     PERMITTING USE OF ROTUNDA OF CAPITOL FOR CEREMONY AS PART OF 
      COMMEMORATION OF DAYS OF REMEMBRANCE OF VICTIMS OF HOLOCAUST

  Mr. NEY. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent to take from the 
Speaker's table the concurrent resolution (H. Con. Res. 14) permitting 
the use of the Rotunda of the Capitol for a ceremony as part of the 
commemoration of the days of remembrance of victims of the Holocaust, 
with a Senate amendment thereto and concur in the Senate amendment.
  The Clerk read the title of the concurrent resolution.
  The Clerk read the Senate amendment, as follows:
       Senate amendment: Page 1, line 3, strike out ``April 18, 
     2001'' and insert ``April 19, 2001''.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Gibbons). Is there objection to the 
request of the gentleman from Ohio?
  There was no objection.
  Mr. GILMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of H. Con. Res. 14, 
sponsored by our distinguished colleague from Ohio, Mr. Ney.
  House Concurrent Resolution 14 permits the use of our Congressional 
Rotunda for the annual ceremony to commemorate the Days of Remembrance 
of the victims of the Holocaust.
  The annual day of Remembrance, sponsored by the Holocaust Memorial 
Council of which I am a member, will be held on April 18, 2001. This 
important program allows the Congress and the Nation to observe the 
days of remembrance, to pay tribute to the American liberators of the 
concentration camp's survivors, and by commemorating this enormous 
tragedy, ensuring that it never happens again.
  Accordingly, Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to join in urging the adoption 
of this resolution.
  A motion to reconsider was laid on the table.
