PURPOSE OF THE BILL
The purpose of H.R. 2512 is to amend the National Trails System

Chisholm NHT, which was most heavily used by ranchers and dro-
vers to move cattle to market between 1867 and 1884, would ex-
tend along a route of approximately 1,378 miles from Kingsville,
Texas, through Cuero and San Antonio, Texas, and northward
through Oklahoma to Abilene, Kansas. The Western NHT, which
was most heavily used by ranchers and drovers between 1874 and
1897, would extend along a route of approximately 1,350 miles
from Kingsville, Texas, northward through Oklahoma and Dodge
City, Kansas, to Ogallala, Nebraska.
