         AMERICAN HERITAGE AREA PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM ACT OF 1994

                                 ______


                       HON. THOMAS J. BARLOW III

                              of kentucky

                    in the house of representatives

                      Tuesday, September 13, 1994

  Mr. BARLOW. Mr. Speaker, I rise to urge my colleagues to support H.R. 
3707, the American Heritage Area Partnership Program Act of 1994. This 
program will create an efficient and effective process to enhance and 
preserve the natural, historic, and cultural resources and recreational 
opportunities in areas that possess unique cultural traditions and 
distinctive landscapes.
  The Ohio River Corridor is nationally distinctive, flowing through 
six States from its headwaters in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to 
its confluence with the Mississippi River at the edges of the 
Commonwealth of Kentucky. The corridor comprises a chain of commercial, 
industrial, historical, archeological, natural, recreational, cultural, 
and economic areas that are of significance and importance to the 
Nation. H.R. 3707 can provide important areas, like the Ohio River 
Corridor, with technical assistance and guidance through the process of 
becoming a National Heritage Area.
  Support the American Heritage Area Partnership Program Act, and 
support preserving America's Heritage.
