On the recordSeptember 25, 1996
This is a good bill, introduced by our colleague Mr. Clinger, which provides for the designation of 51.7 miles of the Clarion River in Pennsylvania under the Wild and Scenic River Act. About 60 percent of the river courses through Forest Service and State game lands, and the balance is abutted by private property owners. The Forest Service has studied this river pursuant to a directive by Congress several years ago. The Forest Service found strong local support for designation of the river, as attested to by a proclamation issued by Gov. Tom Ridge designating June 1996 as Clarion River Month. The administration fully supports this legislation and I am aware of no objections to it, therefore, I urge my colleagues to support H.R. 3568. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
