SJRES 96 United States Senate · 119th Congress

A joint resolution requesting the Secretary of the Interior to authorize unique and one-time arrangements for displays on the National Mall and the Washington Monument during the period beginning on December 31, 2025, and ending on January 5, 2026.

This joint resolution requests the Secretary of the Interior to authorize special, one-time public displays on the National Mall and Washington Monument from December 31, 2025, through January 5, 2026. The displays would include five nights of projected content (such as historical footage and commemorative materials) on the Washington Monument, alongside other artifacts and digital exhibits, to mark the start of the 250th anniversary celebrations of U.S. founding. The resolution cites past events like the 1976 bicentennial and 2019 Apollo 50th anniversary commemorations as precedents for similar public displays. As a non-binding request, it does not create new law but asks the agency to permit these specific arrangements as part of the Semiquincentennial Commission's planned events.
