Bill > HF4984

This bill requests the Joint Committee on the Library of Congress to approve the replacement of the statue of Henry Mower Rice currently displayed in the National Statuary Hall in the United States Capitol with a statue of Hubert H. Humphrey, a former Vice President of the United States, Mayor of Minneapolis, and long-serving U.S. Senator from Minnesota. The bill outlines Humphrey's distinguished career and contributions, including his leadership in the Civil Rights movement and legislative achievements. The state of Minnesota will be responsible for the costs associated with removing the existing statue and installing the new one, and the existing statue of Henry Mower Rice will be transferred to the state.
