Plain-English Summary

Congress is asking the Secretary of the Interior to allow special temporary displays and arrangements on the National Mall and around the Washington Monument during New Year's week 2025-2026, likely for holiday celebrations or commemorative events. This one-time permission would let organizers set up exhibits or decorations in these normally restricted federal spaces for about a week. The request has been sent to the Senate's energy and natural resources committee for review.
