Description
Robert Wolf tells the tale of the “Sweet Swap,” a nearly scandalous land exchange in Oregon involving the Bureau of Land Management and a timber man named Sweet from California. He describes how Senator Lee Metcalf had previously prevented J. Neils Lumber Co. from getting legislation authorizing land exchanges and how Secretary of Interior Wirth subsequently slipped land exchange language into Point Reyes Seashore legislation. Wolf notes that the resultant attempted land exchange in Oregon involved negotiations that affected Oregon, the Bureau of Land Management, the Department of the Interior, and Mr. Sweet.
