Sliould tVie BLM wish to exchange iLs land boldinys for Uie 

 national good, it should )x2 for Uie <jocx3 of all stJtes involved 

 in the trc-Jisfer. Aerojet can do iiure on uty Nevada land than it 

 can in Florida s^.va'ip lajid. Novnua 1.2nd sliould be equal in value, 

 if not nore valuable, to Aerojet. 7\n acre-for-aciie cxcliajirje is 

 more equitable. And desr-rt d.vollors don't yive up Lheir v.ater 

 rights. 



Environnenfal Tnpact Slijdies :ihould certainly bo done, and 

 released to tlie public for review. In addition, iJiis bill should 

 be given public hearings in several locations in Nevada, around tlie 

 sights pLoposed. 



I'fajiy Ncvadans feel tJiat there is enouyl"! military and woa[;ons 

 testing and arsenals in Nevada. One more major ijistallation, 

 although pri\'ate in natuie, is just one r.ure land grab from tlie 

 people of tlie state, a state in uhich 87 p(?rcent of the land is 

 federally controlled. 



Nevada's land is \vorth rore than $45.00 an acre, and Nevada's 

 land is worth rrore than 'lO be used as a boiiiliing and testing range. 



Please allow this Land Exchange to die. 



Tliank you.
