H.R. 1446 is a bipartisan proposal which was introduced by the gentleman from California (Mr. Farr), our colleague, which originally passed the House on October 20, 2003. This bill has been returned to the House with a Senate amendment that makes a number of changes to the bill. These changes do not detract from the overall goal and direction of the legislation, and we do not object to them. The California missions are important historical and cultural resources that preserve and interpret a rich and varied history of exploration, conquest and settlement. The small grant program authorized by H.R. 1446 will be used for secular purposes which preserve those qualities of the missions that are historically and culturally significant. Mr. Speaker, we support the passage of H.R. 1446 as amended by the House today.
