It is currently the case. for instance. Madam President. that the StarSpangled Banner. the actual flag that prompted Francis Scott Key to write our Nations national anthem. is in desperate need of financial support for purposes of preserving that flag. Ellis Island. the site of the arrival of millions of immigrants to this countryone of the true historical treasuresis in decay and in desperate need of support. The Presidential Papers of many of our Nations Chief Executives are in a position where the preservation of those documents is at risk. My amendment will allocate the funds that are being reduced from the NEA to the support of these national treasures. treasures which I think virtually every Member of Congress could agree deserve support.
