In the House of Representatives a bill was proposed by representatives Donna Edwards (Maryland) and Eddie Bernice Johnson (Texas), it proposed an establishment of a national park on the landing sites on the Moon used by the Apollo missions between 1969 and 1972.

The timing of the bill may be questionable as now a manned mission to the Moon is pretty low on the world's list of space exploration priorities. This park is expected to be established almost after a year of the passing of the bill. NASA and The Department of the Interior will join hands to look after this historic park.

The reason to establish such a park included that today a lot of commercial enterprises and the ability to land on the Moon have been acquired by the foreign nations so, it is necessary to protect the Apollo lunar landing sites for future generations to witness.

"It was noted that, in American history, the Apollo lunar program was one of the greatest achievements", said The Apollo Lunar Landing Legacy Act, House of Representatives 2617.

The bill further explains that such a park would help in greater recognition and public understanding of the singular achievement in American history. "Apollo Lunar Landing Sites" is used to refer to all the areas of the moon where astronauts and instruments touched the lunar surface during the Apollo programe between 1969 and 1972.

The funding for this park will be by donations from private companies who in return would provide visitor services and administrative facilities within reasonable proximity to the Historical Park
