U.S. Code as of:
01/19/04
Section 4354. Buildings and grounds: memorial hall; buildings for religious worship
(a) The memorial hall at the Academy is a repository for statues,
busts, mural tablets, portraits of distinguished and deceased
officers and graduates of the Academy, paintings of battle scenes,
trophies of war, and other objects that may tend to elevate the
military profession. No object may be placed in this hall without
the approval of two-thirds of the members of the Academic Board of
the Academy by a recorded vote taken by ayes and nays.
(b) The Secretary of the Army may authorize any denomination,
sect, or religious body to erect a building for religious worship
on the West Point Military Reservation, if its erection will not
interfere with the use of the reservation for military purposes and
will be without expense to the United States. Such a building shall
be removed, or its location changed, without compensation for it
and without other expense to the United States, by the
denomination, sect, or religious body that erected it, whenever in
the opinion of the Secretary public or military necessity so
requires.
