Bill overview
This House Resolution seeks to formally recognize Robert Aitken’s Bible as a significant historical document related to the United States Congress. The Bible, printed in 1781, was the first English-language Bible produced in North America. Congress initially approved Aitken’s proposal to print a Bible for schools and later praised his work as an example of American progress. This resolution acknowledges the Bible’s importance in early American history and its connection to the Continental Congress.
