John Kerry actually said...

"This bill is supported by the National Park Service, by the city of Lowell, and by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts."

"Designating these areas as a national historical park has important economic and environmental, historical and educational benefits for the region."

"But as Senator Kerry has pointed out, the Blackstone River Valley is a rich concentration of mills and villages."

"I believe the bills that I am addressing here today, I think, make sense."
