SECTION 1. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds that--
            (1) in 1933, Lloyd W. Smith was instrumental in the 
        establishment of the Nation's first national historical park, 
        Morristown National Historical Park, in Morristown, New Jersey, 
        with his donation of much of the land for the Jockey Hollow 
        Unit of the park;
            (2) in 1955, upon his death, his extensive library and 
        archival collection was donated to Morristown National 
        Historical Park, provided that an appropriate building was 
        constructed to house the collection;
            (3) in 1957, a new library wing to the Washington's 
        Headquarters Museum was built to house the collections;
            (4) in 2007, a new and larger library wing was added to the 
        museum to better preserve and display the extensive collection, 
        and the former library wing of the museum was converted to an 
        archives gallery; and
            (5) Lloyd W. Smith's significant contributions to the 
        establishment of the Morristown National Historical Park and to 
        the establishment of the renowned library with an extensive 
        archives collection should be recognized.
