        Louisiana, has as principal missions to create a comprehensive database 
        that contains all Civil War materials and to facilitate the study of the 
        War from the perspectives of all ethnic cultures and all professions, 
        academic disciplines, and occupations;
Whereas the 2 principal missions of Civil War Center are consistent with the 
        commemoration of the sesquicentennial; and
Whereas advance planning to facilitate the 4-year commemoration of the 
        sesquicentennial is required: Now, therefore, be it
