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.
