[[Page H10420]]

     SEC. 302. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds the following:
       (1) The struggle of African-Americans for greater roles in 
     North American military conflicts spans the 17th, 18th, 19th, 
     and 20th centuries. Opportunities for African-American 
     participation in the United States military were always very 
     limited and controversial. Quotas, exclusion, and racial 
     discrimination were based on the prevailing attitude in the 
     United States, particularly on the part of the United States 
     military, that African-Americans did not possess the 
     intellectual capacity, aptitude, and skills to be successful 
     fighters.
       (2) As late as the 1940's these perceptions continued 
     within the United States military. Key leaders within the 
     United States Army Air Corps did not believe that African-
     Americans possessed the capacity to become successful 
     military pilots. After succumbing to pressure exerted by 
     civil rights groups and the black press, the Army decided to 
     train a small number of African-American pilot cadets under 
     special conditions. Although prejudice and discrimination 
     against African-Americans was a national phenomenon, not just 
     a southern trait, it was more intense in the South where it 
     had hardened into rigidly enforced patterns of segregation. 
     Such was the environment where the military chose to locate 
     the training of the Tuskegee Airmen.
       (3) The military selected Tuskegee Institute (now known as 
     Tuskegee University) as a civilian contractor for a variety 
     of reasons. These included the school's existing facilities, 
     engineering and technical instructors, and a climate with 
     ideal flying conditions year round. Tuskegee Institute's 
     strong interest in providing aeronautical training for 
     African-American youths was also an important factor. 
     Students from the school's civilian pilot training program 
     had some of the best test scores when compared to other 
     students from programs across the Southeast.
       (4) In 1941 the United States Army Air Corps awarded a 
     contract to Tuskegee Institute to operate a primary flight 
     school at Moton Field. Tuskegee Institute (now known as 
     Tuskegee University) chose an African-American contractor who 
     designed and constructed Moton Field, with the assistance of 
     its faculty and students, as the site for its military pilot 
     training program. The field was named for the school's second 
     president, Robert Russa Moton. Consequently, Tuskegee 
     Institute was one of a very few American institutions (and 
     the only African-American institution) to own, develop, and 
     control facilities for military flight instruction.
       (5) Moton Field, also known as the Primary Flying Field or 
     Airport Number 2, was the only primary flight training 
     facility for African-American pilot candidates in the United 
     States Army Air Corps during World War II. The facility 
     symbolizes the entrance of African-American pilots into the 
     United States Army Air Corps, although on the basis of a 
     policy of segregation that was mandated by the military and 
     institutionalized in the South. The facility also symbolizes 
     the singular role of Tuskegee Institute (Tuskegee University) 
     in providing leadership as well as economic and educational 
     resources to make that entry possible.
       (6) The Tuskegee Airmen were the first African-American 
     soldiers to complete their training successfully and to enter 
     the United States Army Air Corps. Almost 1,000 aviators were 
     trained as America's first African-American military pilots. 
     In addition, more than 10,000 military and civilian African-
     American men and women served as flight instructors, 
     officers, bombardiers, navigators, radio technicians, 
     mechanics, air traffic controllers, parachute riggers, 
     electrical and communications specialists, medical 
     professionals, laboratory assistants, cooks, musicians, 
     supply, firefighting, and transportation personnel.
       (7) Although military leaders were hesitant to use the 
     Tuskegee Airmen in combat, the Airmen eventually saw 
     considerable action in North Africa and Europe. Acceptance 
     from United States Army Air Corps units came slowly, but 
     their courageous and, in many cases, heroic performance 
     earned them increased combat opportunities and respect.
       (8) The successes of the Tuskegee Airmen proved to the 
     American public that African-Americans, when given the 
     opportunity, could become effective military leaders and 
     pilots. This helped pave the way for desegregation of the 
     military, beginning with President Harry S. Truman's 
     Executive Order 9981 in 1948. The Tuskegee Airmen's success 
     also helped set the stage for civil rights advocates to 
     continue the struggle to end racial discrimination during the 
     civil rights movement of the 1950's and 1960's.
       (9) The story of the Tuskegee Airmen also reflects the 
     struggle of African-Americans to achieve equal rights, not 
     only through legal attacks on the system of segregation, but 
     also through the techniques of nonviolent direct action. The 
     members of the 477th Bombardment Group, who staged a 
     nonviolent demonstration to desegregate the officer's club at 
     Freeman Field, Indiana, helped set the pattern for direct 
     action protests popularized by civil rights activists in 
     later decades.
