LAS CIENEGAS ENHANCEMENT ACT -- (House of Representatives - September 27, 2006)

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

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

Madam Speaker, H.R. 5016, introduced by Mr. Kolbe, would consolidate lands within the Las Cienegas National Conservation Area located 50 miles south of Tucson. The area consists of 42,000 acres managed by the Bureau of Land Management.

This legislation would add 2,490 acres of private land to the conservation area in exchange for 1,280 acres of isolated BLM lands. The bill would also modify the boundary of the conservation area to exclude a 40-acre tract of land for a sanitary landfill. This area was inadvertently included in the original boundary.

I would urge support for this bill.

Madam Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
