Plain-English Summary

This bill would authorize Congress to create a time capsule to commemorate the 250th anniversary of American independence, allowing lawmakers to preserve documents, artifacts, and other items representing modern American life for future generations to discover. The time capsule would likely be stored in a congressional building or similar federal location and opened at a designated future date to give people centuries from now a snapshot of what Congress and the country were like today.
