(h) the following new subparagraph: 
"(i) The plans for the memorial shall include the following: Twin 
flagpoles at a high point on Corregidor Island, illuminated at night, 
from which the nags of the United States of America and the Republic 
of the Philippines would fly; a suitable building, or buildings, for use 
as an auditorium and tourist center; and a contiguous battlefield park 
of appropriate size in which may be placed historical markers and 
mementos of the Pacific phase of World War II. For showing in the 
auditorium and in other appropriate places, the United States may 
participate in the preparation, in cooperation with the Philippine 
authorities, of a documentary film commemorating the story of Bataan 
and Corregidor, and other appropriate films of the Pacific phase of 
World War II. There are hereby authorized to be appropriated, to 
the Veterans' Administration, without fiscal year limitation, such sums 
of money, but not to exceed $1,500,000, as may be necessary to carry 
out the purposes of this subparagraph (i). Nothing in this subpara-
graph (i) shall be considered to prevent the construction of such 
additional components as may be hereinafter authorized, or as may be 
provided for from public contributions." 
SEC. 2. The Corregidor-Bataan Memorial Commission shall cease to 
exist upon completion of the construction authorized by this Act, or 
on May 6, 1967, whichever shall first occur.
