In committee

Introduced and handed to a committee in the chamber it started in.

The committee holds it, and most bills are never heard from again. A hearing or a committee vote would be news; silence is the usual outcome, and it kills the bill without anyone voting against it.

Its path through Congress

  1. Introduced
  2. In Committee

A House resolution is the House speaking for itself: stating a position, honouring someone, or setting its own rules. Adopting it is the whole process. Once the House agrees to it, it is officially the House's word; it is not a law, so the Senate and the President have no part in it.

What this bill would do

H. Res. 964 is a resolution to recognize the 200th anniversary of the DACOR Bacon House. The text outlines the history of the property, from its origins on Anacostan land to its use by various diplomats, judges, and political figures. It acknowledges the house's construction in 1825 and its eventual preservation by the DACOR Bacon House Foundation. The resolution officially recognizes the house's importance to American diplomacy, the Supreme Court, and Congress.
