Placed on the Union Calendar, Calendar No. 500.
This bill gives a historic house in Leesburg, Virginia, known as the General George C. Marshall House, a special connection to the National Park System without making it a full national park. A private organization would continue to run the property, but the National Park Service could offer help with things like marketing, historical signs, and preservation. If this passes, the house gets national recognition and potential federal support, but the government does not take ownership or control of it.
A historic home tied to one of America's most important World War II generals and the architect of the Marshall Plan could gain national recognition, potentially drawing more visitors and federal preservation support to Leesburg, Virginia , without costing taxpayers much or putting the government in charge.
