WASHINGTON – Congressman Tom Reed (R-Corning) announced Thursday that his bill to officially designate the National Comedy Center in Jamestown, and recognize it as the only museum of its kind that exists for the exclusive purpose of celebrating comedy in all its forms, passed unanimously in the House Natural Resources committee.
Reed said the bill is now eligible to go before the full House for a vote.
Last month Reed announced that he will be taking up the official designation bill in the House, joining U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer’s legislation in the U.S. Senate.
Reed said he is confident the two bills will be passed before the official grand opening of the National Comedy Center Aug. 1.
