                               RESOLUTION


 
Expressing the sense of the Senate that, on completion of construction 
 of a World War II Memorial in Area I of the District of Columbia and 
  its environs, Congress should provide funding for the maintenance, 
   security, and custodial and long-term care of the memorial by the 
                         National Park Service.

Whereas World War II is the defining event of the 20th century;
Whereas in World War II, over 16,000,000 American men and women served the 
        Nation, of which nearly 300,000 were killed and over 670,000 were 
        wounded;
Whereas in Public Law 103-422 (108 Stat. 4356), Congress approved the location 
        of a memorial to this epic event in Area I of the District of Columbia 
        and its environs, as described in the Act entitled ``An Act to provide 
        standards for placement of commemorative works on certain Federal lands 
        in the District of Columbia and its environs, and for other purposes'', 
        approved November 14, 1986 (40 U.S.C. 1001 et seq.); and
Whereas Congress has traditionally provided funding for the memorials 
        commemorating President Thomas Jefferson and President Abraham Lincoln, 
        the monument to President George Washington, and the Korean War Veterans 
        Memorial: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved,

SECTION 1. FUNDING OF A WORLD WAR II MEMORIAL.

    It is the sense of the Senate that, on completion of construction 
of a World War II Memorial in Area I of the District of Columbia and 
its environs, as described in that Act, Congress should provide funding 
for the maintenance, security, and custodial and long-term care of the 
memorial by the National Park Service.
