Commission to Establish the National Museum of the American Latino Act
of 2003 (H.R. 3292)
A study of the feasibility of establishing a National Museum of the American
Latino was referred to the House committed on October 15, 2003.
The commission will develop a plan of action for establishment and maintenance
of the National Museum of the American Latino in Washington, D.C. The
Museum endeavors to increase awareness in the diverse histories and cultures
wrapped in the Latino community. Latin Americans are this country’s

U.S. House of Representatives
Washington, DC
Dear Representative:
Thank you very much for your support of H.R. 3292, the Commission to Establish
the National Museum of the American Latino Act of 2003.
The establishment of a museum on the culture of this country’s largest
minority population will help make the understanding of our American history
complete. Placing such an institution on the Mall in Washington, DC -
near the National Museum of the Native American and the proposed National
Museum of African American History - will increase awareness of the diversity
of histories which defines this national landscape. You are helping to
preserve and grow our country’s cultural heritage.
Your support and involvement is greatly appreciated.
With gratitude,
