Mr. Speaker, H.R. 4773, introduced by Representative Jack Kingston of Georgia, would allow the National Park Service to lease a small facility at Fort Pulaski National Monument to the Savannah Bar Pilots Association. The pilots perform a vital public service, keeping the Savannah River and the harbor safe, and they have used this facility at Fort Pulaski for more than 40 years under a special use permit. H.R. 4773 would regularize that arrangement under a lease. Mr. Speaker, we urge support of H.R. 4773. I reserve the balance of my time.
