A report by KFGO News says Congress passed legislation directing the Park Service to keep horses in Theodore Roosevelt National Park.
A report by WZFG News says the bill directs the National Park Service to maintain “the historic scene commensurate with the historic herds during the period when President Theodore Roosevelt was a rancher in the area.”
A search of Congress.gov for “historic scene commensurate” yielded only one result, a report accompanying a FY24 spending bill for the Department of the Interior.
The language appears on page 40 of the pdf.
