Bill > S603

This bill designates the General George C. Marshall House, located in Leesburg, Virginia, as an affiliated area of the National Park System to recognize the significant historical contributions of George C. Marshall, a prominent United States military leader and statesman. The affiliated area will include the property as shown on a specific map dated September 2023, and will be managed by the George C. Marshall International Center with oversight from the Secretary of the Interior. The Secretary can provide technical assistance and enter into cooperative agreements to support the area's marketing, marking, interpretation, and preservation, but is explicitly prohibited from acquiring property or assuming full financial responsibility for the site's operations. The goal is to promote public appreciation of Marshall's legacy while maintaining the site's management primarily through the international center, with the National Park Service playing a supportive but limited role in preserving and highlighting the historical significance of the property.
