“Mr. Speaker, S. 233, introduced by Senator Dodd of Connecticut and passed by the Senate earlier this year, would authorize the Secretary of Interior to conduct a suitability and feasibility study of the Coltsville site, an area within the city of Hartford, Connecticut, for the potential inclusion in the National Park System. The Coltsville site, founded by Samuel Colt, flourished during the industrial revolution, spurring innovation in not only the production of firearms, but also with the development of technology. S. 233 is supported by the administration, as well as the majority and minority of the subcommittee. I urge my colleagues to support S. 233.”
