The U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) is an independent agency that works for Congress. The GAO watches over Congress, and investigates how the federal government spends taxpayers dollars. The Comptroller General of the United States is the leader of the GAO, and is appointed to a 15-year term by the U.S. President. The GAO wants to support Congress, while at the same time doing right by the citizens of the United States. They audit, investigate, perform analyses, issue legal decisions and report anything that the government is doing. This is one of their reports.

Land exchanges -- trading Federal lands for lands that are owned by corporations, individuals, or state or local governments who are willing to trade -- have long been used by the Dept. of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management & the Forest Service as a tool for acquiring nonfederal land & disposing of Federal land. In 1998 each agency announced several initiatives designed to improve its land exchange program. This report determines: the agencies' use of land exchanges since 1989; the extent to which the agencies ensure that their land exchanges meet exchange requirements; & the effect of the agencies' recent efforts to improve the management of their exchange programs.
