Mr. Speaker, I move to suspend the rules and pass the Senate bill (S. 1848) to amend the Bend Pine Nursery Land Conveyance Act to direct the Secretary of Agriculture to sell the Bend Pine Nursery Administrative Site in the State of Oregon.

Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that all Members may have 5 legislative days within which to revise and extend their remarks and include extraneous material on S. 1848.

Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.

Mr. Speaker, S. 1848, introduced by Senator Ron Wyden of Oregon, would amend the Bend Pine Nursery Land Conveyance Act to specify the recipients and consideration for conveyance of the Bend Pine Nursery, and for other purposes.

This bill will bring closure to an administrative process that has already taken far too long to complete. Specifically, the bill will convey 170 acres of the Bend Pine Nursery site to the Bend metro Parks and Recreation District and would also convey an additional 15 acres to the Bend-LaPine School District to construct an elementary school. The bill also contains a reference to an updated Forest Service map, at the request of the administration.

Just last month, the House passed the companion to this bill, H.R. 3505, introduced by the gentleman from Oregon (Mr. Walden). Unfortunately, the House bill has been held back at the desk of the other body for unrelated political collateral. Recognizing the importance and merits of this legislation, regardless of the bill number, the gentleman from Oregon (Mr. Walden) has strongly pushed the movement of the Senate bill. This will end petty partisanship and will instead pass fair-minded legislation benefiting the State of Oregon.

I urge adoption of this bill.

Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.

Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.

Mr. Speaker, I also would like to thank my colleague and friend, the gentleman from West Virginia (Mr. Rahall) for his professionalism on this bill. I would urge an aye vote.

Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.

paragraph.

``(1) Conveyance to school district.--As soon as
practicable after the receipt by the Bend Metro Park and
