Authorizing the use of Emancipation Hall in the Capitol Visitor Center for a ceremony to present the Congressional Gold Medal collectively to the women in the United States who joined the workforce during World War II, providing the aircraft, vehicles, weaponry, ammunition, and other material to win the war and who were referred to as "Rosie the Riveter", in recognition of their contributions to the United States and the inspiration they have provided to ensuing generations.
HCONRES 85 authorizes the use of Emancipation Hall in the Capitol Visitor Center for a ceremony on April 10, 2024, to present a Congressional Gold Medal collectively to the women who joined the U.S. workforce during World War II - known as "Rosie the Riveter" - for their contributions in producing war materials like aircraft and weapons. The bill directly recognizes these women’s historical service and enduring inspiration to future generations. It does not create new policy or alter existing laws, but instead approves a venue for a ceremonial tribute to honor their legacy. The resolution is purely commemorative, with no fiscal or regulatory impact.
