Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
            (1) in 1598, almost a decade before the first permanent 
        English settlement was established at Jamestown, Spanish 
        colonists entered New Mexico, beginning more than 2 centuries 
        of colonization that would indelibly mark the character of the 
        American Southwest;
            (2) because of the flow of history, New Mexico has remained 
        a unique area of the Spanish borderlands;
            (3) as a result of its remoteness, New Mexico changed more 
        slowly than other settlements and has retained many significant 
        remnants of colonial customs, language, and attitudes; and
            (4) the interaction of the American Indian and Hispanic 
        colonial heritages resulted in customs, architecture, and many 
        other manifestations that are unique to today's American 
        culture.
    (b) Purpose.--In order to enhance the preservation, interpretation, 
and public understanding of various aspects of colonial New Mexico, the 
purpose of this Act is to authorize the Secretary of the Interior to

of various aspects of colonial New Mexico history.
