of the Lubbock Industrial Park. One lot was labeled "Lubbock
Industrial Park Add. Lot 1" and was located directly south of the

5" and was located to the east of the Litton property. Neither
the 11.656 acres nor the parcel of 30.3 acres was labeled as part
of the Lubbock Industrial Park on the maps submitted by the
experts.

Cantrell's report fails to mention that the parcel of 30.3 acres

industrial purposes in the reasonably near future at the time of
its donation. See Olson v. United States, 292 U.S. at 255. The
evidence suggests that access to the parcel of 30.3 acres was
