Sec. 4510. James Madison Memorial Fellowship Trust Fund
-STATUTE-
(a) Establishment
There shall be established in the Treasury of the United States a
trust fund consisting of appropriations and amounts contributed by
the Foundation for the Commemoration of the Constitution and other
private sources to be available, in accordance with the provisions
of this chapter, to carry out the provisions of this chapter.
(b) Investment of amounts appropriated
It shall be the duty of the Secretary of the Treasury to invest
in full the amounts appropriated and contributed to the fund. Such
investments may be made only in interest-bearing obligations of the
United States or in obligations guaranteed as to both principal and
interest by the United States. For such purpose, such obligations
may be acquired (1) on original issue at the issue price, or (2) by
purchase of outstanding obligations at the market price. The
purposes for which obligations of the United States may be issued
under chapter 31 of title 31 are hereby extended to authorize the
issuance at par of special obligations exclusively to the fund.
Such special obligations shall bear interest at a rate equal to the
average rate of interest, computed as to the end of the calendar
month next preceding the date of such issue, borne by all
marketable interest-bearing obligations of the United States then
forming a part of the public debt; except that where such average
rate is not a multiple of one-eighth of 1 per centum, the rate of
interest of such special obligations shall be the multiple of
one-eighth of 1 per centum next lower than such average rate. Such
special obligations shall be issued only if the Secretary
determines that the purchase of other obligations of the United
States, or of obligations guaranteed as to both principal and
interest by the United States or original issue at the market
price, is not in the public interest.
(c) Sale of obligations acquired by fund
Any obligations acquired by the fund (except special obligations
issued exclusively to the fund) may be sold by the Secretary at the
market price, and such special obligations may be redeemed at par
plus accrued interest.
(d) Interest and proceeds from sale or redemption of obligations
credited to fund
The interest on, and the proceeds from, the sale or redemption of
any obligations held in the fund shall be credited to and form a
part of the fund.

Sec. 4516. Constitutional Law Resource Centers
-STATUTE-
(a) Establishment
It is the purpose of this section to establish four centers where
nationally recognized distinguished experts in Constitutional law
will produce, on a periodic basis, articles of current interest
relating to the Constitution of the United States which are
suitable for use by James Madison scholars, educational
institutions, law school reviews, bar associations, and the news
media.
(b) Endowments
In order to encourage recipient universities to provide such a
continuing service, four endowments shall be established with funds
from appropriations provided herein and such other amounts as may
be contributed from other sources.
(c) Chair for Professor of Constitutional Law
The income from each endowment shall be used to help support a
chair for a Professor of Constitutional law. (FOOTNOTE 1) Each
endowment shall be held in trust with the income from the portion
provided herein used exclusively to contribute toward the salary
and related costs of the professor filling the chair and for
services directly related to the support of such professor such as
secretarial and research services. The recipient university shall
from sources other than that portion of the endowment funded herein
furnish the office, classroom and related services suitable to such
a member of the faculty.
(FOOTNOTE 1) So in original. Probably should be capitalized.
The professor holding each chair shall file a copy of such
articles with the Library of Congress, which shall make them
available to libraries in the usual manner and the recipient of the
endowment shall also make a copy available upon request by
accredited educational institutions, bar associations, and general
news media without royalty or charge other than the costs
associated with printing or reprinting, handling and distribution.
(d) Investment of endowment
That portion of each endowment provided by this chapter (FOOTNOTE
2) and any accumulations attributable to such grant shall be
invested by the recipient university in interest bearing
obligations of the United States or in obligations guaranteed both
as to principal and interest by the United States and shall be
subject to audit by the General Accounting Office for the sole
purpose of determining that such funds are accounted for or have
been used as provided herein. If a grantee university elects to
discontinue such chair and support services, the corpus of the
endowment attributable to the Federal grant shall revert to the
Treasury of the United States.
(FOOTNOTE 2) See References in Text note below.
(e) Application for grant of endowment
The application for the grant for an endowment shall require only
such information and supporting material as is reasonably necessary
to assure that the funds will be used for the purposes described
herein. Acceptance of the grant by each university shall
constitute an agreement and obligation of that university to
fulfill the obligations set forth in this section.
(f) Amount of grant of endowment; recipients of offer
The grants for each endowment shall be for $800,000 and shall be
offered to Howard University School of Law in Washington, D.C.,
Drake University School of Law in Des Moines, Iowa, the University
of Akron School of Law in Akron, Ohio, and the University of South
Carolina School of Law at Columbia, South Carolina.
