Francis G. Newlands Memorial Removal Act
This bill directs the removal of specific memorials honoring Francis G. Newlands from a fountain at Chevy Chase Circle (Connecticut Avenue and Western Avenue NW, Washington, D.C.). It requires removing a brass plaque, a stone tablet, and carved inscriptions bearing his name from the memorial fountain's grounds and face. The bill offers these removed items to Newlands' descendants for 60 days; if unclaimed, they will be stored by the National Park Service in Rock Creek Park's museum. The bill is purely procedural, affecting only the physical memorial and its associated items, with no broader policy changes.
