MT. SOLEDAD VETERANS MEMORIAL PROTECTION ACT

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. BUTTERFIELD. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.

Mr. Speaker, as the chairman said a moment ago, this bill is intended to preserve the Mt. Soledad Veterans Memorial in San Diego, California, and it allows for the immediate acquisition of this memorial by the United States Government.

The distinguished chairman, my friend from California, feels obviously very strongly about this issue, and apparently the people of that region also feel very strongly about it, by virtue of a vote that they took, a popular vote, indicating some 76 percent support for this idea.

Mr. Speaker, for that reason I will not be opposing the resolution. I will have some speakers who would like to speak to the issue.

Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
