Thank you, y_p_w. This is the first time I've seen this legislation. Not surprisingly, it only authorizes the establishment of a Whiskeytown unit of the Whiskeytown-Shasta-Trinity National Recreation Area.

So I did not get listed as solving the puzzle? Oh well.

You were the fourth reader to solve the word cube, viewmtn. Re-check the kudos list and you will see that you are now listed where you belong. Sorry 'bout the oversight.
