S. RES. 142
Expressing concern about environmental crimes and attacks on the human
rights of environmental and land defenders in Latin America and the
Caribbean.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
March 30, 2023
Mr. Menendez (for himself, Mr. Kaine, Mr. Merkley, Mr. Cardin, Mr.
Padilla, Mr. Sanders, Mr. Markey, and Mr. Murphy) submitted the
following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Foreign
Relations
_______________________________________________________________________
RESOLUTION
Expressing concern about environmental crimes and attacks on the human
rights of environmental and land defenders in Latin America and the
Caribbean.
Whereas rising instances of environmental crimes, land grabbing, unregulated and
illegal natural resource destruction and extraction, and irresponsible
infrastructure development threaten biodiversity and rural and
Indigenous community livelihoods in Latin America and the Caribbean,
which is home to 40 percent of the world's species and more than 24
percent of the Earth's forests;
Whereas harassment, threats, assaults, and killings against environmental and
land defenders protesting such crimes and development have increased
throughout the region since 2018;
Whereas, according to Global Witness, Latin America is the deadliest region in
the world for environmental and land defenders, with nearly 75 percent
of the 200 known attacks against such defenders during 2021 taking place
in the region, including--
(1) in Mexico, where 54 environmental and land defenders were murdered
in 2021, representing the highest number of such murders in any country
that year;
(2) in Colombia, where 33 environmental and land defenders were
murdered during 2021, representing the second highest number of such
murders in any country that year;
(3) in Brazil, where 342 environmental and land defenders have been
murdered since 2012, representing the highest number of such murders of any
country since the reporting of such murders began; and
(4) in Peru, Venezuela, and Brazil, where 78 percent of the attacks
against environmental and land defenders in the Amazon region occurred;
Whereas more than 25 percent of the attacks on environmental and land defenders
during 2021 were reportedly linked to resource exploitation, including
logging, mining, large scale agribusiness, hydroelectric dams, and other
infrastructure;
Whereas, approximately 40 to 60 percent of logging activities in the Peruvian
Amazon are illegal, according to INTERPOL, and approximately 95 percent
of deforestation in Brazil in 2021 was irregular, according to the
Brazilian Annual Land Use and Land Cover Mapping Project;
Whereas, in 2021, Indigenous peoples made up more than 40 percent of victims in
fatal attacks against environmental and land defenders worldwide,
despite Indigenous peoples only comprising approximately 5 percent of
the world's population;
Whereas Indigenous peoples, who steward more than 80 percent of the world's
biodiversity, are disproportionately vulnerable to the effects of
environmental loss and more frequently targeted in attacks on
environmental and land defenders;
Whereas women acting in defense of their lands and natural environments in Latin
America face additional threats to their human rights, as Latin America
has the highest rates of gender-based violence in the world;
Whereas many countries in Latin America and the Caribbean lack sufficient
oversight capacity, transparency, and accountability for regulations of
environmental permits and investigations of environmental crimes,
especially in Indigenous lands, nationally protected forests, and other
remote geographical areas with limited government presence, forcing
affected populations to advocate for their land and natural resources at
great personal risk;
Whereas corruption in Latin America and the Caribbean enables the subversion of
laws designed to prevent environmental crime and protect natural
resources, undermining efforts to prevent ecological destruction;
Whereas the COVID-19 pandemic has strained the resources and institutional
capacity of Latin American and Caribbean Governments to address
environmental crimes and prevent the expansion of nonstate actors into
remote areas and border regions where these groups target environmental
and land defenders and engage in illicit mining and drug trafficking
activities;
Whereas the United States Agency for International Development has developed
programs to reduce environmental crimes and other threats to the
Amazon's forests, waters, and peoples throughout Brazil, Colombia,
Ecuador, Guyana, Peru, and Suriname;
Whereas all Latin American and Caribbean countries have ratified the decision by
the 21st Conference of Parties of the United Nations Framework
Convention on Climate Change, adopted at Paris December 12, 2015
(commonly known as the ``Paris Climate Agreement''), which states,
``Parties should, when taking action to address climate change, respect,
promote, and consider their respective obligations on human rights, the
right to health, the rights of indigenous peoples, local communities,
migrants, children, persons with disabilities and people in vulnerable
situations'';
Whereas 15 countries in Latin America ratified the Indigenous and Tribal Peoples
Convention, 1989 (No. 169) of the International Labor Organization,
establishing the rights of Indigenous people to land, natural resources,
and prior consultation on projects affecting their communities, although
many such countries have consistently failed to respect these legally
binding standards;
Whereas 25 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean have signed, and 14 of
these 25 countries have ratified, the Regional Agreement on Access to
Information, Public Participation and Justice in Environmental Matters
in Latin America and the Caribbean, adopted at Escazu, Costa Rica March
4, 2018 (commonly known as the ``Escazu Agreement''), to ensure the
protection of environmental defenders across the region; and
Whereas, on June 9, 2022, at the Ninth Summit of the Americas in Los Angeles,
heads of State and Government of the Western Hemisphere adopted ``Our
Sustainable Green Future'', a commitment to draft and approve national
plans, before the commencement of the Tenth Summit of the Americas in
the Dominican Republic in 2025--
(1) to respond to threats and attacks on environmental defenders and
collect data on such threats and attacks, in accordance with domestic law;
(2) to enact, as appropriate, and enforce domestic laws to protect
environmental defenders and the resources they defend: and
(3) to carry out and implement environmental assessments in accordance
with existing domestic law: Now, therefore be it
Resolved, That the Senate--
(1) underscores the urgency of protecting biodiversity in
Latin America and the Caribbean, ending impunity for
environmental crimes, protecting environmental and land
defenders, and confronting risks and addressing threats to such
actors;
(2) urges governments in Latin America and the Caribbean to
protect the rights of Indigenous peoples and other
environmental and land defenders, including--
(A) strengthening efforts and initiatives aimed at
combating environmental crimes and protecting the
territory of environmental and land defenders;
(B) complying with commitments made under the Paris
Climate Agreement, Convention 169 of the International
Labor Organization, and the Escazu Agreement to pursue
environmental justice and protect the rights of
Indigenous peoples and other environmental and land
defenders, particularly in relation to rights to land
titling and prior consultation; and
(C) implementing ``Our Sustainable Green Future''
commitments made at the Ninth Summit of the Americas to
advance the protection of environmental and land
defenders;
(3) calls on the Secretary of State, in coordination with
the Administrator of the United States Agency for International
Development, to support and assist governments in Latin America
and the Caribbean in meeting regional and international
standards and commitments for the protection of Indigenous
peoples and other environmental and land defenders, including
through--
(A) capacity building initiatives aimed at
strengthening networks of environmental and land
defenders, Indigenous peoples, and civil society
organizations;
(B) providing technical assistance and other
support to combat corruption within agencies dealing
with forestry management and environmental crimes;
(C) collaborating with law enforcement authorities,
including through the sharing of intelligence, to help
dismantle criminal groups responsible for committing
environmental crime and violence against environmental
and land defenders;
(D) reinforcing the importance of free, prior, and
informed consent of Indigenous peoples within such
regional and international commitments;
(E) promoting the participation of women,
Indigenous peoples, Afro-descendant communities,
environmental and land defenders, and other affected
and vulnerable communities in regional and
international forums related to human rights,
environmental protection, and climate change; and
(F) hosting summits and other multilateral forums,
with the participation of governments in the region and
relevant civil society organizations, to share the
experiences of environmental and land defenders and
advance solutions to protect biodiversity and confront
impunity around environmental crime; and
(4) calls on the Administrator of the United States Agency
for International Development, in coordination with the
Secretary of State, to develop comprehensive regional and
subregional action plans with input from environmental and land
defenders to counter environmental crime and attacks against
environmental and land defenders in Latin America and the
Caribbean, including by--
(A) strengthening current programs in Brazil and
Colombia;
(B) expanding key pillars of ongoing programs to
Mexico, Peru, Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador,
where such initiatives are largely absent; and
(C) ensuring that projects supported or funded by
the United States Government in Latin America and the
Caribbean take into account the protection of
Indigenous peoples and environmental and land
defenders.

S. RES. 143
Expressing support for the designation of the week of April 3 through
April 7, 2023, as National Assistant Principals Week.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
March 30, 2023
Mr. Carper (for himself and Mr. Durbin) submitted the following
resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Health, Education,
Labor, and Pensions
_______________________________________________________________________
RESOLUTION
Expressing support for the designation of the week of April 3 through
April 7, 2023, as National Assistant Principals Week.
Whereas the National Association of Secondary School Principals (referred to in
this preamble as ``NASSP''), the National Association of Elementary
School Principals, and the American Federation of School Administrators
have designated the week of April 3 through April 7, 2023, as ``National
Assistant Principals Week'';
Whereas an assistant principal, as a member of the school administration,
interacts with many sectors of the school community, including support
staff, instructional staff, students, and parents;
Whereas assistant principals are responsible for establishing a positive
learning environment and building strong relationships between school
and community;
Whereas assistant principals play a pivotal role in the instructional leadership
of their schools by supervising student instruction, mentoring teachers,
recognizing the achievements of staff, encouraging collaboration among
staff, ensuring the implementation of best practices, monitoring student
achievement and progress, facilitating and modeling data-driven decision
making to inform instruction, and guiding the direction of targeted
intervention and school improvement;
Whereas the day-to-day logistical operations of schools require assistant
principals to monitor and address facility needs, attendance,
transportation issues, and scheduling challenges, as well as to
supervise extra- and co-curricular events;
Whereas assistant principals are entrusted with maintaining an inviting, safe,
and orderly school environment that supports the growth and achievement
of each and every student by nurturing positive peer relationships,
recognizing student achievement, mediating conflicts, analyzing behavior
patterns, providing interventions, and, when necessary, taking
disciplinary actions;
Whereas, since its establishment in 2004, the NASSP National Assistant Principal
of the Year Program has recognized outstanding middle and high school
assistant principals who demonstrate success in leadership, curriculum,
and personalization; and
Whereas the week of April 3 through April 7, 2023, is an appropriate week to
designate as National Assistant Principals Week: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Senate--
(1) supports the designation of National Assistant
Principals Week;
(2) honors the contributions of assistant principals to the
success of students in the United States; and
(3) encourages the people of the United States to observe
National Assistant Principals Week with appropriate ceremonies
and activities that promote awareness of the role played by
assistant principals in school leadership and ensuring that
every child has access to a high-quality education.

