I do NOT support the government acquiring land on the outside of existing holdings just to gain control over ingress and egress. If it wants to grant the public access to blocked-off federal lands it could do that by acquiring an easement without ownership. Buying first right of refusal seems like paying something for nothing. Wouldn't they expire if not activated? I do not know more about the Olympic issues than what I just learned at your link. The only land acquisitions I support are WITHIN existing boundaries, and then only to consolidate an unmanageable ownership pattern. I always thought that streamflow going through private land was owned by the state sort of like game animals on private land. I could be wrong.
