AR SR6

Recognizes the need to designate the museum on the former Eaker Air Force Base in Blytheville, Arkansas as the "National Cold War Center"

The Strategic Air Command program was established at Blytheville Air Force Base in 1946 (renamed Eaker Air Force Base in 1988) to oversee U.S. Air Force long-range bombing forces and conduct global offensive operations

Eaker Air Force Base closed in 1992 but housed the only publicly accessible and fully intact Alert Facility and Weapons Storage Facility in the United States, located at 4701 Memorial Drive

The National Cold War Center will educate tourists on the Cold War's influence on U.S. history and Arkansas's military role, and boost economic growth in the struggling Arkansas Delta region
