Congressman Urges Nixon to Use Battlefield Land for Cemetery
Congressman George Goodling asks President Nixon to designate part of the battlefield as an annex to the National Cemetery here. He argues the land now overgrown could serve the dead and notes higher maintenance cost but greater public value. Nixon’s stance on enlarging national cemeteries, and the Kennedy era ban, remains unsettled. President Nixon’s grandfather, George Nixon, is buried at Gettysburg National Cemetery.
