Mr. HINCHEY (for himself, Mr. GILMAN, and Mrs. LOWEY) introduced the
following bill; which was referred to the Committee on Resources
A BILL
To establish the Hudson River Valley American Heritage
Area.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Hudson River Valley
American Heritage Area Act of 1995’’.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
The Congress finds the following:
(1) The Hudson River Valley between Yonkers,
New York, and Troy, New York, possesses impor-
tant historical, cultural, and natural resources, rep-
resenting themes of settlement and migration, trans-
portation, and commerce.
(2) The Hudson River Valley played an impor-
tant role in the military history of the American
Revolution.
(3) The Hudson River Valley gave birth to im-
portant movements in American art and architecture
through the work of Andrew Jackson Downing, Al-
exander Jackson Davis, Thomas Cole, and their as-
sociates, and played a central role in the recognition
of the esthetic value of the landscape and the devel-
opment of an American esthetic ideal.
(4) The Hudson River Valley played an impor-
tant role in the development of the iron, textile, and
collar and cuff industries in the 19th century, exem-
plified in surviving structures such as the Harmony
Mills complex at Cohoes, and in the development of
early men’s and women’s labor and cooperative orga-
nizations, and is the home of the first women’s labor
union and the first women’s secondary school.
(5) The Hudson River Valley, in its cities and
towns and in its rural landscapes—
(A) displays exceptional surviving physical
resources illustrating these themes and the so-
on the Residential Basement Floodproofing Certifi-
cate for the structure; and 
(6) the term ‘‘National Flood Insurance Pro-
gram’’ means the program established under the Na-
tional Flood Insurance Act of 1968 (42 U.S.C. 4001 
et seq.). 
(b) PRESERVATION
OF BASEMENT EXCEPTION.— 
Notwithstanding the Biggert-Waters Flood Insurance Re-
form Act of 2012 (Public Law 112–141; 126 Stat. 916), 
the amendments made by that Act, or any other provision 
of law, the Administrator shall rate a covered structure 
using the elevation difference between the floodproofed ele-
vation of the covered structure and the adjusted base flood 
elevation of the covered structure.
