Latest Action · June 17, 2025
Submitted in the Senate, considered, and agreed to without amendment and with a preamble by Unanimous Consent. (consideration: CR S3442; text: CR S3440-3441)
This Senate resolution designates June 10, 2025, as "DACOR Bacon House Bicentennial Day" to commemorate the 200th anniversary of a historic Washington, D.C. home. The DACOR Bacon House, completed in 1825, has housed numerous prominent figures throughout American history, including Supreme Court Chief Justices John Marshall and Melville Fuller, presidents, and foreign diplomats. Since 1986, the house has served as headquarters for DACOR (Diplomatic and Consular Officers, Retired), an organization of foreign affairs professionals that uses the building for educational programs and diplomatic events. The resolution recognizes the house's significance to American diplomacy, the Supreme Court, and Congress, while acknowledging its construction involved enslaved labor and that it sits on land originally belonging to the Anacostian people. This is a symbolic resolution with no funding or operational requirements—it simply establishes an official day of recognition for this historic landmark.
