U.S. Code as of:
01/19/04
Section 2001. Congressional statement of findings
The Congress finds that -
because a high regard for the public trust and a lively
exercise of political talents were outstanding characteristics of
the thirty-third President of the United States;
because a special interest of the man from Independence in
American history and a broad knowledge and understanding of the
American political and economic system gained by study and
experience in county and National Government culminated in the
leadership of America remembered for the quality of his
character, courage, and commonsense;
because of the desirability of encouraging young people to
recognize and provide service in the highest and best traditions
of the American political system at all levels of government, it
is especially appropriate to honor former President Harry S
Truman through the creation of a perpetual education scholarship
program to develop increased opportunities for young Americans to
prepare and pursue careers in public service.
