This amendment makes some technical, clarifying, and conforming changes to the underlying bill. It amends title IV to delete a portion of the land that the National Park Service does not want to acquire for the San Antonio missions and which would expose it to liability for cleanup costs. It conforms the text of title VI to match what the House passed in the 111th Congress in H.R. 2806. And it conforms title VIII with the leadership protocols regarding length and amount of authorizations. And, finally, it clarifies what funds States may use to increase access to target ranges under title XII. With that, I urge adoption and I reserve the balance of my time.
