Bill > S1771

This bill authorizes the museum located at the Blytheville/Eaker Air Force Base in Blytheville, Arkansas to be referred to as the "National Cold War Center". The bill outlines several findings, including that the museum is managed by a non-profit organization, that it will be a major tourist attraction providing an immersive and authoritative experience on the legacy of the Cold War, and that there is an urgent need to preserve the stories, artifacts, and achievements of the Cold War period. The purposes of the bill are to ensure the continuing preservation and interpretation of the museum's collection, enhance public knowledge of the U.S. experience during the Cold War, provide a facility for public display of Cold War-related artifacts and histories, and ensure future generations understand the sacrifices made to preserve freedom and democracy.
