This joint resolution formally requests the Secretary of the Interior to authorize special, one-time arrangements for public displays on the National Mall and the Washington Monument. The purpose of these arrangements is to commemorate the United States Semiquincentennial , marking the 250th anniversary of the nation's founding. The requested period for these displays is from December 31, 2025, through January 5, 2026, serving as an inaugural celebration for the milestone anniversary. The resolution specifically asks for the authorization of unique displays including Semiquincentennial materials, significant artifacts, digital content, film footage, and associated audio and imagery. These exhibits are intended for the vicinity of the National Mall, with a particular emphasis on content projected onto the surface of the Washington Monument for five consecutive nights of public viewing. This initiative aims to engage the public in a grand celebration of American history and achievements. Congress also respectfully requests that an enrolled copy of this resolution be transmitted to both the Secretary of the Interior and the Chair of the United States Semiquincentennial Commission. This action underscores the legislative body's support for the commission's efforts to plan and coordinate nationwide commemorations leading up to and during the 250th anniversary of the United States.
