A joint resolution relating to the placement of a statue in the United States capitol honoring Governor Robert D. Ray, and making appropriations.
This joint resolution authorizes Iowa to replace its current U.S. Capitol statue of Samuel J. Kirkwood with one honoring former Governor Robert D. Ray. It creates a seven-member committee (appointed by the governor) to raise funds through donations for the statue exchange, commissioning the new statue, and relocating the Kirkwood statue. The resolution establishes a state fund to manage these costs and requires the Kirkwood statue to be permanently displayed at Iowa's state capitol building. The bill does not appropriate state funds but relies on private donations for the replacement process.
