                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

Whereas at its inception, the Capitol of the United States of America was 
        blessed to rise under the hand of some of this Nation's greatest 
        architects, including Dr. William Thornton, Benjamin Henry Latrobe, and 
        Charles Bullfinch;
Whereas prior to the Honorable George Malcolm White, FAIA, being appointed by 
        President Nixon on January 27, 1971, it had been 106 years since a 
        professional architect had been named to the post of Architect of the 
        Capitol;
Whereas Mr. White has served the Congress through an unprecedented period of 
        growth and modernization, using to advantage his professional 
        accreditation in architecture, engineering, law, and business;
Whereas Mr. White has prepared the Capitol Complex for the next century by 
        developing the ``Master Plan for the Future Development of the Capitol 
        Grounds and Related Areas'';
Whereas Mr. White has added new buildings to the Capitol grounds as authorized 
        by Congress, including the Thurgood Marshall Federal Judiciary Building, 
        the Philip A. Hart Senate Office Building, and the Library of Congress 
        James Madison Memorial Building, and through acquisition and renovation, 
        the Thomas P. O'Neill and Gerald R. Ford House Office Buildings, the 
        Webster Hall Senate Page Dormitory, and the Capitol Police Headquarters 
        Building;
Whereas Mr. White has preserved for future generations the existing historic 
        fabric of the Capitol Complex by faithfully restoring the Old Senate 
        Chamber, the Old Supreme Court Chamber, National Statuary Hall, the 
        Brumidi corridors, the Rotunda canopy and frieze, the West Central Front 
        and Terraces of the Capitol, the House Monumental Stairs, the Library of 
        Congress Thomas Jefferson and John Adams Buildings, and the Statue of 
        Freedom atop the Capitol Dome;
Whereas Mr. White has greatly contributed to the preservation and enhancement of 
        the design of the District of Columbia through his place on the District 
        of Columbia Zoning Commission, the Commission of Fine Arts, the 
        Pennsylvania Avenue Development Corporation, and other civic 
        organizations and commissions; and
Whereas upon Mr. White's retirement on November 21, 1995, he leaves a legacy of 
        tremendous accomplishment, having made the Capitol his life's work and 
        brought to this century the erudition and polymath's capacity of our 
        first Architects: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), 
That the thanks and good wishes of the American people are hereby 
tendered to the Honorable George M. White, FAIA, on the occasion of his 
retirement from the Office of the Architect of the Capitol after nearly 
a quarter-century of outstanding service to this nation.

            Passed the Senate November 20, 1995.

            Attest:

                                                             Secretary.
