 
            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.
