On Wednesday July 26, Sens. Richard Durbin (D-IL) and Norm Coleman (R-MN) introduced legislation to create the Abraham Lincoln Study Abroad Program. Drawing on the recommendations of the Commission on the Abraham Lincoln Study Abroad Fellowship Program issued last November, the legislation, S. 3744, would create a program that encourages not less than one million undergraduate students at institutions of higher education in the U.S. to study abroad for academic credit within 10 years of enactment.
