SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``United States Marshals Service 225th 
Anniversary Commemorative Coin Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    The Congress hereby finds as follows:
            (1) The United States Marshals, the first Federal law 
        enforcement officers in America, were established under section 
        27 of the Act of Congress entitled ``Chapter XX.--An Act to 
        Establish the Judicial Courts of the United States'' and 
        enacted on September 24, 1789 (commonly referred to as the 
        ``Judiciary Act of September 24, 1789''), during the 1st 
        Session of the 1st Congress, and signed into law by the 1st 
        President of the United States, George Washington.
            (2) George Washington had carefully considered the 
        appointments to the Judicial Branch long before the enactment 
        of the Judiciary Act of September 24, 1789, and nominated the 
        first 11 United States Marshals on September 24, and the 
        remaining two Marshals on September 25, 1789. The Senate 
        confirmed all 13 on September 26, 1789, 2 days after the 
        Judiciary Act was signed into law.
            (3) In 1969, by order of the Department of Justice, the 
        United States Marshals Service was created, and achieved Bureau 
        status in 1974. The United States Marshals Service has had 
        major significance in the history of the United States, and has 
        directly contributed to the safety and preservation of this 
        Nation, by serving as an instrument of civil authority used by 
        all 3 branches of the United States Government.
            (4) One of the original 13 United States Marshals, Robert 
        Forsyth of Georgia, a 40-year old veteran of the Revolutionary 
        War, was the first civilian official of the United States 
        Government, and the first of many United States Marshals and 
        deputies, to be killed in the line of duty when he was shot on 
        January 11, 1794, while trying to serve civil process.
            (5) The United States Marshals Service Commemorative Coin 
        will be the first commemorative coin to honor the United States 
        Marshals Service.
            (6) The United States should pay tribute to the Nation's 
        oldest Federal law enforcement agency, the United States 
        Marshals Service, by minting and issuing commemorative coins, 
        as provided in this Act.
            (7) A commemorative coin will bring national and 
        international attention to the lasting legacy of this Nation's 
        oldest Federal law enforcement agency.
            (8) The proceeds from a surcharge on the sale of such 
        commemorative coins will assist the financing of national 
        museums and charitable organizations.

                        issued under this Act shall bear an image of

                        men and women of the United States Marshals 
                        Service who lost their lives in the line of 
                        duty and include the Marshals Service motto 
                        ``Justice, Integrity, Service''.

                        landscape. The image should depict Marshals as 
                        the lawmen of our frontiers, including their

                        United States Marshals played in a changing 
                        Nation, as they were involved in some of the 
                        most pivotal social issues in American history. 
                        The image should show the ties that the 
                        Marshals have to the United States 
                        Constitution, with themes including--

                                and capital.
            (4) Realistic and historically accurate depictions.--The 
        images for the designs of coins issued under this Act shall be 
        selected on the basis of the realism and historical accuracy of 
        the images and on the extent to which the images are 
        reminiscent of the dramatic and beautiful artwork on coins of 
        the so-called ``Golden Age of Coinage'' in the United States, 
        at the beginning of the 20th Century, with the participation of 
        such noted sculptors and medallic artists as James Earle
