Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of H.R. 2899, introduced by my Committee on Natural Resources colleague, Delegate San Nicolas. Mr. Speaker, H.R. 2899 authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to conduct a study to assess the suitability and feasibility of designated areas within the island of Guam as national heritage areas. The study would cover the entire island of Guam and identify areas of natural, historic, and cultural importance that reflect the traditions, customs, beliefs, and folklife that represent distinct and nationally significant aspects of the American story. I congratulate Delegate San Nicolas for his strong advocacy in promoting this legislation on behalf of his constituents, and I urge support from my colleagues on this legislation. Madam Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
