CHAPTER 3--SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, NATIONAL MUSEUMS AND ART GALLERIES
SUBCHAPTER XI--WOODROW WILSON INTERNATIONAL CENTER FOR SCHOLARS
Sec. 80e. Congressional declaration of policy
The Congress hereby finds and declares--
(1) that a living institution expressing the ideals and concerns
of Woodrow Wilson would be an appropriate memorial to his
accomplishments as the twenty-eighth President of the United States,
a distinguished scholar, an outstanding university president, and a
brilliant advocate of international understanding;
(2) that the Woodrow Wilson Memorial Commission, created by
joint resolution of Congress, recommended that an International
Center for Scholars be constructed in the District of Columbia in
the area north of the proposed Market Square as part of the Nation's
memorial to Woodrow Wilson;
(3) that such a center, symbolizing and strengthening the
fruitful relation between the world of learning and the world of
public affairs, would be a suitable memorial to the spirit of
Woodrow Wilson; and
(4) that the establishment of such a center would be consonant
with the purposes of the Smithsonian Institution, created by
Congress in 1846 ``for the increase and diffusion of knowledge among
men.''
