4 PLACE.

5 (a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds that—

6 (1) during the second half of the twentieth cen7 tury, Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan promoted

8 the importance of architecture and urban planning

9 in the Nation’s Capital, particularly with respect to

10 the portion of Pennsylvania Avenue between the

11 White House and the United States Capitol (re12 ferred to in this subsection as the ‘‘Avenue’’);

13 (2) Senator Moynihan has stressed the unique

14 significance of the Avenue as conceived by Pierre

15 Charles L’Enfant to be the ‘‘grand axis’’ of the Na16 tion’s Capital as well as a symbolic representation of

17 the separate yet unified branches of the United

18 States Government;

19 (3) through his service to the Ad Hoc Com20 mittee on Federal Office Space (1961–1962), as a

21 member of the President’s Council on Pennsylvania

22 Avenue (1962–1964), and as vice-chairman of the

23 President’s Temporary Commission on Pennsylvania

24 Avenue (1965–1969), and in his various capacities

25 in the executive and legislative branches, Senator
28

•HR 5630 EH

1 Moynihan has consistently and creatively sought to

2 fulfill President Kennedy’s recommendation of June

3 1, 1962, that the Avenue not become a ‘‘solid pha4 lanx of public and private office buildings which

5 close down completely at night and on weekends,’’

6 but that it be ‘‘lively, friendly, and inviting, as well

7 as dignified and impressive’’;

8 (4)(A) Senator Moynihan helped draft a Fed9 eral architectural policy, known as the ‘‘Guiding

10 Principles for Federal Architecture,’’ that rec11 ommends a choice of designs that are ‘‘efficient and

12 economical’’ and that provide ‘‘visual testimony to

13 the dignity, enterprise, vigor, and stability’’ of the

14 United States Government; and

15 (B) the Guiding Principles for Federal Archi16 tecture further state that the ‘‘development of an of17 ficial style must be avoided. Design must flow from

18 the architectural profession to the Government, and

19 not vice versa.’’;

20 (5) Senator Moynihan has encouraged—

21 (A) the construction of new buildings along

22 the Avenue, such as the Ronald Reagan Build23 ing and International Trade Center; and

24 (B) the establishment of an academic insti25 tution along the Avenue, namely the Woodrow
29

•HR 5630 EH

1 Wilson International Center for Scholars, a liv2 ing memorial to President Wilson; and

3 (6) as Senator Moynihan’s service in the Senate

4 concludes, it is appropriate to commemorate his leg5 acy of public service and his commitment to

6 thoughtful urban design in the Nation’s Capital.

7 (b) DESIGNATION.—The parcel of land located in the

8 northwest quadrant of Washington, District of Columbia,

9 and described in subsection (c) shall be known and des10 ignated as ‘‘Daniel Patrick Moynihan Place’’.

6 public interest that do not undermine the national

7 security interests of the United States may be col8 lected, retained, reviewed, and disseminated to Con9 gress, policymakers in the executive branch, and the

10 public.

11 (2) Ensuring, through such measures, public

12 access to information that does not require contin13 ued protection to maintain the national security in14 terests of the United States is a key to striking the

15 balance between secrecy essential to national secu16 rity and the openness that is central to the proper

17 functioning of the political institutions of the United

18 States.

14 to a thorough, accurate, and reliable documentary

12 (4) To advise the President, the Assistant to
