SEC. 1102. EL CAMINO REAL DE LOS TEJAS NATIONAL HIS-
TORIC TRAIL. 
(a) SHORT TITLE.—This section may be cited as the 
‘‘El Camino Real de los Tejas National Historic Trail Act 
of 2002’’. 
(b) FINDINGS. 
Congress finds that—
(1) El Camino Real de los Tejas (the Royal 
Road to the Tejas), served as the primary route be-
tween the Spanish viceregal capital of Mexico City 
and the Spanish provincial capital of Tejas at Los 
Adaes (1721–1773) and San Antonio (1773–1821); 
(2) the seventeenth, eighteenth, and early nine-
teenth century rivalries among the European colo-
nial powers of Spain, France, and England and after 
their independence, Mexico and the United States, 
for dominion over lands fronting the Gulf of Mexico, 
were played out along the evolving travel routes in 
this immense area; 
(3) the future of several American Indian na-
tions, whose prehistoric trails were later used by the 
Spaniards for exploration and colonization, was tied 
to these larger forces and events and the nations 
were fully involved in and affected by the complex 
cultural interactions that ensued; 
(4) the Old San Antonio Road was a series of 
routes established in the early 19th century sharing 
the same corridor and some routes of El Camino 
Real, and carried American immigrants from the 
east, contributing to the formation of the Republic 
of Texas, and its annexation to the United States;
(5) the exploration, conquest, colonization, set-
tlement, migration, military occupation, religious 
conversion, and cultural exchange that occurred in a 
large area of the borderland was facilitated by El 
Camino Real de los Tejas as it carried Spanish and 
Mexican influences northeastward, and by its suc-
cessor, the Old San Antonio Road, which carried 
American influence westward, during a historic pe-
riod which extended from 1689 to 1850; and 
(6) the portions of El Camino Real de los Tejas 
in what is now the United States extended from the 
Rio Grande near Eagle Pass and Laredo, Texas and 
involved routes that changed through time, that 
total almost 2,600 miles in combined length, gen-
erally coursing northeasterly through San Antonio, 
Bastrop, Nacogdoches, and San Augustine in Texas 
to Natchitoches, Louisiana, a general corridor dis-
tance of 550 miles. 
(c) AUTHORIZATION AND ADMINISTRATION.—Section 
5(a) of the National Trails System Act (16 U.S.C. 
1244(a) is amended as follows: 
(1) By designating the paragraph relating to 
the Ala Kahakai National Historic Trail as para-
graph (21). 
(2) By adding at the end the following:
‘‘(23) EL CAMINO REAL DE LOS TEJAS.—
‘‘(A) IN GENERAL.—El Camino Real de los 
Tejas (The Royal Road to the Tejas) National 
Historic Trail, a combination of routes totaling 
2,580 miles in length from the Rio Grande near 
Eagle Pass and Laredo, Texas to Natchitoches, 
Louisiana, and including the Old San Antonio 
Road, as generally depicted on the maps enti-
tled ‘El Camino Real de los Tejas’, contained in 
the report prepared pursuant to subsection (b) 
entitled ‘National Historic Trail Feasibility 
Study and Environmental Assessment: El Ca-
mino Real de los Tejas, Texas-Louisiana’, dated 
July 1998. A map generally depicting the trail 
shall be on file and available for public inspec-
tion in the Office of the National Park Service, 
Department of the Interior. The trail shall be 
administered by the Secretary of the Interior. 
‘‘(B) COORDINATION OF ACTIVITIES.—The 
Secretary of the Interior may coordinate with 
United States and Mexican public and non-gov-
ernmental organizations, academic institutions, 
and, in consultation with the Secretary of State, 
the Government of Mexico and its political sub-
divisions, for the purpose of exchanging trail in-
formation and research, fostering trail preserva-
tion and educational programs, providing tech-
nical assistance, and working to establish an 
international historic trail with complementary 
preservation and education programs in each 
nation.’’. 
(d) PRIVATE PROPERTY RIGHTS PROTECTION.—
Designation of El Camino Real de los Tejas under this 
section does not itself confer any additional authority to 
apply other existing Federal laws and regulations on non-
Federal lands along the trail. Laws or regulations requir-
ing public entities and agencies to take into consideration 
a national historic trail shall continue to apply notwith-
standing the foregoing. On non-Federal lands, the na-
tional historic trail shall be established only when land-
owners voluntarily request certification of their sites and 
segments of the trail consistent with section 3(a)(3) of the 
National Trails System Act. Notwithstanding section 7(g) 
of such Act, the United States is authorized to acquire 
privately-owned real property or an interest in such prop-
erty for purposes of the trail only with the willing consent 
of the owner of such property and shall have no authority 
to condemn or otherwise appropriate privately-owned real 
property or an interest in such property for the purposes 
of El Camino Real de los Tejas National Historic Trail.

