Numerous Issues Involved in Large-Scale Disposals and Sales of Federal Real Property.

Abstract

The market value of Federal real property is unknown, and the amount of revenue that the Government could raise from selling land or other property would be difficult to predict. Whether enough revenue could be raised to make such a disposal program worthwhile is not known. Most Federal real property, other than public domain lands, has been acquired to support or provide some Federal program or service. Disposing of these properties might result in the associated program or service being cut back or eliminated. In addition, a large-scale Federal land sales program would require the Congress to establish a land disposal policy as opposed to its present policy of acquiring, retaining, and managing land.
