On the recordOctober 28, 1997
I share the concerns that my colleague has raised and will work with the committee, and with him, and with the gentlewoman from California [Ms. Pelosi] to ensure an appropriate cleanup for the Presidio. We have this problem with a number of bases around the country, but I think this one has a unique factor connected with it. I think the gentleman from California [Mr. Dellums] has pointed out what that factor is, and that is that this is a national park. We want to move forward in creating this, and, if we are going to do this, we want it to be a good national park. We cannot do that without the cleanup. I share the gentleman's concerns and will do everything I can to work with him and solve this problem.
