This bill authorizes the award of a Congressional Gold Medal to the Hmong people, recognizing their highly distinguished service during the Vietnam War and their fight against communism. Congress finds that over 30,000 Hmong men fought against North Vietnamese and Pathet Lao forces, gathering intelligence, disrupting supply lines, and rescuing American pilots. They suffered heavy casualties, with a death rate ten times higher than American soldiers, leading to displacement and eventual refuge for over 150,000 Hmong in the United States. The legislation directs the Speaker of the House and the President pro tempore of the Senate to present the gold medal, which the Secretary of the Treasury will design and strike. Following its presentation, the medal will be transferred to the Smithsonian Institution for display and research. Congress also expresses a sense that the Smithsonian should make the medal available for display at other locations associated with the Hmong people's service, and authorizes the striking and sale of bronze duplicates.