(a) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds the following: 
(1) The area beginning at Shepherd Drive in

cated shipping system, leading to the formation of 
the modern day Houston Ship Channel. 
(7) The Buffalo Bayou developed a significant 
industrial base, and served as the focal point for the 
new city of Houston. 
(8) There is a longstanding commitment by the 
Buffalo Bayou Partnership, Inc., to complete the 
Buffalo Bayou Trail along the 12-mile segment of 
the Buffalo Bayou.

Subtitle H—Miami Circle Site 
Study 
SEC. 1236. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES. 
(a) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds that—
(1) the Tequesta Indians were one of the ear-
liest groups to establish permanent villages in south-
east Florida; 
(2) the Tequestas had one of only two North 
American civilizations that thrived and developed

by the Tequesta approximately 2,000 years ago, pre-
sents a valuable new opportunity to learn more 
about the Tequesta culture; and 
(5) Biscayne National Park also contains and 
protects several prehistoric Tequesta sites. 
(b) PURPOSE.—The purpose of this title is to direct 
the Secretary to conduct a special resource study to deter-
mine the national significance of the Miami Circle site as 
well as the suitability and feasibility of its inclusion in the 
National Park System as part of Biscayne National Park.

(d) AUTHORIZATION
OF APPROPRIATIONS.—There 
are authorized to be appropriated such sums as are nec-
essary to carry out this title. 
Subtitle I—Bainbridge Island 
SEC. 1241. SHORT TITLE; FINDINGS. 
(a) SHORT TITLE.—This subtitle may be cited as the 
‘‘Bainbridge Island Japanese-American Memorial Study 
Act of 2002’’. 
(b) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds the following: 
(1) During World War II on February 19, 
1942, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt signed 
Executive Order 9066, setting in motion the forced 
exile of more than 110,000 Japanese Americans. 
(2) In Washington State, 12,892 men, women 
and children of Japanese ancestry experienced three 
years of incarceration, an incarceration violating the 
most basic freedoms of American citizens. 
(3) On March 30, 1942, 227 Bainbridge Island 
residents were the first Japanese Americans in 
United States history to be forcibly removed from 
their homes by the U.S. Army and sent to intern-
ment camps. They boarded the ferry Kehloken from 
the former Eagledale Ferry Dock, located at the end 
of Taylor Avenue, in the city of Bainbridge Island, 
Washington State.
(4) The city of Bainbridge Island has adopted 
a resolution stating that this site should be a Na-
tional Memorial, and similar resolutions have been 
introduced in the Washington State Legislature. 
(5) Both the Minidoka National Monument and 
Manzanar National Historic Site can clearly tell the 
story of a time in our Nation’s history when con-
stitutional rights were ignored. These camps by de-
sign were placed in very remote places and are not 
easily accessible. Bainbridge Island is a short ferry 
ride from Seattle and the site would be within easy 
reach of many more people. 
(6) This is a unique opportunity to create a site 
that will honor those who suffered, cherish the 
friends and community who stood beside them and 
welcomed them home, and inspire all to stand firm 
in the event our nation again succumbs to similar 
fears. 
(7) The site should be recognized by the Na-
tional Park Service based on its high degree of na-
tional significance, association with significant 
events, and integrity of its location and setting. This 
site is critical as an anchor for future efforts to 
identify, interpret, serve, and ultimately honor the
Nikkei—persons of Japanese ancestry—influence on 
Bainbridge Island.

Subtitle N—Peopling of America 
Theme Study 
SEC. 1271. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds that—
(1) an important facet of the history of the 
United States is the story of how the United States 
was populated; 
(2) the migration, immigration, and settlement 
of the population of the United States—
(A) is broadly termed the ‘‘peopling of 
America’’; and 
(B) is characterized by—
(i) the movement of groups of people 
across external and internal boundaries of 
the United States and territories of the 
United States; and 
(ii) the interactions of those groups 
with each other and with other popu-
lations; 
(3) each of those groups has made unique, im-
portant contributions to American history, culture, 
art, and life;
(4) the spiritual, intellectual, cultural, political, 
and economic vitality of the United States is a result 
of the pluralism and diversity of the American popu-
lation; 
(5) the success of the United States in embrac-
ing and accommodating diversity has strengthened 
the national fabric and unified the United States in 
its values, institutions, experiences, goals, and ac-
complishments; 
(6)(A) the National Park Service’s official the-
matic framework, revised in 1996, responds to the 
requirement of section 1209 of the Civil War Sites 
Study Act of 1990 (16 U.S.C. 1a–5 note; title XII

ensure that the full diversity of American history 
and prehistory are represented’’ in the identification 
and interpretation of historic properties by the Na-
tional Park Service; and

