On the recordJuly 13, 2010
Mr. Speaker, this legislation means a lot to my constituents on Rota. I would like to add to the Record a letter of support for H.R. 4686 from the mayor of Rota, the Honorable Melchor A. Mendiola. Mr. Speaker, it was residents of Rota who first asked me to explore the possibility of a national park on their island. H.R. 4686 does just that. It authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to determine whether the cultural, archaeological, historical, and natural resources of Rota are of national significance. If they are of national significance, the bill asks the Secretary to report to Congress on the feasibility and suitability of designating parts of Rota as a unit of our great national parks system.
