In Committee

Authorizing the use of Emancipation Hall in the Capitol Visitor Center for a ceremony as part of the commemoration of the days of remembrance of victims of the Holocaust.

119th Congress Introduced Mar 5, 2025

Summary

What This Bill Does

This concurrent resolution authorizes a specific congressional facility use. It permits Emancipation Hall in the Capitol Visitor Center to be used for a ceremony connected to the days of remembrance of victims of the Holocaust. The legal effect is narrow but concrete: it clears congressional space-use permission and makes the Architect of the Capitol and Capitol Visitor Center staff responsible for supporting a remembrance ceremony in a high-visibility Capitol venue.

Who Benefits and How

Holocaust survivors benefit because the ceremony receives formal congressional space and recognition. Families of Holocaust victims benefit from a public remembrance event inside the Capitol complex. Holocaust education organizations benefit from a venue that connects remembrance with congressional civic education. Members of Congress benefit from a formal setting to participate in annual days-of-remembrance observances.

Who Bears the Burden and How

The Architect of the Capitol must support facility use and operational arrangements for Emancipation Hall. Capitol Visitor Center staff must manage access, setup, visitor flow, and event coordination. Congressional event planners must coordinate participation, security, and remembrance programming. Capitol Police must handle security requirements for the ceremony.

Key Provisions

  • Authorizes use of Emancipation Hall for a Holocaust remembrance ceremony.
  • Provides congressional approval for a specific Capitol Visitor Center event.
  • Requires Architect of the Capitol and visitor-center operational support.
