S 603 United States Senate · 119th Congress

A bill to designate the General George C. Marshall House, in the Commonwealth of Virginia, as an affiliated area of the National Park System, and for other purposes.

S 603 designates the General George C. Marshall House in Leesburg, Virginia, as an affiliated area within the National Park System. This bill directly affects the property itself and the George C. Marshall International Center, which will manage the site. Key provisions include establishing the house as a designated area to promote public appreciation of General Marshall's contributions, requiring the managing entity to follow National Park System standards, and clarifying that the Secretary of the Interior cannot acquire property or assume financial responsibility for the site's operations. The bill focuses on formalizing the site's status within the park system framework without altering its current ownership or management structure.

MINOR
This diff reflects the standard transition from an engrossed Senate bill to an enrolled bill. The substantive policy content establishing the General George C. Marshall House as an affiliated area of the National Park System is unchanged. The only additions are standard enrolled bill formatting elements including the title page, GPO metadata, session information, enactment preamble language, and signature blocks for the Speaker and Vice President.
TECHNICAL

Standard enrolled bill boilerplate was added: title page with GPO metadata, 119th Congress session information, 'An Act' heading, 'Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives' preamble language, and signature blocks for the Speaker of the House and Vice President.

The same substantive provisions (subsections a through f) were reformatted with proper enrolled bill styling including section numbering, bold subsection labels, and standardized punctuation. No policy content was altered.
