That Pittman Act lands were to be used for agricultural purposes is clear from both the text and the legislative history of the Act.
The Pittman Act thus contemplated that, at the time a patent was issued, the Secretary of Interior would have made a formal determination that the land in question was more valuable for agricultural purposes than for the minerals it contained.

 The Radio Act of 1927 as a Product of Progressivism
Key Pittman of Nevada expressed his frustration to the Senate chair: "I do not think, sir, that in the 14 years I have been here there has ever been a question before the Senate that in the very nature of the thing Senators can know so little about as this subject."
The two key provisions in the law were the creation of a new government commission and the commission's mandate to regulate radio in the "public interest, convenience, and necessity." Modeled after the Interstate Commerce Commission and the Federal Trade Commission, Congress created the Federal Radio Commission (renamed Federal Communications Commission in 1934).
14 Key Pittman, for example, was always identified as a party-line Democrat, but in 1925 and 1926 he pushed for passage of a progressive-like piece of governmental regulation, the Long and Short Haul amendment to the Interstate Commerce Act, with the help of Progressive leader William Borah.

 Commentary: Focusing talent is key | CNET News.com
Bob Pittman's replacement of Barry Schuler as chief executive at America Online probably marks the first in a series of moves that parent company AOL Time Warner will make to align its resources with its long-awaited digital convergence strategy.
Pittman excels in those areas, which is why he's assuming that role.
The fact that Pittman will be filling two high-level offices--continuing as chief operating officer at AOL Time Warner even as he becomes CEO at America Online--may indicate that the company does not have enough talent at key levels to execute its new strategies.

 Print Article: Pittman rival shows positive to vogue drug
One of Jana Pittman's key rivals in the 400-metre hurdles, the American champion Sandra Glover, has tested positive to the banned stimulant modafinil.
And in the last event of the season, the world grand prix final, Glover won the 400m hurdles as Pittman partied and Pechonkina was sick with bronchitis.
Glover is likely to face the loss of her US trial title but she will be able to keep the world championships silver medal because under current IAAF rules the modafinil sanction involves the stripping of results from the competition in which the stimulant was found, as well as a public warning.

 Oh, the stories they tell at the Mizpah Hotel (printable version)
In another column, I demonstrated the claim was preposterous that longtime Democratic U.S. Sen. Key Pittman of Nevada had died before the 1940 general election and his body kept on ice at the Mizpah Hotel.
The Nov. 5 edition of the Nevada State Journal noted that Pittman was hospitalized and would not be able to travel to Tonopah to cast his vote as was his custom.
Despite the bogus frozen body tale repeated in the book “The Green Felt Jungle” (1963), and, until recently, on the hotel’s Key Pittman Restaurant menu, the story is really about keeping the news of Pittman’s terminal illness, linked to a massive heart attack, from the voters.
