Federal Authorities Could Be Used Against Smithsonian

The Secretary of the Interior, the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, the Administrator of General Services, and the Assistant to the President for Domestic Policy are directed to identify and utilize any and all available authorities to promote the order's policy and restore trust in the Smithsonian Institution, including mechanisms to encourage correction and compliance with applicable statutes, regulations, executive actions, and funding or contract conditions.

Temporary Warning Signs for Museum Visitors

If you visit the National Museum of American History, the Secretary of the Interior, acting through the National Park Service and in coordination with the Assistant to the President for Domestic Policy, must install temporary signage along NPS‑maintained sidewalks and walkways used by the public to access the Museum informing visitors of the Report's findings and the policy in section 1 of this order, and directing visitors to locations and resources for accurate information about America's history.

Temporary Correction Exhibits on Public Land

Because the order states the Museum 'has failed to appropriately honor the 56 signers of the Declaration of Independence during this 250th anniversary year,' the Secretary of the Interior, acting through the National Park Service and in coordination with the Assistant to the President for Domestic Policy, must install temporary exhibits or signage on NPS‑maintained sidewalks, walkways, and land used by the public that corrects inaccurate information presented in the Museum.
