President Theodore Roosevelt designated Pinnacles National Monument in California under the authority of the Antiquities Act of 1908. H.R. 3641 would redesignate the monument as Pinnacles National Park. While the name change will not significantly alter management of the area, it will raise the profile of this beautiful resource and hopefully attract even more visitors. Representative Farr is to be commended for his tenacity in moving this legislation forward. He has had to make some very difficult concessions to achieve passage of his bill today, and it is our hope that we can continue working on this to achieve his full vision for Pinnacles National Park. I reserve the balance of my time.
