The GOP should grab this bit of property. Probably pretty valuable, and not being put to good purposes right now.

Some lawmakers negotiated the inclusion of land grab provisions in the 2015 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which will expand the already massive federal real state holdings.
Critics consider those provisions pork because they have nothing to do with defense or national security. The NDAA provides guidance for U.S. defense spending and policy. It is considered a “must-pass” legislation.
...
When asked to comment on the potential land grab, Catherine Frazier, a spokeswoman for Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), told Breitbart News, "Controversial legislation that has not been debated and is completely irrelevant to our national defense should have no part in the NDAA bill debate."
The Senate aide told Breitbart News that highlights of the lands provision include:
•275,000 acres designated as new Wilderness Areas;
•A Women’s History Museum;
•Four new National Parks seven National Park studies for new parks to be;
•16 National Heritage extensions;
•Three new Wild and Scenic River (WSR) designations and three new WSR studies that are expected to become new designations; and Land entitlement for Sealaska, an Alaska Native Regional Corporation
...
Dan Caldwell, the legislative director for Concerned Veterans of America, expressed disappointment that members of Congress were trying to fund a public land package through an NDAA that cuts benefits to troops.
“It is absolutely disgraceful that there are members of Congress who are pushing to include funding in the National Defense Authorization Act for a massive federal government land grab, a women’s history museum, and other pet projects while raising healthcare and housing costs for our troops when many of them continue to risk their lives every day in combat in Iraq, Syria, and Afghanistan,” ..
“Instead of crafting serious and forward-thinking defense policy, it appears that many members of Congress are more interested in rewarding political supporters and engaging in cronyism.”

The federal government has 31.2 million acres of Utah's land, and Utah wants it back.
Tyranny by any other name. Expect nothing from the EXEMPT Repubs — there is no opposition party.
