The U.S. Senate unanimously passed a bill on Monday that already had cleared the House of Representatives redesignating the Jimmy Carter National Historic Site as the âJimmy Carter National Historical Park.â
The measure was introduced into Congress by Sen. David Perdue, R-Ga., and Rep. Sanford Bishop, D-Albany, and cosponsored by the entire Georgia congressional delegation.
