On the recordSeptember 12, 2000
The legislation I am here to say a few words about is H.R. 3632, which expands GGNRA in three counties. It will add immeasurably to the value of this most important area, adding approximately 900 acres in San Mateo, San Francisco and Marin Counties to the existing GGNRA park land. It is supported powerfully by local government. A significant portion of the lands are donated without any cost to the Federal Government. The Department of Interior and the National Park Service strongly support this legislation. Mr. Speaker, I want to urge all of my colleagues to vote for this and thank them for approving this legislation.