       (b) Purposes.--The purposes of this title are the 
     following:
       (1) To inspire present and future generations to strive for 
     excellence by understanding and appreciating the heroic 
     legacy of the Tuskegee Airmen, through interpretation and 
     education, and the preservation of cultural resources at 
     Moton Field, which was the site of primary flight training.
       (2) To commemorate and interpret--
       (A) the impact of the Tuskegee Airmen during World War II;
       (B) the training process for the Tuskegee Airmen, including 
     the roles played by Moton Field, other training facilities, 
     and related sites;
       (C) the African-American struggle for greater participation 
     in the United States Armed Forces and more significant roles 
     in defending their country;
       (D) the significance of successes of the Tuskegee Airmen in 
     leading to desegregation of the United States Armed Forces 
     shortly after World War II; and
       (E) the impacts of Tuskegee Airmen accomplishments on 
     subsequent civil rights advances of the 1950's and 1960's.
       (3) To recognize the strategic role of Tuskegee Institute 
     (now Tuskegee University) in training the airmen and 
     commemorating them at this historic site.

     SEC. 505. ROSIE THE RIVETER NATIONAL PARK SERVICE AFFILIATED 
                   SITE.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds the following:
       (1) The City of Richmond, California, is located on the 
     northeastern shore of San Francisco Bay and consists of 
     several miles of waterfront which have been used for shipping 
     and industry since the beginning of the 20th century. During 
     the years of World War II, the population of Richmond grew 
     from 220 to over 100,000.
       (2) An area of Richmond, California, now known as Marina 
     Park and Marina Green, was the location in the 1940's of the 
     Richmond Kaiser Shipyards, which produced Liberty and Victory 
     ships during World War II.
       (3) Thousands of women of all ages and ethnicities moved 
     from across the United States to Richmond, California, in 
     search of high paying jobs and skills never before available 
     to women in the shipyards.
       (4) Kaiser Corporation supported women workers by 
     installing child care centers at the shipyards so mothers 
     could work while their children were well cared for nearby.
       (5) These women, referred to as ``Rosie the Riveter'' and 
     ``Wendy the Welder'', built hundreds of liberty and victory 
     ships in record time for use by the United States Navy. Their 
     labor played a crucial role in increasing American 
     productivity during the war years and in meeting the demand 
     for naval ships.
       (6) In part the Japanese plan to defeat the United States 
     Navy was predicated on victory occurring before United States 
     shipyards could build up its fleet of ships.
       (7) The City of Richmond, California, has dedicated the 
     former site of Kaiser Shipyard #2 as Rosie the Riveter 
     Memorial Park and will construct a memorial honoring American 
     women's labor during World War II. The memorial will be 
     representative of one of the Liberty ships built on the site 
     during the war effort.
       (8) The City of Richmond, California, is committed to 
     collective interpretative oral histories for the public to 
     learn of the stories of the ``Rosies'' and ``Wendys'' who 
     worked in the shipyards.
       (9) The Rosie the Riveter Park is a nationally significant 
     site because there tens of thousands of women entered the 
     work force for the first time, working in heavy industry to 
     support their families and the War effort. This was a turning 
     point for the Richmond, California, area and the nation as a 
     whole, when women joined the workforce and successfully 
     completed jobs for which previously it was believed they were 
     incapable.
       (b) Study.--
       (1) In general.--The Secretary of the Interior shall 
     conduct a feasibility study to determine whether--
       (A) the Rosie the Riveter Park located in Richmond, 
     California, is suitable for designation as an affiliated site 
     to the National Park Service; and
       (B) the Rosie the Riveter Memorial Committee established by 
     the City of Richmond, California, with respect to that park 
     is eligible for technical assistance for interpretative 
     functions relating to the park, including preservation of 
     oral histories from former works at the Richmond Kaiser 
     Shipyards.
       (2) Reports.--Not later than 6 months after the date of the 
     enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall complete the study 
     under paragraph (1) and submit a report containing findings, 
     conclusions, and recommendations from the study to the 
     Committee on Resources of the House of Representatives and 
     the Committee on Energy and Environment of the Senate.
