with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the Department
of Defense, and any other entities considered by the Secretary to be
appropriate, a study of locations and events associated with the
historical theme of Man in Space. The purpose of such study shall be to
identify the possible locations, components, and features of a new unit
of the national park system commemorative to this theme, with special
emphasis to be placed on the internationally historic event of the first
human contact with the surface of the moon. The study shall investigate
practical methodologies to permanently safeguard from change the
locations, structures, and at least symbolic instrumentation features
associated with this theme, and to display and interpret these for
visitor appreciation. Governmental entities controlling these locations,
structures, and features are hereby requested to preserve them from
destruction or change during the study and congressional review period
insofar as is possible. A comprehensive report derived from this study,
including potential action alternatives, shall be submitted to the
Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs of the United States House of
Representatives and to the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources of
the United States Senate no later than one complete fiscal year after
the effective date of this section.
