Final Report & Recommendations
[edit]The Commission submitted a report titled "One Third of the Nation's Lands" to the President and Congress on June 20th, 1970. The complete document is available from many locations.
Like all government commissions, the report itself provides a lot of detail about the members of the Commission and about the history of its establishment.

Apparently one of the Commission's 137 recommendations was that federal government land be more open to being lost/transferred by Adverse Possession. This would seem to be an extremely controversial proposal that as far as I know was never implemented. See Adverse Possession against the United States - A Treasure for Trespassers, 26 Ark. L. Rev. 467 (1972-1973).
This issue is a topic of current interest because of the claims of (some of) the occupants of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge that they weren't engaged in a conspiracy to deprive federal government employees of access to the MNWLR but were trying to adversely possess the land.
