To amend title 36, United States Code, to designate the composition known as "Here Rests in Honored Glory" by Donald B. Miller as the national hymn of the United States.

# Summary of HR 6188 **What the Bill Would Do** HR 6188 proposes to officially designate a composition titled "Here Rests in Honored Glory," written by Donald B. Miller, as the national hymn of the United States. If passed, this would make it the official hymn through an amendment to Title 36 of the U.S. Code (which contains federal laws about patriotic symbols and observances). **Who It Affects and Key Provisions** This bill would primarily affect national ceremonial practices and symbolic representations of the United States.

While the U.S. has a national anthem ("The Star-Spangled Banner"), it does not currently have an official national hymn. The bill contains no other major provisions—it is a straightforward measure to establish this single designation. **Current Status** The bill was introduced in the 119th Congress by Representative Virginia Foxx (R-NC) and remains in committee, meaning it has not yet advanced to a floor vote in the House of Representatives. No further action has been taken on the measure.
