[[Page H10420]]

SEC. 302. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

(a) Findings.--The Congress finds the following:
(1) The struggle of African-Americans for greater roles in
North American military conflicts spans the 17th, 18th, 19th,
and 20th centuries. Opportunities for African-American
participation in the United States military were always very
limited and controversial. Quotas, exclusion, and racial
discrimination were based on the prevailing attitude in the
United States, particularly on the part of the United States
military, that African-Americans did not possess the
intellectual capacity, aptitude, and skills to be successful
fighters.
(2) As late as the 1940's these perceptions continued
within the United States military. Key leaders within the
United States Army Air Corps did not believe that African-
Americans possessed the capacity to become successful
military pilots. After succumbing to pressure exerted by
civil rights groups and the black press, the Army decided to
train a small number of African-American pilot cadets under
special conditions. Although prejudice and discrimination
against African-Americans was a national phenomenon, not just
a southern trait, it was more intense in the South where it
had hardened into rigidly enforced patterns of segregation.
Such was the environment where the military chose to locate
the training of the Tuskegee Airmen.
(3) The military selected Tuskegee Institute (now known as
Tuskegee University) as a civilian contractor for a variety
of reasons. These included the school's existing facilities,
engineering and technical instructors, and a climate with
ideal flying conditions year round. Tuskegee Institute's
strong interest in providing aeronautical training for
African-American youths was also an important factor.
Students from the school's civilian pilot training program
had some of the best test scores when compared to other
students from programs across the Southeast.
(4) In 1941 the United States Army Air Corps awarded a
contract to Tuskegee Institute to operate a primary flight
school at Moton Field. Tuskegee Institute (now known as
Tuskegee University) chose an African-American contractor who
designed and constructed Moton Field, with the assistance of
its faculty and students, as the site for its military pilot
training program. The field was named for the school's second
president, Robert Russa Moton. Consequently, Tuskegee
Institute was one of a very few American institutions (and
the only African-American institution) to own, develop, and
control facilities for military flight instruction.
(5) Moton Field, also known as the Primary Flying Field or
Airport Number 2, was the only primary flight training
facility for African-American pilot candidates in the United
States Army Air Corps during World War II. The facility
symbolizes the entrance of African-American pilots into the
United States Army Air Corps, although on the basis of a
policy of segregation that was mandated by the military and
institutionalized in the South. The facility also symbolizes
the singular role of Tuskegee Institute (Tuskegee University)
in providing leadership as well as economic and educational
resources to make that entry possible.
(6) The Tuskegee Airmen were the first African-American
soldiers to complete their training successfully and to enter
the United States Army Air Corps. Almost 1,000 aviators were
trained as America's first African-American military pilots.
In addition, more than 10,000 military and civilian African-
American men and women served as flight instructors,
officers, bombardiers, navigators, radio technicians,
mechanics, air traffic controllers, parachute riggers,
electrical and communications specialists, medical
professionals, laboratory assistants, cooks, musicians,
supply, firefighting, and transportation personnel.
(7) Although military leaders were hesitant to use the
Tuskegee Airmen in combat, the Airmen eventually saw
considerable action in North Africa and Europe. Acceptance
from United States Army Air Corps units came slowly, but
their courageous and, in many cases, heroic performance
earned them increased combat opportunities and respect.
(8) The successes of the Tuskegee Airmen proved to the
American public that African-Americans, when given the
opportunity, could become effective military leaders and
pilots. This helped pave the way for desegregation of the
military, beginning with President Harry S. Truman's
Executive Order 9981 in 1948. The Tuskegee Airmen's success
also helped set the stage for civil rights advocates to
continue the struggle to end racial discrimination during the
civil rights movement of the 1950's and 1960's.
(9) The story of the Tuskegee Airmen also reflects the
struggle of African-Americans to achieve equal rights, not
only through legal attacks on the system of segregation, but
also through the techniques of nonviolent direct action. The
members of the 477th Bombardment Group, who staged a
nonviolent demonstration to desegregate the officer's club at
Freeman Field, Indiana, helped set the pattern for direct
action protests popularized by civil rights activists in
later decades.
(b) Purposes.--The purposes of this title are the
following:
(1) To inspire present and future generations to strive for
excellence by understanding and appreciating the heroic
legacy of the Tuskegee Airmen, through interpretation and
education, and the preservation of cultural resources at
Moton Field, which was the site of primary flight training.
(2) To commemorate and interpret--
(A) the impact of the Tuskegee Airmen during World War II;
(B) the training process for the Tuskegee Airmen, including
the roles played by Moton Field, other training facilities,
and related sites;
(C) the African-American struggle for greater participation
in the United States Armed Forces and more significant roles
in defending their country;
(D) the significance of successes of the Tuskegee Airmen in
leading to desegregation of the United States Armed Forces
shortly after World War II; and
(E) the impacts of Tuskegee Airmen accomplishments on
subsequent civil rights advances of the 1950's and 1960's.
(3) To recognize the strategic role of Tuskegee Institute
(now Tuskegee University) in training the airmen and
commemorating them at this historic site.

