There is no good reason for the expenditure of these funds. expecially at a time when we face the possibility of actually closing down national parks. I want to remind my colleagues that there had been an ongoing effort over the past few years by New Jersey to build a permanent bridge between New Jersey and the island. I strongly oppose this amendment. Mr. Chairman. as the gateway for more than 12 million immigrants between 1982 and 1954. Ellis Island holds a unique position in our Nations history. While I certainly share the desire to promote visitor access in the Island.
