Establishing deadlines for the Joint Committee of Congress on the Library to approve or deny the statue of the Reverend William Franklin "Billy" Graham, Jr., for placement in the National Statuary Hall.

Bill 118 H.Con.Res. 18, also known as the Establishing Deadlines for the Joint Committee of Congress on the Library to Approve or Deny the Statue of the Reverend William Franklin "Billy" Graham, Jr., for Placement in the National Statuary Hall, is a piece of legislation that aims to set specific deadlines for the approval or denial of a statue of Reverend Billy Graham to be placed in the National Statuary Hall.

The bill requires the Joint Committee of Congress on the Library to make a decision on whether to approve or deny the statue of Reverend Billy Graham within 120 days of receiving a request for its placement in the National Statuary Hall. If the committee fails to make a decision within this timeframe, the statue will be automatically approved for placement.

Reverend Billy Graham was a prominent American evangelist who played a significant role in shaping American religious and political history. Supporters of the bill argue that Graham's contributions to American society warrant his inclusion in the National Statuary Hall, which honors individuals who have made significant contributions to the history and culture of the United States. Critics of the bill may argue that setting specific deadlines for the approval or denial of statues could potentially rush the decision-making process and overlook important considerations. However, proponents of the bill believe that establishing clear timelines will ensure that decisions are made in a timely manner and prevent unnecessary delays. Overall, Bill 118 H.Con.Res. 18 seeks to streamline the approval process for the placement of a statue of Reverend Billy Graham in the National Statuary Hall and honor his legacy as a prominent figure in American history.
