This joint resolution requests the Secretary of the Interior to authorize special, one-time arrangements for public displays on the National Mall and the Washington Monument. These displays are intended to mark the beginning of celebrations for the 250th anniversary of the United States' independence , known as the Semiquincentennial. Specifically, the resolution seeks permission for the display of Semiquincentennial materials, significant artifacts, digital content, film footage, and associated audio and imagery. These would be showcased in and around the National Mall, with projections onto the surface of the Washington Monument for five consecutive nights, from December 31, 2025, to January 5, 2026 . This period is chosen to coincide with New Year's Eve 2025, which transitions into the 250th year of the nation's founding. The resolution highlights the historical significance of the anniversary and references past events, such as the 2019 Apollo 11 commemoration, which successfully utilized the National Mall and Washington Monument for large-scale public displays. It also acknowledges the role of the United States Semiquincentennial Commission in coordinating nationwide celebrations. The Secretary of the Interior and the Chair of the United States Semiquincentennial Commission are requested to receive an enrolled copy of this resolution.
