                                 AN ACT

 
 To posthumously award the Congressional Gold Medal, collectively, to 
Glen Doherty, Tyrone Woods, J. Christopher Stevens, and Sean Smith, in 
           recognition of their contributions to the Nation.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) On September 11, 2012, the United States consulate, and 
        its personnel in Benghazi, Libya, were attacked by militants.
            (2) Four Americans were killed in the attack, including 
        Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens, Sean Smith, Glen Doherty, 
        and Tyrone Woods.
            (3) Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods were former Navy SEALs 
        who served as security personnel in Libya. As the attack 
        unfolded, they bravely attempted to defend American property 
        and protect United States diplomatic personnel. In so doing, 
        they selflessly sacrificed their own lives.
            (4) Glen Doherty was a Navy SEAL for 12 years and served in 
        Iraq and Afghanistan. He attained the rank of Petty Officer 
        First Class and earned the Navy and Marine Corps Commendation 
        Medal. After leaving the Navy, Glen Doherty worked with the 
        Department of State to protect American diplomats.
            (5) Tyrone Woods served for 20 years as a Navy SEAL 
        including tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. In Iraq he led 
        multiple raids and reconnaissance missions and earned the 
        Bronze Star. After retiring from the Navy as a Senior Chief 
        Petty Officer, Tyrone Woods worked with the Department of State 
        to protect American diplomats.
            (6) J. Christopher Stevens served for 21 years in the U.S. 
        Foreign Service. He was serving as U.S. Ambassador to Libya and 
        previously served twice in the country, as both Special 
        Representative to the Libyan Transitional National Council and 
        as the Deputy Chief of Mission. Earlier in his life, he also 
        served as a Peace Corps volunteer teaching English in Morocco.
            (7) Sean Smith served for 6 years in the U.S. Air Force. He 
        attained the rank of Staff Sergeant and was awarded the Air 
        Force Commendation Medal. After leaving the Air Force, Sean 
        Smith served for 10 years in the State Department on various 
        assignments, which took him to places such as Baghdad, 
        Brussels, Pretoria, and The Hague.
            (8) As their careers attest, all four men served their 
        country honorably.

SEC. 2. CONGRESSIONAL GOLD MEDAL.

    (a) Award Authorized.--The Speaker of the House of Representatives 
and the President pro tempore of the Senate shall make appropriate 
arrangements for the posthumous award, on behalf of the Congress, of a 
single gold medal of appropriate design collectively in commemoration 
of Glen Doherty, Tyrone Woods, J. Christopher Stevens, and Sean Smith, 
in recognition of their contributions to the Nation.
    (b) Design and Striking.--For the purposes of the award referred to 
in subsection (a), the Secretary of the Treasury (hereafter in this Act 
referred to as the ``Secretary'') shall strike the gold medal with 
suitable emblems, devices, and inscriptions, to be determined by the 
Secretary.
    (c) Central Intelligence Agency Museum.--
            (1) In general.--Following the award of the gold medal 
        under subsection (a), the gold medal shall be given to the 
        Central Intelligence Agency Museum, where it will be displayed 
        as appropriate and made available for research.
            (2) Sense of congress.--It is the sense of Congress that 
        the Central Intelligence Agency Museum should make the gold 
        medal received under paragraph (1) available for display 
        elsewhere, particularly at other appropriate locations 
        associated with Glen Doherty, Tyrone Woods, J. Christopher 
        Stevens, and Sean Smith.

SEC. 3. DUPLICATE MEDALS.

    Under such regulations as the Secretary may prescribe, the 
Secretary may strike and sell duplicates in bronze of the gold medal 
struck under section 2, at a price sufficient to cover the costs of the 
medals, including labor, materials, dies, use of machinery, and 
overhead expenses.

SEC. 4. NATIONAL MEDALS.

    Medals struck pursuant to this Act are national medals for purposes 
of chapter 51 of title 31, United States Code.

            Passed the Senate December 15, 2020.

            Attest:

                                                             Secretary.
