BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

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

Madam Speaker, H.R. 5472 redesignates the Jimmy Carter National Historic Site as Jimmy Carter National Historical Park. This site includes President Carter's resident and boyhood home. Plains High School serves as the site's visitor center. And the railroad depot, which served as campaign headquarters during the 1976 Presidential election, and also houses additional exhibits. Redesignation of the site does not affect the laws or policies that govern the area, and the primary impact of the passage of this legislation would be changing signs, maps, and handouts.

Redesignation of the Jimmy Carter National Historic Site as a national historical park does not affect the laws or policies that govern the area, and I urge adoption of this measure.

Mr. WITTMAN. Madam Speaker, I have no other speakers, and I yield back the balance of my time.
