LIBERTY THEATRE ANNEX LAND CONVEYANCE
FEBRUARY 28, 2022.-Ordered to be printed
Mr. MANCHIN, from the Committee on Energy and Natural
Resources, submitted the following
R E P O R T
[To accompany S. 1620]
[Including cost estimate of the Congressional Budget Office]
The Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, to which was
referred the bill (S. 1620), to direct the Secretary of the Interior to
convey to the city of Eunice, Louisiana, certain Federal land in the
State of Louisiana, and for other purposes, having considered the
same, reports favorably thereon without amendment and rec-
ommends that the bill do pass.
PURPOSE
The purpose of S. 1620 is to direct the Secretary of the Interior
to convey to the city of Eunice, Louisiana, the federally-owned
annex to the Liberty Theatre, located within the boundary of the
Jean Lafitte National Park and Preserve.
BACKGROUND AND NEED
The Liberty Theatre has been a staple of Eunice, Louisiana, for
nearly 100 years, hosting silent films, live bands, and other enter-
tainment. For many years, the theatre has been the site of a pop-
ular Saturday evening program of live Cajun music and dancing,
the Rendez-Vous des Cajuns.
The theatre is owned by the city of Eunice and is located adja-
cent to the National Park Service's Prairie Acadian Cultural Cen-
ter, which is a unit of Jean Lafitte National Historical Park. Al-
though the city owns the theatre, in 1989 the National Park Serv-
ice constructed an annex to the theatre to provide American Dis-
ability Act-compliant handicap accessible ramps and restrooms,
