described land from all forms of appropriation under the public land 
laws, including the mining laws, but not from leasing under the mineral 
leasing laws:

Sixth Principal Meridian

T. 8 S., R. 23 E.,
    A tract of land situated in the N\1/2\NE\1/4\ of sec. 26, more 
particularly described as follows:

    Beginning at a concrete monument (#29) located in the NE\1/4\ of 
sec. 26 on the Fort Leavenworth Military Reservation; thence S. 
19 deg.45'13'' E., 657.44 ft. along the reservation boundary, which 
is contiguous to the easterly boundary of the Federal Penitentiary 
under the jurisdiction of the DOJ, to a 4-inch bolt in Grant Avenue, 
said bolt being in the easterly boundary of said Federal 
Penitentiary, from which said bolt the bearing and distance to a 
reference iron pin formally in the north boundary line of the City 
of Leavenworth is S. 19 deg.45'13'' E., 104.28 ft.; thence Westerly, 
approximately 914 ft. along the north right-of-way line of 
Metropolitan Avenue to the east line of the Kansas Power and Light 
(KPL) easement; thence N. 01 deg.14'34'' E., 461.11 ft. along the 
east line of said KPL easement; thence N. 86 deg.25'25'' E., 48.09 
ft. along the east line of said KPL easement; thence N. 
05 deg.27'41'' W., 388.76 ft. to a point in the old boundary of the 
Fort Leavenworth Military Reservation the same being the east line 
of the said KPL easement; thence N. 71 deg.55'09'' W., 409.20 ft. 
along said KPL easement and along said old boundary of said 
reservation to a point; thence Northerly along said KPL easement 
approximately 1000 ft., parallel to the north line of Metropolitan 
Avenue, to a point in the present boundary of Fort Leavenworth 
Military Reservation, said point being in the center of Corral 
Creek; thence in a Southerly direction upstream, along the center of 
the ditch, approximately 643 ft. along the present reservation 
boundary to a point, said point being in the old reservation 
boundary; thence Southeasterly, approximately 161 ft., along the 
present reservation boundary to the point of beginning.

    The area described contains 24 acres more or less, in 
Leavenworth County.

    On October 13, 1976, 269.60 acres within the Fort Leavenworth 
Military Reservation were withdrawn and reserved for use of the DOJ for 
use by the Bureau of Prisons in connection with the operation of the 
Leavenworth Federal Penitentiary. The DOJ has determined that 24 acres 
of this withdrawal is no longer needed for the Federal correction 
facility and has agreed to a transfer of the 24 acres to the Department 
of Army for the Frontier Army Museum. No change is proposed in the 
segregative effect of the withdrawal.
    For a period of 90 days from the date of publication of this 
notice, all persons who wish to submit comments, suggestions, or 
objections in connection with the proposed modification of use and 
transfer of jurisdiction may present their views in writing to the 
Deputy State Director, Resource Planning, Use, and Protection, BLM, at 
the above address.

    Dated: January 25, 1995.
Gilbert J. Lucero,
State Director.
