Abstract
In accordance with Reorganization Plan No. 3 of President Harry S. Truman, in 1946, the Bureau of Land Management (hereinafter called “the Bureau”) was established in the United States Department of the Interior on July 16, 1946, through consolidation of the General Land Office and the Grazing Service. The General Land Office was established in 1812 and the Grazing Service in 1934. By the consolidation, the administration of approximately 400,000,000 acres of public land in the west was brought into one unit to provide for more effective administration at less cost and to insure maximum service in the public interest by the decentralization of activities.
