Yosemite National Park in the Foresta area. The lands have been 
surveyed for cultural resources and endangered and threatened species. 
The Environmental Assessment discusses the use of this land for 
exchange purposes and this report along with the Finding of No 
Significant Impact are available upon request.

    II. In exchange for the lands identified in Paragraph I, the United 
States of America will acquire various parcels of land lying within the
