Semiquincentennial Congressional Time Capsule Act

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. ADERHOLT. Madam Speaker, I rise today to speak on the bill, S. 3705, the Semiquincentennial Congressional Time Capsule Act, as led by Congresswoman and fellow commissioner on the Semiquincentennial Commission, Bonnie Watson Coleman, and also by Senator Thom Tillis of North Carolina.

This bill, of course, makes technical changes to Representative Watson Coleman's bipartisan House-passed bill, H.R. 469, to create a congressional time capsule in commemoration of the semiquincentennial. I think it should be clearly pointed out here that this bill is truly bipartisan, and it is bicameral. It is a piece of legislation that requires the four corners of congressional leadership to agree on the contents of the capsule including a joint letter.

I look forward to the final product of this legislation and look forward to seeing what will be in it. Again, this will be something that we all can agree on, and it is great to be working at a time when we can all work together and celebrate our Nation's birthday for this 250th celebration.

Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to vote ``yes'' on the legislation.
