                                     the Union and ordered to be printed


                     Mr. BISHOP of Utah, from the Committee on Natural Resources,
                                        submitted the following


                                           REPORT

                                         [To accompany H.R. 4202]

                             [Including cost estimate of the Congressional Budget Office]
                     The Committee  on Natural  Resources, to whom was  referred the
                   bill (H.R. 4202) to authorize the Secretary of the Interior to conduct
                   a special resource study of Fort Ontario in the State of New York,
                   having  considered the  same,  report favorably thereon  without
                   amendment   and recommend  that the bill do pass.
                                         PURPOSE  OF THE BILL
                     The purpose  of H.R. 4202 is to authorize the Secretary of the In-
                   terior to conduct a special resource study of Fort Ontario in the
                   State of New York.
                                BACKGROUND   AND NEED  FOR LEGISLATION
                     H.R. 4202  authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to initiate a
                   special resource study of Fort Ontario, a military installation in
                   Oswego,  New  York. In the study, the Secretary of the Interior will
                   evaluate the site's national significance, determine the suitability
                   and feasibility of designating Fort Ontario as a unit of the National
                   Park System,  and consider other alternatives for preservation, pro-
                   tection, and interpretation of the lands by Federal, State, or local
                   governmental  entities, or private and nonprofit organizations.
                     Fort Ontario was originally built by the British in 1755 to protect
                   the area  around  the east end  of Lake Ontario. Located  at the
                   mouth  of the Oswego River in Oswego, New  York, Fort Ontario di-
                   rectly overlooks the shores of Lake Ontario. In 1756, the French
                   Army  destroyed the fort, also known as the Fort of the Six Na-
                   tions. In 1759, the British built a much stronger and larger fort
                   on the same site.
