Appropriations Panel Also Wants Report to Speed Hunters
Point Clean-up
July 1, 1999
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi of San Francisco, a senior Democrat on the House Appropriations Committee, announced today that the full Committee approved a fiscal year 2000 appropriation for the U.S. Interior Department that includes a total of $44.4 million for the Presidio Trust -- $24.4 million for operations and $20 million in borrowing authority to rehabilitate property for leasing.
In addition, the U.S. Park Service received $5.8 million to cover its responsibilities at the Presidio, including $800,000 for rehabilitation of Crissy Field. The Committee Report also encourages the Presidio Trust and the Smithsonian Institution to explore avenues for affiliation. "This funding," said Pelosi, "will enable the Presidio to proceed at all deliberate speed toward the twin goals of preserving the essence of a magnificent national park and achieving economic self-sufficiency."
Hunters Point
The Appropriations Committee also approved Pelosi language recognizing "the important progress" being made to clean up Hunters Point Naval Shipyard and complete its transfer to the City of San Francisco.
"It is the belief of the Committee," said Pelosi, "that the necessary funding to achieve the environmental clean-up goals at Hunters Point Naval Shipyard should be allocated by the Navy to expedite, and coincide with, the implementation of City land re-use and redevelopment plans."
The Appropriations Committee directed the Secretary of the Navy to report to the Committee no later than January 15, 2000, on the progress being made to complete the timely transfer and redevelopment of Hunters Point and on the compatibility of the process with local revitalization plans. "This provision is important," Pelosi noted, "because it will hurry the reinvigoration of the surrounding neighborhoods and create much-needed job opportunities."

Pelosi Statement Praising Presidio Trust Announcement on Letterman
June 14, 1999
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Congratulations to the Presidio Trust on their announcement of a "preferred alternative" for the Letterman Complex at the Presidio. Several excellent alternatives for Letterman were under consideration by the Trust and the step taken today marks a major milestone on the Trust's journey to sustainability.
Today's decision on the preferred alternative exemplifies the fine leadership of the Presidio Trust. The Letterman lease will be a major accomplishment for the Trust, which will preserve the park's environmental integrity while ensuring that the Presidio becomes a self-sustaining national park. The Trust has an important challenge from Congress to become self-sufficient, and I am confident that its leadership will realize even greater success for the Presidio and bring great pride to our community as a place of beauty and recreation.
Many members of the Presidio Trust were involved with the Presidio Council in developing the general concepts for the Trust and in the public planning process with the National Park Service. Their participation resulted in legislation passed by Congress to create a unique management model for a unique national park.

That said, DO NOT use this information... Ms. Pelosi will do far more damage to her party and herself once she is safely in position.
Honestly- she will impeach herself with her own words if we just stand back, and let it happen...
LOL! That's the ticket! Well done, thou good and faithful mole. :D
Because that is all that this far out leftist chick, Pelosi, will legislate.
More rules, regs, taxation and slop to depress the free spirit of the people in order to tighten our chains to the alter of big fat socialist government.
IMHO, the democrats party has nothing but tired old leftist wealthy hags, geezers, Clintons and MacAuliffe to offer this great nation. It is indeed going to be very slimey rotten year in democratville.
