H.R. Bill 8998 passed in the House on Thursday, July 25th. This is a HUGE step for DEWA protective legislation."Gottheimer’s second amendment will prevent the National Park Service from designating any part of the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area as a National Park. Gottheimer has worked closely with local officials and community leaders across the Fifth District for years to block any redesignation of the Delaware Water Gap over capacity concerns.“I am proud to have two of my amendments, focused on Holocaust education and the preservation of the Delaware Water Gap, included in the House’s interior & environment appropriations package. My amendment on Holocaust education reflects my belief that we must teach future generations about the evil of the Holocaust to combat the surging antisemitism that we see nationwide. Beyond that, my Delaware Water Gap amendment reflects the conversations that I’ve had with local leaders and constituents for years,” said Congressman Josh Gottheimer (NJ-5). “I will continue to work across the aisle to ensure that our country stands against hate and that North Jersey’s interests are represented in the halls of Congress.”
