Place a statue of Roberto Clemente in the Capitol to honor his athletic and humanitarian legacy.
The problem
Roberto Clemente, a legendary baseball player and humanitarian from Puerto Rico, lacks a formal statue honoring him in the Capitol despite his significant contributions to sports and society.
The proposal
Direct the placement of a statue honoring Roberto Clemente in the Capitol or on Capitol Grounds as a tribute to his achievements as an athlete and humanitarian.
The impact
Americans, especially Puerto Rican communities and baseball fans, gain recognition of Clemente's legacy. The Capitol's public spaces are altered to include this memorial statue.
Roberto Clemente was a Hall of Fame baseball player and dedicated humanitarian who died while helping others. Placing his statue in the Capitol recognizes his contributions to sports and society.
This statue would recognize Puerto Rico's contributions to American culture and sports. It provides visibility for Puerto Rican achievements in a prominent national location.
A Capitol statue serves as a daily reminder of Clemente's values of excellence and service. It can motivate young people to pursue athletic and humanitarian goals.
Statue placement requires minimal federal spending compared to major infrastructure projects. The cost is manageable within existing Capitol maintenance budgets.
While symbolic, a statue does not directly solve community problems or provide services. It is primarily a commemorative measure rather than addressing policy needs.
The Capitol and its grounds have limited space for statues. Adding another statue requires decisions about what it replaces or where it fits.
Choosing Clemente raises questions about criteria for Capitol statues. Many worthy Americans lack representation, which could lead to numerous similar requests.
The government must maintain the statue indefinitely. Long-term costs for cleaning, repair, and preservation add ongoing expenses.

Money from people who work there, not from the company. Not tied to this bill.
Itemized individual contributions via FEC, grouped by the employer each contributor self-reported.
