The Senate Interior Committee backed a plan to form the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park in Maryland near Washington. The park would cover about 4.80 acres and run along the old canal from the terminus near Great Falls on the Potomac to Cumberland, linking key canal landmarks and scenic routes. The measure also proposes a long scenic parkway from Maryland Route 28 to Pew Paw, W Virginia, and honors Dr. Mary Walker as an early recipient of the Medal of Honor for medical service during the War Between the States.
