      By Mr. GORTON:
  S. 1683. A bill to transfer administrative jurisdiction over part of 
the Lake Chelan National Recreation Area from the Secretary of the 
Interior to the Secretary of Agriculture for inclusion in the Wenatchee 
National Forest; to the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources.


          The Wenatchee National Forest INCLUSION ACT OF 1998

  Mr. GORTON. Mr. President, today I am introducing S. 1683, 
legislation to transfer approximately 23 acres of land from the Lake 
Chelan National Recreation Area to the Wenatchee National Forest. This 
legislation is supported by both the National Park Service and the 
United States Forest Service, and would end a 10-year ordeal for my 
constituent, Mr. George C. Wall. Mr. Wall has been trying since 1987 to 
shift his 23 acres from the Recreation Area to the National Forest in 
order to more effectively manage his entire 168 plot of land. S. 1683 
is non-controversial and I hope this body will approve it as 
expeditiously as possible.
                                 ______
