WHEREAS, the Land Between the Lakes Recreation Area encompassing portions of Lyon and Trigg Counties in Kentucky and Stewart County in Tennessee was created by the federal government as a beautiful, scenic recreational area to be enjoyed by many; and WHEREAS, prior to the land's acquisition by the federal government, generations of families inhabited this land, dating back to the first white settlers in the area; and WHEREAS, in acquiring the land, families with strong ancestral ties to the land were displaced; and WHEREAS, from its inception in 1964 and throughout the creation of the Land Between the Lakes Recreation Area, assurances were made to those displaced and remaining alike, and among the most sacred was a promise to provide access to and entrust the care of the 250 or so cemeteries there to the relatives, friends, and cemetery associations; and WHEREAS, this policy recognized the sanctity of the family by permitting additional burials if space was available, and it remained in place until 2001; and WHEREAS, the management of the Land Between the Lakes was changed from the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) to the U.S. Department of Agriculture

    Democrats for Life of America’s Pro-Life Priority Candidates David Boswell (KY-02) Bobby Bright (AL-02) Kathy Dahlkemper (PA-03) Steve Driehaus (OH-01) Jim Esch (NE-02) These races are the five best chances we have to put pro-life Democrats in currently Republican-held seats, but the candidates need your help to win in November. With less than 35 days until the election, there is no time to wait to ensure that we expand the ranks of pro-life members of Congress. This is the final stretch, act now! Paid for by Democrats for Life of America, Inc. and authorized by David Boswell for Congress, Bright for Congress, Kathy Dahlkemper for Congress, Driehaus for Congress, Jim Esch for Congress Contributions or gifts are not deductible for federal tax purposes. Printed in house. David Boswell (KY-02) OPEN SEAT: Ron Lewis Democratic Performance: 47.3% 2004 Kerry: 34.4% 2000 Recalculated Gore: 37.4% 2006 Election Results: Lewis - 55% Weaver - 44% Political Background: David Boswell, a State Senator from Owensboro, Kentucky, is running for the seat left open by retiring Representative Ron Lewis. Boswell is well known in the district as a strong, independent leader who stands up for the values of the people he represents. Kentucky has had a long Democratic tradition and voted for President Clinton twice. The 2007 Governors showed just how well Democrats can compete in Kentucky with Democrat Steve Beshear unseating Republican Governor Ernie Fletcher. Recent internal polling by the campaign shows Boswell up by 8 points in an initial head-to-head against Republican opponent Brett Guthrie.

Dixon Chairman, Defense Base Closure and Realignment Commission This is a supplement to our report entitled Military Bases: Analysis of DOD’s 1995 Process and Recommendations for Closure and Realignment (GAO/NSIAD-95-133, Apr. 14, 1995). Many interested parties, including Members of Congress, have sent us correspondence on base closures. Several of these letters were from multiple requesters and included attachments of data, analyses, and/or evaluations. In some instances, the letters and material provided useful leads. In other cases, the material added support to issues we were actively pursuing. We could not follow up on many of the issues or points because of the limited time available to us. However, we believe that the letters and materials may be helpful to the Commission as it considers the proposed closures and realignments. Consequently, we are providing all of the letters and materials to the Commission for consideration. Appendix I contains copies of the letters and some of the materials we received. We are sending copies of this supplement to the Chairmen, Senate Committee on Appropriations, Subcommittee on Defense; Senate Committee on Armed Services; House Committee on Appropriations, Subcommittee on National Security; House Committee on National Security; individual Members of Congress; the Secretaries of Defense, the Army, the Navy, and the Air Force; and the Directors of the Defense Logistics Agency and the Defense Investigative Service.
