On the recordOctober 22, 2007
let me just in closing say this legislation, H.R. 189, this designation goes beyond a simple designation. It speaks to the strengthening of our independence as this Nation develops. It speaks to a beautiful natural resource that needs to be protected and designated, and it speaks to an historic legacy about people and industrial advancement that needs to be preserved and enhanced and designated for the whole Nation to appreciate. I want to thank the sponsor of the legislation and urge my colleagues to exercise the wisdom of Congress and approve H.R. 189.
