      Words "Coast and Interior Survey" appearing in act Mar. 3, 1879,
    were in prior editions of the Code changed to "Coast and Geodetic
    Survey." Congress never created a Coast and Interior Survey. In a
    communication dated Nov. 6, 1940, the Director of the Geological
    Survey explained that the words "Coast and Interior Survey" were
    inadvertently incorporated upon authority of report contained in
    Senate Misc. Doc. No. 9, 45th Congress, 3d Session, which
    recommended the "Coast and Geodetic Survey" be changed to "United
    States Coast and Interior Survey" and an organization be created in
    the Interior Department to be known as the "United States
    Geological Survey." Congress adopted only the latter suggestion.

    Sec. 76o. Borrowing authority to finance parking facilities

-STATUTE-
    (a) Revenue bonds
      To finance necessary parking facilities for the Center, the Board
    may issue revenue bonds to the Secretary of the Treasury payable
    from revenues accruing to the Board. The total face value of all
    bonds so issued shall not be greater than $20,400,000. Such
    obligations shall have maturities agreed upon by the Board and the
    Secretary of the Treasury but not in excess of fifty years. Such
    obligations may be redeemable at the option of the Board before
    maturity in such manner as may be stipulated in such obligations,
    but the obligations thus redeemed shall not be refinanced by the
    Board. The Secretary of the Treasury is authorized and directed to
    purchase any obligations of the Board to be issued under this
    section and for such purpose the Secretary of the Treasury is
    authorized to use as a public debt transaction the proceeds from
    the sale of any securities issued under chapter 31 of title 31 and
    the purposes for which securities may be issued under chapter 31 of
    title 31 are extended to include any purchases of the Board's
    obligations under this section.
    (b) Interest
      Effective as of October 12, 1984, the obligations of the Board
    incurred under subsection (a) of this section shall bear no
    interest, and the requirement of the Board to pay the unpaid
    interest which has accrued on such obligations is terminated.
    (c) Kennedy Center Revenue Bond Sinking Fund
      There is hereby established in the Treasury of the United States
    a sinking fund, the Kennedy Center Revenue Bond Sinking Fund
    (hereinafter referred to as the "Fund"), which shall be used to
    retire the obligations of the Board incurred under subsection (a)
    of this section upon the respective maturities of such obligations.
    The Board shall pay into the Fund, beginning on January 1, 1987 and
    ending on January 1, 2016, the annual sum of $200,000 in
    amortization of the principal amount of the obligations. Such sums
    shall be invested by the Secretary of the Treasury in public debt
    securities with maturities suitable for the needs of the Fund and
    bearing interest at rates determined by the Secretary of the
    Treasury, taking into consideration the current average market
    yield on outstanding marketable obligations of the United States of
    comparable maturities. The interest on such investments shall be
    credited to and form a part of the Fund. Moneys in the Fund shall
    be used exclusively to retire the obligations of the Board incurred
    under subsection (a) of this section. Adjustments of not greater
    than plus or minus 5 per centum may be made from time to time in
    the annual payments to the Fund in order to correct any gains or
    deficiencies as a result of fluctuations in interest rates over the
    life of the investments: Provided, however, That a final adjustment
    shall be made between the Board and the Secretary of the Treasury
    at the end of the amortization period to correct any overall gain
    or deficiency in the Fund. The terms of this adjustment shall be
    covered by a memorandum of understanding between the Board and the
    Secretary of the Treasury to be consummated on or before the time
    the initial payment into the Fund is made.

    Sec. 80q. Findings

-STATUTE-
      The Congress finds that - 
        (1) there is no national museum devoted exclusively to the
      history and art of cultures indigenous to the Americas;
        (2) although the Smithsonian Institution sponsors extensive
      Native American programs, none of its 19 museums, galleries, and
      major research facilities is devoted exclusively to Native
      American history and art;
        (3) the Heye Museum in New York, New York, one of the largest
      Native American collections in the world, has more than 1,000,000
      art objects and artifacts and a library of 40,000 volumes
      relating to the archaeology, ethnology, and history of Native
      American peoples;
        (4) the Heye Museum is housed in facilities with a total area
      of 90,000 square feet, but requires a minimum of 400,000 square
      feet for exhibition, storage, and scholarly research;
        (5) the bringing together of the Heye Museum collection and the
      Native American collection of the Smithsonian Institution would -
      
