Bill > SF5360

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 U.S. Capitol with a statue of Hubert H. Humphrey, a former Vice President of the United States, U.S. Senator, and Mayor of Minneapolis. The bill highlights Humphrey's significant contributions, including his role in the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and other landmark legislation. It also notes that Minnesota will cover the costs associated with removing the existing statue and erecting the new one, and that the statue of Henry Mower Rice will be transferred to the Minnesota State Historical Society.
