HR 1390: State Government; action to protect statue of Juliette Gordon Low within the Juliette Gordon Low Building; urge

This House resolution addresses the fate of a statue honoring Juliette Gordon Low, founder of the Girl Scouts of the USA, currently housed inside the Juliette Gordon Low Federal Building/Complex in Savannah. The resolution notes the building's history as one of the first federal facilities named for a woman and highlights the scale and legacy of the Girl Scouts organization she founded. The resolution states that if the federal building is demolished, preserving the statue within any resulting green space, or donating it to the City of Savannah, would help honor and commemorate the history of the Girl Scouts. The House formally resolves to urge action protecting the statue, and directs the Clerk of the House to distribute copies of the resolution to the public and press. The resolution does not create any legal requirement or funding mechanism; it expresses the House's position.

• Formally urges unspecified parties to take action to protect the statue of Juliette Gordon Low located within the Juliette Gordon Low Federal Building/Complex in Savannah.
• States a preference that the statue be preserved in green space created if the building is demolished, or donated to the City of Savannah.
• Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to make copies of the resolution available to the public and press.
• Does not impose any binding legal requirement, funding, or enforcement mechanism; it is a statement of the House's position.

The resolution concerns the Juliette Gordon Low Federal Building/Complex in Savannah, the statue housed there, the Girl Scouts of the USA organization, and potentially the City of Savannah if the statue were donated to it. It does not directly regulate any private individuals or businesses.

If federal officials or others act on this nonbinding statement, the statue honoring Juliette Gordon Low could be preserved or relocated to the City of Savannah rather than lost if the federal building is demolished, affecting how this piece of Girl Scouts history is remembered locally.

• The resolution recites the history of the Juliette Gordon Low Federal Building/Complex and the Girl Scouts of the USA as background (whereas clauses).
• The operative resolving clause urges action to protect the statue within the building.
• A further resolving clause directs the Clerk of the House to distribute copies of the resolution to the public and press.
