  Commemorative Coin Act of 2003''.
  
  SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
  
      Congress finds that--
              (1) the founding of the colony at Jamestown, Virginia in 
          1607, the first permanent English colony in America, and the 
          capital of Virginia for 92 years, has major significance in the 
          history of the United States;
              (2) the Jamestown settlement brought people from throughout 
          the Atlantic Basin together to form a multicultural society, 
          including English, other Europeans, Native Americans, and 
          Africans;
              (3) the economic, political, religious, and social 
          institutions that developed during the first 9 decades of the 
          existence of Jamestown continue to have profound effects on the 
          United States, particularly in English common law and language, 
          cross cultural relationships, manufacturing, and economic 
          structure and status;
              (4) the National Park Service, the Association for the 
          Preservation of Virginia Antiquities, and the Jamestown-
          Yorktown Foundation of the Commonwealth of Virginia 
          collectively own and operate significant resources related to 
          the early history of Jamestown;
              (5) in 2000, Congress established the Jamestown 400th 
          Commemoration Commission to ensure a suitable national 
          observance of the Jamestown 2007 anniversary and to support and 
          facilitate marketing efforts for a commemorative coin, stamp, 
          and related activities for the Jamestown 2007 observances;
              (6) a commemorative coin will bring national and 
          international attention to the lasting legacy of Jamestown, 
          Virginia; and
              (7) the proceeds from a surcharge on the sale of such 
          commemorative coin will assist the financing of a suitable 
          national observance in 2007 of the 400th anniversary of the 
          founding of Jamestown, Virginia.
