SEC. 2.

(b) The design and plans for such memorial shall be subject to the approval of the Secretary of the Interior, the Commission of Fine Arts, and the National Capital Planning Commission. (c) Neither the United States nor the District of Columbia shall be put to any expense in the establishment of the memorial. SEC. 3.

SEC. 4. If the site for the memorial authorized herein shall be on public grounds belonging to or under the jurisdiction of the District of Columbia, the words "Mayor of the District of Columbia" shall be substituted for the words "Secretary of the Interior" at each place in sections 2 and 3 of this Act where the words "Secretary of the Interior" appear.
