All of us here in the Capitol that have the privilege of working in this living museum. as well as the millions of visitors that tour our building each year. who admire and relish Brumidis works. but precious few know the story of the artist of the Capitol. In addition to awarding Constantino Brumidi with the Congressional Gold Medal. S. 254 directs the Architect of the Capitol to display the gold medal as an exhibition in the new visitors center dedicated to Brumidis life and work. I believe such an exhibit is long past due and would be to the benefit of future generations of Americans who come to see the Capitol and admire the brilliant works of Constantino Brumidi. reminding us yet again that we are a Nation built by immigrants. Mr. Speaker.
