On the recordSeptember 26, 2006
I rise in support of H.R. 5103. Mr. Boucher's bill will convey about 6 acres of land within Jefferson National Forest back to the Lutheran Church to allow them to restore and preserve the historic Konnarock Lutheran Girls School in Smyth County, Virginia. The Lutheran Evangelical Coalition for Missions in the Appalachias has developed a thoughtful plan for the site that includes the restoration and preservation of the building, a retreat center, and an environmental learning center that will work in conjunction with local schools. This is a worthwhile use of Federal forest land and an excellent project which deserves congressional support.

It is not a constitutional quagmire. I don't know why people bring this up, because it was clear in this 1892 court case what the situation is. The thing is, we initially asked, if I could explain, if it was possible to re-enroll the bill…
