On the recordAugust 3, 1998
H.R. 3047 is a bill introduced by the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Bonilla). The gentleman from Texas has worked hard on this bill which addresses an important historical site in Texas. H.R. 3047 would authorize the expansion of Fort Davis National Historic Site by 16 acres by increasing the ``not to exceed'' acreage clause in the current enabling legislation which prevents the historical site from expanding. The acreage to be acquired is needed to protect the site's historic setting and viewshed. Of particular note, no federally appropriated funds are requested for this land acquisition. I strongly urge my colleagues to support passage of H.R. 3047.
