Referred to the House Committee on House Administration.
This concurrent resolution authorizes the use of the U.S. Capitol Rotunda for the lying in state of six members of the U.S. Air Force who served in support of Operation Epic Fury.
The date will be set by the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House, and the Architect of the Capitol will make necessary arrangements.
The resolution is ceremonial and directs no programmatic spending or policy changes beyond arranging the event.
Very likely given narrow ceremonial purpose, negligible fiscal impact, concise text, and strong historical precedent for swift bipartisan approval.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a clear and narrowly focused commemorative authorization that identifies the persons honored, the location (Capitol rotunda), and responsible officials for scheduling and execution. It delegates practical implementation to the Architect of the Capitol under the direction of congressional leaders.
