HRES 1444 United States House · 119th Congress

Expressing support for maintaining the designation of the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area.

This resolution expresses the sense of the House of Representatives in support of keeping the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area in its current designation rather than redesignating it as a national park and preserve. The bill directly affects the area's management structure and the surrounding communities in New Jersey and Pennsylvania by opposing changes that could restrict recreational activities like hunting and fishing. It argues that maintaining the existing status preserves the cooperative relationship between federal agencies and local municipalities while avoiding potential economic strain on the region. Additionally, the resolution directs that no funds be used to support any efforts to change the area's classification.