‘‘people are the primary agents of change’’ and es-
tablishes the theme of human population movement 
and change—or ‘‘peopling places’’—as a primary 
thematic category for interpretation and preserva-
tion; and
(7) although there are approximately 70,000 
listings on the National Register of Historic Places, 
sites associated with the exploration and settlement 
of the United States by a broad range of cultures 
are not well represented. 
(b) PURPOSES.—The purposes of this subtitle are—
(1) to foster a much-needed understanding of 
the diversity and contribution of the breadth of 
groups who have peopled the United States; and 
(2) to strengthen the ability of the National 
Park Service to include groups and events otherwise 
not recognized in the peopling of the United States.

(5) The San Rafael region has a notable history 
of coal and uranium mining and a rich cultural her-
itage of activities associated with mining, such as 
prospecting, railroad building, immigrant workers, 
coal camps, labor union movements, and mining dis-
asters. 
(6) The San Rafael region is widely recognized 
for its significant paleontological resources and dino-
117
saur bone quarries, including the Cleveland Lloyd 
Dinosaur Quarry which was designated as a Na-
tional Natural Landmark in 1966. 
(7) The beautiful rural landscapes, historic and 
cultural landscapes, and spectacular scenic vistas of 
the San Rafael region contain significant undevel-
oped recreational opportunities for people through-
out the United States. 
(8) Museums and visitor centers have already 
been constructed in the San Rafael region, including 
the John Wesley Powell River History Museum, the 
College of Eastern Utah Prehistoric Museum, the 
Museum of the San Rafael, the Western Mining and 
Railroad Museum, the Emery County Pioneer Mu-
seum, and the Cleveland Lloyd Dinosaur Quarry, 
and these museums are available to interpret the 
themes of the National Heritage Area established by 
this subtitle and to coordinate the interpretive and 
preservation activities of the area. 
(9) Despite the efforts of the State of Utah, po-
litical subdivisions of the State, volunteer organiza-
tions, and private businesses, the cultural, historical, 
natural, and recreational resources of the San 
Rafael region have not realized their full potential
118
and may be lost without assistance from the Federal 
Government. 
(10) Many of the historical, cultural, and sci-
entific sites of the San Rafael region are located on 
lands owned by the Federal Government and are 
managed by the Bureau of Land Management or the 
United States Forest Service. 
(11) The preservation of the cultural, historical, 
natural, and recreational resources of the San 
Rafael region within a regional framework requires 
cooperation among local property owners and Fed-
eral, State, and local government entities. 
(12) Partnerships between Federal, State, and 
local governments, local and regional entities of 
these governments, and the private sector offer the 
most effective opportunities for the enhancement 
and management of the cultural, historical, natural, 
and recreational resources of the San Rafael region. 
(b) PURPOSES.—The purposes of this subtitle are as 
follows: 
(1) To establish the San Rafael Western Fron-
tier National Heritage Area to promote the preser-
vation, conservation, interpretation, and development 
of the historical, cultural, natural, and recreational 
resources related to the historical, cultural, and in-
119
dustrial heritage of the San Rafael region of the 
State of Utah. 
(2) To encourage within the National Heritage 
Area a broad range of economic and recreational op-
portunities to enhance the quality of life for present 
and future generations. 
(3) To assist the State of Utah, political sub-
divisions of the State and their local and regional 
entities, and nonprofit organizations, or combina-
tions thereof, in preparing and implementing a herit-
age plan for the National Heritage Area and in de-
veloping policies and programs that will preserve, en-
hance, and interpret the cultural, historical, natural, 
recreational, and scenic resources of the Heritage 
Area. 
(4) To authorize the Secretary of the Interior 
to provide financial assistance and technical assist-
ance to support the preparation and implementation 
of the heritage plan for the San Rafael Western 
Frontier National Heritage Area.

