WASHINGTON – Funeral services for former President Jimmy Carter, who passed away on Sunday at age 100, will begin this weekend and end on Jan. 9, moving from his home state of Georgia to Washington, D.C.
Carter’s family and his Secret Service Detail will carry his remains from the Phoebe Sumter Medical Center in Americus, Georgia, to a hearse on Saturday, which will then travel through his hometown of Plains, Georgia, according to a release from the Joint Task Force-National Capital Region.
The motorcade will stop at his boyhood home, during which the National Park Service will salute him and ring the bell on the farm 39 times, a reference to his service as the nation’s 39th president, before heading to Atlanta.
The former Georgia governor’s remains will stop at Georgia’s State Capitol and then lie in repose at the Carter Presidential Center for public visitations in Atlanta until Tuesday, Jan. 7.
On Tuesday, Carter’s remains will be moved to his presidential plane, Special Air Mission 39, where he will travel to Joint Base Andrews in Maryland and then to the U.S. Capitol building.
Carter will then lie in state in the Capitol, where members of Congress can pay their respects during a 3 p.m. service. The public can visit Carter’s remains at the Capitol from 7 p.m. to midnight Tuesday and all day Wednesday.
On Thursday, Jan. 9, Carter will be moved to the National Cathedral for a funeral service at 10 a.m.
Then he and his family will travel back to Plains, Georgia, for a private funeral service that afternoon, followed by a burial at his home.
Congressional leaders also sent a letter Monday to Carter’s son, James Carter III, detailing the plans.
“On behalf of the United States Congress and the American people, we write to express our sincerest condolences to you on the passing of former President Jimmy Carter,” wrote House Speaker Mike Johnson, Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer, soon-to-be Senate Republican Leader John Thune, and House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries.”In recognition of President Carter’s long and distinguished service to the nation, it is our intention to ask the United States House of Representatives and the United States Senate to permit his remains lie in state in the Rotunda of the United States Capitol.”

‘Strong smell’ shuts down flights at major DC-area airports for the second time this month
Check out what’s clicking on FoxBusiness.com.
A reported “strong smell” at a key air traffic control center disrupted flights Friday evening at major airports across the Washington, D.C., region for the second time in two weeks.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) temporarily halted flights at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA), Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD), Baltimore/Washington International Airport (BWI), Charlottesville–Albemarle Airport (CHO) and Richmond International Airport (RIC), the agency told FOX Business in an email.
The FAA said the disruptions were due to a “strong smell” at the Potomac Terminal Radar Approach Control (TRACON) center, which manages airspace in the region.

It was not immediately clear what caused the smell.
Ground stops at Dulles, Reagan National and BWI remained in effect until around 8 p.m. ET before being lifted, according to the FAA’s website.

As of 8:30 p.m., Reagan National was experiencing ground delays, while BWI continued to see departure delays.
Earlier this month, a ground stop was similarly issued at several airports in the Washington, D.C., region after a chemical odor was detected at the TRACON center.

The temporary ground stop March 13 similarly affected DCA, IAD, BWI and RIC, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said at the time.
