integrally to the vitality of the automobile industry, which
employs millions of workers and upon which 1 out of 7 United
States jobs depends;
(5) the industrial and cultural heritage of the automobile
industry in Michigan includes the social history and living
cultural traditions of several generations;
(6) the United Auto Workers and other unions played a
significant role in the history and progress of the labor
movement and the automobile industry;
(7) the Department of the Interior is responsible for
protecting and interpreting the Nation's cultural and historic
resources, and there are significant examples of these resources
within Michigan to merit the involvement of the Federal
Government to develop programs and projects in cooperation with
the Automobile National Heritage Area Partnership, Incorporated,
the State of Michigan, and other local and governmental bodies,
to adequately conserve, protect, and interpret
[[Page 112 STAT. 3248]]
this heritage for the educational and recreational benefit of
this and future generations of Americans;

(1) Historic site.--The term ``historic site'' means the
Tuskegee Airmen National Historic Site as established by section
303.
(2) Secretary.--The term ``Secretary'' means the Secretary
of the Interior.
(3) Tuskegee airmen.--The term ``Tuskegee Airmen'' means the

University's Moton Field to serve in America's African-American
Air Force units during World War II and those men and women who
participate in the Tuskegee Experience today, who are
represented by Tuskegee Airmen, Inc.
(4) Tuskegee university.--The term ``Tuskegee University''
means the institution of higher education by that name located
in the State of Alabama and founded by Booker T. Washington in
1881, formerly named Tuskegee Institute.
SEC. 302. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.
(a) Findings.--The Congress finds the following:
(1) The struggle of African-Americans for greater roles in
North American military conflicts spans the 17th, 18th, 19th,
and 20th centuries. Opportunities for African-American
participation in the United States military were always very
limited and controversial. Quotas, exclusion, and racial
discrimination were based on the prevailing attitude in the
United States, particularly on the part of the United States
military, that African-Americans did not possess the
intellectual capacity, aptitude, and skills to be successful
fighters.
(2) As late as the 1940's these perceptions continued within
the United States military. Key leaders within the United States
Army Air Corps did not believe that African-Americans possessed
the capacity to become successful military pilots. After
succumbing to pressure exerted by civil rights groups and the
black press, the Army decided to train a small number of
African-American pilot cadets under special conditions. Although
prejudice and discrimination against African-Americans was a
national phenomenon, not just a southern trait, it was more
intense in the South where it had hardened into rigidly enforced
patterns of segregation. Such was the environment where the
military chose to locate the training of the Tuskegee Airmen.
(3) The military selected Tuskegee Institute (now known as
Tuskegee University) as a civilian contractor for a variety of
reasons. These included the school's existing facilities,
engineering and technical instructors, and a climate with ideal
flying conditions year round. Tuskegee Institute's strong
interest in providing aeronautical training for African-American
youths was also an important factor. Students from the school's
civilian pilot training program had some of the best test scores
when compared to other students from programs across the
Southeast.
[[Page 112 STAT. 3255]]
(4) In 1941 the United States Army Air Corps awarded a
contract to Tuskegee Institute to operate a primary flight
school at Moton Field. Tuskegee Institute (now known as Tuskegee
University) chose an African-American contractor who designed
and constructed Moton Field, with the assistance of its faculty
and students, as the site for its military pilot training
program. <<NOTE: Robert Russa Moton.>> The field was named for
the school's second president, Robert Russa Moton. Consequently,
Tuskegee Institute was one of a very few American institutions
(and the only African-American institution) to own, develop, and
control facilities for military flight instruction.
(5) Moton Field, also known as the Primary Flying Field or
Airport Number 2, was the only primary flight training facility
for African-American pilot candidates in the United States Army
Air Corps during World War II. The facility symbolizes the
entrance of African-American pilots into the United States Army
Air Corps, although on the basis of a policy of segregation that
was mandated by the military and institutionalized in the South.
The facility also symbolizes the singular role of Tuskegee
Institute (Tuskegee University) in providing leadership as well
as economic and educational resources to make that entry
possible.
(6) The Tuskegee Airmen were the first African-American
soldiers to complete their training successfully and to enter
the United States Army Air Corps. Almost 1,000 aviators were
trained as America's first African-American military pilots. In
addition, more than 10,000 military and civilian African-
American men and women served as flight instructors, officers,
bombardiers, navigators, radio technicians, mechanics, air
traffic controllers, parachute riggers, electrical and
communications specialists, medical professionals, laboratory
assistants, cooks, musicians, supply, firefighting, and
transportation personnel.
(7) Although military leaders were hesitant to use the
Tuskegee Airmen in combat, the Airmen eventually saw
considerable action in North Africa and Europe. Acceptance from
United States Army Air Corps units came slowly, but their
courageous and, in many cases, heroic performance earned them
increased combat opportunities and respect.
(8) <<NOTE: Harry S. Truman.>> The successes of the Tuskegee
Airmen proved to the American public that African-Americans,
when given the opportunity, could become effective military
leaders and pilots. This helped pave the way for desegregation
of the military, beginning with President Harry S. Truman's
Executive Order 9981 in 1948. The Tuskegee Airmen's success also
helped set the stage for civil rights advocates to continue the
struggle to end racial discrimination during the civil rights
movement of the 1950's and 1960's.
(9) The story of the Tuskegee Airmen also reflects the
struggle of African-Americans to achieve equal rights, not only
through legal attacks on the system of segregation, but also
through the techniques of nonviolent direct action. The members
of the 477th Bombardment Group, who staged a nonviolent
demonstration to desegregate the officer's club at Freeman
Field, Indiana, helped set the pattern for direct action
protests popularized by civil rights activists in later decades.
(b) Purposes.--The purposes of this title are the following:
[[Page 112 STAT. 3256]]
(1) To inspire present and future generations to strive for
excellence by understanding and appreciating the heroic legacy
of the Tuskegee Airmen, through interpretation and education,
and the preservation of cultural resources at Moton Field, which
was the site of primary flight training.
(2) To commemorate and interpret--
(A) the impact of the Tuskegee Airmen during World
War II;
(B) the training process for the Tuskegee Airmen,
including the roles played by Moton Field, other
training facilities, and related sites;
(C) the African-American struggle for greater
participation in the United States Armed Forces and more
significant roles in defending their country;
(D) the significance of successes of the Tuskegee
Airmen in leading to desegregation of the United States
Armed Forces shortly after World War II; and
(E) the impacts of Tuskegee Airmen accomplishments
on subsequent civil rights advances of the 1950's and
1960's.
(3) To recognize the strategic role of Tuskegee Institute
(now Tuskegee University) in training the airmen and
commemorating them at this historic site.
SEC. 303. ESTABLISHMENT OF TUSKEGEE AIRMEN NATIONAL HISTORIC SITE.
(a) Establishment.--In order to commemorate and interpret, in

