Robert L. Ehrlich, Jr. letter to P. E., April 13, 1995

с Congress of tfje Ifnitrt States fbousc of sREprcSentatibee ©HaStington, 2ЭС 20515-2002 April 13, 1995 Dear Thanks for communicating to me your concerns about the “American Heritage Trust Act.” Currently no bill bearing that name is pending in the U. S. Congress. However, a similarly titled bill, the American Heritage Areas Act of 1995, sponsored by Congressman Bruce Vento (D-CA), was introduced on March 22. My staff has ordered a copy of this bill. Please be assured that I will vote against any bill which unduly threatens the rights of private property owners. The kind of bill which you described, in which property owners who own land adjacent to national parks may be required to sell their land to the National Park Service, would raise some concerns as to whether landowners would be adequately compensated. Thanks again for writing. Please contact me again if I can be of further assistance. Sincerely, Member of Congress RLE: ijc
