There is considerable concern, I would like to say to my distinguished colleague from Colorado, at both the local level and the Federal level, that the environmental cleanup proposed by the Department of the Army for the Presidio in San Francisco will not meet the environmental health and safety criteria appropriate for a national park. The Presidio, as you know, Mr. Speaker, is the only base closure to convert to national park use, and it is important for the Army to meet the cleanup levels set by the National Park Service. I would encourage the committee to work with the gentlewoman from California in urging the Department of the Army to expedite its environmental remediation efforts at the Presidio.
