Directs the Secretary of the Interior to: (1) review and report to the appropriate congressional committees on the administration of Midway Atoll and the designation of the Atoll as a National Memorial; and (2) designate another agency to replace the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service as administrator of Midway Atoll and developer of the Memorial.
Declares the intention of Congress that: (1) the National Memorial on Midway Atoll be given equal consideration with concerns over the preservation of wildlife in all matters related to the administration, development and preservation of the Atoll; (2) Midway's airport remain in use as an alternative emergency site in order to ensure the safety of civilian and military aircraft in the northern Pacific region; and (3) the public continue to have meaningful access to the Atoll so as to experience and benefit from its status as both a National Memorial to the Battle of Midway and a National Wildlife Refuge.
