                            JOINT RESOLUTION


 
  Approving the location of the commemorative work in the District of 
             Columbia honoring former President John Adams.

Whereas section 8908 of title 40, United States Code, provides that the location 
        of a commemorative work in the area described as Area I shall be deemed 
        disapproved unless approved by law not later than 150 days after


notification to Congress that the commemorative work should be located in 
Area I;

Whereas Public Law 107-62 (115 Stat. 411) authorized the Adams Memorial 
        Foundation to establish a commemorative work on Federal land in the 
        District of Columbia to honor former President John Adams and his 
        legacy; and
Whereas the Secretary of the Interior has notified Congress of her determination 
        that a memorial to former President John Adams should be located in Area 
        I: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 
States of America in Congress assembled,
