The Committee on House Administration will come to order. The title of today's hearing is Oversight of the Smithsonian: Radical Revisionism at the National Museum of American History. I note that a quorum is present. Without objection, the chair may declare recess at any time. Also without objection, the record will remain open for five legislative days so members may submit any additional materials they wish to be included therein.
I now recognize myself for five minutes for the purpose of giving an opening statement. America has an incredible story to tell. Two hundred and fifty years ago, our forefathers declared independence from the British Empire, and we won. We launched into world history the first civilization dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Our Constitution established a republican form of government with checks and balances that protect that proposition.
We fought a civil war to preserve our union and finally free those in bondage. Since then, we've revolutionized technology, liberated Europe. We planted the American flag on the moon. The Smithsonian National Museum of American History was established by Congress to champion our story. In 1953, the Smithsonian told Congress the National American History Museum would commemorate our heritage of freedom.
At the museum's dedication in 1964, then-President Johnson said the museum would foster patriotism.
