                 GEYSERVILLE INTERMODAL/VISITORS CENTER

                                 ______


                            HON. FRANK RIGGS

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 19, 1996

  Mr. RIGGS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to express my appreciation and 
support for the recognition given by the Committee on Appropriations to 
the value of a proposed project in Geyserville, CA, in Sonoma County. 
In the report accompanying the fiscal year 1997 Agriculture 
appropriations bill, the committee expresses its expectation that the 
Department will give consideration to funding this project under the 
rural business enterprise grants program. While the report makes 
reference to intermodal transportation and technical assistance 
requests relating to a train depot in Geyserville, one point merits 
clarification. In order to fully meet the rural needs of Geyserville, 
it is important to give equal consideration to funding the construction 
of a visitor's center and small business incubator, which will be 
constructed adjacent to the depot.
