This vote was on an amendment by Tom Coburn, R-Okla., that would prohibit National Park Service employees or those affiliated with a National Heritage Area from entering into private land located in a National Heritage Area without written consent. The amendment was offered to a bill that consolidates some 60 different federal lands measures, dealing with national parks issues to boundary adjustments on federal land, including one that would create or expand certain geographic regions as National Heritage Areas. This designation would allow local governments or nonprofit organizations to coordinate historical and cultural activities in those areas, with the assistance of the National Park Service.
