 PROVIDING THAT THE GREAT HALL OF THE CAPITOL VISITOR CENTER SHALL BE 
                       KNOWN AS EMANCIPATION HALL

                                 ______
                                 

                               speech of

                         HON. CHARLES B. RANGEL

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, November 13, 2007

  Mr. RANGEL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to support naming the great 
hall at the Capitol Visitor Center the ``Emancipation Hall.'' It is in 
the spirit of this country's great advances--particularly in 
solidifying our most precious values of freedom, equality, and 
justice--that I urge this body to move forward with this measure. Let 
the tenets of our great democracy ring down that hall--and throughout 
all the halls of Congress.
