On the recordMay 17, 2004
H.R. 3768, as amended, is a small, noncontroversial measure. The legislation involves the inclusion of 8.5 acres of land within the Timucuan Ecological and Historic Preserve in northern Florida. This parcel of land, known as American Beach, has historical ties to the African American community, largely represented by the gentlewoman from Florida (Ms. Corrine Brown), which used the area for many years for recreational purposes. It is our understanding that this noncontroversial measure has the support of the local community and there are no objections from the National Park Service to the inclusion of this recreational and historical land within the preserve. That being the case, Mr. Speaker, we support the passage of the legislation today. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
