(3) that American folklife has a fundamental influence on the desires, beliefs, values, and character of the American people;

(6) that it is in the interest of the general welfare of the Nation to preserve, support, revitalize, and disseminate American folklife traditions and arts.

(b) It is therefore the purpose of this chapter to establish in the Library of Congress an American Folklife Center to preserve and present American folklife. (Pub. L. 94-201, § 2, Jan. 2, 1976, 89 Stat. 1129.)
