   FREDERICK LAW OLMSTED NATIONAL HISTORIC SITE BOUNDARY MODIFICATION

  Mr. HANSEN. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that the Committee 
on Resources be discharged from further consideration of the Senate 
bill (S. 2246) to amend the Act which established the Frederick Law 
Olmsted National Historic Site, in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, 
by modifying the boundary, and for other purposes, and ask for its 
immediate consideration in the House.
  The Clerk read the title of the Senate bill.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Utah?
  There was no objection.
  The Clerk read the Senate bill, as follows:

                                S. 2246

       Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of 
     the United States of America in Congress assembled, That 
     section 201 of the Act of October 12, 1979 (93 Stat. 664), is 
     amended by adding at the end thereof a new subsection to read 
     as follows:
       ``(d) In order to preserve and maintain the historic 
     setting of the Site, the Secretary is authorized to acquire, 
     through donation only, lands with associated easements 
     situated adjacent to the Site owned by the Brookline 
     Conservation Land Trust. These lands are to be used for 
     educational and interpretive purposes and shall be maintained 
     and managed as part of the Frederick Law Olmsted National 
     Historic Site.''.

  The Senate bill was ordered to be read a third time, was read the 
third time, and passed, and a motion to reconsider was laid on the 
table.
