The Chairman. Gentlemen, we have a quorum here. We may as well begin the hearing. The clerk will read the bill which gives cause for this meeting, the bill upon which our friends desire to be heard. The clerk read the bill (S. 614) to establish a national military park at Valley Forge, Pa., as follows: Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That upon the State of Pennsylvania ceding to the United States the land held by it, being part of the camp ground of General Washington at Valley Forge, and jurisdiction thereover as well as over such other land as may be acquired pursuant to the provisions of this act, the President is hereby authorized to appoint ten commissioners, to be known as commissioners of the Valley Forge National Military Park, to locate definitely and by metes and bounds, the territory occupied by George Washington as a camping ground at Valley Forge, in the State of Pennsylvania; the said commissioners shall have their office in Philadelphia, in the State of Pennsylvania, and while on duty shall be paid such compensation out of the appropriation provided in this act as the Secretary of War shall deem reasonable and just. Sec. 2. That there is hereby appropriated the sum of two hundred thousand dollars, out of any money in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated, or so much thereof as may be necessary, to be expended in acquiring for the United States, by purchase or condemnation, the territory so located by said commissioners, and for the improvement of said territory, and the said territory so acquired shall be designated and known as the Valley Forge National Military Park. The Chairman. Ladies and gentlemen, we are very glad to see you. Speaking for myself, I am a friend of Philadelphia and everybody in the neighborhood, and a friend of this enterprise. Who shall speak for you, as they say, to a jury? Statement Of Mr. John Cadwallader, President Of The Valley Forge National Park Association. Mr. Cadwallader. Mr. Chairman, I will make a few remarks. The Chairman. You are the president of this association? Mr. Cadwallader. I am the acting president of the organization called the Valley Forge National Park Association. It is perhaps better that I should state the character of that association, and to show you how little it is individually interested.
