Law

This bill would officially name America's National Churchill Museum in Fulton, Missouri, as a National Historic Landmark. The museum is located at Westminster College, the site where Winston Churchill gave his famous "Iron Curtain" speech in 1946.
The Department of the Interior would be allowed to provide money and expert help to protect the museum's historic items. They would also help create educational programs for the public through agreements with the college and local leaders.
The government would start a three-year study to decide if the museum should become a full part of the National Park System. This study will look at the costs of having the federal government help run and maintain the site.
This designation would not change who owns or runs the museum. Westminster College would keep its ownership rights, and the city and state would continue their current roles in managing the property.
