Speaker. State and Federal officials feel that this legislation is necessary to complete the orderly development of the border area at El Paso. Our Government has developed extensive border crossing facilities in the area: The El Paso Independent School District has laid plans for developing a large high schoolvocational school in the area. and this Congress approved. in 1966. the establishment of the Chamizal National Memorial on 55 acres of the land. under legislation which I introduced. It is highly important that none of these projects be delayed through any legal doubts of the sovereignty over the area involved. This legislation will assure that. without affecting ownership of any of the land Involved. it will be legally a geographical part of the city of El Paso. the county of El Paso. and the State of Texas.
