I send to the desk a concurrent resolution and ask unanimous consent for its immediate consideration. The Clerk read the title of the concurrent resolution. The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Mfume). Is there objection to the request of the gentlewoman from Ohio? There was no objection. The text of the concurrent resolution is as follows: H. Con. Res. 105 Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That in recognition of the long and distinguished service rendered to the Nation by the Honorable John Lewis, late a Representative from the State of Georgia, his remains shall be permitted to lie in state in the rotunda of the Capitol from July 27, 2020, through July 29, 2020, and the Architect of the Capitol, under the direction of the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, shall take all necessary steps for the accomplishment of that purpose. The concurrent resolution was agreed to. A motion to reconsider was laid on the table. ____________________
