                    The Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, to which was
                  referred the Act (H.R. 1547), to provide for the unencumbering of
                  title to non-Federal land owned by the city of Tucson, Arizona, for
                  purposes of economic development by conveyance of the Federal re-
                  versionary interest to the City, having considered the same, reports

                                            PURPOSE
                    The purpose of H.R. 1547 is to provide for the unencumbering of
                  title to non-Federal land owned by the city of Tucson, Arizona, for
                  purposes of economic development by conveyance of the Federal re-
                  versionary interest to the City.
                                     BACKGROUND AND NEED
                    In 1980, the City of Tucson, Arizona entered into a long-term
                  lease from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) for a 172.8 acre
                  parcel of land that was improved for public use by the city and
                  named Udall Park, after Rep. Morris K. Udall, who represented
                  the Tucson area in the House of Representatives from 1961 until
                  1991. Title to Udall Park was later conveyed to the City of Tucson
                  in 1989 by the BLM under the authority of the Recreation and
                  Public Purposes Act (RPPA). Both the lease and title conveyance
                  (patent) included a reversionary clause prohibiting certain commer-
                  cial uses of the property.
