What the document says
“at a time which would permit individuals attending this event to also attend the burial of a time capsule in Independence Mall in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, under section 7(f)(1) of the United States Semiquincentennial Commission Act of 2016”
Section 2(c)(1) also fixes the hour of the burial: it is to be held at a time that would let those attending it also attend the burial of a time capsule at Independence Mall in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, under section 7(f)(1) of the United States Semiquincentennial Commission Act of 2016. This Act says nothing further about that other burial.
What the document actually says
“at a time which would permit individuals attending this event to also attend the burial of a time capsule in Independence Mall in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, under section 7(f)(1) of the United States Semiquincentennial Commission Act of 2016”
That sentence, in plain words
The hour is set so people can go to both events. A second box is being buried in Philadelphia that day.
What this is about
Independence Mall is a park in Philadelphia. This law points to an older law from 2016 for that second burial. It does not say more about it.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to Read This Page
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, checked against the page
number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary,
not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the
quotation rather than replacing it.