Subtitle F—Cedar Creek and Belle 
Grove National Historical Park 
SEC. 1571. SHORT TITLE. 
This subtitle may be cited as the ‘‘Cedar Creek and 
Belle Grove National Historical Park Act’’. 
SEC. 1572. PURPOSE. 
The purpose of this subtitle is to establish the Cedar 
Creek and Belle Grove National Historical Park in order 
to—
(1) help preserve, protect, and interpret a na-
tionally significant Civil War landscape and ante-
bellum plantation for the education, inspiration, and 
benefit of present and future generations; 
(2) tell the rich story of Shenandoah Valley his-
tory from early settlement through the Civil War 
and beyond, and the Battle of Cedar Creek and its 
significance in the conduct of the war in the Shen-
andoah Valley; 
(3) preserve the significant historic, natural, 
cultural, military, and scenic resources found in the 
Cedar Creek Battlefield and Belle Grove Plantation 
areas through partnerships with local landowners 
and the community; and 
(4) serve as a focal point to recognize and inter-
pret important events and geographic locations with-
134
in the Shenandoah Valley Battlefields National His-
toric District representing key Civil War battles in 
the Shenandoah Valley, including those battlefields 
associated with the Thomas J. (Stonewall) Jackson 
campaign of 1862 and the decisive campaigns of 
1864. 
SEC. 1573. FINDINGS. 
Congress finds the following: 
(1) The Battle of Cedar Creek, also known as 
the battle of Belle Grove, was a major event of the 
Civil War and the history of this country. It rep-
resented the end of the Civil War’s Shenandoah Val-
ley campaign of 1864 and contributed to the reelec-
tion of President Abraham Lincoln and the eventual 
outcome of the war. 
(2) 2,500 acres of the Cedar Creek Battlefield 
and Belle Grove Plantation were designated a na-
tional historic landmark in 1969 because of their 
ability to illustrate and interpret important eras and 
events in the history of the United States. The 
Cedar Creek Battlefield, Belle Grove Manor House, 
the Heater House, and Harmony Hall (a National 
Historic Landmark) are also listed on the Virginia 
Landmarks Register.
135
(3) The Secretary of the Interior has approved 
the Shenandoah Valley Battlefields National His-
toric District Management Plan and the National 
Park Service Special Resource Study, both of which 
recognized Cedar Creek Battlefield as the most sig-
nificant Civil War resource within the historic dis-
trict. The management plan, which was developed 
with extensive public participation over a 3-year pe-
riod and is administered by the Shenandoah Valley 
Battlefields Foundation, recommends that Cedar 
Creek Battlefield be established as a new unit of the 
National Park System. 
(4) The Cedar Creek Battlefield Foundation, 
organized in 1988 to preserve and interpret the 
Cedar Creek Battlefield and the 1864 Valley Cam-
paign, has acquired 308 acres of land within the 
boundaries of the National Historic Landmark. The 
foundation annually hosts a major reenactment and 
living history event on the Cedar Creek Battlefield. 
(5) Belle Grove Plantation is a Historic Site of 
the National Trust for Historic Preservation that oc-
cupies 383 acres within the National Historic Land-
mark. The Belle Grove Manor House was built by 
Isaac Hite, a Revolutionary War patriot married to 
the sister of President James Madison, who was a
136
frequent visitor at Belle Grove. President Thomas 
Jefferson assisted with the design of the house. Dur-
ing the Civil War Belle Grove was at the center of 
the decisive battle of Cedar Creek. Belle Grove is 
managed locally by Belle Grove, Incorporated, and 
has been open to the public since 1967. The house 
has remained virtually unchanged since it was built 
in 1797, offering visitors an experience of the life 
and times of the people who lived there in the 18th 
and 19th centuries. 
(6) The panoramic views of the mountains, nat-
ural areas, and waterways provide visitors with an 
inspiring setting of great natural beauty. The his-
toric, natural, cultural, military, and scenic re-
sources found in the Cedar Creek Battlefield and 
Belle Grove Plantation areas are nationally and re-
gionally significant. 
(7) The existing, independent, not-for-profit or-
ganizations dedicated to the protection and interpre-
tation of the resources described above provide the 
foundation for public-private partnerships to further 
the success of protecting, preserving, and inter-
preting these resources.
137
(8) None of these resources, sites, or stories of 
the Shenandoah Valley are protected by or inter-
preted within the National Park System.

