What this bill would do

This bill seeks to authorize the President to award the Medal of Honor to E. Royce Williams for his actions during the Korean War. On November 18, 1952, then-Lieutenant Williams engaged in a single-handed dogfight against multiple Soviet MiG-15 aircraft. Despite his aircraft being damaged by enemy fire, he successfully shot down multiple enemy planes and landed safely on the U.S.S. Oriskany. The bill notes that previous awards did not account for top secret radio intelligence and subsequent Russian reports. To facilitate this, the bill includes a waiver of time limitations.
