On the recordMay 7, 1997
House Concurrent Resolution 25 is a resolution to nominate and dedicate the statue of Jack Swigert to represent the State of Colorado in Statuary Hall. The resolution provides for a ceremony in the Capitol Rotunda to commemorate the occasion of the dedication. Colorado had sent only one. That was Dr. Florence Sabin. Similarly, the dedication and statue that we are offering in this resolution is a wise choice on the part of Colorado. The dedication ceremony for the statue on May 22, 1997, at 11 a.m. will recognize Jack Swigert, native of Denver, a U.S. Air Force pilot, a recipient in 1970 of the Presidential Medal for Freedom, the command module pilot of the Apollo 13 mission, and an elected Representative to the House of Representatives from Colorado.
