PART I--GENERAL

The authority for the public land management and development activities

of the Bur<:lau of Land Management are contained in a series of laws: including

. the Taylor Grazing Act ()f June 28, 1934 (48 Stat. 1269), ,as amended; the Soil

Conservation and Domestic Act of April 27, 1935 (49 Stat. 163), as amended by

Reorganization Plan Number IV (54 Stat. 1234), effective June 30, 1940; and

the Halogeton Glomeratus Control Act of July 14, 1952 (66 Stat. 597). In addi-

B. Scope

This report is the Bureau of Land Management's portion o'f the appendix of ,

the Pacific Southwest Water and Related Land Resources Plan and covers all

.

aspects of the Bureau's work in the area. It is based on the limited and widely

dispersed data presently available both within and out side the Bureau. Prepa-

ration of the report has sharply indicated the need for more detailed and better

integrated planning of the Bureau's various program s. In a large part, the

limitations of the report are due to failure to provide adequate staff and financing

for planning. Additional attention to-and more adequate financing of planning

would have made possible a more detailed and comprehensive report.
