      By Mr. HATCH:
  S. 1734. A bill to require a transfer of jurisdiction for development 
of an Armed Forces recreation facility, Park City, Utah; to the 
Committee on Energy and Natural Resources.
  Mr. HATCH. Madam President, today I introduce a bill that requires a 
transfer of jurisdiction for development of an Armed Forces recreation 
facility in Park City, UT. This bill would enable the Secretary of the 
Interior to transfer, without reimbursement, a parcel of real property 
in Park City to the Secretary of the Air Force. The Air Force will use 
this property as the location for an Armed Forces recreation facility.
  I can think of no better use for this beautiful land in Utah than to 
support the military men and women who are serving our country. The 
bill I introduce today is the culmination of several months of careful 
coordination between the Department of Interior and the Department of 
Defense to make certain that the transfer is accomplished within all 
applicable laws, policies, and regulations. Given the tremendous 
challenges our nation's service members face at this time, I am proud 
to introduce this bill which will contribute much to the morale, 
recreation, and welfare of our service members. I hope that we can 
secure quick passage of this important legislation.
                                 ______
