IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
FEBRUARY 15, 2005
Mr. GIBBONS introduced the following bill; which was referred to the 
Committee on Resources 
A BILL 
To direct the Secretary of Agriculture to sell certain parcels 
of National Forest System land in Carson City and 
Douglas County, Nevada.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, 
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. 
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Nevada National For-
est Land Disposal Act of 2005’’. 
SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following: 
(1) The United States owns, and the Forest 
Service administers, land in small and large parcels 
in Carson City and Douglas County, Nevada.
(2) Much of this Federal land is interspersed 
with or adjacent to private land, which renders the 
Federal land difficult, inefficient, and expensive for 
the Forest Service to manage and more appropriate 
for disposal. 
(3) In order to promote responsible and orderly 
development in Carson City and Douglas County, 
Nevada, appropriate parcels of the Federal land 
should be sold by the Federal Government based on 
recommendations made by units of local government 
and the public. 
(b) PURPOSE.—The purpose of this Act is to provide 
for the sale of certain parcels of National Forest System 
land in Carson City and Douglas County, Nevada.
