Mr. Speaker, Senate bill 3201 has its House counterpart authored by the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Regula). This is an interesting bill. It is ``what is in a name.'' We currently have the National Museum of American Art, and we are going to rename that National Museum of American Art not for the first time. In 1906, this Museum of American Art was called the National Gallery of Art. But in 1937, they built a building, which most of us now know is separate, and that name was given to that separate building, the National Gallery of Art. The National Museum of American Art is confused with a number of other museums because of the national museum connotation. So this piece of legislation will once again rename this museum so that it will never be mistaken again. The new name is the Smithsonian American Art Museum.
