This is a unique bill and i rise in strong support of the Black Hills National Cemetery boundary expansion act thats offered by the gentlewoman from south dakota, mrs. Noem. This bill is one of those things that actually helps people. Instead of being bureaucratically stuck in the predicament that we are, this will transfer from b. L. M. 200 acres roughly to the Veterans Authority so they can actually have an expanded cemetery there for native americans that deal in this particular issue. This is one of those things where were actually doing something good to help people. And it takes a piece of legislation to allow that to happen when it should have been done administratively. But i do wish at this point to insert in the record an exchange of letters with chairman jeff miller of the Veterans Affairs committee Veterans Affairs committee, and to thank him and his staff for skeding this particular bill scheduling this particular bill. Thank you. With that i would yield for as much time as she may consume to the gentlelady from south dakota who is a sponsor of this bill, mrs. Noem. The speaker pro tempore the gentlelady is recognized. Mrs. Noem thank you, mr. Speaker. And thank you to mr. Chairman. I rise in support of h. R. 3839, the Black Hills National Cemetery boundary expansion act. And want to thank the chairman of the committee and his staff for helping to move this bill through the house and the agencies involved in their constructive input. Your support means so much to me, to our veterans and to all of their families as well. Those who have served in the family who served and the families who sacrificed beside them deserve our nations eternal gratitude. The Black Hills National Cemetery has been but one way in this appreciation is shown. The cemetery currently covers around 100 acres of land and is home to the korean veterans war memorial. Most importantly, its peaceful landscape serves as the final resting place of hundreds of Service Members and their family. Chief david beautiful bald eagle is among one of those buried there. Born in a tipi in 1919, he served our country in world war ii. Ed a ass a paratrooper in one of the as a paratrooper and one of the legendary lakoda code talkers. His life continues to be an inspiration to those who knew him. Brigadier general richard e. Ellsworth is also laid to rest there. This is a man who flew 400 combat missions during world war ii and earned numerous medals. He returned to the u. S. Where he eventually became Wing Commander of the Rapid City Air force base. In 1953, that base was renamed Ellsworth Air force base in his honor. We honor the legacy of those veterans and many others at the Black Hills National Cemetery, but the facility will not have the room it needs to continue serving future veterans without expansion. This bill will allow that expansion by transferring around 200 acres of adjacent land in south dakota from the bureau of land managements jurisdiction to the department of Veterans Affairs department of Veterans Affairs. My office has worked with these agencies and stakeholders in crafting the legislation. And all agree that this Land Transfer is necessary. The transfer of land will provide the Black Hills National Cemetery with the additional burial space that it needs and assure that todays veterans and Service Members, as well as their families, that we will be able to uphold our commitment and offer this nations eternal gratitude for all that they have done. Again, i want to thank the committee and the chairman, my colleagues, for supporting this bill and i urge a yes vote. Thank you, mr. Speaker. With that ill yield back. The speaker pro tempore the gentlelady yields back the balance of her time. The gentleman reserves the balance of his time. The gentleman from colorado is recognized. Mr. Polis mr.

Forest service or b. L. M. , it frequently requires an actual bill to go through this entire process the house has process, the house, the president s signature, ive had to do that a number of times and worked with our chairman on a number of bills important to my district. Now we have one thats not only of importance to south dakotans, but important to veterans nationally. This bill provides the Veterans Administration with 200 acres of federal land thats managed by the b. L. M. To expand the Black Hills National Cemetery. As we know, National Cemeteries are reserved for brave men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice while serving in the military. And its important that we have space to meet those internment requests. Our veterans have served their country and they deserve to permanently rest in the cemetery that honors their sacrifice and commitment to the ideals that hold us together as a nation. And it so happens that the b. L. M. Land that this bill would transfer abut thes the current cemetery. The abutts the current cemetery. Only congress can provide the transfer necessary for this expansion. Thats not uncommon to actually bring bills before congress for land exchanges or border extensions. Thats why were discussing this bipartisan, commonsense bill. I urge my colleagues to join me in supporting it. Expanding the Black Hills National Cemetery is a noble and worthy cause that deserves our support. I want to thank representative noem of South Carolina south dakota for bringing this issue foort and forward and for all all of her hard work in guiding this bill through committee and hopefully shortly through the United States congress.

The speaker pro tempore the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. Mr. Bishop once again, this is a great ran out of space. With this bill we continue to actually help people which is one of the reasons why congress exists. To do good things for people. I yield back the balance of my time and urge my colleagues to wait. Before i yield back, i urge my colleagues to adopt this measure and i yield back the balance of my time.

Ask unanimous consent to address the house for one minute. The speaker pro tempore without objection. Mr. Tonko thank you, mr. Speaker.

The period between memorial day and labor day, where we witnessed horrors like the worst mass shooting in miami, Law Enforcement deadliest day since 9 11 and dallas and this is way beyond unacceptable. Each new report of a shooting regardless of its scale begs the question, what will it take for the house leadership to bring legislation to the floor that addresses the root cause of these tragedies. With more than 90 of americans demanding congressional action, im certain my colleagues on the other side heard similar requests from their constituents imploring us to take a stand against the National Gun Lobby and make our places Safer Communities in which to live. Debate and pass legislation that will prevent dangerous individuals from purchasing firearms. And i yield back.
