                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

Whereas November 17, 2000, will mark the 200th anniversary of the occupation of 
        the United States Capitol by the Senate and House of Representatives;
Whereas the story of the design and construction of the United States Capitol 
        deserves wider attention; and
Whereas since 1991, Congress has supported a recently completed project to 
        translate the previously inaccessible and richly detailed shorthand 
        journals of Captain Montgomery C. Meigs, the mid-nineteenth-century 
        engineer responsible for construction of the Capitol dome and Senate and 
        House of Representatives extensions: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring),

SECTION 1. PRINTING OF ``CAPITOL BUILDER: THE SHORTHAND JOURNALS OF 
              CAPTAIN MONTGOMERY C. MEIGS, 1853-1861''.

    (a) In General.--There shall be printed as a Senate document the 
book entitled ``Capitol Builder: The Shorthand Journals of Captain 
Montgomery C. Meigs, 1853-1861'', prepared under the direction of the 
Secretary of the Senate, in consultation with the Clerk of the House of 
Representatives and the Architect of the Capitol.
    (b) Specifications.--The Senate document described in subsection 
(a) shall include illustrations and shall be in the style, form, 
manner, and binding as directed by the Joint Committee on Printing

there shall be printed with suitable binding the lesser of--
            (1) 1,500 copies for the use of the Senate, the House of 
        Representatives, and the Architect of the Capitol, to be 
        allocated as determined by the Secretary of the Senate and the 
        Clerk of the House of Representatives; or
            (2) a number of copies that does not have a total 
        production and printing cost of more than $31,500.

            Passed the Senate November 2, 1999.