rights of transgender and nonbinary people under the law and ensure

_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
March 30, 2023
Mr. Markey (for himself, Mr. Sanders, Mr. Merkley, Ms. Warren, Ms.
Hirono, and Ms. Smith) submitted the following resolution; which was
referred to the Committee on the Judiciary
_______________________________________________________________________
RESOLUTION
Recognizing that it is the duty of the Federal Government to develop
and implement a Transgender Bill of Rights to protect and codify the
rights of transgender and nonbinary people under the law and ensure
their access to medical care, shelter, safety, and economic security.
Whereas an estimated 1,600,000 transgender adults live in the United States;
Whereas title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (42 U.S.C. 2000e et seq.)
requires equal treatment under the law regardless of sex;
Whereas the Supreme Court of the United States affirmed in Bostock v. Clayton
County, Georgia, 140 S. Ct. 1731 (2020), that Federal protection against
discrimination on the basis of sex includes protection from
discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity;
Whereas, despite these protections, transgender people still experience
discrimination in--
(1) medical care;
(2) employment;
(3) housing;
(4) education;
(5) lending; and
(6) other basic necessities;
Whereas State lawmakers introduced more than 300 bills attacking the rights of
LGBTQI+ people, and transgender people in particular, in the first 6
weeks of 2023;
Whereas the right of transgender and nonbinary people to seek lifesaving gender-
affirming care is under threat across the United States;
Whereas the provision of best-practice, age-appropriate, gender-affirming health
care is endorsed by the American Academy of Child and Adolescent
Psychiatry, the American Academy of Family Physicians, the American
Academy of Nursing, the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American
College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, the American College of
Physicians, the American Counseling Association, the American Heart
Association, the American Medical Association, the American Nurses
Association, the American Osteopathic Association, the American
Psychiatric Association, the American Psychological Association, the
American Public Health Association, the American Society of Plastic
Surgeons, the Endocrine Society, the National Association of Nurse
Practitioners in Women's Health, the Pediatric Endocrine Society, the
Society for Adolescent Health and Medicine, the World Medical
Association, and the World Professional Association for Transgender
Health;
Whereas transgender and nonbinary people--
(1) face significant barriers to legal recognition of their truest
selves on government documentation and identification;
(2) experience disproportionately high rates of poverty, homelessness,
violence, and suicide; and
(3) detained in jails, prisons, and immigration detention centers are
especially vulnerable to violence and abuse and are often deprived of
gender-affirming resources and health care;
Whereas transgender and nonbinary people--
(1) make unique, valuable contributions to American society and culture
worth honoring and celebrating;
(2) have existed throughout history across the globe, demonstrating
resilience, bravery, and authenticity; and
(3) are parents, siblings, children, chosen family, and friends
deserving of human dignity and support: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That it is the sense of the Senate that--
(1) the Federal Government has a duty to protect the rights
of transgender and nonbinary people by implementing a
``Transgender Bill of Rights'' that includes--
(A) ensuring transgender and nonbinary people have
equal access to services and public accommodations that
align with their gender identity by--
(i) amending the Civil Rights Act of 1964
(42 U.S.C. 2000a et seq.) to prohibit
discrimination on the basis of sex, including
gender identity and sex characteristics, in
public accommodations and federally funded
programs and activities;
(ii) expanding the definition of public
accommodation to address the full range of
places and services that members of the general
public utilize;
(iii) explicitly clarifying that it is
illegal to discriminate on the basis of sex,
including gender identity or sex
characteristics, in public accommodations and
services on religious grounds; and
(iv) amending Federal education laws to
ensure that those laws protect students from
discrimination based on sex, including gender
identity and sex characteristics, and guarantee
the rights of students to--
(I) participate in sports on teams
and in programs that best align with
their gender identity;
(II) use school facilities that
best align with their gender identity;
(III) have their authentic identity
respected in the classroom; and
(IV) have access to curriculum and
books that accurately portray the
substantive history and identity of
LGBTQI+ people and Black, Indigenous,
and people of color;
(B) recognizing the right to bodily autonomy and
ethical health care for transgender and nonbinary
people by--
(i) strengthening, implementing, and
enforcing prohibitions on discrimination in the
provision of health care on the basis of sex,
including on the basis of actual or perceived
gender identity or sex characteristics;
(ii) eliminating unnecessary governmental
restrictions on the provision of, and access
to, gender-affirming medical care and
counseling for transgender and nonbinary adults
and youth;
(iii) ensuring that health care providers
following standards of care for transgender and
nonbinary people are not targeted for criminal
or civil penalties, or for professional
discipline;
(iv) protecting children from forceful
removal from supportive homes;
(v) protecting providers of gender-
affirming care, reproductive health care, and
abortion health care from threats and acts of
violence related to their work;
(vi) expanding access to competent health
care providers serving transgender and
nonbinary patients, including by recruiting and
training more health care providers to provide
appropriate care;
(vii) expanding telehealth access to
provide patients in rural and other underserved
locations better access to health care
services;
(viii) codifying Roe v. Wade, 410 U.S. 113
(1973), guaranteeing the right to abortion, and
codifying the right to reproductive health care
such as contraceptives and assistive
reproductive technology for everyone, including
transgender and nonbinary people; and
(ix) banning the use of forced surgery that
violates medical ethics and human rights on
intersex children and infants;
(C) ensuring transgender and nonbinary people can
care for themselves and their families by fully
codifying the judgment of the Supreme Court of the
United States in Bostock v. Clayton County, Georgia,
140 S. Ct. 1731 (2020) by--
(i) eliminating hiring and employment
discrimination and workforce exclusion by
amending title VII of the Civil Rights Act of
1964 (42 U.S.C. 2000e et seq.) to explicitly
clarify that employers may not discriminate on
the basis of actual or perceived gender
identity or sex characteristics;
(ii) amending the Fair Housing Act (42
U.S.C. 3601 et seq.) to explicitly clarify that
it prohibits all forms of sex discrimination,
including on the basis of gender identity or
sex characteristics; and
(iii) amending the Equal Credit Opportunity
Act (15 U.S.C. 1691 et seq.) to explicitly
clarify that it prohibits all forms of sex
discrimination, including on the basis of
gender identity or sex characteristics;
(D) providing accessible avenues for legal
recognition of transgender and nonbinary identities and
guaranteeing full participation in civil life by--
(i) eliminating Federal gender
identification requirements on government
documents that are unnecessary to determine the
identity of the holder or are otherwise
irrelevant to the purpose of the document;
(ii) eliminating burdensome barriers to
updating sex and names on passports, Social
Security cards, and other forms of Federal
Government identification and records,
permitting, where possible, changes on self-
attestation alone;
(iii) requiring that an ``X'' marker be
available on Federal Government identification
and records that still require gender;
(iv) requiring States to permit voters to
update their name and gender on their voter
registration and vote on the same day of
Federal elections; and
(v) making explicit that existing Federal
statutes prohibiting sex discrimination in jury
service also prohibit discrimination based on
gender identity and sex characteristics;
(E) strengthening the safety of transgender and
nonbinary people by--
(i) investing in community services to
prevent intimate partner, family, and community
violence against transgender and nonbinary
people and expand services for transgender and
nonbinary survivors;
(ii) investing in mental health services
and suicide prevention programs designed for
transgender and nonbinary people;
(iii) banning fraudulent and harmful so-
called ``conversion therapy'' practices;
(iv) ensuring robust regulations and
procedures that affirm that claims for
immigration relief or asylum based on
persecution related to gender, sexual
orientation, gender identity, and sex
characteristics are protected grounds in the
context of asylum adjudications; and
(v) exploring policies and practices that
would improve the safety of transgender and
nonbinary individuals incarcerated in jails,
prisons, and immigration detention facilities,
and ensure that those populations of
transgender and nonbinary individuals have
access to gender-affirming care, appropriate
services, and commissary items; and
(F) actively enforcing the civil rights of
transgender and nonbinary people by all government
agencies including by--
(i) requiring the Attorney General to
designate a liaison within the Civil Rights
Division of the Department of Justice whose job
is dedicated to advising on and overseeing
enforcement of the civil rights of transgender
and nonbinary people; and
(ii) appropriating the funds necessary to
fully staff and support the enforcement of
these rights across agencies;
(2) the actions listed in this resolution are only the
first steps toward transgender equality;
(3) to carry out the goals in this resolution, Federal
agencies must collect gender identity and sex characteristics
information on a voluntary, confidential basis solely for
equity and public health purposes in key Federal surveys;
(4) the Federal Government must make an ongoing commitment
to the rights of transgender and nonbinary people; and
(5) policies concerning transgender rights must be led and
informed by transgender communities, in particular Black and
Indigenous women who face heightened risk of violence, poverty,
discrimination, and other harm due to their intersecting
identities.

