Authorizing the use of the rotunda of the Capitol for the lying in state of the remains of Sergeant Edgar Brian Torres-Tovar, and of Sergeant William Nathaniel Howard, of the Iowa National Guard.
This bill (HCONRES 67) authorizes the use of the U.S. Capitol rotunda for the ceremonial "lying in state" of two Iowa National Guard soldiers: Sergeant Edgar Brian Torres-Tovar and Sergeant William Nathaniel Howard. It specifically permits their remains to be displayed in the rotunda, as determined by Capitol officials, following their service in the 1st Squadron of the 113th Cavalry Regiment. The resolution is purely procedural, recognizing their military service without creating new laws or affecting policy. It directly involves Capitol staff who would arrange the ceremony and the families of the deceased soldiers.
