HCONRES 124 United States House · 118th Congress

Authorizing the use of Emancipation Hall in the Capitol Visitor Center for a ceremony to present the Congressional Gold Medals awarded under the Hidden Figures Congressional Gold Medal Act.

This concurrent resolution authorizes the use of Emancipation Hall in the Capitol Visitor Center on September 18, 2024, for a ceremony to present Congressional Gold Medals awarded under the Hidden Figures Congressional Gold Medal Act (Public Law 116-68). The bill specifically enables the presentation of these medals to the "Hidden Figures" team - pioneering Black women mathematicians who contributed to NASA's early space missions. Physical preparations for the event must follow conditions set by the Architect of the Capitol. This is a procedural measure with no substantive policy changes, solely facilitating a commemorative ceremony.
