  INTRODUCTION OF A BILL TO ADJUST THE BOUNDARIES OF THE LAKE CHELAN 
       NATIONAL RECREATION AREA AND THE WENATCHEE NATIONAL FOREST

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. DOC HASTINGS

                             of washington

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, March 19, 1998

  Mr. HASTINGS of Washington. Mr. Speaker, I have introduced a bill 
today that would correct a mistakenly drawn boundary between the Lake 
Chelan National Recreation Area and the Wenatchee National Forest.
  This measure would move the boundary that divides one land owner's 
property into two different federal jurisdictions, the National Park 
Service and the National Forest Service. While the land owner was 
originally assured that his property was located completely within the 
Wenatchee National Forest, it is now apparent that due to an error in 
the original boundary designation, that only part of his property is so 
designated. This bill would retroactively change this oversight to the 
original intent.
