SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds that--
            (1) the Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historic Site 
        was established by Congress on July 17, 1916;
            (2) section 510 of Public Law 105-355 (16 U.S.C. 218a) 
        authorized the addition to the Historic Site of the 228-acre 
        Knob Creek Farm at which Abraham Lincoln lived between 1811 and 
        1816;
            (3) Knob Creek Farm was donated to the National Historic 
        Site in November 2001; and
            (4) the 2006 General Management Plan for the Abraham 
        Lincoln Birthplace National Historic Site recommends a change 
        in the name of the Historic Site to ``National Historical 
        Park'' to reflect the addition of a second, noncontiguous unit.
