George Radanovich [Chairman of the Sub- committee] presiding. STATEMENT OF THE HON. GEORGE P. RADANOVICH, A REPRESENTATIVE IN CONGRESS FROM THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA Mr. RADANOVICH. Good morning. My name is George Radano- vich. I’m a Member of Congress from California and Chairman of the Subcommittee of National Parks and Recreation and Public Lands, which is a Subcommittee of the Committee on Resources in Washington, D.C. Can everybody hear me OK? Good morning. Is that better? My name is George Radanovich. I’m Member of Congress from California. I represent California and the Yosemite National Park, and I’m Chairman of the National Parks Subcommittee of the Committee on Resources. And I want to welcome everybody here today to our hearing, and just kind of wanting to go over a couple of ground rules about how the hearing is going to work, what a hearing is and what it is not, and then go and probably read the same thing in my official statement, but I just want to make sure everybody’s clear how this hearing is going to proceed today. This is a hearing that complies with the rules of the House of Representatives. And there are certain things that we do in order to make sure that everybody’s views are entered into the Congres- sional Record. I think that’s the whole purpose of a hearing, is to make sure that things get into the Congressional Record about any particular issue.

So a cou- ple things that we would ask the audience to refrain from doing would be cheering or applauding, or rooting for your side or things like that because again the purpose is to really get the information down into the record, so I would ask everybody’s indulgence on that. And we are going to have three panels of witnesses, and then after that, as a special request from Congresswoman Cubin, we will, at the end of the hearing, open up the floor to give people the opportunity to speak. Unfortunately, people have airplane tickets, planes to catch. My son has his birthday party

Boggs December 2012 Boggsville Reconnaissance Study, History, and Evaluation of Significance Bent County, Colorado Background his reconnaissance study was prepared by the National Park Service (NPS) at T the request of U.S. Representative Cory Gardner (CO), who asked the NPS to evaluate Boggsville, Colorado, as a potential new unit of the park service.1 Boggsville, which is in Bent County, Colorado, is a 39-acre historic district that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986; that nomination determined that Boggsville had a state level of significance. The purpose of the NPS reconnaissance study was to determine if Boggsville also met NPS criteria for national significance. If deemed nationally significant, Boggsville could then be further considered as a National Historic Landmark, or as a potential unit of the NPS. The primary contributing buildings at Boggsville include the Thomas O. Boggs home and the John W. Prowers house. The Pioneer Historical Society of Bent County acquired Boggsville in 1985. The site consists of 110 acres of land, of which 39 acres are associated with the Boggsville settlement. Thomas Boggs Home - NPS Photo, Greg Kendrick The history and evaluation of national significance was prepared by historian and PhD candidate Steven C. Baker, under the supervision of Dr. Ralph Mann, associate professor, Department of History, University of Colorado Boulder, working in cooperation with the Heritage Partnerships Program of the NPS Intermountain Region. 1 Cory Gardner, Member of Congress, House of Representatives, letter to Jon Jarvis, Director, U.S.
