of the Persian Gulf War.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
JUNE 15, 1993
Mr. CLEMENT introduced the following bill; which was referred to the
Committee on Veterans’ Affairs
A BILL
To amend title 38, United States Code, to provide additional
authority for the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to provide
health care for veterans of the Persian Gulf War.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. AUTHORITY TO PROVIDE HEALTH CARE.
(a) HIGH-PRIORITY CARE.—Section 1710(a)(1)(G)
of title 38, United States Code, is amended by striking
out ‘‘or radiation’’ and inserting in lieu thereof ‘‘, radi-
ation, or environmental hazard’’.
(b)

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. 
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Distinguished Flying 
Cross National Memorial Act’’. 
SEC. 2. DESIGNATION OF DISTINGUISHED FLYING CROSS 
NATIONAL MEMORIAL IN RIVERSIDE, CALI-
FORNIA. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following: 
(1) The most reliable statistics regarding the 
number of members of the Armed Forces who have 
been awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross indi-
cate that 126,318 members of the Armed Forces re-
ceived the medal during World War II, approxi-
mately 21,000 members received the medal during 
the Korean conflict, and 21,647 members received 
the medal during the Vietnam War. Since the end 
of the Vietnam War, more than 203 Armed Forces 
members have received the medal in times of con-
flict. 
(2) The National Personnel Records Center in 
St. Louis, Missouri, burned down in 1973, and thus 
many more recipients of the Distinguished Flying 
Cross may be undocumented. Currently, the Depart-
ment of Defense continues to locate and identify 
members of the Armed Forces who have received the 
medal and are undocumented.
(3) The United States currently lacks a na-
tional memorial dedicated to the bravery and sac-
rifice of those members of the Armed Forces who 
have distinguished themselves by heroic deeds per-
formed in aerial flight. 
(4) An appropriate memorial to current and 
former members of the Armed Forces is under con-
struction at March Field Air Museum in Riverside, 
California. 
(5) This memorial will honor all those members 
of the Armed Forces who have distinguished them-
selves in aerial flight, whether documentation of 
such members who earned the Distinguished Flying 
Cross exists or not. 
(b) DESIGNATION.—The memorial to members of the 
Armed Forces who have been awarded the Distinguished 
Flying Cross, located at March Field Air Museum in Riv-
erside, California, is hereby designated as the Distin-
guished Flying Cross National Memorial. 
(c) EFFECT OF DESIGNATION.—The national memo-
rial designated by this section is not a unit of the National 
Park System, and the designation of the national memo-
rial shall not be construed to require or permit Federal
funds to be expended for any purpose related to the na-
tional memorial.
