Mr. Speaker, S. 1537, introduced by Senator Blanche Lincoln, would direct the Secretary of Agriculture to convey to the New Hope Cemetery Association certain land in the State of Arkansas for use as a cemetery. The existing cemetery is about 5 acres and nearing full capacity. The Forest Service initially tried to facilitate this trade without legislation, but the land was appraised for far more than the cemetery association could afford. The conveyance would not create additional management boundaries for the Forest Service, and the agency has no need for the land. As such, the Forest Service would convey the 1.1 acres for free. I urge Members to support this important measure.
