Recommendation for Enactment of H.R. 9424: Transfer of Federally Owned Lands to the Pueblo of Laguna, 1970-01-01 - 1970-12-31

The Department of the Interior recommends that a bill be enacted to declare certain federally owned lands in New Mexico as held in trust for the Pueblo of Laguna. The lands, totaling approximately 1016.65 acres, were acquired for administrative purposes but are no longer needed by the Bureau. The bill covers four specific tracts of land, including an administrative site, a sanatorium site, and a government excluded tract. The lands have been used for grazing and other purposes by the Pueblo of Laguna, and there are no plans for future government use of the land.
