Joe Manchin actually said...

"Creation of the National Park outlined in our legislation is supported by a wide range of elected officials from both parties."

"This legislation is a prime example of federal, state and local cooperation though all levels of government and engagement with local residents."

"The legislation Senator Warner and I have introduced, to create the Fort Monroe National Historical Park, is vital to the local community, the Commonwealth, and to historic preservation in Virginia."

"I think that's fair."
