Referred to the House Committee on House Administration.
H. Con. Res. 77 authorizes the use of the Capitol rotunda for a lying-in-state ceremony honoring seven Army service members: Major Jeffrey R. O'Brien, Captain Cody A. Khork, Chief Warrant Officer 3 Robert M. Marzan, and Sergeants First Class Noah L. Tietjens and Nicole M. Amor, along with Sergeants Declan J. Coady and Benjamin N. Pennington. These soldiers served with distinction in Operation Epic Fury and will be honored with this solemn ceremony in one of the nation's most sacred spaces. The specific date for the lying-in-state will be determined jointly by the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House, with the Architect of the Capitol overseeing the logistics and arrangements. This concurrent resolution requires approval from both chambers of Congress and directs relevant officials to take all necessary steps to carry out the ceremony. No specific funding or timeline is designated in the resolution itself.
