Sec. 1401 - Council established; functions

There is hereby established as an independent Federal establishment the United States Holocaust Memorial Council (hereinafter in this chapter referred to as the “Council”). The Council shall—

(1) provide for appropriate ways for the Nation to commemorate the Days of Remembrance, as an annual, national, civic commemoration of the holocaust, and shall encourage and sponsor appropriate observances of such Days of Remembrance throughout the United States;

(2) plan, construct, and operate, a permanent living memorial museum to the victims of the holocaust, in cooperation with the Secretary of the Interior and other Federal agencies as provided in section 1406 1 of this title; and

(3) develop a plan for carrying out the recommendations of the President's Commission on the Holocaust in its report to the President of September 27, 1979, to the extent such recommendations are not otherwise provided for in this chapter.

(Pub. L. 96–388, §1, Oct. 7, 1980, 94 Stat. 1547; Pub. L. 99–190, §101(d) [title III, §324(1)], Dec. 19, 1985, 99 Stat. 1224, 1267; Pub. L. 102–529, §3(1), Oct. 27, 1992, 106 Stat. 3463.)

Section 1406 of this title, referred to in par. (2), was in the original “section 5”, meaning section 5 of Pub. L. 96–388, which is classified to section 1405 of this title. This reference was translated as section 1406 of this title, which was enacted by section 6 of Pub. L. 96–388, to reflect the probable intent of Congress in view of the subject matter of section 1406, which relates to the planning, construction, and operation of a permanent living memorial museum to victims of the holocaust.

1992—Par. (2). Pub. L. 102–529 substituted “operate” for “oversee the operation of”.

1985—Pub. L. 99–190 inserted “as an independent Federal establishment” after “established” in first sentence.

This section is referred to in section 1406 of this title.
