      "summary": "In light of congressional activity on property rights bills during 1998, CRS extends its practice\nof\ncompiling reported court decisions, involving federal actions and/or federal statutes, that resolved\nFifth Amendment \"property rights takings\" challenges on the merits. Decisions in 1998 meeting this\ncriteria numbered 33, of which three found a taking. The federal programs implicated in this year's\ndecisions echo the broad diversity of such programs customarily involved in takings litigation against\nthe United States. Areas generating multiple takings decisions in 1998 were telecommunications\naccess, the fighting or intentional setting of forest fires, Indian tribal land rights, bankruptcy law,\nresponse to failed S&Ls, and the federal wetlands permitting program.",
