Congress finds the following:
(1) The central and lower Mississippi Valley region
contained the highest population levels and the most complex
Native American societies north of Mexico before the arrival of
European peoples in the 16th century.
(2) In addition, the Mississippi Valley has also hosted
Spanish, French, English, and ultimately American societies at
different times in the last 450 years.
(3) Blytheville, Arkansas, is centrally located in the
Mississippi Valley region.
(4) Former Eaker Air Force Base, which is located outside
of Blytheville, Arkansas, in the central Mississippi Valley
region, is the site of 14 archaeological sites associated with
Native Americans.
(5) Because of its value in illustrating and interpreting
the heritage of the United States, the largest of these
archaeological sites, was recognized by the National Park
Service as a National Historic Landmark in 1996.
(6) Another archaeological site outside of Blytheville,
Arkansas, the Chickasawba Mound, was placed on the National
Register of Historic Places in 1984 because of its historic and
archaeological resources.
(7) These previous actions by the Department of the
Interior recognize that these archaeological sites are likely
to benefit, educate, and inspire present and future generations
of Americans, but no unified heritage park for the central
Mississippi Valley region exists within the National Park
Service.
(8) Blytheville, Arkansas, also possesses many other
regionally and nationally significant natural, seismic,
cultural, and recreational resources associated with the
heritage of the central Mississippi Valley region.
(9) The sites and resources associated with the heritage of
the central Mississippi Valley region require recognition
through the establishment of a national historical park for the
central Mississippi Valley region as a unit of the National
Park System.
(10) As a result of the closing of Eaker Air Force Base in
Blytheville, Arkansas, pursuant to the Defense Base Closure and
Realignment Act of 1990, Federal land and facilities are
readily available for the establishment of a national
historical park for the central Mississippi Valley region to
protect the archaeological sites located on the former military
installation, as well as to preserve, maintain, and interpret
the natural, seismic, cultural, and recreational heritage of
the central Mississippi Valley region for the benefit,
education, and inspiration of present and future generations of
Americans.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

Congress makes the following findings:
(1) Iran voted in the United Nations General Assembly on
December 10, 1948, to adopt the Universal Declaration of Human
Rights, thereby committing to guarantee the ''life, liberty,
and security of person'' of all people and rejecting ''cruel,
inhuman, or degrading treatment or punishment''.
(2) The Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Iran
guarantees certain human rights and fundamental freedoms,
including political and civil rights, along with economic,
social, and cultural rights, including a prohibition on torture
and a guarantee of sentencing according to the law.
(3) The Islamic Republic of Iran is a party to 4 major
United Nations human rights treaties: the Convention on the
Rights of the Child (which it ratified on July 13, 1994), the
International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of
Racial Discrimination (which it ratified on August 29, 1968),
and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights
and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural
Rights (both of which it ratified on June 24, 1975).
(4) The Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran is
violating its international and constitutional obligations to
respect the human rights and fundamental freedoms of its
citizens, including by--
(A) using torture and cruel, inhuman, or degrading
treatment or punishment, including flogging, and
amputations;
(B) carrying out an increasingly high rate of
executions in the absence of internationally recognized
safeguards, including public executions and executions
of juvenile offenders;
(C) using stoning as a method of execution and
maintaining a high number of persons in prison who
continue to face sentences of execution by stoning;
(D) carrying out arrests, violent repression, and
sentencing of women exercising their right to peaceful
assembly, a campaign of intimidation against women's
rights defenders, and continuing discrimination against
women and girls;

discrimination and other human rights violations
against persons belonging to religious, ethnic,
linguistic, or other minorities;
(F) imposing ongoing, systematic, and serious
restrictions of freedom of peaceful assembly and
association and freedom of opinion and expression,
including the continuing closures of media outlets,
arrests of journalists, and the censorship of
expression in online forums such as blogs and websites;
and
(G) imposing severe limitations and restrictions on
freedom of religion and belief, including by carrying
out arbitrary arrests, indefinite detentions, and
lengthy jail sentences for those exercising their
rights to freedom of religion or belief and proposing a
provision in a draft penal code that sets out a
mandatory death sentence for apostasy, the abandoning
of one's faith.
(5) On June 19, 2009, the United Nations High Commissioner
for Human Rights expressed concerns about the increasing number
of arrests not in conformity with the law and the illegal use
of excessive force in responding to protests following the June
12, 2009, elections in Iran, resulting in at least dozens of
deaths and hundreds of injuries.
(6) On August 1, 2009, authorities in the Islamic Republic
of Iran began a mass trial of more than 100 individuals in
connection with election protests, most of whom were held for
weeks, in solitary confinement, with little or no access to
their lawyers or families, and many of whom showed signs of
torture or abuse.
(7) The Supreme Leader of Iran issued a statement on
October 28, 2009, effectively criminalizing dissent in the
aftermath of the national election of June 12, 2009.
(8) On November 4, 2009, security forces in the Islamic
Republic of Iran used brutal force to disperse thousands of
protesters, resulting in a number of injuries and arrests, in
violation of international standards regarding the
proportionate use of force against peaceful demonstrations.
(9) At least 8 citizens of Iran were killed and an
undetermined number were injured on December 27, 2009, when
security forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran violently broke
up peaceful gatherings during the Ashura holiday.

recently sentenced numerous Iranian citizens to death without
due process for politicized crimes relating to the peaceful
demonstrations that followed the June 12, 2009, elections,

out those execution sentences, including the death by hanging
of 2 individuals on January 28, 2010.
