Ellis Island will be developed as part of the Statute of Liberty National Monument. a museum will be built on the island and park land landscaped and developed. It is hoped eventually. that the island will be connected by walkway or causeway with the proposed Jersey City waterfront park. With the passage of this joint resolution. we authorize the expenditure of $6 million to develop Ellis Island along these lines. It is an investment in needed park space and a commemoration of a most storied part of our Nations history. The shares of many immigrant sons and daughters who have contributed so much to make our Nation great are with us today. Their living descendants like myself and generations to come will deeply appreciate this deed.
