  SEC. 5. CONSTRUCTION OF A CENTER FOR PERFORMING ARTS.
  
      (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
              (1) The United States has an enriched legacy of Hispanic 
          influence in politics, government, economic development, and 
          cultural expression.
              (2) The Hispanic culture in what is now the United States 
          can be traced to 1528 when a Spanish expedition from Cuba to 
          Florida was shipwrecked on the Texas coast.
              (3) The Hispanic culture in New Mexico can be traced to 
          1539 when a Spanish Franciscan Friar, Marcos de Niza, and his 
          guide, Estevanico, traveled into present day New Mexico in 
          search of the fabled city of Cibola and made contact with the 
          people of Zuni.
              (4) The Hispanic influence in New Mexico is particularly 
          dominant and a part of daily living for all the citizens of New 
          Mexico, who are a diverse composite of racial, ethnic, and 
          cultural peoples. Don Juan de Oarte and the first New Mexican 
          families established the first capital in the United States, 
          San Juan de los Cabelleros, in July of 1598.
              (5) Based on the 1990 census, there are approximately 
          650,000 Hispanics in New Mexico, the majority having roots 
          reaching back ten or more generations.
              (6) There are an additional 200,000 Hispanics living 
          outside of New Mexico with roots in New Mexico.
              (7) The New Mexico Hispanic Cultural Center is a living 
          tribute to the Hispanic experience and will provide all 
          citizens of New Mexico, the Southwestern United States, the 
          entire United States, and around the world, an opportunity to 
          learn about, partake in, and enjoy the unique Hispanic culture, 
          and the New Mexico Hispanic Cultural Center will assure that 
          this 400-year old culture is preserved.
              (8) The New Mexico Hispanic Cultural Center will teach, 
          showcase, and share all facets of Hispanic culture, including 
          literature, performing arts, visual arts, culinary arts, and 
          language arts.
              (9) The New Mexico Hispanic Cultural Center will promote a 
          better cross-cultural understanding of the Hispanic culture and 
          the contributions of individuals to the society in which we all 
          live.
              (10) In 1993, the legislature and Governor of New Mexico 
          created the Hispanic Cultural Division as a division within the 
          Office of Cultural Affairs. One of the principal 
          responsibilities of the Hispanic Cultural Division is to 
          oversee the planning, construction, and operation of the New 
          Mexico Hispanic Cultural Center.
              (11) The mission of the New Mexico Hispanic Cultural Center 
          is to create a greater appreciation and understanding of 
          Hispanic culture.
              (12) The New Mexico Hispanic Cultural Center will serve as 
          a local, regional, national, and international site for the 
          study and advancement of Hispanic culture, expressing both the 
          rich history and the forward-looking aspirations of Hispanics 
          throughout the world.
              (13) The New Mexico Hispanic Cultural Center will be a 
          Hispanic arts and humanities showcase to display the works of 
          national and international artists, and to provide a venue for 
          educators, scholars, artists, children, elders, and the general 
          public.
              (14) The New Mexico Hispanic Cultural Center will provide a 
          venue for presenting the historic and contemporary 
          representations and achievements of the Hispanic culture.
              (15) The New Mexico Hispanic Cultural Center will sponsor 
          arts and humanities programs, including programs related to 
          visual arts of all forms (including drama, dance, and 
          traditional and contemporary music), research, literary arts, 
          genealogy, oral history, publications, and special events such 
          as, fiestas, culinary arts demonstrations, film video 
          productions, storytelling presentations and education programs.
              (16) Phase I of the New Mexico Hispanic Cultural Center 
          complex is scheduled to be completed by August of 1998 and is 
          planned to consist of an art gallery with exhibition space and 
          a museum, administrative offices, a restaurant, a ballroom, a 
          gift shop, an amphitheater, a research and literary arts 
          center, and other components.
              (17) Phase II of the New Mexico Hispanic Cultural Center 
          complex is planned to include a performing arts center 
          (containing a 700-seat theater, a stage house, and a 300-seat 
          film/video theater), a 150-seat black box theater, an art 
          studio building, a culinary arts building, and a research and 
          literary arts building.
              (18) It is appropriate for the Federal Government to share 
          in the cost of constructing the New Mexico Hispanic Cultural 
          Center because Congress recognizes that the New Mexico Hispanic 
          Cultural Center has the potential to be a premier facility for 
          performing arts and a national repository for Hispanic arts and 
          culture.
