“for the last 9 years, I have sponsored a resolution for the Greater Washington, Soap Box Derby to hold its race along Constitution Avenue. This year, I am once again proud to have introduced H. Con. Res. 79 to permit the 64th running of the Greater Washington Soap Box Derby, which is to take place on the Capitol Grounds on June 23, 2001. This resolution authorizes the Architect of the Capitol, The Capitol Police Board, and the Greater Washington Soap Box Derby Association to negotiate the necessary arrangements for carrying out running of the Greater Washington Soap Box Derby in complete compliance with rules and regulations governing the use of the Capitol Grounds. In the past, the full House has supported this resolution once reported favorably by the full Transportation Committee. I ask my colleagues to join with me, and the other cosponsors including Representatives Albert Wynn, Connie Morella, Jim Moran, Frank Wolf, and Eleanor Holmes-Norton in supporting this resolution.”
