Department Of The Interior And Related Agencies Appropriations For 1996 Vol 11

Excerpt from Department of the Interior and Related Agencies Appropriations for 1996, Vol. 11: Hearings Before a Subcommittee of the Committee on Appropriations, House of Representatives, One Hundred Fourth Congress, First Session; Subcommittee on the Department of the Interior and Related Agencies I thought this morning about what I might say to you, and the inscription on the National Archives seemed to be appropriate where it says the past is prologue. You, in my judgment, have the best job in the Administration. You have the responsibility for 442 million acres, which for a rancher is not bad, and I suppose there are times you think you need to be skilled at the round-up tech niques to get everybody in. You have the past in the sense that you have responsibility for approximately 107 historic sites that tell the story of America. It is a wonderful part of our Nation's culture and heritage, such as Independence Hall. You have this past year, 384 million visitors in the facilities that you have responsibility for.
