in closing, H.R. 3187 is about turning a Federal liability into a community asset. Right now, taxpayers are stuck with the cost of a vacant building that continues to deteriorate. With this bill, we can remove that burden, transfer the property to Perry County, Arkansas, and allow local leaders to put it to work serving their community. This legislation will provide a permanent home for programs that strengthen conservation, support farmers and landowners, and create new opportunities for young people through 4-H extension services. It is a practical, cost-effective solution that delivers real value. I, once again, thank Representative Hill for his hard work on this bill. Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to vote in favor of the bill today, and I yield back the balance of my time.
