I wish to commend our distinguished colleague from the Virgin Islands, a valuable member of our Committee on Natural Resources and the chairwoman of our Insular Affairs Subcommittee, Donna Christensen, for sponsoring the pending legislation, H.R. 1143. The bill would authorize the National Park Service to continue its successful relationship with Caneel Bay Resort, ensure that park resources are protected, and allow the resort to undertake needed maintenance and improvement programs that will benefit visitors to Virgin Islands National Park and the Caneel Bay Resort well into the future. Congresswoman Christensen deserves our thanks for her work in ensuring that visitor services at Virgin Islands National Park are available and that resources are protected. I fully support passage of the pending bill and urge its adoption by the House today.

The question at issue is not 'should potential tribes be recognized' but 'who should make the final determination of recognition' when so many critical interests are at stake.
