MAY 9, 2017.-Ordered to be printed
Ms. MURKOWSKI, from the Committee on Energy and Natural
Resources, submitted the following
REPORT
[To accompany S. 729]
[Including Cost Estimate of the Congressional Budget Office]
The Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, to which was
referred the bill (S. 729) to authorize the Secretary of the Interior
to acquire approximately 44 acres of land in Martinez, California,
for inclusion in the John Muir National Historic site, and for other
purposes, having considered the same, reports favorably thereon
without amendment and recommends that the bill do pass.
PURPOSE
The purpose of S. 729 is to acquire approximately 44 acres of
land in Martinez, California, for inclusion in the John Muir Na-
tional Historic Site.
BACKGROUND AND NEED
The John Muir National Historic Site was established by Con-
gress in 1964 (Public Law 88-547) and is located in the San Fran-
cisco Bay Area, in Martinez, California. The historic site preserves
the 14-room Italianate Victorian mansion where the naturalist and
writer John Muir lived, as well as a nearby 325-acre tract of native
oak woodlands and grasslands historically owned by the Muir fam-
ily.
The legislation would authorize the Department of the Interior
to acquire by donation approximately 44 acres for inclusion in the
John Muir National Historic Site. The 44 acres includes adjacent
lands from John Swett's historic estate, who was also a farmer,
friend, and neighbor of John Muir in the Alhambra Valley hills. Se-
