The bill would award Doris Miller a Congressional Gold Medal after his death, honoring his actions as a Navy sailor during World War II. It directs the Treasury Secretary to create the medal and present it on behalf of Congress. After the presentation, the medal would go to the Smithsonian Institution for possible display and research.
The Smithsonian could display the medal and make it available for research. Congress also expresses that the Smithsonian should make it available for display at other appropriate locations connected to Miller. The Treasury Secretary may make bronze copies available for sale.
The bill authorizes the United States Mint Public Enterprise Fund to cover the costs of making the medals. Money from sales of bronze copies would go into that fund. No publicly available information gives a total cost.
