                the historic contributions that women have made to all 
                aspects of human endeavor; and
                    (B) to explore and present in a fair and balanced 
                way information relating to the contributions that 
                women have made to the United States through the 
                various roles that women have assumed in families and 
                in society;
            (2) in March 1999, the President's Commission on the 
        Celebration of Women in American History--
                    (A) concluded that ``efforts to implement an 
                appropriate celebration of women's history in the next 
                millennium should include the designation of a focal 
                point for women's history in our nation's capital . . 
                .''; and
                    (B) cited the efforts of the National Women's

        collect and preserve documents, publications, and research 
        relating to women;
            (4) through the promotion of imaginative educational 
        approaches that are designed to enhance the understanding and 
        appreciation of historic contributions by women, the National 
        Women's History Museum would foster educational programs 
        relating to the historical contributions that were made by 
        women to society;
            (5) the National Women's History Museum would publicly 
        display temporary and permanent exhibits that illustrate, 
        interpret, and demonstrate the historic contributions of women;
            (6) the National Women's History Museum would attract 
        approximately 1,500,000 visitors to the District of Columbia 
        each year; and
            (7) the National Women's History Museum would promote 
        economic activity in the District of Columbia by--
                    (A) creating jobs;
                    (B) increasing visitor spending on hotels, meals, 
                and transportation; and
