Dear former landowner

February 1993

Please take a minute to comment on the statements below and return one copy to us, uncut. Your name was provided us in response to a Freedom-of-Information-Act request as someone who sold land to the National Park Service in FY 1992. We are researching. whether some sales involved a degree of federal coercion. Commonly, a federal land agency labels any seller who settles out of court "willing seller" even when under government duress.

Please check off on all statements even if they seem repetitious. Your reply will be tabulated and compared with federal acquisition statistics. Help us with your stamp!

Sincerely yours

Bo W Thott, Secretary

The ALLIANCE is a grassroots, property-rights organization formed in 1988 in response to due-process violations by the National Park Service in a federal/state secret survey for 10 years of a 20-mile coastal area with a view to designate it a Natural Landmark and thus make it a candidate for a National Park.
