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 Ave & Western Ave, NW) in 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 removed items would first be offered to his descendants for 60 days; if unclaimed, they would become part of the Rock Creek Park museum collection as federal property. The bill affects the physical memorial at that specific location in the District of Columbia.
