Whereas the Creole Nature Trail All-American Road District Board of Commissioners has begun to create and develop a National Hurricane Museum and Science Center in the southwest Louisiana area; Whereas protecting, preserving and showcasing the intrinsic qualities that make Louisiana a one-of-a-kind experience is the mission of the Creole Nature Trail All-American Road; Whereas the horrific experience of hurricanes Katrina and Rita and their devastating long-term effects will play a major role in the history of the United States; Whereas a science center of this caliber will educate, and hopefully motivate, young and old in the fields of meteorology, the environment, sociology, conservation, economics, history, communications, and engineering; Whereas it is only appropriate that the effects of hurricanes and the rebuilding efforts be captured in a comprehensive center such as a National Hurricane Museum and Science Center to interpret the effects of hurricanes in and outside of Louisiana; and Whereas it is critical that all Americans can learn from the history of past hurricanes and it is vital that every possible measure be developed in order to implement the necessary procedures to ensure this preservation: Now, therefore, be it

That the Congress supports and encourages the creation of a National Hurricane Museum and Science Center in southwest Louisiana.
