This Act may be cited as the ''Fort Clatsop National Memorial
Expansion Act of 1998''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

The Congress finds the following:
(1) The cross-country expedition of Meriwether Lewis and
William Clark, known as ''The Corps of Discovery'', was a very
important exploratory journey in American history that provided
invaluable geographic, scientific, and cultural information.
(2) In 1805, the members of the Lewis and Clark Expedition
built Fort Clatsop at the mouth of the Columbia River near
Astoria, Oregon, where they spent 106 days waiting for the end
of winter and preparing for their journey home.
(3) As the westernmost point and the second longest
stopover of the expedition, and as the site where Lewis and
Clark edited their journals and prepared many of their maps,
Fort Clatsop is a uniquely special place in the journey of
Lewis and Clark.
(4) The Fort Clatsop National Memorial was created by
Congress in 1958 for the purpose of commemorating the
culmination, and the winter encampment, of the Lewis and Clark
Expedition following its successful crossing of the North
American continent, and is the only National Park Service site
solely dedicated to the Lewis and Clark Expedition.
(5) The 1995 General Management Plan for the Fort Clatsop
National Memorial, prepared with input from the local
community, calls for the addition of lands to the memorial to
include the trail used by expedition members to travel from the
fort to the Pacific Ocean and to include the shore and forest
lands surrounding the fort and trail to protect their natural
settings.
(6) Expansion of the Fort Clatsop National Memorial would
require Federal legislation because the size of the memorial is
currently limited by statute to 130 acres.
(7) Congressional action to allow for the expansion of Fort
Clatsop would be both timely and appropriate before the start
of the national bicentennial celebration of the Lewis and Clark
Expedition planned to take place during the years 2004 through
2006.
