The Secretary of the Interior has the authority to change the name. See post #107. Is 40 years enough time for you?
I appreciate the input. If the power to rename is vested in the Secretary of the Interior, and a 40 year hold-up in congress certainly seems to be excessive when the home state wants the change, then this is much ado about nothing.
As I stated earlier - if it is legal - I care not. If illegal, I care.
It appears I should care not.
