Excerpt from Impacts of the Closure of Pennsylvania Avenue on the District of Columbia: Hearing Before the Subcommittee on the District of Columbia of the Committee on Government Reform and Oversight, House of Representatives, One Hundred Fourth Congress, Second Session, June 7, 1996 Staff present: Ron Hamm, staff director; Howard Denis, counsel; Anne Mack, professional staff member; Ellen Brown, clerk; and Cedric Hendricks and Kimberly Williams, minority professional staff members. Mr. Davis. Good morning; welcome to our oversight hearing on the Federal response to the impacts on the District Of Columbia of the closing Of Pennsylvania Avenue, and the potential impacts Of the anti-terrorism Act. The executive and legislative branches have been very careful in not allowing the District to adversely impact the Federal Govern ment. It is therefore incumbent upon the Federal Government, in assessing whatever its policy may be for Pennsylvania Avenue, to make sure that it is not acting unilaterally to adversely affect the District of Columbia. Rather, the Federal Government should assist the District in adjusting to Federal requirements. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
