I think that turning over federally owned land to the states would not be a wise option. First, I think this would have a significant impact on tourism and commerce in the states--if the reserved land were converted, as in the case with Idaho. I guess I am curious as to which states this covers, and what other states plans would be with the land. I find it hard to believe the citizens of Utah want this option also. I think it is important to preserve and learn from the land set aside for those purposes. The National Debt wasn't made by the nature reserves so why should they have to pay it off.
