Mr. Speaker, H.R. 3982 is sponsored by the gentleman from Utah (Mr. Cannon). The legislation authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to take a 3-acre parcel of land owned by the Paiute Indian Tribe out of trust so the tribe can sell it to the City of Richfield, Utah. The land would be sold only on a willing-seller basis for fair market value and would be used by the city to expand its municipal airport. H.R. 3982 also authorizes the Secretary to transfer three parcels of trust land to two of the Tribe's constituent bands. The parcels, each of which is one acre or less, will remain in trust for the benefit of the individual bands. Finally, H.R. 3982 changes the name of the Cedar City Band of Paiute Indians of Utah to the Cedar Band of Paiute Indians of Utah. The tribe and all local entities support this bill, and I urge its adoption.
