Title I of the State Department Basic Authorities Act of 1956 is amended by adding after section 63 ( 22 U.S.C. 2735 ) the following new section: The Secretary of State is authorized to provide, by contract, grant, or otherwise, for the performance of appropriate museum visitor and educational outreach services and related events, including organizing programs and conference activities, museum shop services and food services in the public exhibition and related space utilized by the center for United States diplomacy. The Secretary of State is authorized to recover any revenues generated under the authority of paragraph
(1)for visitor and outreach services and related events referred to in such paragraph, including fees for use of facilities at a center for United States diplomacy. Any such revenues may be retained as a recovery of the costs of operating the Center. All historic documents, artifacts, or other articles permanently acquired by the Department of State and determined by the Secretary of State to be suitable for display by the center for United States diplomacy shall be considered to be the property of the United States Government and shall be subject to disposition solely in accordance with this subsection. Whenever the Secretary of State makes the determination described in paragraph
(3)with respect to a document, artifact, or other article under paragraph (1), the Secretary may sell at fair market value, trade, or transfer such document, artifact, or other article without regard to the requirements of subtitle I of title 40, United States Code. The proceeds of any such sale may be used solely for the advancement of the mission of the center for United States diplomacy and may not be used for any purpose other than the acquisition and direct care of the collections of the center. The determination described in this paragraph with respect to a document, artifact, or other article under paragraph (1), is a determination that— such document, artifact, or other article no longer serves to further the purposes of the center for United States diplomacy as set forth in the collections management policy of the center; the sale, trade, or transfer of such document, artifact, or other article would serve to maintain the standards of the collection of the center; or sale, trade, or transfer of such document, artifact, or other article would be in the best interests of the United States. In addition to the authorization under paragraph
(2)relating to the sale, trade, or transfer of documents, artifacts, or other articles under paragraph (1), the Secretary of State may loan such documents, artifacts, or other articles, when not needed for use or display by the center for United States diplomacy to the Smithsonian Institution or a similar institution for repair, study, or exhibition. .
