SA 388. Ms. KLOBUCHAR (for Mrs. Murray) proposed an amendment to the concurrent resolution S. Con.

In the resolving clause, insert before the period at the end the following: “and that, in order to preserve, protect, and maintain the limited amount of space available at Arlington National Cemetery and ensure that future proposals for commemorative works are appropriately designed, constructed, and located and reflect a consensus of the lasting national significance of the subjects involved, the President of the United States, as Commander in Chief, should establish an Arlington National Cemetery Memorial Advisory Commission and procedures for the evaluation and approval of new monuments and memorials comparable to those in chapter 89 of title 40, United States Code (commonly referred to as the ‘Commemorative Works Act')”.
