(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds that—
H. R. 5630—12

(1) during the second half of the twentieth century, Senator

Daniel Patrick Moynihan promoted the importance of architecture and urban planning in the Nation’s Capital, particularly

with respect to the portion of Pennsylvania Avenue between

the White House and the United States Capitol (referred to

in this subsection as the ‘‘Avenue’’);

(2) Senator Moynihan has stressed the unique significance

of the Avenue as conceived by Pierre Charles L’Enfant to be

the ‘‘grand axis’’ of the Nation’s Capital as well as a symbolic

representation of the separate yet unified branches of the

United States Government;

(3) through his service to the Ad Hoc Committee on Federal

Office Space (1961–1962), as a member of the President’s

Council on Pennsylvania Avenue (1962–1964), and as vicechairman of the President’s Temporary Commission on Pennsylvania Avenue (1965–1969), and in his various capacities in

the executive and legislative branches, Senator Moynihan has

consistently and creatively sought to fulfill President Kennedy’s

recommendation of June 1, 1962, that the Avenue not become

a ‘‘solid phalanx of public and private office buildings which

close down completely at night and on weekends,’’ but that

it be ‘‘lively, friendly, and inviting, as well as dignified and

impressive’’;

(4)(A) Senator Moynihan helped draft a Federal architectural policy, known as the ‘‘Guiding Principles for Federal

Architecture,’’ that recommends a choice of designs that are

Congress makes the following findings:

policymakers in the executive branch, and the public.

(2) Ensuring, through such measures, public access to

a key to striking the balance between secrecy essential to

national security and the openness that is central to the proper

functioning of the political institutions of the United States.
