Act''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
    The Congress finds the following:
        (1) The United States Army Command and General Staff College, 
    founded in 1881, has in its many evolutionary forms, served this 
    country consistently and well for 127 years.
        (2) The Command and General Staff College has played a decisive 
    role in the education and training of officers, particularly in 
    their field grade years of service, in times of war and peace, 
    since its establishment.
        (3) The Command and General Staff College has had a salutatory 
    effect on many fields of battle by providing its officer student 
    bodies the necessary skills of battle management, leadership 
    development, and the most modern and effective command and staff 
    action procedures, all of which have been key to this Nations' 
    success in its many conflicts which, thereby, have preserved its 
    freedoms and way of life.
        (4) The Command and General Staff College, the Nations' oldest 
    military staff college, does not have a commemorative coin cast in 
    celebrating its long and honorable history, displaying its 
    heritage, and serving as a reminder to the holder of such coins the 
    service to the Nation its graduates have provided in war and peace.
        (5) The United States Army Command and General Staff College is 
    the Nation's largest and oldest military staff college, continuing 
    to educate officers from all United States branches of military 
    services, select members of our civil government, and officers from 
    many friendly and allied nations from around the globe. Located in 
    the middle of the American heartland, will continue to serve as a 
    beacon of light to the proposition of intellectual curiosity and 
    professional military excellence in the development of its 
    students, and serve as a link to American citizenry grateful for 
    the sacrifices, some in the fullest measure of duty and devotion to 
    the Nation, made by the graduates of its Command and Staff College.
        (6) The Command and General Staff College Foundation, Inc. (in 
    this Act referred to as the ``Foundation'') is dedicated to 
    promoting excellence in the faculty and students of the United 
    States Army Command and General Staff College. Seeking new ways to 
    educate and remind our citizens regarding the capable and selfless 
    service of our military officers, and to imbue in them a sense of 
    pride in those who bear the burden of military leadership in our 
    Nation's wars and in times of peace.
        (7) The Foundation is a nongovernmental, member-based, and 
    publicly supported nonprofit organization that is entirely 
    dependent on funds from members, donations, and grants for its 
    functions and supports exclusively the United States Army Command 
    and General Staff College.
        (8) The Foundation uses funding to provide the Margin of 
    Excellence to the programs and activities of the College in support 
    of the educational needs of the Nation's field grade officer corps, 
    and the faculty and staff attendant thereto.
        (9) In 2006, the Secretary of the Army accepted the first 
    Foundation gift to the College in support of the Command and 
    General Staff College.

            (B) During a long career of public service, he 
        distinguished himself as a leader, tactician, strategist, 
        statesman, and, truly, as the ``Organizer of Victory''.
            (C) In World War I, he was regarded as one of the most 
        talented staff officers in the United States Army.
            (D) After that war, and throughout the many long and

        assisted in directing the Allied Powers to victory.
            (G) In 1947 he was appointed Secretary of State for the 
        United States and his outstanding career as a statesman proved 
        equal to his brilliant military career.
            (H) He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his conception 
        and implementation of the European Recovery Program, and, 
        subsequently, he served as the Secretary of Defense for 1 year.

        air power, and personally held numerous records and trophies

        United States mail by air.
            (D) Accomplishments in and from the air in the World Wars, 
        particularly in World War II, were heavily influenced by his 
        genius.
            (E) As a result of General Arnold's contributions, massed 
        air power gave a third dimension to battles of World War II, 
        swept the skies of the enemy, and denied him mobility on the 
        ground.
            (F) One of General Arnold's citations reads in part: ``From 
        conception to execution, General Arnold's leadership guided the

        Expeditionary Force, he was instructed: ``You will enter the 
        continent of Europe, and, in conjunction with other United 
        Nations, undertake operations aimed at the heart of Germany and 
        the destruction of her armed forces''.
            (D) In accomplishing this mission, he commanded the largest 
        combination of land, sea and air forces in history.

            (G) His service at Ft. Leavenworth was 1917-1918 as a 
        tactical instructor officer for a course for lieutenants and in

        Sicily.
            (D) His successful career as a field commander reached a 
        peak when, as commander of the 12th Army Group, he greatly 
        assisted in the liberation of Europe.
            (E) This group contained the largest number of American to 
        ever serve under one commander. He became the Army Chief of
