To award a Congressional Gold Medal to Lyndon Baines Johnson, the 36th President of the United States whose visionary leadership secured passage of the landmark Voting Rights Act of 1965, Social Security Amendments Act (Medicare) of 1965, Civil Rights Act of 1964, Higher Education Act of 1965, and Immigration and Naturalization Act of 1965.

H.R. 230 is a bipartisan proposal to posthumously award the Congressional Gold Medal—the highest civilian honor bestowed by Congress—to Lyndon Baines Johnson, the 36th President of the United States. The bill recognizes his legislative leadership in securing the passage of transformative laws, including the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Voting Rights Act of 1965, and the creation of Medicare. If passed, the medal would be displayed at the Lyndon Baines Johnson Library and Museum in Austin, Texas, for public viewing and historical research.
