This memorial resolution requests the Joint Committee on the Library of Congress to approve the replacement of the statue of Henry Mower Rice, currently displayed in the National Statuary Hall of the U.S. Capitol, with a statue of Hubert H. Humphrey, the former Vice President of the United States. The resolution highlights the historical significance of both figures, noting that the statue of Rice has been on display since 1916 and meets the minimum requirement for replacement. It emphasizes Humphrey's extensive contributions to civil rights, healthcare, and various legislative achievements during his time in public service, including his role in the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

The resolution also outlines the responsibilities of the state of Minnesota regarding the costs associated with the removal and transportation of the Rice statue and the erection of the new Humphrey statue. It specifies that the Rice statue will be transferred to the Minnesota State Historical Society. The resolution concludes by directing the revisor of statutes to prepare an enrolled copy for authentication and transmission to the Architect of the Capitol for forwarding to the Joint Committee on the Library of Congress.
