The bill previously passed the House of Representatives in March, and it now heads to President Trump\u2019s desk to be signed into law. Rep. Bob Onder (R-Mo.) sponsors the House bill.\n\n\u201cThis is a huge win for Missouri. Fulton, Missouri is the home of Winston Churchill\u2019s \u2018Iron Curtain\u2019 speech that marked the beginning of the Cold War,\u201d said Senator Hawley. \u201cI\u2019m proud to have shepherded this legislation through the Senate to rightfully commemorate Missouri\u2019s friendship with one of the greatest leaders in world history. I look forward to the bill becoming law.\u201d\n\nThe museum is located on the Westminster College campus in Fulton, Missouri. On March 5, 1946, Winston Churchill joined President Harry S. Truman to speak at the Missouri college. It was at this site that Churchill famously described the state of foreign affairs in Europe by saying, \u201cFrom Stettin in the Baltic, to Trieste in the Adriatic, an iron curtain has descended across the continent.\u201d In the 1960s, to honor the 20th anniversary of Churchill\u2019s visit, Westminster College imported a 17th-century church from London to Fulton. The church of St. Mary Aldermanbury was moved stone-by-stone to Westminster\u2019s campus. Reconstruction was completed in 1969 and is today\u2019s location of the museum.\n\nSenator Hawley first introduced this legislation in 2024, and it has passed the Senate multiple times previously. Passage today marks the first time the bill has gone to the President\u2019s desk.\n\nThe legislation will:", 1, "2026-09-30T10:57:52Z", "2026-09-30T10:59:04Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.hawley.senate.gov/hawley-bill-to-make-missouri-churchill-museum-a-national-historic-landmark-passes-senate-heads-to-presidents-desk/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.9367456659674644, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