          (A) create a national institution with unrivaled capability
        for exhibition and research;
          (B) give all Americans the opportunity to learn of the
        cultural legacy, historic grandeur, and contemporary culture of
        Native Americans;
          (C) provide facilities for scholarly meetings and the
        performing arts;
          (D) make available curatorial and other learning
        opportunities for Indians; and
          (E) make possible traveling exhibitions to communities
        throughout the Nation;

        (6) by order of the Surgeon General of the Army, approximately
      4,000 Indian human remains from battlefields and burial sites
      were sent to the Army Medical Museum and were later transferred
      to the Smithsonian Institution;
        (7) through archaeological excavations, individual donations,
      and museum donations, the Smithsonian Institution has acquired
      approximately 14,000 additional Indian human remains;
        (8) the human remains referred to in paragraphs (6) and (7)
      have long been a matter of concern for many Indian tribes,
      including Alaska Native Villages, and Native Hawaiian communities
      which are determined to provide an appropriate resting place for
      their ancestors;
        (9) identification of the origins of such human remains is
      essential to addressing that concern; and
        (10) an extraordinary site on the National Mall in the District
      of Columbia (U.S. Government Reservation No. 6) is reserved for
      the use of the Smithsonian Institution and is available for
      construction of the National Museum of the American Indian.

      "SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
      "This Act may be cited as the 'Native American Veterans' Memorial
    Establishment Act of 1994'.

      "SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
      "The Congress finds the following:
        "(1) Native Americans across the Nation - Indians, Native
      Alaskans, and Native Hawaiians - have a long, proud and
      distinguished tradition of service in the Armed Forces of the
      United States.
        "(2) Native Americans have historically served in the Armed
      Forces of the United States in numbers which far exceed their
      representation in the population of the United States.
        "(3) Native American veterans count among themselves a number
      of Medal of Honor recipients. Their numbers are also conspicuous
      in the ranks of those who have received other decorations for
      valor and distinguished service.
        "(4) Native Americans have lost their lives in the service of
      their Nation and in the cause of peace.
        "(5) The National Museum of the American Indian was established
      as a living memorial to Native Americans. Its mission is to
      advance knowledge and understanding of Native American cultures,
      including art, history, language, and the contributions Native
      Americans have made to our society.
        "(6) The National Museum of the American Indian is an
      extraordinary site and an ideal location to establish a National
      Native American Veterans' Memorial.
        "(7) A National Native American Veterans' Memorial would
      further the purposes of the National Museum of the American
      Indian by giving all Americans the opportunity to learn of the
      proud and courageous tradition of service of Native Americans in
      the Armed Forces of the United States.

      "SEC. 3. AUTHORITY TO ESTABLISH MEMORIAL.
      "(a) In General. - The National Museum of the American Indian
    (established by the National Museum of the American Indian Act (20
    U.S.C. 80q et seq.)), in close consultation with the National
    Congress of American Indians and other Native American groups, is
    authorized to construct and maintain a National Native American
    Veterans' Memorial (hereafter in this Act referred to as the
    'memorial').
      "(b) Location. - The memorial shall be located at a site
    determined to be suitable by the Museum within the interior
    structure of the facility provided for by section 7(a) of such Act
    (20 U.S.C. 80q-5(a)) (relating to housing the portion of the Museum
    to be located in the District of Columbia).
      "(c) Design and Plans. - (1) The National Congress of American
    Indians, in consultation with the Museum, is authorized to hold a
    competition to select the design of the Memorial. Any design so
    selected shall be compatible with both the purpose of the Museum,
    as set forth in section 3(b) of the National Museum of the American
    Indian Act (20 U.S.C. 80q-1 [(b)]), and with any existing design
    plans for the Museum's structure and its surroundings.
      "(2) Any design so selected shall be subject to the approval of
    the Board of Regents of the Smithsonian Institution.

      "SEC. 4. PAYMENT OF EXPENSES AND USE OF NAME.
      "(a) Responsibility of National Congress of American Indians. -
    The National Congress of American Indians shall be solely
    responsible for acceptance of contributions for, and payment of the
    expenses of, the establishment of the memorial. No Federal funds
    may be used to pay any expense of the establishment of the
    memorial.
      "(b) Use of Name. - Use of the name of the Smithsonian
    Institution or the National Museum of the American Indian in any
    material regarding the memorial produced by the National Congress
    of American Indians, other than in a manner simply describing the
    location of the memorial, shall be subject to consultation with,
    and the approval of, the Board of Regents of the Smithsonian
    Institution."

      remains and Indian funerary objects in possession of Smithsonian
      Institution

-STATUTE-
    (a) Inventory and identification
      (1) The Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, in consultation
    and cooperation with traditional Indian religious leaders and
    government officials of Indian tribes, shall - 
        (A) inventory the Indian human remains and Indian funerary
      objects in the possession or control of the Smithsonian
      Institution; and
        (B) using the best available scientific and historical
      documentation, identify the origins of such remains and objects.

