Wolf tells the tale of the "Sweet Swap," a nearly scandalous land exchange in Oregon involving the BLM and a timberman named Sweet from California. Senator Metcalf had previously prevented J. Neils Lumber Co. from getting legislation authorizing land exchanges (of federal and private lands). Secretary of Interior Wirth subsequently slipped land exchange language into Pt. Reyes legislation. The resultant attempted land exchange in Oregon involved negotiations that affected Oregon, the BLM, the Department of the Interior, and Mr. Sweet. 22 pp.
