H.R. 3567, the John F. Kennedy Center Act Amendments of 1994, provides for a five-year authorization for maintenance, repair, and capital projects at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in the District of Columbia. The legislation, as introduced, also transfers all current National Park Service responsibilities and personnel to the Kennedy Center Board of Trustees. The Center will function in the future as a Bureau of the Smithsonian Institution, and funding for nonperforming arts purposes will be provided through an appropriation directly to the Board of Trustees. H.R. 3567 was favorably reported to the House of Representatives by the Committee on Public Works and Transportation on March 24, 1994, and subsequently was referred to the Committee on Natural Resources through April 29, 1994. The Committee on Natural Resources reported the bill favorably to the House of Representatives on May 4, 1994.