SEC. 505. ROSIE THE RIVETER NATIONAL PARK SERVICE AFFILIATED
SITE.

(a) Findings.--The Congress finds the following:
(1) The City of Richmond, California, is located on the
northeastern shore of San Francisco Bay and consists of
several miles of waterfront which have been used for shipping
and industry since the beginning of the 20th century. During
the years of World War II, the population of Richmond grew
from 220 to over 100,000.
(2) An area of Richmond, California, now known as Marina
Park and Marina Green, was the location in the 1940's of the
Richmond Kaiser Shipyards, which produced Liberty and Victory
ships during World War II.
(3) Thousands of women of all ages and ethnicities moved
from across the United States to Richmond, California, in
search of high paying jobs and skills never before available
to women in the shipyards.
(4) Kaiser Corporation supported women workers by
installing child care centers at the shipyards so mothers
could work while their children were well cared for nearby.
(5) These women, referred to as ``Rosie the Riveter'' and
``Wendy the Welder'', built hundreds of liberty and victory
ships in record time for use by the United States Navy. Their
labor played a crucial role in increasing American
productivity during the war years and in meeting the demand
for naval ships.
(6) In part the Japanese plan to defeat the United States
Navy was predicated on victory occurring before United States
shipyards could build up its fleet of ships.
(7) The City of Richmond, California, has dedicated the
former site of Kaiser Shipyard #2 as Rosie the Riveter
Memorial Park and will construct a memorial honoring American
women's labor during World War II. The memorial will be
representative of one of the Liberty ships built on the site
during the war effort.
(8) The City of Richmond, California, is committed to
collective interpretative oral histories for the public to
learn of the stories of the ``Rosies'' and ``Wendys'' who
worked in the shipyards.
(9) The Rosie the Riveter Park is a nationally significant
site because there tens of thousands of women entered the
work force for the first time, working in heavy industry to
support their families and the War effort. This was a turning
point for the Richmond, California, area and the nation as a
whole, when women joined the workforce and successfully
completed jobs for which previously it was believed they were
incapable.
(b) Study.--
(1) In general.--The Secretary of the Interior shall
conduct a feasibility study to determine whether--
(A) the Rosie the Riveter Park located in Richmond,
California, is suitable for designation as an affiliated site
to the National Park Service; and
(B) the Rosie the Riveter Memorial Committee established by
the City of Richmond, California, with respect to that park
is eligible for technical assistance for interpretative
functions relating to the park, including preservation of
oral histories from former works at the Richmond Kaiser
Shipyards.
(2) Reports.--Not later than 6 months after the date of the
enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall complete the study
under paragraph (1) and submit a report containing findings,
conclusions, and recommendations from the study to the
Committee on Resources of the House of Representatives and
the Committee on Energy and Environment of the Senate.
