        <DELETED>    (5) the proximity of Catoctin Mountain Park, Camp 
        David, and Cunningham Falls State Park and the difference

        National Park System and 1 of 9 units in the National Capital 
        Region that does not have the word ``National'' in the title; 
        and</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (7) the history, uses, and resources of Catoctin 
        Mountain Park make the park appropriate for designation as a 
        national recreation area.</DELETED>
<DELETED>    (b) Purpose.--It is the purpose of this Act to designate 
Catoctin Mountain Park as a national recreation area to--</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (1) clearly identify the park as a unit of the
