Union Station may be located in D.C., but, like so many buildings here, it belongs to the federal government. With that power in mind, two government employees from Missouri want to tack “Harry S. Truman” on to the front of the train depot/food court’s name.

Senators Claire McCaskill and Roy Blunt introduced a bill today to do just that on what would have been the 33rd president’s 130th birthday.

“It would be a fitting tribute to have the train station just a short walk from the Capitol, that played such an important role in his presidency, bear the name of this great leader,” McCaskill said in a release. “A gutsy straight-talker, ‘Missouri’s Favorite Son,’ and one of America’s most well-respected Presidents, Harry Truman deserves a memorial in Washington that can carry the weight of his heavy accomplishments and can remind future generations of his great legacy that inspired a nation.”

There is no physical memorial for Truman in D.C., although the Department of State’s headquarters is named for him.

Update: D.C. Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton says she supports the plan and will co-sponsor the House companion bill.

“I applaud the bipartisan McCaskill-Blunt bill to name Union Station, a federal building, for Harry Truman, a president much admired in this city,” Norton said in a release. “From integrating the armed forces and the Marshall Plan to the Fair Deal and the creation of the United Nations, Harry Truman was one of our nation’s greatest presidents and deserves recognition in the nation’s capital. My only concern was that the historic name, Union Station, not be lost, but Senators McCaskill and Blunt have thoughtfully kept the name, with the addition of Harry S. Truman. I am particularly pleased to see bipartisan attention paid to Union Station. I hope and believe a new high-profile name will reinvigorate the commitment of Congress to help in our efforts to make Union Station a world-class, 21st-century intermodal facility.”
