           By Mr. HUNTER:
       H.R. 1497.
       Congress has the power to enact this legislation pursuant 
     to the following:
       The Constitutional authority for the War Memorial 
     Protection Act is found in Section 3, Clause 2 of Article IV, 
     which states in part that ``the Congress shall have power to 
     dispose of and make all needful Rules and Regulations 
     respecting the Territory and other Property belonging to the 
     United States.'' Constitutional authority is also found in 
     Clause 18 of Article I, Section 8, which states that Congress 
     has the authority to ``make all Laws which shall be necessary 
     and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, 
     and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the 
     Government of the United States, or in any Department or 
     Officer thereof.''
