A«gu.t 3.1956 JOINT RESOLUTION 

[s. J. Res. 114] IJQ change the name of Bedioe's Island in New York Harbor to Liberty Island. 

Whereas the Statue of Liberty is to tlxe world the symbol of the dreams 

and aspirations which have drawn so many millions of immigrants 

to America; 

Whereas to all Americans the Statue of Liberty stands eternal as the 

symbol of the freedom which has been made a living reality in the 

United States for all sorts and conditions of mankind, united in 

allegiance to the Constitution of the United States and to the 

imperishable ideals of our free society; 

Whereas the majestic meaning of the Statue of Liberty is to be made 

more brilliant by the establishment, at its foot, of The American 

Museum of Immigration as the gift of individual Americans to the 

American people for all future generations; 

Whereas The American Museum of Immigration will tell for all time 

the story of the making of this great Nation of nations by the contributions of men and women who have been coming here since the 

earliest times from all over the world in search of liberty; 

Whereas the Statue of Liberty stands on Federal land known as 

Bedioe's Island, which name today has no special significance and 

which is the latest of a series of other names by which such island 

has been known in the past; and 

Whereas it is meet, fitting, and proper that the Statue of Liberty, with 

The American Museum of Immigration at its foot, be accorded a 

setting most appropriate for the great shrine of the American 

people: Now, therefore, be it 

Resolved hy the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 

States of America in Congress assembled^ That Bedioe's Island, which 

Bedioe's isiaiid.' is locatcd in Ncw York Harbor, shall hereafter be known as Liberty 

Island, and any law, regulation, document, or record of the United 

States in which such island is designated or referred to under the 

name Bedioe's Island shall be held to refer to such island under and 

by the name of Liberty Island.
