Summary of Bill S 94
Bill 119 s 94 is a proposed legislation that aims to award 3 Congressional Gold Medals to the members of the 1980 United States Olympic Men's Ice Hockey Team.

By awarding these Congressional Gold Medals, the bill seeks to acknowledge the team's extraordinary accomplishment and the significant role they played in revitalizing morale in the United States. This recognition is a testament to the team's dedication, skill, and determination, as well as their lasting legacy in the world of sports.
