I thank the gentleman. It deals exclusively with public properties--military installations, properties deemed essential for reasons of national security, and national parks are not subject to this jurisdiction. Again, I come to the floor tonight with deep disappointment in the ranking member, who for so many years has worked in a bipartisan way on this subcommittee. Text was available since December, so it's no surprise. The subcommittee chairman and full committee chairman agreed to accept her amendment in its entirety, and most importantly, and something that's lacking in Washington today and lacking in Congress, is people not keeping their word, and the chairman of the subcommittee is keeping his word, which is extremely important in this whole process. I urge all of my colleagues to support H.R. 1734, the Civilian Property Realignment Act.
