The Committee on House Administration, to whom was referred

PURPOSE OF THE LEGISLATION
H.R. 5711 is a bill to enhance the artistic display of sculpture in
the United States Capitol by providing five territorial possessions
of the United States with the right to request that no more than
one statue of a prominent, deceased person associated with each ju-
risdiction be displayed in the National Statuary Hall Collection.
They are American Samoa, Guam, the Commonwealth of the
Northern Mariana Islands, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and
the U.S. Virgin Islands.
The National Statuary Hall Collection was created by statute in
1864 (2 U.S.C. 2081) to honor distinguished persons chosen by the
states for display in what is now called Statuary Hall; in later
years the statues were also displayed outside the overcrowded Hall,
