Marshall House designated National Park affiliate
If enacted, this bill would make the General George C. Marshall House in Virginia an affiliated area of the National Park System. The affiliated area would match the map numbered 999/189,974 dated September 2023. The George C. Marshall International Center would be the site's management entity. The Interior Secretary would be able to give technical help and enter cooperative agreements to support marketing, marking, interpretation, and preservation, but would not be allowed to acquire property or assume operation, maintenance, or management responsibility.
Protects adjacent property owners' rights
If enacted, this bill would state that nothing in the Act creates buffer zones outside the Marshall House. It would not change the land-use rights of private property owners next to the site. The bill would say that an activity outside the house being seen, heard, or detected from inside would not, by itself, let the government limit or control that outside activity.