Subtitle 
G—Crossroads 
of 
the 
American Revolution National 
Heritage Area 
SEC. 1585. SHORT TITLE. 
This subtitle may be cited as the ‘‘Crossroads of the 
American Revolution National Heritage Area Act’’. 
SEC. 1586. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following: 
(1) New Jersey was of critical importance dur-
ing the American Revolution due to its strategic lo-
cation between the British armies headquartered in 
New York City and the Continental Congress sitting 
in the City of Philadelphia. 
(2) General George Washington spent almost 
half of the period of the American Revolution per-
149
sonally commanding troops of the Continental Army 
in New Jersey including 2 severe winter encamp-
ments at what is now Morristown National Histor-
ical Park, a unit of the National Park System. 
(3) It was during the 10 crucial days of the 
American Revolution between December 25, 1776, 
and January 3, 1777, when General Washington, 
after retreating across New Jersey from New York 
City to Pennsylvania in the face of total defeat for 
the Nation’s cause, recrossed the Delaware River on 
Christmas night, 1776, and won crucial battles at 
Trenton and Princeton. Thomas Paine, who accom-
panied the troops during the retreat, described the 
events as, ‘‘the times that try men’s souls’’. 
(4) There are situated in the State of New Jer-
sey the sites of 296 engagements including several 
important battles of the American Revolution, which 
collectively are of significant importance to the out-
come of the overall conflict and the history of the 
United States. Among these are National Historic 
Landmarks including Washington’s Crossing, the 
Old Trenton Barracks, and Princeton, Monmouth 
and Red Bank Battlefields. 
(5) Additional national Historic Landmarks in-
clude the homes of Richard Stockton, Joseph Hewes,
150
John Witherspoon, and Francis Hopkinson, all sign-
ers of the Declaration of Independence, Elias 
Boudinout, President of the Continental Congress 
and William Livingston, patriot and Governor of 
New Jersey from 1776 to 1790. 
(6) Portions of the landscapes important to the 
strategies of both armies including waterways, 
mountains, farms, wetlands, villages and roadways 
retain integrity of the period of the American Revo-
lution and offer outstanding opportunities for con-
servation, education, and recreation. 
(7) The National Register of Historic Places 
lists 251 buildings and sites in the National Park 
Service study area for Crossroads of the American 
Revolution associated with the period of the Amer-
ican Revolution. 
(8) Civilian populations residing in New Jersey 
suffered extreme hardships during the American 
Revolution due to the continuous conflict within its 
borders, foraging armies, and marauding contingents 
of loyalist Tories and rebel sympathizers. 
(9) Because of the important role that New 
Jersey played in the successful outcome of the 
American Revolution there is a Federal interest for 
the development of a regional framework to assist
151
the State of New Jersey, other local organizations 
and governments, and private citizens to preserve 
and protect natural, cultural, and historic resources 
of the period and to bring recognition to this impor-
tant heritage for the educational and recreational 
benefit of this and future generations of Americans. 
(10) The National Park Service has conducted 
a National Heritage Feasibility Study in the State 
of New Jersey that demonstrates the sufficient as-
semblage of nationally distinctive natural, cultural, 
and historic resources necessary to establish the 
Crossroads of the American Revolution National 
Heritage Area. 
(b) PURPOSES.—The purposes of this subtitle are as 
follows: 
(1) To build the capacity of communities, orga-
nizations, and citizens in New Jersey to preserve the 
special historic identity of the region and its impor-
tance to the Nation. 
(2) To foster a close working relationship with 
all levels of government, the private sector, and the 
local communities in New Jersey. 
(3) To provide for the management, preserva-
tion, protection, and interpretation of the natural, 
historic, and cultural resources of the region for the
152
educational and inspirational benefit of future gen-
erations. 
(4) To strengthen the value of Morristown Na-
tional Historical Park as an asset to the region by 
establishing a network of related historic resources, 
protected landscapes, educational opportunities, and 
events depicting the revolutionary landscape of New 
Jersey. 
(5) To strengthen partnerships among Morris-
town National Historical Park and other public and 
privately owned resources in the heritage area, that 
together represent the strategic fulcrum of the 
American Revolution, as assets in the quality of life 
in the region.
(6) To authorize Federal financial and technical 
assistance to serve these purposes.

