# Capitol Visitor Center *A place: the U.S. Capitol Visitor Center, cited in this record as the holder of the artifact record for S. 2000 (1961).* The U.S. Capitol Visitor Center publishes an artifact record for S. 2000, the Peace Corps bill that Senator Hubert H. Humphrey introduced on June 1, 1961.[^1] In this record the Visitor Center appears in one at-issue item, as the artifact source for the attribution of the Peace Corps legislation.[^1] The project's dossier adds that Humphrey's first Peace Corps bill dates to 1957, and that the 1957 bill did not pass.[^2] The dossier lists both the 1957 bill and the June 1, 1961 introduction of S. 2000 as confirmed against the Visitor Center's artifact record. The artifact record's title documents the 1961 introduction. The record does not establish whether the artifact page itself also documents the 1957 bill.[^1][^2] ## In the at-issue record At-issue item AI-Humphrey-049 (rank 49, shock score 69) appears in the section *The Waverly Promise & the Boundary County Edition*. It states that Humphrey introduced the first Peace Corps bill in 1957, "three years before the idea was credited to someone else," and that he introduced S. 2000 on June 1, 1961. It also states that the Capitol Visitor Center holds the artifact.[^1] The item does not name the person to whom the idea was later credited, and the record does not establish who that was. The item rests on one source, of kind "artifact," at the domain visitthecapitol.gov.[^1] The dossier's section IV.8 is an inventory of instruments commonly credited to Humphrey. In that inventory, the Peace Corps entry ("first bill 1957; S. 2000 introduced June 1, 1961") is marked as confirmed, with the Capitol Visitor Center artifact record given as the basis.[^2] The at-issue record files the item against a July 2026 White House release on the Government Transparency Task Force as its anchor.[^3] ## In the Minnesota record ### Where - The Visitor Center's artifact record for S. 2000 is the location the dossier gives for its confirmation of the June 1, 1961 introduction of Humphrey's Peace Corps bill.[^1] - The artifact record is published on the Visitor Center's domain, visitthecapitol.gov.[^1] ## Notes [^1]: U.S. Capitol Visitor Center, *S. 2000, Peace Corps Bill Introduced by Senator Hubert H.
