SEC. 310. DESIGNATION OF DANIEL PATRICK MOYNIHAN PLACE.
(a) FINDINGS- Congress finds that--
(1) during the second half of the twentieth century, Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan promoted the importance of architecture and urban planning in the Nation's Capital, particularly with respect to the portion of Pennsylvania Avenue between the White House and the United States Capitol (referred to in this subsection as the `Avenue');
(2) Senator Moynihan has stressed the unique significance of the Avenue as conceived by Pierre Charles L'Enfant to be the `grand axis' of the Nation's Capital as well as a symbolic representation of the separate yet unified branches of the United States Government;
(3) through his service to the Ad Hoc Committee on Federal Office Space (1961-1962), as a member of the President's Council on Pennsylvania Avenue (1962-1964), and as vice-chairman of the President's Temporary Commission on Pennsylvania Avenue (1965-1969), and in his various capacities in the executive and legislative branches, Senator Moynihan has consistently and creatively sought to fulfill President Kennedy's recommendation of June 1, 1962, that the Avenue not become a `solid phalanx of public and private office buildings which close down completely at night and on weekends,' but that it be `lively, friendly, and inviting, as well as dignified and impressive';
(4)(A) Senator Moynihan helped draft a Federal architectural policy, known as the `Guiding Principles for Federal Architecture,' that recommends a choice of designs that are `efficient and economical' and that provide `visual testimony to the dignity, enterprise, vigor, and stability' of the United States Government; and
(B) the Guiding Principles for Federal Architecture further state that the `development of an official style must be avoided. Design must flow from the architectural profession to the Government, and not vice versa.';
(5) Senator Moynihan has encouraged--
(A) the construction of new buildings along the Avenue, such as the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center; and
(B) the establishment of an academic institution along the Avenue, namely the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, a living memorial to President Wilson; and
(6) as Senator Moynihan's service in the Senate concludes, it is appropriate to commemorate his legacy of public service and his commitment to thoughtful urban design in the Nation's Capital.
