  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to the rule, the gentleman from 
Utah (Mr. Hansen) and the gentleman from Puerto Rico (Mr. Romero-
Barcelo) each will control 20 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Utah (Mr. Hansen).
  Mr. HANSEN. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  Mr. Speaker, H.R. 149 is a non-controversial bill that would make a 
number of simple technical corrections to the Omnibus Parks and Public 
Lands Management Act of 1996 and other laws related to parks and public 
lands management. This bill is completely bipartisan and has wide 
support from the administration.
  In each congressional session, large numbers of individual pieces of 
legislation are passed and written into law. Often, small mistakes and 
errors are made in the drafting and printing of the final language that 
becomes the actual law. For example, an incorrect map number might be 
found or a period is missing from a sentence or a word is spelled 
incorrectly.

                              {time}  1415

  This bill makes necessary technical corrections to language which has 
been written into many of our various laws and makes certain we have 
dotted the I's and crossed all the T's. In crafting this bill, we have 
discovered a few other technical corrections that needed to be made; 
and these are reflected in the bill, as amended.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support H.R. 149.
  Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. ROMERO-BARCELO. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may 
consume.
  (Mr. ROMERO-BARCELO asked and was given permission to revise and 
extend his remarks.)
  Mr. ROMERO-BARCELO. Mr. Speaker, H.R. 149 is a housekeeping measure 
introduced by the gentleman from Utah (Mr. Hansen), Chairman of the 
Subcommittee on National Parks and Public Lands.
  The bill makes numerous technical corrections to the Omnibus Parks 
and Public Lands Act of 1996 to fix punctuation, map references and 
other minor drafting errors that exist in the law.
  Several additional technical corrections were identified, and they 
were included in amendments adopted by the Committee on Resources. 
There are no problems with the bill as amended by the Committee on 
Resources, and we support its passage.
  Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. HANSEN. Mr. Speaker, I have no further requests for time, and I 
yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. ROMERO-BARCELO. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion offered by the 
gentleman from Utah (Mr. Hansen) that the House suspend the rules and 
pass the bill, H.R. 149, as amended.
  The question was taken; and (two-thirds having voted in favor 
thereof) the rules were suspended and the bill, as amended, was passed.
  The title of the bill was amended so as to read: ``A bill to make 
technical corrections to the Omnibus Parks and Public Lands Management 
Act of 1996 and to other laws related to parks and public lands.''.
  A motion to reconsider was laid on the table.
