as possible under the <br /> <br />requ;b e:nE>nts laid down by Congress. It is our c1eterrrdnation that a vigorous effort <br /> <br />will be made to advance 6.'1d enlarge the slU'vey-ing and classification of the public <br /> <br />lands. <br /> <br />This -Hill be done in order to determine uhether they al''3 available for entry. <br /> <br />It is hoped that under such a policy we will be able to Dot only to expedite the <br /> <br />handling of land matt.ers but assure that steps are taken to put the land to its <br /> <br />best use, recognizing in all cases that there must be a balance between individual <br /> <br />and n~.tional interests. <br /> <br />In order that this may be accolaplished, I have had the operations and organi- <br /> <br />zation 01 the BureaU carefully analyzed. ! r8cently approved the recommendations <br /> <br />of a survey tearr. for making the operation of the Eta'eau lJ'.orG efficient and <br /> <br />effective. <br /> <br />You have read in the newspapers recently that a conference was held between <br /> <br />officials of the Department of the Interior and the California Hater Project <br /> <br />Authority relative to the proposed sale of the Central Valley Project to the State <br /> <br />of California. <br /> <br />let me mal:e very plain--the Department has not hlmg a "for sale" sign on this <br /> <br />very successful Federal venture into pouer, irrigation and flood control. <br /> <br />9 <br />