1st Session
S. RES. 145
Calling for the immediate release of Russian opposition leader Vladimir
Kara-Murza, who was unjustly detained on April 11, 2022.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
March 30, 2023
Mr. Rubio (for himself, Mr. Durbin, Mr. Wicker, Mr. Coons, Mr.
Ricketts, Mrs. Shaheen, and Mr. Risch) submitted the following
resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations
_______________________________________________________________________
RESOLUTION
Calling for the immediate release of Russian opposition leader Vladimir
Kara-Murza, who was unjustly detained on April 11, 2022.
Whereas Vladimir Vladimirovich Kara-Murza (referred to in this preamble as ``Mr.
Kara-Murza'') has tirelessly worked for decades to advance the cause of
freedom, democracy, and human rights for the people of the Russian
Federation;
Whereas, in retaliation for his advocacy, two attempts have been made on Mr.
Kara-Murza's life, as--
(1) on May 26, 2015, Mr. Kara-Murza fell ill with symptoms indicative
of poisoning and was hospitalized; and
(2) on February 2, 2017, he fell ill with similar symptoms and was
placed in a medically induced coma;
Whereas independent investigations conducted by Bellingcat, the Insider, and Der
Spiegel found that the same unit of the Federal Security Service of the
Russian Federation responsible for poisoning Mr. Kara-Murza was
responsible for poisoning Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny and
activists Timur Kuashev, Ruslan Magomedragimov, and Nikita Isayev;
Whereas, on February 24, 2022, Vladimir Putin launched another unprovoked,
unjustified, and illegal invasion into Ukraine in contravention of the
obligations freely undertaken by the Russian Federation to respect the
territorial integrity of Ukraine under the Budapest Memorandum of 1994,
the Minsk protocols of 2014 and 2015, and international law;
Whereas, on March 5, 2022, Vladimir Putin signed a law criminalizing the
distribution of truthful statements about the invasion of Ukraine by the
Russian Federation and mandating up to 15 years in prison for such
offenses;
Whereas, since February 24, 2022, Mr. Kara-Murza has used his voice and platform
to join more than 15,000 citizens of the Russian Federation in
peacefully protesting the war against Ukraine and millions more who
silently oppose the war;
Whereas, on April 11, 2022, five police officers arrested Mr. Kara-Murza in
front of his home and denied his right to an attorney, and the next day
Mr. Kara-Murza was sentenced to 15 days in prison for disobeying a
police order;
Whereas, on April 22, 2022, the Investigative Committee of the Russian
Federation charged Mr. Kara-Murza with violations under the law signed
on March 5, 2022, for his fact-based statements condemning the invasion
of Ukraine by the Russian Federation;
Whereas Mr. Kara-Murza was then placed into pretrial detention and ordered to be
held until at least June 12, 2022;
Whereas, if convicted of those charges, Mr. Kara-Murza faces detention in a
penitentiary system that human rights nongovernmental organizations have
criticized for widespread torture, ill-treatment, and suspicious deaths
of prisoners;
Whereas, on May 26, 2022, the United States Senate unanimously agreed to Senate
Resolution 632 (117th Congress) calling for the immediate release of Mr.
Kara-Murza, Alexei Navalny, and other citizens of the Russian Federation
imprisoned for opposing the regime of Vladimir Putin and the war against
Ukraine;
Whereas, on July 27, 2022, the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation
charged Mr. Kara-Murza for his alleged engagements with Free Russia
Foundation and Open Russia, both of which are nongovernmental
organizations targeted by the law of the Russian Federation on
undesirable organizations;
Whereas, on October 6, 2022, the Investigative Committee of the Russian
Federation charged Mr. Kara-Murza with high treason on the grounds that
he cooperated with a North Atlantic Treaty Organization member nation,
which was corroborated by the public speeches he delivered in the United
States, Portugal, and Finland;
Whereas, on March 3, 2023, in response to bipartisan requests from Congress, the
United States Government imposed sanctions under the Global Magnitsky
Human Rights Accountability Act (22 U.S.C. 10101 et seq.) on three
Russian individuals, Elena Anatolievna Lenskaya, Andrei Andreevich
Zadachin, and Danila Yurievich Mikheev, for their involvement in the
unjust detention of Mr. Kara-Murza; and
Whereas Mr. Kara-Murza's attorney reported that his client's health deteriorated
to the point that he was unfit to attend his hearing on March 16, 2023,
as Mr. Kara-Murza was being treated for polyneuropathy, a condition that
he sustained from poison attacks on May 26, 2015, and February 2, 2017:
Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Senate--
(1) condemns the unjust detention and indicting of Russian
opposition leader Vladimir Vladimirovich Kara-Murza, who has
courageously stood up to oppression in the Russian Federation;
(2) expresses solidarity with Vladimir Vladimirovich Kara-
Murza, his family, and all individuals in the Russian
Federation imprisoned for exercising their fundamental freedoms
of speech, assembly, and belief;
(3) urges the United States Government and other allied
governments to work to secure the immediate release of Vladimir
Vladimirovich Kara-Murza, Alexei Navalny, and other citizens of
the Russian Federation imprisoned for opposing the regime of
Vladimir Putin and the war against Ukraine; and
(4) calls on the President to increase support provided by
the United States Government for those advocating for democracy
and independent media in the Russian Federation, which Vladimir
Vladimirovich Kara-Murza has worked to advance.

Whereas Jereima ``Jeri'' Bustamante (referred to in this preamble as ``Jeri
Bustamante'') lived the American Dream;
Whereas, after moving from Panama to the United States with her family, Jeri
Bustamante--
(1) attended Miami Beach Senior High School; and
(2) earned a Bachelor's Degree in Communication and Media Sciences and
a Master's Degree in Public Administration from Florida International
University;
Whereas Jeri Bustamante had a tireless work ethic and a passion for
communication and paid for her education by working while enrolled in
school;
Whereas that tireless work ethic propelled Jeri Bustamante to professional
success, beginning with an internship at a Miami television station and
culminating in a period of service as press secretary to Governor Rick
Scott;
Whereas the enthusiasm, compassion, tenacity, and vibrant energy of Jeri
Bustamante are greatly missed by her family, friends, and coworkers;
Whereas the spirit of Jeri Bustamante lives on through the Jereima Bustamante
Memorial Scholarship, which aims to help graduates of Miami Beach Senior
High School achieve their goals and pursue the American Dream through a
college education; and
Whereas, April 8, 2023, marks 5 years since the life of Jeri Bustamante was
tragically cut short in a fatal boating accident: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Senate--
(1) honors the life and memory of Jereima ``Jeri''
Bustamante (referred to in this resolution as ``Jeri
Bustamante'');
(2) offers heartfelt condolences to the family, loved ones,
and friends of Jeri Bustamante;
(3) recognizes that living the American Dream remains
possible for any individual who, following the example of Jeri
Bustamante, works hard to pursue and achieve a goal; and
(4) encourages the recipients of the Jereima Bustamante
Memorial Scholarship to carry on the legacy of Jeri Bustamante.

1st Session
S. RES. 147
Designating April 2023 as ``Preserving and Protecting Local News
Month'' and recognizing the importance and significance of local news.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
March 30, 2023
Mr. Schatz (for himself, Mr. Blumenthal, Mr. Padilla, Mr. Markey, Ms.
Cantwell, Mr. Casey, Mr. Warner, Mr. Lujan, Ms. Hirono, Mr. Kelly, Mr.
Wyden, and Ms. Klobuchar) submitted the following resolution; which was
referred to the Committee on the Judiciary
_______________________________________________________________________
RESOLUTION
Designating April 2023 as ``Preserving and Protecting Local News
Month'' and recognizing the importance and significance of local news.
Whereas the United States was founded on the principle of freedom of the press
enshrined in the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United
States, which declares that ``Congress shall make no law . . . abridging
the freedom of speech, or of the press . . .'';
Whereas an informed citizenry depends on accurate and unbiased news reporting to
inform the judgment of the people;
Whereas a robust, diverse, and sustainable local news presence leads to civic
engagement and the buttressing of democratic norms and practices;
Whereas the absence of local news outlets and investigative reporting allows
local government corruption and corporate malfeasance to go unchecked;
Whereas local journalists help combat disinformation by using their community
knowledge and connections to debunk fraudulent or misleading content;
Whereas local cable franchises routinely provide for public educational and
government access channels on their systems, and those channels--
(1) offer vital local civic programming that informs communities;
(2) provide news and information not often available on other local
broadcast channels or cable;
(3) supplement local journalism; and
(4) at times, are the only source for local news;
Whereas the people of the United States trust local news sources by a 2-to-1
margin;
Whereas, according to recent research--
(1) the United States has lost more than 2,500 local print outlets
since 2005, which accounts for \1/4\ of all local print outlets, and is on
track to lose \1/3\ by 2025;
(2) an average of more than 2 local print outlets are being shuttered
every week in the United States;
(3) more than 200 of the 3,143 counties and county equivalents in the
United States have no local newspaper at all, creating a news shortage for
the 4,000,000 residents of those areas;
(4) of the remaining counties in the United States, more than \1/2\
have only 1 newspaper to cover populations ranging from fewer than 1,000 to
more than 1,000,000 residents and \2/3\ have no daily newspaper, with fewer
than 100 of these counties having a digital substitute;
(5) more than \1/2\ of all newspapers in the United States have changed
owners during the past decade, and, in 2020, the 25 largest newspaper
ownership companies owned \1/3\ of all daily newspapers, including 70
percent of newspapers that still circulate daily;
(6) of the surviving 6,700 newspapers in the United States, not fewer
than 1,000 qualify as ``ghost newspapers'', or newspapers with reporting
and photography staffs that are so significantly reduced that they can no
longer provide much of the breaking news or public service journalism that
once informed readers about vital issues in their communities; and
(7) rural counties are among the counties most deeply impacted by the
loss of local reporting, as more than 500 of the 2,500 newspapers that have
closed or merged since 2005 are in rural counties;
Whereas, while overall employment in newspaper, television, radio, and digital
newsrooms dropped by roughly 26 percent, or 30,000 jobs, between 2008
and 2020, the plunge in newspaper newsrooms alone was much worse at 57
percent, or 40,000 jobs, during that same time period;
Whereas the number of news employees in the radio broadcasting industry dropped
by 26 percent between 2008 and 2020;
Whereas digital native publications have laid off hundreds of journalists, and
many of those publications have shuttered during the last year;
Whereas beat reporting, meaning the day-to-day coverage of a particular field
that allows a journalist to develop expertise and cultivate sources, has
ceased to be a viable career for would-be journalists due to the
decimation of newsroom budgets;
Whereas requests submitted under section 552 of title 5, United States Code
(commonly referred to as ``Freedom of Information Act requests''), by
local newspapers to local, State, and Federal agencies fell by nearly 50
percent between 2005 and 2010, demonstrating a significant drop in the
extent to which local reporters request government records;
Whereas newspapers alone lost more than $39,800,000,000 in advertising revenue
between 2005 and 2020;
Whereas the sponsorship revenue of all-news radio stations dropped by 25 percent
between 2019 and 2021;
Whereas there remains a significant gender disparity in newsroom employment,
with women comprising approximately \1/3\ of staff who are 30 years of
age or older;
Whereas women who are local television news anchors and reporters, especially
women of color, are often subject to harassment and stalking;
Whereas, across the United States, there are 195 newspapers published by and for
Black readers, and, in recent years, many of those newspapers have
seen--
(1) significant losses in advertising revenue as small businesses in
their communities were forced to close; and
(2) declines in circulation due to the closures of businesses in their
communities;
Whereas the number of Black journalists working at daily newspapers dropped by
40 percent between 1997 and 2014, more than for any other demographic
group;
Whereas the number of print media sources published by and for American Indian
readers has shrunk dramatically in recent years, from 700 media outlets
in 1998 to only 200 in 2018;
Whereas Tribally owned news outlets are often dependent on Tribal governments
for funding, but most of those outlets lack the policy structure
necessary to fully protect journalistic independence;
Whereas a 2018 survey by the Native American Journalists Association found that
83 percent of respondents believed that Native press coverage of Tribal
government affairs was sometimes, frequently, or always censored;
Whereas there are more than 550 Latino news media outlets in the United States,
and those news media outlets rely primarily on a declining advertising
revenue base;
Whereas the lack of local news impacts communities that speak languages other
than English, which are often excluded from national media coverage;
Whereas more than 100 local newsrooms have closed during the COVID-19 pandemic;
Whereas the COVID-19 pandemic took a substantial economic toll on the local news
industry, contributing to budget cuts, staff layoffs, and scores of
newsroom closures, from which the industry has yet to fully recover;
Whereas PEN America proposed ``a major reimagining of the local news space'' in
its 2019 call-to-action report, ``Losing the News: The Decimation of
Local Journalism and the Search for Solutions'', and called on society
and the Federal Government to urgently address the alarming demise of
local journalism; and
Whereas, half a century ago, Congress perceived that the commercial television
industry would not independently provide the educational and public
interest broadcasting that was appropriate and necessary for the
country, and, informed by an independent report prepared by the Carnegie
Commission on Educational Television, created the Corporation for Public
Broadcasting, which has since ensured that radio and television include
public interest educational and reporting programs using annually
appropriated funds: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Senate--
(1) designates April 2023 as ``Preserving and Protecting
Local News Month'';
(2) affirms that local news serves an essential function in
the democracy of the United States;
(3) recognizes local news as a public good; and
(4) acknowledges the valuable contributions of local
journalism towards the maintenance of healthy and vibrant
communities.

