H.Con.Res.22 - Authorizing the use of Emancipation Hall in the Capitol Visitor Center for a ceremony to present the Congressional Gold Medals awarded under the 'Six Triple Eight' Congressional Gold Medal Act of 2021.
This resolution authorizes the use of Emancipation Hall in the Capitol Visitor Center for a formal ceremony on April 29, 2025, to present the Congressional Gold Medals awarded under the "Six Triple Eight" Congressional Gold Medal Act of 2021. The medals honor the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion, an all-Black, all-female unit of the Women's Army Corps that served during World War II. The resolution primarily affects congressional and Capitol facility operations, granting permission for the event to take place in this specific location. It also directs that any physical setup or preparations for the ceremony must follow guidelines set by the Architect of the Capitol. The measure does not involve new funding or ongoing programs; it simply authorizes the venue and logistical framework for the one-time award ceremony.
