``grand axis'' of the Nation's Capital as well as a symbolic
representation of the separate yet unified branches of the
United States Government;
(3) through his service to the Ad Hoc Committee on Federal
Office Space (1961-1962), as a member of the President's Council
on Pennsylvania Avenue (1962-1964), and as vice-chairman of the
President's Temporary Commission on Pennsylvania Avenue (1965-
1969), and in his various capacities in the executive and
legislative branches, Senator Moynihan has consistently and
creatively sought to fulfill President Kennedy's recommendation
of June 1, 1962, that the Avenue not become a ``solid phalanx of
public and private office buildings which close down completely
at night and on weekends,'' but that it be ``lively, friendly,
and inviting, as well as dignified and impressive'';
(4)(A) Senator Moynihan helped draft a Federal architectural
policy, known as the ``Guiding Principles for Federal
Architecture,'' that recommends a choice of designs that are
``efficient and economical'' and that provide ``visual testimony
to the dignity, enterprise, vigor, and stability'' of the United
States Government; and
(B) the Guiding Principles for Federal Architecture further
state that the ``development of an official style must be
avoided. Design must flow from the architectural profession to
the Government, and not vice versa.'';
(5) Senator Moynihan has encouraged--
(A) the construction of new buildings along the
Avenue, such as the Ronald Reagan Building and
International Trade Center; and
(B) the establishment of an academic institution
along the Avenue, namely the Woodrow Wilson
International Center for Scholars, a living memorial to
President Wilson; and
(6) as Senator Moynihan's service in the Senate concludes,
it is appropriate to commemorate his legacy of public service
and his commitment to thoughtful urban design in the Nation's
Capital.

quadrant of Washington, District of Columbia, and described in
subsection (c) shall be known and designated as ``Daniel Patrick
Moynihan Place''.

SEC. 701. SHORT TITLE.
This title may be cited as the ``Public Interest Declassification
Act of 2000''.
SEC. 702. FINDINGS.
Congress makes the following findings:
(1) It is in the national interest to establish an

disseminated to Congress, policymakers in the executive branch,
and the public.
(2) Ensuring, through such measures, public access to
information that does not require continued protection to
maintain the national security interests of the United States is
a key to striking the balance between secrecy essential to
national security and the openness that is central to the proper
functioning of the political institutions of the United States.