      (2) The inventory made by the Secretary of the Smithsonian
    Institution under paragraph (1) shall be completed not later than
    June 1, 1998.
      (3) For purposes of this subsection, the term "inventory" means a
    simple, itemized list that, to the extent practicable, identifies,
    based upon available information held by the Smithsonian
    Institution, the geographic and cultural affiliation of the remains
    and objects referred to in paragraph (1).
    (b) Notice in case of identification of tribal origin
      If the tribal origin of any Indian human remains or Indian
    funerary object is identified by a preponderance of the evidence,
    the Secretary shall so notify any affected Indian tribe at the
    earliest opportunity.
    (c) Return of Indian human remains and associated Indian funerary
      objects
      If any Indian human remains are identified by a preponderance of
    the evidence as those of a particular individual or as those of an
    individual culturally affiliated with a particular Indian tribe,
    the Secretary, upon the request of the descendants of such
    individual or of the Indian tribe shall expeditiously return such
    remains (together with any associated funerary objects) to the

    culturally affiliated with a particular Indian tribe, the
    Secretary, upon the request of the Indian tribe, shall
    expeditiously return such object to the tribe.
    (e) Interpretation
      Nothing in this section shall be interpreted as - 
        (1) limiting the authority of the Smithsonian Institution to
      return or repatriate Indian human remains or Indian funerary
      objects to Indian tribes or individuals; or
        (2) delaying actions on pending repatriation requests, denying
      or otherwise affecting access to the courts, or limiting any
      procedural or substantive rights which may otherwise be secured
      to Indian tribes or individuals.
    (f) Authorization of appropriations
      There is authorized to be appropriated $1,000,000 for fiscal year
    1991 and such sums as may be necessary for succeeding fiscal years

      objects, sacred objects, and cultural patrimony

-STATUTE-
    (a) Summary
      Not later than December 31, 1996, the Secretary of the
    Smithsonian Institution shall provide a written summary that
    contains a summary of unassociated funerary objects, sacred
    objects, and objects of cultural patrimony (as those terms are
    defined in subparagraphs (B), (C), and (D), respectively, of
    section 3001(3) of title 25, based upon available information held
    by the Smithsonian Institution. The summary required under this
    section shall include, at a minimum, the information required under
    section 3004 of title 25.
    (b) Repatriation
      Where cultural affiliation of Native American unassociated
    funerary objects, sacred objects, and objects of cultural patrimony
    has been established in the summary prepared pursuant to subsection
    (a) of this section, or where a requesting Indian tribe or Native
    Hawaiian organization can show cultural affiliation by a
    preponderance of the evidence based upon geographical, kinship,
    biological, archaeological, anthropological, linguistic, folkloric,
    oral traditional, historical, or other relevant information or
    expert opinion, then the Smithsonian Institution shall
    expeditiously return such unassociated funerary object, sacred
    object, or object of cultural patrimony where - 
        (1) the requesting party is the direct lineal descendant of an
      individual who owned the unassociated funerary object or sacred
      object;
        (2) the requesting Indian tribe or Native Hawaiian organization
      can show that the object was owned or controlled by the Indian
      tribe or Native Hawaiian organization; or
        (3) the requesting Indian tribe or Native Hawaiian organization
      can show that the unassociated funerary object or sacred object
      was owned or controlled by a member thereof, provided that in the
      case where an unassociated funerary object or sacred object was
      owned by a member thereof, there are no identifiable lineal
      descendants of said member or the lineal descendants, upon
      notice, have failed to make a claim for the object.
    (c) Standard of repatriation
      If a known lineal descendant or an Indian tribe or Native
    Hawaiian organization requests the return of Native American
    unassociated funerary objects, sacred objects, or objects of
    cultural patrimony pursuant to this subchapter and presents
    evidence which, if standing alone before the introduction of
    evidence to the contrary, would support a finding that the
    Smithsonian Institution did not have the right of possession, then
    the Smithsonian Institution shall return such objects unless it can
    overcome such inference and prove that it has a right of possession
    to the objects.
    (d) Museum obligation
      Any museum of the Smithsonian Institution which repatriates any
    item in good faith pursuant to this subchapter shall not be liable
