  The purpose of the hearing is to receive testimony on the following

trails and provide for possible additions to such trails;

route in Arizona and New Mexico which the Navajo and Mescalero Apache 
Indian Tribes were forced to walk in 1863 and 1864, for study for 
potential addition to the National Trails System.
