“This is a good bill. We have a lot of good national parks legislation besides the Presidio Trust. We have got the Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve, the Selma to Montgomery National Historic Trail, the Colonial National Historic Park, Wupatki National Monument Boundary Adjustment, Cumberland Gap National Historic Park, the Zion National Park Boundary Adjustment, the Rocky Mountain National Park Visitor Center, the Walnut Canyon National Monument Boundary Adjustment, the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, the Franklin D. Roosevelt National Historic Site, the Women's Rights National Historic Park, the Big Thicket National Preserve. And, Mr. Speaker, it would be incomplete if I did not mention two initiatives in my own State of New Mexico, one the Rio Puerto Watershed Act, which cleans up the water and the boundaries in that area and, of course, the Taos Bottleneck legislation. This is an historic bill that turns over 765 acres of the Wheeler Peak Wilderness to management by the Taos Pueblo as part of the Blue Lake Wilderness Act legislation signed by President Richard Nixon in 1970 returning to the Taos Pueblo all lands that had been seized by the Federal Government. This bill does it. It is a good piece of legislation. It is critically important that this passage now move through the other body.”
