On the recordSeptember 26, 2000
Mr. Speaker, H.R. 2267, introduced by the gentleman from Colorado (Mr. McInnis), amends the National Trails Systems Act to clarify Federal authority relating to land acquisition from willing sellers. The gentleman from Colorado is to be commended for correcting a long-standing problem with the National Trails System Act. Mr. Speaker, under the existing statute, nine national scenic and historic trails have restrictions preventing the Federal Government from acquiring land from the trails outside of the exterior boundaries of any federally administered area. This bill would allow lands to be purchased by the Federal Government. However, H.R. 2267 specifically provides that such purchase can only be made with the consent of the owner of the land or interest. Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support H.R. 2267, as amended.