1st Session
S. RES. 149
Designating the first week of April 2023 as ``National Asbestos
Awareness Week''.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
March 30, 2023
Mr. Tester (for himself, Mr. Daines, Mr. Merkley, Mr. Carper, Mr.
Durbin, Mr. Markey, Mr. Padilla, Ms. Warren, and Mr. Whitehouse)
submitted the following resolution; which was considered and agreed to
_______________________________________________________________________
RESOLUTION
Designating the first week of April 2023 as ``National Asbestos
Awareness Week''.
Whereas dangerous asbestos fibers are invisible and cannot be smelled or tasted;
Whereas the inhalation of airborne asbestos fibers can cause significant damage;
Whereas asbestos fibers can cause cancer, such as mesothelioma, asbestosis, and
other health problems;
Whereas symptoms of asbestos-related diseases can take between 10 and 50 years
to present themselves;
Whereas the projected life expectancy for an individual diagnosed with
mesothelioma is between 6 and 24 months;
Whereas little is known about late-stage treatment of asbestos-related diseases,
and there is no cure for those diseases;
Whereas early detection of asbestos-related diseases might give some patients
increased treatment options and might improve the prognoses of those
patients;
Whereas, although the consumption of asbestos within the United States has been
substantially reduced, the United States continues to consume tons of
the fibrous mineral each year for use in certain products;
Whereas thousands of people in the United States have died from asbestos-related
diseases, and thousands more die every year from those diseases;
Whereas, although individuals continue to be exposed to asbestos, safety
measures relating to, and the prevention of, asbestos exposure have
significantly reduced the incidence of asbestos-related diseases and can
further reduce the incidence of those diseases;
Whereas thousands of workers in the United States face significant asbestos
exposure, which has been a cause of occupational cancer;
Whereas a significant percentage of all victims of asbestos-related diseases
were exposed to asbestos on naval ships and in shipyards;
Whereas asbestos was used in the construction of a significant number of office
buildings and public facilities built before 1975;
Whereas people in the small community of Libby, Montana, suffer from asbestos-
related diseases, including mesothelioma, at a significantly higher rate
than people in the United States as a whole; and
Whereas the designation of a ``National Asbestos Awareness Week'' will raise
public awareness about the prevalence of asbestos-related diseases and
the dangers of asbestos exposure: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Senate--
(1) designates the first week of April 2023 as ``National
Asbestos Awareness Week'';
(2) urges the Surgeon General to warn and educate people
about the public health issue of asbestos exposure, which may
be hazardous to their health; and
(3) respectfully requests that the Secretary of the Senate
transmit a copy of this resolution to the Office of the Surgeon
General.

Whereas Cesar Estrada Chavez effectively used peaceful tactics that included

call attention to the terrible working and living conditions of
farmworkers in the United States;
Whereas, under the leadership of Cesar Estrada Chavez, the United Farm Workers
of America organized thousands of migrant farmworkers to fight for fair
wages, health care coverage, pension benefits, livable housing, and
respect;
Whereas the efforts of the United Farm Workers of America brought about the
enactment of the landmark California Agricultural Labor Relations Act in
1975, which sought justice and guaranteed certain protections for
farmworkers;
Whereas, through his commitment to nonviolence, Cesar Estrada Chavez brought
dignity and respect to the organized farmworkers and became an
inspiration to, and a resource for, individuals engaged in human rights
struggles throughout the world;
Whereas the influence of Cesar Estrada Chavez extends far beyond agriculture and
provides inspiration for individuals working to better human rights,

Whereas more than 10 States and dozens of communities across the United States
honor the life and legacy of Cesar Estrada Chavez on March 31st of each
year;
Whereas March 31 is recognized as an official State holiday in California,
Colorado, and Texas, and there is growing support to designate the
birthday of Cesar Estrada Chavez as a national day of service to
memorialize his heroism;
Whereas, during his lifetime, Cesar Estrada Chavez was a recipient of the Martin
Luther King, Jr. Nonviolent Peace Prize;
Whereas, on August 8, 1994, Cesar Estrada Chavez was posthumously awarded the
Presidential Medal of Freedom;
Whereas President Barack Obama first proclaimed March 31, 2010, to be ``Cesar
Chavez Day'' and asked all people of the United States to observe March
31 with service, community, and education programs to honor the enduring
legacy of Cesar Estrada Chavez;
Whereas, on May 5, 2012, the Navy christened and launched the dry cargo ship the
USNS Cesar Chavez, in honor of Cesar Estrada Chavez, who served in the
Navy during World War II, and his role as a prominent civil rights
activist;
Whereas, on October 8, 2012, President Barack Obama authorized the Secretary of
the Interior to establish a Cesar Estrada Chavez National Monument in
Keene, California;
Whereas President Joseph R. Biden, Jr., most recently honored the life and
service of Cesar Estrada Chavez by proclaiming March 31, 2022, to be
``Cesar Chavez Day'' and by asking all people of the United States to

honor the enduring legacy of Cesar Estrada Chavez; and
Whereas the United States should continue the efforts of Cesar Estrada Chavez to

<DOC>
118th CONGRESS
1st Session
S. RES. 152
Designating April 2023 as ``National Native Plant Month''.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
March 30, 2023
Ms. Hirono (for herself and Mr. Braun) submitted the following
resolution; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary
_______________________________________________________________________
RESOLUTION
Designating April 2023 as ``National Native Plant Month''.
Whereas native plants are indigenous species that have evolved and occur
naturally in a particular region, ecosystem, and habitat;
Whereas there are more than 17,000 native plant species in the United States,
which include trees, shrubs, vines, grasses, and wildflowers;
Whereas native plants help prevent flooding, drought, and erosion and can help
restore damaged ecosystems;
Whereas native plants provide shelter as well as nectar, pollen, and seeds that
serve as food for native butterflies, insects, birds, and other wildlife
in ways that non-native plants cannot;
Whereas more than 200 of the native plant species in the United States are
estimated to have been lost since the early 19th century;
Whereas habitat loss and degradation, extreme weather events, and invasive
species have contributed to the decline of native plants in the United
States; and
Whereas native plants are essential components of resilient ecosystems and the
natural heritage of the United States: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Senate--
(1) designates April 2023 as ``National Native Plant
Month''; and
(2) recognizes the benefits of native plants to the
environment and economy of the United States.

S. RES. 153
Recognizing the roles and the contributions of care workers in the
United States and expressing support for the designation of April 2023
as ``Care Worker Recognition Month''.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
March 30, 2023
Mr. Casey (for himself, Mr. Kaine, Mr. Merkley, Mr. Sanders, Ms.
Hassan, Mr. Markey, Mr. Blumenthal, Ms. Hirono, Mr. Wyden, Mr. Padilla,
Mr. Whitehouse, Mr. Fetterman, Ms. Smith, Ms. Warren, Ms. Duckworth,
Mr. Lujan, and Mr. Brown) submitted the following resolution; which was
referred to the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions
_______________________________________________________________________
RESOLUTION
Recognizing the roles and the contributions of care workers in the
United States and expressing support for the designation of April 2023
as ``Care Worker Recognition Month''.
Whereas there is a growing need on the part of families for care, from childcare
to support for older adults and individuals with chronic illnesses or
disabilities;
Whereas childcare workers provide the essential service of taking care of a
child's basic needs while fostering a child's early emotional, social,
and intellectual development;
Whereas direct care workers allow older adults, individuals with disabilities,
and children with complex medical needs to remain in their homes and
communities and live healthy, independent, and dignified lives by
providing support with critical daily tasks, such as eating, dressing,
and personal hygiene;
Whereas investment in care workers is vital to labor force participation and a
strong economy;
Whereas care workers give family caregivers the assurance that their homes are
being looked after and that their children, parents, and loved ones are
in the hands of professionals;
Whereas care work is an industry that particularly benefits women, who account
for the majority of the care workforce, and that allows other women to
participate in the labor force;
Whereas access to childcare and home and community-based care helps families
boost their economic stability by working increased hours, taking fewer
days off, and pursuing opportunities to advance their education and
careers;
Whereas, when families are forced out of the labor market due to caregiving
responsibilities, they will experience diminished income, access to
benefits, and retirement savings over their lifetimes;
Whereas children who receive high-quality childcare are healthier, more likely
to graduate from college, and more likely to have higher incomes;
Whereas substandard wages and poor working conditions continue to fuel shortages
and turnover in the care industry;
Whereas the median annual earnings for full-time childcare workers and home care
workers is less than $30,000, and, as a result, nearly 1 in 6 home care
workers lives in poverty, and 1 in 3 childcare workers is experiencing
food insecurity;
Whereas COVID-19 both heightened the existing challenges for, and placed new
stress on, care workers, leading to burnout and exhaustion;
Whereas the demand for home and community-based care services is growing,
because the population of adults who are 65 and older will nearly double
by 2050, and 10,000 individuals are aging into retirement per day;
Whereas 88 percent of aging adults prefer to receive long-term supports and
services in home and community-based settings;
Whereas, across the United States, approximately 656,000 aging individuals and
individuals with disabilities are on waiting lists to access home and
community-based services through Medicaid;
Whereas home care jobs are the jobs of the future, because the home care
workforce is projected to add more new jobs than any other single
occupation in the United States and will add more than 1,000,000 new
jobs from 2020 to 2030;
Whereas care jobs are the jobs of the future, because these jobs cannot be
automated or outsourced;
Whereas turnover and shortages in the care workforce are costly to the economy,
because they lead to higher costs for taxpayer-supported programs and
industry employers that need to keep hiring and training new workers;
Whereas large-scale labor force exits and work disruptions due to childcare
needs annually cost the economy an estimated $122,000,000,000 in lost
income, productivity, and tax revenue;
Whereas investing in care infrastructure will lead to fewer staffing shortages
and higher productivity, while ensuring a more robust and stable
pipeline of workers from which businesses can recruit; and
Whereas investing in direct care infrastructure specifically will result in
savings, because it costs $26,000 per individual per year to receive
care in a home in contrast to $90,000 per individual per year in a
congregate setting: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Senate--
(1) expresses support for the designation of April 2023 as
``Care Worker Recognition Month'';
(2) recognizes the roles and the contributions of home care
workers in the United States in providing the care necessary
for older adults and disabled individuals to live independently
and in dignity;
(3) recognizes the role and contributions of early
educators and childcare workers in the United States in
providing a nurturing, enriching environment for children to
grow and learn;
(4) recognizes the roles and the contributions of care
workers in the United States in enabling caregivers the
opportunity to pursue educational attainment and to remain in
or reenter the workforce;
(5) recognizes that the care industry is crucial to
economic growth; and
(6) thanks and promotes the care worker profession.

