Identifier: CAC_CC_109_7_4_37_0018
The text consists of correspondence regarding legislation to allow the National Capitol Park System to acquire the Congressional Cemetery in the District of Columbia. Representative John P. Saylor introduced HR1891 for this purpose, and the Vestry of Christ Church, Washington Parish supports the legislation and intends to donate the land if the bill becomes law. Congressman James R. Jones acknowledges receipt of the letter and states that the matter has been referred to the Parks and Recreation Sub-Committee for consideration. No hearings have been scheduled at this time, but if the bill comes before the Interior Committee, it will be given careful consideration.
