On the recordNovember 13, 2006
Mr. Speaker, H.R. 3085, introduced by Congressman Zach Wamp of Tennessee and amended by the Senate, would amend the National Trails System Act to update a feasibility study originally prepared for the Trail of Tears in 1987. This new study would examine new trail segments, land components and campgrounds associated with the trail, particularly Bell and Benge Segments. As my colleagues are aware, the Trail of Tears National Historic Trail encompasses the primary water route and northern land route used during the forced removal of the Cherokee Nation from its homelands in the southeast United States to Indian Territory, which is present-day Oklahoma. Mr. Speaker, I urge adoption of the bill.
