On the recordSeptember 9, 1998
H.R. 3109 is a bill introduced by my long-time friend and colleague, the gentleman from New York (Mr. Solomon). Unfortunately for many of us here in the House, the gentleman from New York has decided to bring his distinguished and energetic representation in the House to a close this year. I truly regret his departure, but wish him well in the years to come. He will surely be missed here in Congress. As for H.R. 3109, the gentleman from New York (Mr. Solomon) deserves credit for a bill that establishes, as an affiliated area of the National Park Service, the Thomas Cole National Historic Site in the State of New York. Thomas Cole is recognized as America's most prominent landscape artist who inspired the Hudson River School of landscape painting. The Thomas Cole house where Cole lived while painting his masterpieces is currently listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and has been designated as a National Historic Landmark.