Supporting the goals and ideals of International Transgender Day of

_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
March 30, 2023
Mr. Schatz (for himself, Mr. Heinrich, Mr. Murphy, Mr. Carper, Mrs.
Feinstein, Mr. Booker, Mr. Whitehouse, Ms. Baldwin, Ms. Cortez Masto,
Mr. Casey, Ms. Hirono, Mr. Bennet, Mr. Blumenthal, Mr. Markey, Ms.

Mrs. Murray, Mr. Fetterman, and Mr. Wyden) submitted the following
resolution; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary
_______________________________________________________________________
RESOLUTION
Supporting the goals and ideals of International Transgender Day of
Visibility.
Whereas International Transgender Day of Visibility was founded in 2009 to honor
the achievements and contributions of the transgender community;
Whereas International Transgender Day of Visibility is designed to be
encompassing of a large community of diverse individuals;
Whereas International Transgender Day of Visibility is a time to celebrate the
lives and achievements of transgender individuals around the world and
to recognize the bravery it takes to live openly and authentically;
Whereas International Transgender Day of Visibility is also a time to raise
awareness of the discrimination and violence that the transgender
community still faces, which make it difficult and even unsafe or fatal
for many transgender individuals to be visible;
Whereas the transgender community has suffered oppression disproportionately in
many ways, including through--
(1) discrimination in employment and in the workplace;
(2) discrimination in educational institutions; and
(3) violence;
Whereas forms of transgender oppression are exacerbated for transgender
individuals of color, individuals with limited resources, immigrants,
individuals living with disabilities, justice-involved individuals, and
transgender youth;
Whereas a record number of anti-transgender State bills have been introduced in
recent years, including more than 700 anti-transgender bills during the
years 2021, 2022, and 2023, targeting areas including--
(1) education, including bans on books and curricula relating to gender
identity;
(2) health care; and
(3) identification documents, including restrictions on realignment or
correction of birth certificates and other forms of identification
documents;
Whereas the transgender community has made it clear that transgender individuals
will not be erased and deserve to be accorded all of the rights and
opportunities made available to all;
Whereas, before the creation of the United States, Indigenous two-spirit,
transgender individuals existed across North America in many Native
American communities, with specific terms in their own languages for
these individuals and the social and spiritual roles they fulfilled in
their communities, and, while many traditions were lost or actively
suppressed by the efforts of missionaries, government agents, boarding
schools, and settlers, these traditions have experienced a revival in
recent decades;
Whereas transgender individuals continue to tell their stories and push for full
equity under the law;
Whereas the civil rights struggle has been strengthened and inspired by the
leadership of the transgender community;
Whereas transgender individuals in the United States have made significant
strides in elected office and political representation;
Whereas not fewer than 29 States have at least 1 transgender elected official at
the State or municipal level;
Whereas there are 17 transgender, gender-nonconforming, or nonbinary elected
officials in State legislatures, specifically--
(1) Gerri Cannon;
(2) Emily Dievendorf;
(3) Leigh Finke;
(4) S.J. Howell;
(5) Dominique Johnson;
(6) Alicia Kozlowski;
(7) Sarah McBride;
(8) Samantha Montano;
(9) Alissandra Murray;
(10) DeShanna Neal;
(11) Danica Roem;
(12) James Roesener;
(13) Taylor Small;
(14) Izzy Smith-Wade-El;
(15) Brianna Titone;
(16) Mauree Turner; and
(17) Zooey Zephyr;
Whereas voters in the State of Virginia elected Danica Roem to be the first
openly transgender female State legislator in the United States;
Whereas voters in the State of Delaware elected Sarah McBride as the first
openly transgender State senator in the United States;
Whereas voters in the State of Oklahoma elected Mauree Turner as the first
openly nonbinary State legislator in the United States;
Whereas, in the State of Illinois, Mike Simmons became the first openly gender-
nonconforming State senator in the United States;
Whereas voters in the State of New Hampshire elected James Roesener as the first
openly transgender male State legislator in the United States;
Whereas 8 States have at least 1 transgender jurist on the bench;
Whereas Admiral Rachel L. Levine, M.D., was the first openly transgender Federal
official confirmed by the Senate and is the highest ranking openly
transgender Federal Government official in the history of the United
States;
Whereas more transgender individuals are appearing in movies, on television, and
in all forms of media, raising awareness of their experiences and the
importance of living authentically;
Whereas transgender individuals have created culture and history as artists,
musicians, organizers, and leaders; and
Whereas International Transgender Day of Visibility is a time to celebrate the
transgender community around the world: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Senate--
(1) supports the goals and ideals of International
Transgender Day of Visibility;
(2) encourages the people of the United States to observe
International Transgender Day of Visibility with appropriate
ceremonies, programs, and activities;
(3) celebrates the accomplishments and leadership of
transgender individuals; and
(4) recognizes the bravery of the transgender community as
it fights for equal dignity and respect.

Expressing the sense of the Senate that the United States should
negotiate strong, inclusive, and forward-looking rules on digital trade
and the digital economy with like-minded countries as part of its
broader trade and economic strategy in order to ensure that the United
States values of democracy, rule of law, freedom of speech, human and

