NANCY PELOSI\n\n                             of california\n\n                    in the house of representatives\n\n                       Thursday, October 6, 1994\n\n  Ms. PELOSI. Mr. Speaker, I rise to offer my thanks to Chairman\nStudds, Representative Andrews, and the many others who worked for the\npassage of H.R. 3059, the National Maritime Heritage Act of 1994. This\nbill represents a long-overdue effort to provide much-needed support\nfor maritime historical preservation projects all over the country.\n  From Seattle to Newport News to San Francisco to the Rio Grande\nMilitary Museum, this legislation will perpetuate our maritime history\nby allowing States, local governments, and nonprofit organizations to\napply for maritime heritage grants which will be used for educational\npurposes. I am proud to have the world's largest fleet of historic\nships located in my district at the San Francisco Maritime Park. This\nimportant grants program will fund much-needed and long-delayed repairs\non these ships.\n  Mr. Speaker, the National Maritime Heritage Act is also a fiscally\nresponsible measure. Funding for the program will be derived from\nscrapping obsolete National Defense Reserve Fleet [NDRF] vessels. These\nfunds will then be apportioned between maritime heritage projects, the\nmaritime administration, and State maritime academies for training and\neducational purposes.\n  Mr. Speaker, in the last 60 years, over 400 of the most important\nhistorical vessels in this country have been lost because of erratic\nFederal support for maritime preservation. This bill attempts to\nreverse that course and I am grateful that my colleagues have given it\ntheir support.\n\n                          ____________________"]], "columns": ["granule_id", "date", "congress", "session", "volume", "issue", "title", "chamber", "granule_class", "sub_granule_class", "page_start", "page_end", "speakers", "bills", "citation", "full_text"], "primary_keys": ["granule_id"], "primary_key_values": ["CREC-1994-10-08-pt1-PgE235"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 3.3170650713145733, "source": "Federal Register API & Regulations.gov API", "source_url": "https://www.federalregister.gov/developers/api/v1", "license": "Public Domain (U.S. Government data)", "license_url": "https://www.regulations.gov/faq"}
