TITLE 20--EDUCATION
CHAPTER 42--HARRY S TRUMAN MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIPS
Sec. 2001. Congressional statement of findings
The Congress finds that--
because a high regard for the public trust and a lively exercise
of political talents were outstanding characteristics of the thirty-
third President of the United States;
because a special interest of the man from Independence in
American history and a broad knowledge and understanding of the
American political and economic system gained by study and
experience in county and National Government culminated in the
leadership of America remembered for the quality of his character,
courage, and commonsense;
because of the desirability of encouraging young people to
recognize and provide service in the highest and best traditions of
the American political system at all levels of government, it is
especially appropriate to honor former President Harry S Truman
through the creation of a perpetual education scholarship program to
develop increased opportunities for young Americans to prepare and
pursue careers in public service.
