The bill would authorize one Congressional Gold Medal honoring James J. Andrews and William H. Campbell for their roles as the civilian members of Andrews' Raiders during the Civil War Great Locomotive Chase. The Treasury Secretary would choose the medal’s design. After its presentation, the medal would go to the Smithsonian Institution for possible display and research.
The bill does not provide a direct personal benefit. The Smithsonian could display the medal or lend it for display elsewhere. The Treasury Secretary could also make bronze duplicates available for sale.
The bill authorizes the United States Mint Public Enterprise Fund to cover medal costs, without stating a total amount. Money from selling bronze duplicates would go back into that fund. The sale price must cover the cost of making the duplicates.