SEC. 505. <<NOTE: California.>> ROSIE THE RIVETER NATIONAL PARK SERVICE
AFFILIATED SITE.
(a) Findings.--The Congress finds the following:
(1) The City of Richmond, California, is located on the
northeastern shore of San Francisco Bay and consists of several
miles of waterfront which have been used for shipping and
industry since the beginning of the 20th century. During the
years of World War II, the population of Richmond grew from 220
to over 100,000.
(2) An area of Richmond, California, now known as Marina
Park and Marina Green, was the location in the 1940's of the
Richmond Kaiser Shipyards, which produced Liberty and Victory
ships during World War II.
(3) Thousands of women of all ages and ethnicities moved
from across the United States to Richmond, California, in search
of high paying jobs and skills never before available to women
in the shipyards.
[[Page 112 STAT. 3263]]
(4) Kaiser Corporation supported women workers by installing
child care centers at the shipyards so mothers could work while
their children were well cared for nearby.
(5) These women, referred to as ``Rosie the Riveter'' and
``Wendy the Welder'', built hundreds of Liberty and Victory
ships in record time for use by the United States Navy. Their
labor played a crucial role in increasing American productivity
during the war years and in meeting the demand for naval ships.
(6) In part the Japanese plan to defeat the United States
Navy was predicated on victory occurring before United States
shipyards could build up its fleet of ships.
(7) The City of Richmond, California, has dedicated the
former site of Kaiser Shipyard #2 as Rosie the Riveter Memorial
Park and will construct a memorial honoring American women's
labor during World War II. The memorial will be representative
of one of the Liberty ships built on the site during the war
effort.
(8) The City of Richmond, California, is committed to
collective interpretative oral histories for the public to learn
of the stories of the ``Rosies'' and ``Wendys'' who worked in
the shipyards.
(9) The Rosie the Riveter Park is a nationally significant
site because there tens of thousands of women entered the
workforce for the first time, working in heavy industry to
support their families and the War effort. This was a turning
point for the Richmond, California, area and the Nation as a
whole, when women joined the workforce and successfully
completed jobs for which previously it was believed they were
incapable.
(b) Study.--
(1) In general.--The Secretary of the Interior shall conduct
a feasibility study to determine whether--
(A) the Rosie the Riveter Park located in Richmond,
California, is suitable for designation as an affiliated
site to the National Park Service; and
(B) the Rosie the Riveter Memorial Committee
established by the City of Richmond, California, with
respect to that park is eligible for technical
assistance for interpretative functions relating to the
park, including preservation of oral histories from
former works at the Richmond Kaiser Shipyards.
(2) Reports.--Not <<NOTE: Deadlne.>> later than 6 months
after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall

study to the Committee on Resources of the House of
