Statement on Signing the Act Approving the Location of the George Mason 
Memorial

April 28, 1992
    Today I have signed into law H.J. Res. 402, which approves the 
location of a memorial to George Mason in the District of Columbia and 
its environs. Pursuant to the Commemorative Works Act, 40 U.S.C. 1001, 
et seq., the Congress authorized the establishment of this memorial in 
1990 (Public Law 101-358, 104 Stat. 419, August 10, 1990). On October 
10, 1991, and again on April 22, 1992, the Secretary of the Interior 
notified the Congress of his determination that the memorial should be 
located in Area I, the central monumental core of the District of 
Columbia. It is my understanding that, upon enactment of this joint 
resolution, a memorial to George Mason may be established in Area I 
without further legislation.

                                                             George Bush

The White House,
April 28, 1992.

                    Note: H.J. Res. 402, approved April 28, was assigned 
                        Public Law No. 102-277.
