FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
JULY 4, 1976
OFFICE OF THE WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY
(Valley Forge, Pennsylvania)
THE WHITE HOUSE
REMARKS OF THE PRESIDENT
UPON SIGNING H.R. 5621
VALLEY FORGE STATE PARK
9:40 A.M. EDT
Governor Shapp, Senator Scott, Senator Schweiker,
Congressman Schulze, Secretary Kleppe, distinguished guests:
This is a great privilege for me, to sign this
very important bill on George Washington's desk. I am
deeply grateful because of the strong Congressional
support. Over a long period of years, Senator Scott,
Senator Schweiker, Congressman Schulze and many others
took the lead and the net result is that under this legis-
lation the Federal Government will take over this historic
site and it will be known as the Valley Forge National
Historic Park.
It will be a great tribute to those I mentioned
in my remarks and those who gave so much, and the sacrifices
they made.
So, I congratulate you, Scott, I congratulate
the other Members of the House and Senate who did such a
fine job in making this signing possible.
Governor, we are delighted to take over and make
certain that the good work of the State of Pennsylvania
is carried on and that this historic site will become
another in the complex of national historic sites for
the preservation of those things that mean so much to us,
those sites that contribute so significantly to our
national history and our national progress.
Thank you very much.
END
(AT 9:43 A.M. EDT)
