"Public Lands Leaders Meet To Hammer Out Year-End Package"

"House and Senate negotiators are still haggling over a year-end public lands package that would reauthorize the Land and Water Conservation Fund but would also include several parochial bills, some of which could be controversial.

One snag that has emerged is a potential provision that would make it easier for the Washington Redskins football team to build a stadium on federal land in the District of Columbia.

The Department of the Interior owns the land, now home to RFK Stadium, which is controlled by D.C. under a long-term lease with the National Park Service; language included in a year-end package could extend or expand that lease."
