This resolution authorized the printing of a revised edition of the publication “The United States Capitol” as a Senate document. It called for up to 2,000,000 English-language copies to be printed at a cost not exceeding $100,000, distributed as 2,000 copies to each Senator, 2,000 copies to each House Member, and the remainder to the Capitol Guide Service. It also authorized, at an additional cost of up to $70,000, 50,000 copies each in German, French, Russian, Chinese, and Japanese, and 100,000 copies in Spanish, all for distribution to the Capitol Guide Service.
