     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.''