_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
March 30, 2023
Mr. Young (for himself, Mr. Carper, Mr. Crapo, Mr. Wyden, Mr. Cardin,
and Mr. Cornyn) submitted the following resolution; which was referred
to the Committee on Finance
_______________________________________________________________________
RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the Senate that the United States should
negotiate strong, inclusive, and forward-looking rules on digital trade
and the digital economy with like-minded countries as part of its
broader trade and economic strategy in order to ensure that the United
States values of democracy, rule of law, freedom of speech, human and
worker rights, privacy, and a free and open internet are at the very
core of digital governance.
Whereas over half of the world's population, totaling more than 5,000,000,000
people, use the internet;
Whereas the digital economy encompasses the economic and social activity from
billions of online connections among people, businesses, devices, and
data as a result of the internet, mobile technology, and the internet of
things;
Whereas the Bureau of Economic Analysis found that the digital economy
contributed nearly 10.2 percent of United States gross domestic product
and supported 7,800,000 United States jobs in 2020;
Whereas the technology-commerce ecosystem added 1,400,000 jobs between 2017 and
2021, and served as the main job-creating sector in 40 States;
Whereas United States jobs supported by the digital economy have sustained
annual wage growth at a rate of 5.9 percent since 2010, as compared to a
4.2 percent for all jobs;
Whereas, in 2020, United States exports of digital services surpassed
$520,000,000,000, accounting for more than half of all United States
services exports and generating a digital services trade surplus for the
United States of $214,000,000,000;
Whereas digital trade bolsters the digital economy by enabling the sale of goods
on the internet and the supply of online services across borders and
depends on the free flow of data across borders to promote commerce,
manufacturing, and innovation;
Whereas digital trade has become increasingly vital to United States workers and
businesses of all sizes, including the countless small and medium-sized
enterprises that use digital technology, data flows, and e-commerce to
export goods and services across the world;
Whereas digital trade has advanced entrepreneurship opportunities for women,
people of color, and individuals from otherwise underrepresented
backgrounds and enabled the formation of innovative start-ups;
Whereas international supply chains are becoming increasingly digitized and data
driven and businesses in a variety of industries, such as construction,
healthcare, transportation, and aerospace, invested heavily in digital
supply chain technologies in 2020;
Whereas United States Trade Representative Katherine Tai said, ``[T]here is no
bright line separating digital trade from the digital economy--or the
`traditional' economy for that matter. Nearly every aspect of our
economy has been digitized to some degree.'';
Whereas industries outside of the technology sector, such as manufacturing and
agriculture, are integrating digital technology into their businesses in
order to increase efficiency, improve safety, reach new customers, and
remain globally competitive;
Whereas the increasing reliance on digital technologies has modernized legacy
processes, accelerated workflows, increased access to information and
services, and strengthened security in a variety of industries, leading
to better health, environmental, and safety outcomes;
Whereas the COVID-19 pandemic has led to increased uptake and reliance on
digital technologies, data flows, and e-commerce;
Whereas 90 percent of adults in the United States say that the internet has been
essential or important for them personally during the COVID-19 pandemic;
Whereas United States families, workers, and business owners have seen how vital
access to the internet has been to daily life, as work, education,
medicine, and communication with family and friends have shifted
increasingly online;
Whereas many individuals and families, especially in rural and Tribal
communities, struggle to participate in the digital economy because of a
lack of access to a reliable and affordable internet connection;
Whereas new developments in technology must be deployed with consideration to
the unique access challenges of rural, urban underserved, and vulnerable
communities;
Whereas digital trade has the power to help level the playing field and uplift
those in traditionally unrepresented or underrepresented communities;
Whereas countries have negotiated international rules governing digital trade in
various bilateral and plurilateral agreements, but those rules remain
fragmented, and no multilateral agreement on digital trade exists within
the World Trade Organization;
Whereas the United States, through free trade agreements or other digital
agreements, has been a leader in developing a set of rules and standards
on digital governance and e-commerce that has helped allies and partners
of the United States unlock the full economic and social potential of
digital trade;
Whereas Congress recognizes the need for agreements on digital trade, as
indicated by its support for a robust digital trade chapter in the
United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement;
Whereas other countries are operating under their own digital rules, some of
which are contrary to democratic values shared by the United States and
many allies and partners of the United States;
Whereas those countries are attempting to advance their own digital rules on a
global scale;
Whereas examples of the plethora of nontariff barriers to digital trade that
have emerged around the globe include--
(1) overly restrictive data localization requirements and limitations
on cross border data flows that do not achieve legitimate public policy
objectives;
(2) intellectual property rights infringement;
(3) policies that make market access contingent on forced technology
transfers or voluntary transfers subject to coercive terms;
(4) web filtering;
(5) economic espionage;
(6) cybercrime exposure; and
(7) government-directed theft of trade secrets;
Whereas certain countries are pursuing or have implemented digital policies that
unfairly discriminate against innovative United States technology
companies and United States workers that create and deliver digital
products and services;
Whereas the Government of the People's Republic of China is currently advancing
a model for digital governance and the digital economy domestically and
abroad through its Digital Silk Road Initiative that permits censorship,
surveillance, human and worker rights abuses, forced technology
transfers, and data flow restrictions at the expense of human and worker
rights, privacy, the free flow of data, and an open internet;
Whereas the 2020 Country Reports on Human Rights Practices of the Department of
State highlighted significant human rights issues committed by the
People's Republic of China in the digital realm, including ``arbitrary
interference with privacy; pervasive and intrusive technical
surveillance and monitoring; serious restrictions on free expression,
the press, and the internet, including physical attacks on and criminal
prosecution of journalists, lawyers, writers, bloggers, dissidents,
petitioners, and others as well as their family members, and censorship
and site blocking'';
Whereas the United States discourages digital authoritarianism, including
practices that undermine human and worker rights and result in other
social and economic coercion;
Whereas allies and trading partners of the United States in the Indo-Pacific
region have urged the United States to deepen economic engagement in the
region by negotiating rules on digital trade and technology standards;
Whereas the digital economy has provided new opportunities for economic
development, entrepreneurship, and growth in developing countries around
the world;
Whereas negotiating strong digital trade principles and commitments with allies
and partners across the globe enables the United States to unite like-
minded economies around common standards and ensure that principles of
democracy, rule of law, freedom of speech, human and worker rights,
privacy, and a free and open internet are at the very core of digital
governance;
Whereas United States leadership and substantive engagement is necessary to
ensure that global digital rules reflect United States values so that
workers are treated fairly, small businesses can compete and win in the
global economy, and consumers are guaranteed the right to privacy and
security;
Whereas the United States supports rules that reduce digital trade barriers,
promote free expression and the free flow of information, enhance
privacy protections, protect sensitive information, defend human and
worker rights, prohibit forced technology transfer, and promote
digitally enabled commerce; and
Whereas the United States supports efforts to cooperate with allies and trading
partners to mitigate the risks of cyberattacks, address potentially
illegal or deceptive business activities online, promote financial
inclusion and digital workforce skills, and develop rules to govern the
use of artificial intelligence and other emerging and future
technologies: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That it is the sense of the Senate that--
(1) the United States should negotiate strong, inclusive,
forward-looking, and enforceable rules on digital trade and the
digital economy with like-minded countries as part of a broader
trade and economic strategy to address digital barriers and
ensure that the United States values of democracy, rule of law,
freedom of speech, human and worker rights, privacy, and a free
and open internet are at the very core of the digital world and
advanced technology;
(2) in conducting such negotiations, the United States
must--
(A) pursue digital trade rules that--
(i) serve the best interests of workers,
consumers, and small and medium-sized
enterprises;
(ii) empower United States workers;
(iii) fuel wage growth; and
(iv) lead to materially positive economic
outcomes for all people in the United States;
(B) ensure that any future agreement prevents the
adoption of non-democratic, coercive, or overly
restrictive policies that would be obstacles to a free
and open internet and harm the ability of the e-
commerce marketplace to continue to grow and thrive;
(C) coordinate sufficient trade-related assistance
to ensure that developing countries can improve their
capacity and benefit from increased digital trade; and
(D) consult closely with all relevant stakeholders,
including workers, consumers, small and medium-sized
enterprises, civil society groups, and human rights
advocates; and
(3) with respect to any negotiations for an agreement
facilitating digital trade, the United States Trade
Representative and the heads of other relevant Federal agencies
must--
(A) consult closely and on a timely basis with the
Committee on Finance of the Senate and the Committee on
Ways and Means of the House of Representatives about
the substance of those negotiations and the requisite
legal authority to bind the United States to any such
agreement;
(B) keep both committees fully apprised of those
negotiations; and
(C) provide to those committees, including staff
with appropriate security clearances, adequate access
to the text of the negotiating proposal of the United
States before presenting the proposal in the
negotiations.

S. RES. 156
Calling on the Government of the Russian Federation to release United
States citizen Paul Whelan.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
March 30, 2023
Mr. Peters (for himself and Ms. Stabenow) submitted the following
resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations
_______________________________________________________________________
RESOLUTION
Calling on the Government of the Russian Federation to release United
States citizen Paul Whelan.
Whereas United States citizen Paul Whelan is a resident of Novi, Michigan, and a
veteran of the Marine Corps;
Whereas, on December 22, 2018, Paul Whelan traveled to Moscow, Russia, for the
wedding of a personal friend;
Whereas, on December 28, 2018, the Federal Security Service of the Russian
Federation arrested Paul Whelan at the Metropol Hotel in Moscow and
charged him with espionage;
Whereas the Federal Security Service has never provided any evidence of supposed
wrongdoing with respect to Paul Whelan;
Whereas Paul Whelan was imprisoned in Lefortovo Prison and was held in pretrial
detention at the prison for more than 19 months after his arrest;
Whereas a Moscow court extended Paul Whelan's pretrial detention multiple times
without publicly presenting justification or evidence of wrongdoing;
Whereas even Vladimir Zherebenkov, the lawyer appointed by the Federal Security
Service to represent Paul Whelan, said on May 24, 2019, ``[The Federal
Security Service] always roll[s] out what they have, but in this case,
we've seen nothing concrete against Whelan in five months. That means
there is nothing.'';
Whereas then-United States Ambassador to the Russian Federation, Jon Huntsman,
responded on April 12, 2019, to a question about the detention of Paul
Whelan, ``If the Russians have evidence, they should bring it forward.
We have seen nothing. If there was a case, I think the evidence would
have been brought forward by now.'';
Whereas then-Secretary of State Mike Pompeo met with Russian Foreign Minister
Sergey Lavrov on May 14, 2019, and urged him to ensure United States
citizens are not unjustly held abroad;
Whereas the Kremlin has refused to provide Paul Whelan with full access to his
lawyer, and the so-called evidence against Paul Whelan and any evidence
he has seen is in Russian, a language Whelan does not read or speak;
Whereas the Lefortovo pretrial detention facility and the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs refused to provide medical treatment for Paul Whelan's medical
condition, despite being aware of its worsening state, resulting in
emergency surgery on May 29, 2020;
Whereas Paul Whelan was wrongfully convicted on June 15, 2020, and sentenced to
16 years in a Russian labor camp by a three-judge panel, in a trial
witnessed by United States Ambassador John Sullivan, who referred to the
trial as ``a mockery of justice'' due to the denial of a fair trial and
the exclusion of defense witnesses;
Whereas, in August 2020, on an unknown day, Paul Whelan was secretly transferred
to camp IK-17, a penal labor camp in Mordovia, Russia, where he is
forced to work 6 days a week in a garment factory;
Whereas Ambassador John Sullivan, while visiting Paul Whelan at the labor camp
in Mordovia, stated that ``Russian authorities . . . have never shown
the world evidence of his guilt,'' and reiterated his call for the
Russian authorities to correct this injustice and release Paul Whelan;
Whereas Secretary of State Antony Blinken spoke with Russian Foreign Minister
Sergei Lavrov on February 4, 2021, and urged him to release United
States citizens detained in the Russian Federation, including Paul
Whelan and Trevor Reed, so that they are able to return home to their
families in the United States;
Whereas, on July 23, 2021, the Senate unanimously passed a bipartisan resolution
calling for the release of Whelan;
Whereas, in August 2021, Whelan was released from a month-long stay in a
solitary confinement at the IK-17 penal colony in the region of
Mordovia;
Whereas Secretary Blinken ``pressed'' the Kremlin to accept an offer by the
United States that would bring Paul Whelan and Brittney Griner home in
July 2022;
Whereas, in November 2022, Paul Whelan was unable to contact his family for more
than a week, during which time Russian authorities claimed Whelan had
been sent to the hospital;
Whereas Russian authorities refused to release Paul Whelan as part of the
prisoner exchange in December 2022;
Whereas Secretary of State Antony Blinken stated, ``His detention remains
unacceptable, and we continue to press for his immediate release at
every opportunity''; and
Whereas President Biden stated that his administration had ``not forgotten about
Paul Whelan,'' and promised to ``keep negotiating in good faith for his
release'': Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Senate--
(1) implores the Government of the Russian Federation to
immediately release Paul Whelan from imprisonment;
(2) implores the Government of the Russian Federation to
comply with international treaty obligations and provide
unrestricted consular access to Paul Whelan while he remains
imprisoned in the Russian Federation;
(3) calls on the Government of the Russian Federation to
provide Paul Whelan and all other political prisoners their
constitutionally afforded due process rights and universally
recognized human rights;
(4) expresses the sincere thanks of the United States to
the Governments of Canada, Ireland and the United Kingdom for
their support in attempting to release Paul Whelan; and
(5) expresses sympathy to the family of Paul Whelan for
this travesty to justice and personal hardship and expresses
hope that their ordeal can soon be brought to a just end.

