senate 07/15/2025 - 119th Congress
We are working to shift control of certain lands in Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, so that some areas can support U.S. Customs and Border Protection training while others are preserved as part of the National Historical Park. This transfer aims to balance law enforcement needs with historic preservation without exchanging funds.
