     Requiring the posting of the Ten Commandments in the Capitol.

Whereas the Ten Commandments have had a significant impact on the development of

        which is universally acknowledged to promote respect for our system of 
        laws and the good of society: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That--
            (1) the Ten Commandments are a declaration of fundamental 
        principles and are the cornerstones of a fair and just society; 
        and
            (2) the Architect of the Capitol shall place an appropriate 
        copy of the Ten Commandments in the United States Capitol 
        Building.