1st Session
S. RES. 157
Commemorating the 25th anniversary of the signing of the Good Friday
Agreement, and for other purposes.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
March 30, 2023
Mr. Menendez (for himself, Ms. Collins, Mr. Murphy, Mrs. Shaheen, Mr.
Coons, Mr. Blumenthal, Mr. Kaine, Mr. Cardin, Mr. Welch, Mr. King, Mr.
Durbin, Mr. Markey, Ms. Duckworth, and Mr. Schumer) submitted the
following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Foreign
Relations
_______________________________________________________________________
RESOLUTION
Commemorating the 25th anniversary of the signing of the Good Friday
Agreement, and for other purposes.
Whereas, 25 years ago, on April 10, 1998, the Government of Ireland and the
Government of the United Kingdom signed the Good Friday Agreement, also
known as the ``Belfast Agreement'', giving birth to a new era of peace
in Northern Ireland;
Whereas former Senate Majority Leader George J. Mitchell, Jr., of Maine, was
appointed by President William J. Clinton to be United States Special
Envoy for Northern Ireland and chaired the peace negotiations, which
produced the Good Friday Agreement, marking the end of decades of
conflict in Northern Ireland;
Whereas the Good Friday Agreement stands as a historic and groundbreaking
success that remains critical to peace in the future;
Whereas the goals of the Good Friday Agreement remain to bring a new era of
devolved government and democracy to Northern Ireland, end violence, and
ensure enduring peace and stability for the people of the island of
Ireland;
Whereas a restored, fully functioning, Northern Ireland Assembly and Executive
are essential to the facilitation of new opportunities and prosperity
for the people of Northern Ireland;
Whereas Congress continues to support the full implementation of the Good Friday
Agreement and subsequent implementation agreements and arrangements in
order to support peace on the island of Ireland;
Whereas the new Windsor Framework, agreed in principle on February 27, 2023, by
the United Kingdom and the European Union, will help ensure trade within
the United Kingdom remains smooth, while protecting Northern Ireland's
place in the United Kingdom and safeguarding its sovereignty as well as
maintaining an open border on the island of Ireland and protecting the
integrity of the European Union's single market;
Whereas, despite the historic progress in implementing the Good Friday Agreement
and subsequent agreements, including the Stormont House Agreement agreed
to in December 2014, important issues remain unresolved in Northern
Ireland, including the passage of a bill of rights, securing justice for
all victims of violence, including violence by state and nonstate
actors, and reducing sectarian divisions and promoting reconciliation;
Whereas the Good Friday Agreement (``Rights, Safeguards and Equality of
Opportunity'') recognizes ``the importance of respect, understanding and
tolerance in relation to linguistic diversity,'' and, in 2022, the
United Kingdom Parliament passed the Identity and Language (Northern
Ireland) Act providing for the official recognition of the status of the
Irish language in Northern Ireland, and for the appointment of an Irish
Language Commissioner and a Commissioner for the Ulster Scots and the
Ulster British Tradition;
Whereas Congress played a prominent role in support of negotiations of the Good
Friday Agreement and has taken a leading role in promoting peace on the
island of Ireland more broadly;
Whereas Congress stands steadfastly committed to supporting the peaceful
resolution of any and all political challenges in Northern Ireland; and
Whereas the United States has a special relationship with the United Kingdom,
including partnership on diplomatic, security, trade, economic, and
foreign assistance issues: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Senate--
(1) commemorates the 25th anniversary of the signing of the
Good Friday Agreement on April 10, 1998, and celebrates the
historic compromise that marked the beginning of a new era of
peaceful political engagement in Northern Ireland;
(2) welcomes the Windsor Framework agreement between the
United Kingdom and the European Union, and urges all parties to
continue to support peace on the island of Ireland and the
principles, objectives, and commitments of the Good Friday
Agreement;
(3) urges all parties in Northern Ireland to recommit
urgently to power-sharing and restoration of a fully
functioning Northern Ireland Assembly and Executive;
(4) expresses support for the full implementation of the
Good Friday Agreement and subsequent agreements, including the
Windsor Framework;
(5) urges all parties in Northern Ireland to work
collectively to ensure the implementation of all commitments of
the Good Friday Agreement and subsequent agreements so that all
of the institutions of the Good Friday Agreement can operate
successfully and sustainably and that ongoing political
challenges can be overcome;
(6) urges the United Kingdom Parliament and the European
Union to support and implement in good faith the new Windsor
Framework in order to ensure trade continues to flow smoothly
within the United Kingdom and maintain an open border on the
island of Ireland, while protecting the European Union's single
market;
(7) supports the passage of a bill of rights for Northern
Ireland and the principle of consent in relation to the right
of self-determination for all the people on the island of
Ireland, in line with the provisions of the Good Friday
Agreement;
(8) calls for continuing attention and action to resolve
the injustices of past violence, including violence by state
and nonstate actors;
(9) observes that victims, survivors, and family members of
victims of Troubles-era violence must be able to fully pursue
justice;
(10) encourages renewed attention to educational and
cultural efforts that will ensure the rich language,
literature, and arts of Northern Ireland endure and are not
diminished, in line with the Good Friday Agreement commitments
on ``Rights, Safeguards and Equality of Opportunity'';
(11) expresses support for the new Windsor Framework, part
of the European Union-United Kingdom Withdrawal Agreement,
which ensures through international agreement that no ``hard
border'' will be reintroduced on the island of Ireland;
(12) greatly values the close relationships the United
States shares with both the United Kingdom and Ireland; and
(13) takes into account, as relevant, conditions requiring
that obligations under the Good Friday Agreement be met as the
United States seeks to negotiate a mutually advantageous and
comprehensive trade agreement between the United States and the
United Kingdom.

S. RES. 158
Condemning the deportation of children from Ukraine to the Russian
Federation and the forcible transfer of children within territories of
Ukraine that are temporarily occupied by Russian forces.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
April 17, 2023
Mr. Peters (for himself, Mrs. Blackburn, Mr. Cassidy, Mr. Grassley, Mr.
Barrasso, Mr. Cardin, Mrs. Shaheen, and Mr. Scott of Florida) submitted
the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on
Foreign Relations
_______________________________________________________________________
RESOLUTION
Condemning the deportation of children from Ukraine to the Russian
Federation and the forcible transfer of children within territories of
Ukraine that are temporarily occupied by Russian forces.
Whereas, on January 12, 1951, the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of
the Crime of Genocide (commonly known as the ``Genocide Convention''),
of which the Russian Federation is a signatory, came into effect;
Whereas, on February 24, 2022, the Russian Federation launched an illegal and
unprovoked further invasion of Ukraine;
Whereas, on March 22, 2022, the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry announced that the
Russian military had forcefully and illegally kidnapped 2,389 Ukrainian
children from temporarily occupied areas of Ukraine;
Whereas forcibly transferring children of one group to another group is a
violation of Article II(e) of the Convention on the Prevention and
Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, adopted and opened for signature in
1948 and entered into force in 1951 (commonly known as the ``Genocide
Convention'');
Whereas the unlawful deportation or transfer of people constitutes a breach of
Article 147 of the Convention (IV) relative to the Protection of
Civilian Persons in Time of War, done at Geneva August 12, 1949
(commonly referred to as the ``Fourth Geneva Convention'');
Whereas, Maria Lvova-Belova, Children's Rights Commissioner for the President of
Russia, admitted to kidnapping Ukrainian children and facilitating
forced adoptions to Russian families;
Whereas Ukrainian authorities have stated that a number of the kidnapped
Ukrainian children have families who remain in Ukraine, but have been
separated due to the Russian invasion;
Whereas, on May 30, 2022, the President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir
Putin, signed a decree simplifying the procedure of obtaining Russian
citizenship for Ukrainian orphans and children without parental care,
thereby expediting the process of illegal adoption of deported Ukrainian
children by Russian families;
Whereas, on June 2, 2022, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that
200,000 children are among the Ukrainians who have been forcefully
resettled in Russia;
Whereas, on June 16, 2022, Russian authorities announced that children born in
occupied Ukrainian territories after the February 24, 2022, invasion
will be deemed Russian citizens;
Whereas, on July 11, 2022, United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres
ordered an investigation into the deaths and injuries of Ukrainian
children;
Whereas, on July 13, 2022, Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken issued a
statement calling upon Russia to ``immediately halt its systemic
filtration operations in Ukraine'', which have caused the disappearance,
detention, or forcible deportation of between 900,000 and 1,600,000
Ukrainians (approximately 260,000 of whom are children);
Whereas, on December 5, 2022, Ukrainian Parliament Commissioner for Human
Rights, Dmytro Lubinets, announced that at least 2,800,000 Ukrainians
have been deported to Russia;
Whereas, on March 17, 2023, the International Criminal Court issued warrants of
arrest, relating to the war crimes described in subsections (a)(vii) and
(b)(viii) of section 2 of article 8 of the Rome Statute of the
International Criminal Court, for--
(1) Vladimir Putin, for--
G (A) the unlawful deportation of population (children); and
G (B) the unlawful transfer of population (children) from occupied
areas of Ukraine to the Russian Federation; and
(2) Maria Lvova-Belova, Presidential Commissioner for Children's Rights
in Russia, for--
G (A) the unlawful deportation of population (children); and
G (B) the unlawful transfer of population (children) from occupied
areas of Ukraine to the Russian Federation; and
Whereas, as of March 27, 2023, the official platform ``Children of War'', which
was created by the Ministry of Reintegration and the National
Information Bureau on behalf of the Office of the President of Ukraine
reported that--
(1) at least 465 Ukrainian children have been killed and 942 Ukrainian
children have been wounded since Russia's renewed invasion of Ukraine
began; and
(2) there has been 16,207 verified cases of Ukrainian children being
deported to Russia out of a possible 744,000 cases: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Senate--
(1) holds the Government of the Russian Federation, under
the leadership of Vladimir Putin, responsible for the wrongful
and illegal kidnapping of children from Ukraine and officially
condemns these actions in the strongest terms;
(2) declares that the facilitation of illegal adoptions is
contrary to Russia's obligations under the Genocide Convention
and amounts to genocide;
(3) claims that the Russian Federation is attempting to
wipe out a generation of Ukrainian children, thereby crippling
Ukraine's ability to nurture the next generation of Ukrainian
citizens and leaders and to rebuild their country after
Russia's unprovoked war, with the purpose of demolishing
Ukraine's unique language, culture, history, and identity; and
(4) asserts that the invasion of Ukraine by the Russian
Federation has significantly increased the risks of children
being exposed to human trafficking and exploitation, child
labor, gender-based violence, hunger, injury, trauma,
deprivation of education and shelter, and death.

