       By Mr. GORTON:
  S. 2017. A bill to authorize the Secretary of Agriculture to exchange 
certain lands in the Wenatchee National Forest, Washington, for certain 
lands owned by Public District No. 1 of Chelan County, Washington, and 
for other purposes; to the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources.


                       Land Exchange Legislation

  Mr. GORTON. Mr. President, today I introduce legislation to authorize 
a land exchange between the Chelan County PUD, in Washington State and 
the U.S. Forest Service. The land exchange legislation will consolidate 
land for a wastewater treatment facility onto Chelan County PUD land. 
Chelan PUD would in turn own and operate the wastewater treatment 
facility, which serves both the Forest Service and some of the local 
community.
  The legislation was carefully negotiated between the Forest Service 
and the Chelan County PUD. The Forest Service supports the legislation, 
and I hope that the legislation can be enacted this year.
                                 ______
