This legislation will allow the Indian Nation's Council of the Boy Scouts to expand a very popular adventure camp in Oklahoma. The Scouts would pay fair market value for an additional 140 acres of Forest Service land to be added to the existing camp. Mr. Speaker, the Boy Scouts are a beloved organization dedicated to education and public service. The sale of this parcel to the Scouts is a good use of public lands, and we support the legislation. I would also like to acknowledge that my good friend, Mr. Boren, has been a tireless champion for this bill and for the Boy Scouts and is to be commended for his work over several years on behalf of this proposal. I urge my colleagues to support H.R. 473. I yield the balance of my time to the good gentleman from Oklahoma (Mr. Boren).
