     inventory of resources conducted by the Mississippi River 
     Heritage Corridor Study Commission.
       (b) Transportation Routes.--(1) The study shall include 
     recommendations on appropriate designation and interpretation 
     of historically significant roads, trails, byways, waterways, 
     or other routes within the Delta Region.
       (2) In order to provide for public appreciation, education, 
     understanding, interpretation, and enjoyment of the 
     significant sites identified pursuant to subsection (a), 
     which are accessible by public roads, the Secretary 
     shall recommend in the study vehicular tour routes along

       Sec. 906. Delta Region Heritage Corridors and Heritage and 
     Cultural Centers.--(a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
       (1) in 1990, the Congress authorized the Institute of 
     Museum Services to prepare a report assessing the needs of 
     small, emerging, minority, and rural museums in order to 
     identify the resources such museums needed to meet their 
     educational mission, to identify the areas of museum 
     operation in which the needs were greatest, and to make 
     recommendations on how these needs could best be met;
       (2) the Institute of Museum Services undertook a 
     comprehensive eighteen month study of such needs with the 
     assistance of two advisory groups, surveyed 524 museums from 
     throughout the Nation, held discussion groups in which 
     representatives of 25 museum groups participated, and 
     conducted case studies of 12 museum facilities around the 
     Nation;
       (3) on the basis of this assessment, the Institute of 
     Museum Services issued a report in September, 1992, entitled, 
     ``National Needs Assessment of Small, Emerging, Minority and 
     Rural Museums in the United States'' (hereinafter ``National 
     Needs Assessment'') which found that small, emerging, 
     minority, and rural museums provide valuable educational and 
     cultural resources for their communities and contain a 
     reservoir of the Nation's material, cultural and historical 
     heritage, but due to inadequate resources are unable to meet 
     their full potential or the demands of the surrounding 
     communities;
       (4) the needs of these institutions are not being met 
     through existing Federal programs;
       (5) fewer than half of the participants in the survey had 
     applied for Federal assistance in the past two years and that 
     many small, emerging, minority and rural museums believe 
     existing Federal programs do not meet their needs;
       (6) based on the National Needs Assessment, that funding 
     agencies should increase support available to small, 
     emerging, minority, and rural museums and make specific 
     recommendations for increasing technical assistance in order 
     to identify such institutions and provide assistance to 
     facilitate their participation in Federal programs;
       (7) the Delta Initiatives Report made specific 
     recommendations for the creation and development of centers 
     for the preservation of the cultural, historical, and 
     literary heritage of the Delta Region, including 
     recommendations for the establishment of a Delta Region 
     Native American Heritage and Cultural Center and a Delta 
     Region African American Heritage and Cultural Center with 
     additional satellite centers or museums linked throughout the 
     Delta Region;
       (8) the Delta Initiatives Report stated that new ways of 
     coordinating, preserving, and promoting the Delta Region's 
     literature, art, and music should be establishing including 
     the creation of a network to promote the Delta Region's 
     literary, artistic, and musical heritage; and
       (9) wholesale destruction and attrition of archeological 
     sites and structures has eliminated a significant portion of 
     Native American heritage as well and museums. Furthermore, 
     site and structure destruction is so severe that an ambitious 
     program of site and structure acquisition in the Delta Region 
     is necessary.
       (b) General.--The Secretary, in consultation with the 
     States of the Delta Region, the Chairman of the National

                JOHNSTON (AND OTHERS) AMENDMENT NO. 1626

  Mr. JOHNSTON (for himself, Mr. Breaux, Ms. Moseley-Braun, and Mr. 
Cochran) proposed an amendment to the bill S. 21, supra; as follows:

       At the end of the bill, insert the following new title:

                               TITLE ----

     SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

       This title may be cited as the ``New Orleans Jazz National 
     Historical Park Act of 1994''.

     SEC.   . FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that:
       (1) Jazz is the United States' most widely recognized 
     indigenous music and art form. Congress previously recognized 
     jazz in 1987 through Senate Concurrent Resolution 57 as a 
     rare and valuable national treasure of international 
     importance.
       (2) The city of New Orleans is widely recognized as the 
     birthplace of jazz. In and around this city, cultural and 
     musical elements blended to form the unique American music 
     that is known as New Orleans jazz, which is an expression of 
     the cultural diversity of the lower Mississippi Delta Region.
       (3) Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and Preserve was 
     established to commemorate the cultural diversity of the 
     lower Mississippi Delta Region including a range of cultural 
     expressions like jazz.
       (b) Purpose.--In furtherance of the need to recognize the 
     value and importance of jazz, it is the purpose of this Act 
     to establish a New Orleans Jazz National Historical Park to 
     preserve the origins, early history, development and 
     progression of jazz; provide visitors with opportunities to 
     experience the sights, sounds, and places where jazz evolved; 
     and implement innovative ways of establishing jazz 
     educational partnerships that will help to ensure that jazz 
     continues as a vital element of the culture of New Orleans 
     and our Nation.

     SEC.   . ESTABLISHMENT.

       (a) In General.--In order to assist in the preservation, 
     education, and interpretation of jazz as it has evolved in 
     New Orleans, and to provide technical assistance to a broad 
     range of organizations involved with jazz music and its 
     history, there is hereby established the New Orleans Jazz 
     National Historical Park (hereinafter referred to as the 
     ``historical park''). The historical park shall be 
     administered in conjunction with the Jean Lafitte National 
     Historical Park and Preserve, which was established to 
     preserve and interpret the cultural and natural resources of 
     the lower Mississippi Delta Region.
       (b) Area Included.--The historical park shall consist of 
     lands and interests therein as follows:
       (1) Lands which the Secretary of the Interior (hereinafter 
     referred to as ``the Secretary'') may designate for an 
     interpretive visitor center complex.
       (2) Sites that are the subject of cooperative agreements 
     with the National Park Service for the purposes of 
     interpretive demonstrations and programs associated with the 
     purposes of this title.
       (3)(A) Sites designated by the Secretary as provided in 
     subparagraph (B).
       (B)(i) No later than 18 months after the date of enactment 
     of this Act, the Secretary is directed to complete a national 
     historic landmark evaluation of sites associated with jazz in 
     and around New Orleans as identified in the document entitled 
     ``New Orleans Jazz Special Resource Study'', prepared by the 
     National Park Service pursuant to Public Law 101-499. In 
     undertaking the evaluation, the Secretary shall, to the 
     extent practicable, utilize existing information relating to 
     such sites.
       (ii) If any of the sites evaluated are found to meet the 
     standards of the National Historic Landmark program and 
     National Park Service tests of suitability and feasibility, 
     and offer outstanding opportunities to further the purposes 
     of this title, the Secretary may designate such sites as part 
     of the historical park, following consultation with the 
     owners of such sites, the city of New Orleans, the 
     Smithsonian Institution, and the New Orleans Jazz Commission, 
     and notification to the Committee on Energy and Natural 
     Resources of the United States Senate and the Committee on
