The House has approved the Senate's trimmed down version of HR 1493. The Senate did away with a controversial new State Department "Cultural Property Czar" in favor of recommending a coordinating committee. The passing of the legislation was delayed by the proponent's desire to use the Syrian crisis as a justification for the creation of a new State Department enforcement bureaucracy. It seems pretty obvious that in reality this is not so much really about "cultural heritage preservation" but "control". We need to be vigilant, the federal government has become bloated, antiquated and unresponsive to the real needs of the people, we need a government which protects the constitutional rights of citizens.
