The resolution authorizes a public, secure ceremony honoring the Six Triple Eight on April 29, 2025 — increasing public access and safety while temporarily restricting some visitor access and imposing modest facility costs.
Members of the public and visitors can attend or view an official ceremony honoring the Six Triple Eight on April 29, 2025, increasing public access to a Capitol event.
Federal staff and visitors benefit from an official, secure setting because ceremony preparations must follow Architect of the Capitol conditions, reducing logistical and safety risks.
Visitors and tour groups may face limited access to the Capitol Visitor Center on April 29, 2025 because the Hall is scheduled for the ceremony.
Taxpayers and facility staff may bear modest operational costs for ceremony setup paid from existing Architect of the Capitol budgets.

Authorizes use of Emancipation Hall in the Capitol Visitor Center on April 29, 2025, for a ceremony to present Congressional Gold Medals to members of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion (the “Six Triple Eight”). Physical preparations and setup for the event must be carried out under conditions prescribed by the Architect of the Capitol. This is a routine, single-purpose authorization for a ceremonial use of Capitol space. It does not create new programs, change taxes, or authorize new appropriations beyond normal facility operations and event preparations overseen by Capitol management.