Subtitle H—National Aviation 
Heritage Area 
SEC. 1595. SHORT TITLE; FINDINGS; PURPOSE; DEFINI-
TIONS. 
(a) SHORT TITLE.—This subtitle may be cited as the 
‘‘National Aviation Heritage Area Act’’. 
(b) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following: 
(1) Few technological advances have trans-
formed the world or our Nation’s economy, society, 
culture, and national character as the development 
of powered flight. 
(2) The industrial, cultural, and natural herit-
age legacies of Ohio’s aviation and aerospace indus-
try are nationally significant. 
(3) Dayton, Ohio, and other defined areas 
where the development of the airplane and aerospace 
technology established our Nation’s leadership in 
both civil and military aeronautics and astronautics 
set the foundation for the 20th century to be an 
American century. 
(4) Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Day-
ton, Ohio, is the birthplace, home, and future of 
aerospace. 
(5) The economic strength of our Nation is con-
nected integrally to the vitality of the aviation and
165
aerospace industry, which is responsible for an esti-
mated 11,200,000 American jobs. 
(6) The industrial and cultural heritage of the 
aviation and aerospace industry in Ohio includes the 
social history and living cultural traditions of several 
generations. 
(7) The Department of the Interior is respon-
sible for protecting and interpreting the Nation’s 
cultural and historic resources, and there are signifi-
cant examples of these resources within Ohio to 
merit the involvement of the Federal Government to 
develop programs and projects in cooperation with 
the Aviation Heritage Foundation, Incorporated, the 
State of Ohio, and other local and governmental en-
tities to adequately conserve, protect, and interpret 
this heritage for the educational and recreational 
benefit of this and future generations of Americans, 
while providing opportunities for education and revi-
talization. 
(8) Since the enactment of the Dayton Aviation 
Heritage Preservation Act of 1992 (Public Law 
102–419), partnerships among the Federal, State, 
and local governments and the private sector have 
greatly assisted the development and preservation of 
the historic aviation resources in the Miami Valley.
166
(9) An aviation heritage area centered in 
Southwest Ohio is a suitable and feasible manage-
ment option to increase collaboration, promote herit-
age tourism, and build on the established partner-
ships among Ohio’s historic aviation resources and 
related sites. 
(10) A critical level of collaboration among the 
historic aviation resources in Southwest Ohio cannot 
be achieved without a congressionally established na-
tional heritage area and the support of the National 
Park Service and other Federal agencies which own 
significant historic aviation-related sites in Ohio. 
(11) The Aviation Heritage Foundation, Incor-
porated, would be an appropriate management entity 
to oversee the development of the National Aviation 
Heritage Area. 
(12) Five National Park Service and Dayton 
Aviation Heritage Commission studies and planning 
documents ‘‘Study of Alternatives: Dayton’s Aviation 
Heritage’’, ‘‘Dayton Aviation Heritage National His-
torical Park Suitability/Feasibility Study’’, ‘‘Dayton 
Aviation Heritage General Management Plan’’, 
‘‘Dayton Historic Resources Preservation and Devel-
opment Plan’’, and Heritage Area Concept Study (in 
progress) demonstrated that sufficient historical re-
167
sources exist to establish the National Aviation Her-
itage Area. 
(13) With the advent of the 100th anniversary 
of the first powered flight in 2003, it is recognized 
that the preservation of properties nationally signifi-
cant in the history of aviation is an important goal 
for the future education of Americans. 
(14) Local governments, the State of Ohio, and 
private sector interests have embraced the heritage 
area concept and desire to enter into a partnership 
with the Federal Government to preserve, protect, 
and develop the Heritage Area for public benefit. 
(15) The National Aviation Heritage Area 
would complement and enhance the aviation-related 
resources within the National Park Service, espe-
cially the Dayton Aviation Heritage National Histor-
ical Park, Ohio, and the Wright Brothers National 
Memorial, Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. 
(c) PURPOSE.—The purpose of this subtitle is to es-
tablish the Heritage Area to—
(1) 
encourage 
and 
facilitate 
collaboration 
among the facilities, sites, organizations, govern-
mental entities, and educational institutions within

168
to develop educational and cultural programs for the 
public; 
(2) preserve and interpret for the educational 
and inspirational benefit of present and future gen-
erations the unique and significant contributions to 
our national heritage of certain historic and cultural 
lands, structures, facilities, and sites within the Na-
tional Aviation Heritage Area; 
(3) encourage within the National Aviation 
Heritage Area a broad range of economic opportuni-
ties enhancing the quality of life for present and fu-
ture generations; 
(4) provide a management framework to assist 
the State of Ohio, its political subdivisions, other 
areas, and private organizations, or combinations 
thereof, in preparing and implementing an inte-

heritage and in developing policies and programs 
that will preserve, enhance, and interpret the cul-
tural, historical, natural, recreation, and scenic re-
sources of the Heritage Area; and
