Norton pleased report does not call for permanent fencing
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC), after the release today of a Senate report on the attack on the U.S. Capitol, once again called on Congress to pass her District of Columbia National Guard Home Rule Act, which would give the D.C. mayor control over the D.C. National Guard. Norton also said she was pleased that the report did not recommend permanent fencing at the Capitol complex. Norton’s No Fencing at the United States Capitol Complex Act would prohibit the use of federal funds to install permanent fencing at the Capitol complex.
