SEC. 505. 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.
H. R. 3910—17
(4) Kaiser Corporation supported women workers by install-
ing 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 collec-
tive interpretative oral histories for the public to learn of the
stories of the ‘‘Rosies’’ and ‘‘Wendys’’ who worked in the ship-
yards.
(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 con-
duct a feasibility study to determine whether—
(A) the Rosie the Riveter Park located in Richmond,

lished by the City of Richmond, California, with respect

preservation of oral histories from former works at the
Richmond Kaiser Shipyards.

the enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall complete the
study under paragraph (1) and submit a report containing
