WASHINGTON, D.C. – On learning that the president today signed S.2739, legislation that includes the Commission to Study the Potential Creation of a National Museum of the American Latino Act (H.R.512/S.500), Representative Xavier Becerra (CA-31), Assistant to the Speaker of the House and author of the museum legislation, issued the following statement:
“If progress is measured in baby steps, I think it's fair to say that the president's pen today has brought this important project into its adolescence. It is my hope that the commission will begin its work soon so that this vision, this dream, will further mature into full reality. It is truly an incredible day.”
