An unidentified speaker on the House floor urged colleagues to support bill 3705, the Semiquincentennial Congressional Time Capsule Act, saying it would make technical adjustments to a prior House-passed measure and establish a congressional time capsule for the nation’s 250th celebration.
The speaker said the measure was led by Congresswoman Bonnie Watson Coleman, a member of the Semiquincentennial Commission, and by Senator Tom Tillis of North Carolina. According to the remarks, bill 3705 would make technical changes to Congresswoman Watson Coleman’s bipartisan House-passed bill, House bill 469, to create a congressional time capsule in commemoration of the semiquincentennial.
The speaker described the legislation as bipartisan and bicameral and said it would require "the four corners of the congressional leadership" to agree on what is placed in the capsule, including a joint letter. "I look forward to the final products of this legislation and look forward to seeing what will be in it," the speaker said.
Closing the statement, the speaker yielded back and asked colleagues to vote yes on the legislation. No vote or recorded outcome appears in the provided transcript excerpt.
