Rick St. Hilaire ('House Bill Calls for Cultural Property Protection Czar and Import Restrictions on Syrian Heritage in Jeopardy', Cultural Heritage Lawyer Blog Monday, November 17, 2014) has a full account of the Protect and Preserve International Cultural Property Act (H.R. 5703) proposed by Congressmen Chris Smith (R-N.J.-4) and Eliot Engel (D-N.Y.-16).
"The bill would create a cultural property protection czar and set up import restrictions to prevent looted and smuggled Syrian heritage material from crossing America's borders", worth a read.
