JOINT RESOLUTION
Approving the location of the memorial to the women who served in Vietnam.
Whereas Public Law 99-652 provides that the location of a commemorative
work in the area described therein as area I shall be deemed disapproved
unless, not later than 150 days after the Secretary of the Interior or the
Administrator of General Services notifies the Congress of his determination
that the commemorative work should be located in area I, the location is
approved by law;
Whereas Public Law 100-660 authorizes the Vietnam Women's Memorial Project,
Inc., to establish a memorial on Federal land in the District of Columbia
or its environs to honor women who served in the armed forces of the United
States in the Republic of Vietnam during the Vietnam era;
Whereas Public Law 100-660 states that the sense of the Congress is that
it would be most fitting and appropriate to place the memorial within the
2.2-acre site of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in the District of Columbia
which is within area I; and
Whereas the Secretary of the Interior has notified the Congress of his
determination that the memorial authorized by Public Law 100-660 should be
located in area I: Now, therefore, be it
  Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States
  of America in Congress assembled, That the location of a commemorative
  work to honor women who served in the armed forces of the United States
  in the Republic of Vietnam during the Vietnam era, authorized by Public
  Law 100-660 (40 U.S.C. 1003 note) in the area described in section 6(a)
  of Public Law 99-652 (40 U.S.C. 1006(a)) as area I, is hereby approved.
