Ranch, Inc., Schuman Carriage Corporation, and Botheilho Enterprises, Inc. and to identify and investigate all alternatives to (1) fairly compensate the ranchers for losses suffered as a result of the withdrawal of any leased lands; and (2) avoid providing exceptions to public land leasing policies.
