,october #g1 #bjae,mr4 ,schatz submitted
 the following concurrent resolution2   
which was referred to the ,committee on 
,energy and ,natural ,resources         
,,concurrent ,,resolution  ,supporting  
the establishment of a bipartisan       
,museum ,study ,commission to study the 
establishment of a ,national ,museum of 
the ,american ,people to tell the       
immigration and migration stories of all
 people of the ,united ,states4         
,whereas the ,united ,states was founded
 and built by people from every country 
who made the ,united ,states the        
economic1 military1 scientific1 and     
cultural leader of the world2 ,whereas  
as of ,october #bjae1 there is no       
national museum in ,washington1 ,,dc1   
that-- 7#a7 celebrates the making of the
 people of the ,united ,states2 or  7#b7
 tells the migration history of any     
group of people to or within the ,united

 ,states2 ,whereas a ,national ,museum  
of the ,american ,people would--  7#a7  
recount the history of all groups of    
people who came to the ,united ,states  
and the contributions of those people to
 the ,united ,states2  7#b7 have the    
theme ,e ,pluribus ,unum1 the original  
motto of the ,united ,states2  7#c7     
celebrate every ethnic and minority     
group in the ,united ,states2  7#d7     
foster a sense of belonging to the      
,united ,states2  7#e7 contribute to a  
common national identity as people of   
the ,united ,states2  7#f7 highlight the
 ,declaration of ,independence and the  
,constitution1 the founding documents of
 the ,united ,states2  7#g7 explore the 
ways in which those documents shaped the
 character of the people of the ,united 
,states and infused the people of the   
,united ,states with common values2 and 
7#h7 be a resource for ,state1 local1   
and ethnic museums throughout the       
,united ,states that present exhibits   
that celebrate the heritage of the      

people of the ,united ,states2  ,whereas
 the people of the ,united ,states do   
not have a comprehensive and accurate   
picture of the history of all of the    
people who founded and continue to build
 the ,united ,states2 ,whereas people   
from every ethnic group in the ,united  
,states would visit a ,national ,museum 
of the ,american ,people to learn their 
own history and the history of every    
other ethnic group in the ,united       
,states2 ,whereas a ,national ,museum of
 the ,american ,people would attract    
foreign visitors and dignitaries because
 few foreigners know the story of the   
individuals who--  7#a7 became citizens 
of the ,united ,states at the founding  
of the country2 and  7#b7 migrated to   
the ,united ,states from other          
countries2  ,whereas a museum that tells
 the story of the making of the people  
of the ,united ,states and celebrates   
all individuals who migrated and settled
 in the ,united ,states and the         
territories of the ,united ,states      

belongs near the ,national ,mall in     
,washington1 ,,dc2 ,whereas ,canada and 
,mexico have major popular museums in1  
or adjacent to1 the capital cities of   
those countries that tell the story of  
the making of the people of ,canada and 
,mexico1 respectively2 ,whereas the     
goals of a ,national ,museum of the     
,american ,people would be-- 7#a7 to be 
the best storytelling museum in the     
world2  7#b7 to recount #a of the most  
amazing stories in human history2  7#c7 
to celebrate all of the people who have 
become people of the ,united ,states2   
and  7#d7 to foster learning at the     
museum and throughout the ,united       
,states2  ,whereas non-,federal funding 
sources will be sought to defray the    
costs of a ,museum ,study ,commission to
 study the establishment of a ,national 
,museum of the ,american ,people and the
 funding will commence on the date on   
which the ,president signs an ,executive
 order creating the bipartisan          
commission2 ,whereas no ,federal        

appropriations will be sought to provide
 funding for-- 7#a7 the design1         
construction1 or operation a ,national  
,museum of the ,american ,people2 or    
7#b7 the exhibitions or components of   
the museum2 and  ,whereas the ,national 
,museum of the ,american ,people will   
benefit all people of the ,united       
,states3 ,now1 therefore1 be it  ,that  
,congress supports the establishment of 
a bipartisan ,museum ,study ,commission 
to study the establishment of a         
,national ,museum of the ,american      
,people to tell the immigration and     
migration stories of all people of the  
,united ,states1 if none of the funding 
to plan1 construct1 or operate the      
museum is from ,federal appropriations4