and the importance of reducing maternal mortality and morbidity among

_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
April 18, 2023
Mr. Booker (for himself, Ms. Cortez Masto, Mr. Markey, Ms. Warren, Mr.
Padilla, Mr. Blumenthal, Mrs. Murray, Mr. Menendez, Ms. Duckworth, Ms.
Smith, Ms. Baldwin, Mr. Van Hollen, Mr. Durbin, Ms. Stabenow, Ms.
Rosen, Mr. Sanders, Mr. Brown, Mr. Merkley, and Ms. Klobuchar)
submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee
on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions
_______________________________________________________________________
RESOLUTION
Recognizing the designation of the week of April 11 through April 17,
2023, as the sixth annual ``Black Maternal Health Week'' to bring
national attention to the maternal health crisis in the United States
and the importance of reducing maternal mortality and morbidity among
Black women and birthing persons.
Whereas, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Black
women in the United States are 2.6 times more likely than White women to
die from pregnancy-related causes;
Whereas Black women in the United States suffer from life-threatening pregnancy
complications, known as ``maternal morbidities'', twice as often as
White women;
Whereas maternal mortality rates in the United States are--
(1) among the highest of any member country of the Organisation for
Economic Co-operation and Development; and
(2) increasing rapidly, from 17.4 deaths per 100,000 live births in
2018, to 32.1 deaths per 100,000 live births in 2021;
Whereas the United States has the highest maternal mortality rate among affluent
countries, in part because of the disproportionate mortality rate of
Black women;
Whereas the rate of preterm birth among Black women is nearly 50 percent higher
than the preterm birth rate among White or Hispanic women;
Whereas the high rates of maternal mortality among Black women span across--
(1) income levels;
(2) education levels; and
(3) socioeconomic status;
Whereas structural racism, gender oppression, and the social determinants of
health inequities experienced by Black women and birthing persons in the
United States significantly contribute to the disproportionately high
rates of maternal mortality and morbidity among Black women and birthing
persons;
Whereas racism and discrimination play a consequential role in maternal health
care experiences and outcomes of Black birthing persons;
Whereas a fair and wide distribution of resources and birth options, especially
with regard to reproductive health care services and maternal health
programming, is critical to closing the racial gap in maternal health
outcomes;
Whereas Black midwives, doulas, perinatal health workers, and community-based
organizations provide holistic maternal care, but face structural and
legal barriers to licensure, reimbursement, and provision of care;
Whereas COVID-19, which has disproportionately harmed Black people in the United
States, is associated with an increased risk of adverse pregnancy
outcomes and maternal and neonatal complications;
Whereas the COVID-19 pandemic has further highlighted issues within the broken
health care system in the United States and the harm of that system to
Black women and birthing persons;
Whereas data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has indicated
that Black women had the highest rate of maternal deaths related to
COVID-19 in 2020 and 2021, at 13.2 per 100,000 live births, while the
rate among White women was 4.5 per 100,000 live births;
Whereas, even as there is growing concern about improving access to mental
health services, Black women are least likely to have access to mental
health screenings, treatment, and support before, during, and after
pregnancy;
Whereas Black pregnant and postpartum workers are disproportionately denied
reasonable accommodations in the workplace, leading to adverse pregnancy
outcomes;
Whereas Black pregnant people disproportionately experience surveillance and
punishment, including shackling incarcerated people in labor, drug
testing mothers and infants without informed consent, separating mothers
from their newborns, and criminalizing pregnancy outcomes;
Whereas justice-informed, culturally congruent models of care are beneficial to
Black women; and
Whereas an investment must be made in--
(1) maternity care for Black women and birthing persons, including
support of care led by the communities most affected by the maternal health
crisis in the United States;
(2) continuous health insurance coverage to support Black women and
birthing persons for the full postpartum period up to at least 1 year after
giving birth; and
(3) policies that support and promote affordable, comprehensive, and
holistic maternal health care that is free from gender and racial
discrimination, regardless of incarceration: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Senate recognizes that--
(1) Black women are experiencing high, disproportionate
rates of maternal mortality and morbidity in the United States;
(2) the alarmingly high rates of maternal mortality among
Black women are unacceptable;
(3) in order to better mitigate the effects of systemic and
structural racism, Congress must work toward ensuring that the
Black community has--
(A) safe and affordable housing;
(B) transportation equity;
(C) nutritious food;
(D) clean air and water;
(E) environments free from toxins;
(F) fair treatment within the criminal justice
system;
(G) safety and freedom from violence;
(H) a living wage;
(I) equal economic opportunity;
(J) a sustained workforce pipeline for diverse
perinatal professionals; and
(K) comprehensive, high-quality, and affordable
health care with access to the full spectrum of
reproductive care;
(4) in order to improve maternal health outcomes, Congress
must fully support and encourage policies grounded in the human
rights, reproductive justice, and birth justice frameworks that
address Black maternal health inequity;
(5) Black women and birthing persons must be active
participants in the policy decisions that impact their lives;
(6) in order to ensure access to safe and respectful
maternal health care for Black birthing persons, Congress must
reintroduce and pass the Black Maternal Health Momnibus Act of
2021 (S. 346, H.R. 959, 117th Congress); and
(7) ``Black Maternal Health Week'' is an opportunity to--
(A) deepen the national conversation about Black
maternal health in the United States;
(B) amplify community-driven policy, research, and
care solutions;
(C) center the voices of Black mothers, women,
families, and stakeholders;
(D) provide a national platform for Black-led
entities and efforts on maternal health, birth, and
reproductive justice; and
(E) enhance community organizing on Black maternal
health.

S. RES. 16
Congratulating the University of Georgia Bulldogs football team for
winning the 2023 National Collegiate Athletic Association College
Football National Championship.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
January 26, 2023
Mr. Ossoff (for himself and Mr. Warnock) submitted the following
resolution; which was considered and agreed to
_______________________________________________________________________
RESOLUTION
Congratulating the University of Georgia Bulldogs football team for
winning the 2023 National Collegiate Athletic Association College
Football National Championship.
Whereas, on January 9, 2023, the University of Georgia posted an impressive,
undefeated record of 15-0 and won the 2023 National Collegiate Athletic
Association College Football National Championship, defeating the Texas
Christian University Horned Frogs by a score of 65-7 at SoFi Stadium in
Inglewood, California;
Whereas this victory marks the University of Georgia Bulldogs' second college
football national championship in 2 years, and fourth in program
history, making the Bulldogs the first team in the playoff era to repeat
national titles;
Whereas this historic victory follows a Southeastern Conference Championship and
a Peach Bowl playoff victory;
Whereas the 2022-2023 University of Georgia Bulldogs offense averaged an
impressive 494.9 yards and 39 points per game, with the defense allowing
only 304.6 yards and 14.8 points per game through 14 games, and the
Bulldogs allowed only 188 yards and 7 points, while posting 589 yards of
offense and 65 points in the championship game;
Whereas Kirby Smart posts his second national championship victory in his
seventh year as Head Coach of the University of Georgia Bulldogs
football team and his third appearance in the national championship
game; and
Whereas, with this remarkable season, Coach Smart extends his impressive record
to 72 wins and 15 losses in his 7 years as Head Coach of the University
of Georgia Bulldogs football team and cements his legacy in Georgia
football forever: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Senate--
(1) congratulates the University of Georgia Bulldogs
football team for an incredible season and for winning the 2023
National Collegiate Athletic Association College Football
National Championship;
(2) recognizes the achievements of all players, coaches,
and staff who made a championship possible; and
(3) respectfully requests that the Secretary of the Senate
transmit an enrolled copy of this resolution to--
(A) the President of the University of Georgia,
Jere Morehead;
(B) the Athletic Director of the University of
Georgia, Josh Brooks; and
(C) the Head Coach of the University of Georgia
Bulldogs football team, Kirby Smart.

S. RES. 160
Commending and congratulating the University of Connecticut men's
basketball team for winning the 2023 National Collegiate Athletic
Association Men's Basketball Championship.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
April 18, 2023
Mr. Blumenthal (for himself and Mr. Murphy) submitted the following
resolution; which was considered and agreed to
_______________________________________________________________________
RESOLUTION
Commending and congratulating the University of Connecticut men's
basketball team for winning the 2023 National Collegiate Athletic
Association Men's Basketball Championship.
Whereas, on Monday, April 3, 2023, the University of Connecticut's men's
basketball team (referred to in this preamble as the ``UConn Huskies'')
won the 2023 National Collegiate Athletic Association Men's Basketball
Championship with a 76-59 win over the San Diego State Aztecs at NRG
Stadium in Houston, Texas;
Whereas this is the UConn Huskies' fifth national championship, continuing the
team's undefeated streak in national championship games;
Whereas the UConn Huskies earned all 5 national titles since 1999, a feat that
no other college team has surpassed;
Whereas Adama Sanogo was named the Most Outstanding Player of the tournament,
averaging 19.7 points per game with 4 double-doubles; and
Whereas the UConn Huskies won every National Collegiate Athletic Association
tournament game by 13 points or more, becoming only the fifth team in
history to do so: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Senate--
(1) commends the University of Connecticut men's basketball
team for winning the 2023 National Collegiate Athletic
Association Men's Basketball Championship;
(2) congratulates the fans, students, and faculty of the
University of Connecticut; and
(3) respectfully requests that the Secretary of the Senate
transmit an enrolled copy of this resolution to--
(A) the President of the University of Connecticut,
Radenka Maric; and
(B) the Head Coach of the University of Connecticut
men's basketball team, Dan Hurley.

resolution; which was considered and agreed to
_______________________________________________________________________
RESOLUTION
Designating the week of April 22 through April 30, 2023, as ``National
Park Week''.
Whereas, on March 1, 1872, Congress established Yellowstone National Park as the
first national park for the enjoyment of the people of the United
States;
Whereas, on August 25, 1916, Congress established the National Park Service with
the mission to preserve unimpaired the natural and cultural resources
and values of the National Park System for the enjoyment, education, and
inspiration of current and future generations;
Whereas the National Park Service continues to protect and manage the majestic
landscapes, hallowed battlefields, and iconic cultural and historical
sites of the United States;
Whereas the units of the National Park System can be found in every State and
many territories of the United States and many of those units embody the
rich natural and cultural heritage of the United States, reflect a
unique national story through people and places, and offer countless
opportunities for recreation, volunteerism, cultural exchange,
education, civic engagement, and exploration;
Whereas, in 2022, the national parks of the United States attracted nearly
312,000,000 recreational visits, an increase of 5 percent over 2021
visitation levels;
Whereas visits and visitors to the national parks of the United States are
important economic drivers, responsible for contributing $42,500,000,000
in spending to the national economy in 2021;
Whereas the dedicated employees of the National Park Service carry out their
mission to protect the units of the National Park System so that the
vibrant culture, diverse wildlife, and priceless resources of these
unique places will endure for perpetuity; and
Whereas the people of the United States have inherited the remarkable legacy of
the National Park System and are entrusted with the preservation of the
National Park System throughout its second century: Now, therefore, be
it
Resolved, That the Senate--
(1) designates the week of April 22 through April 30, 2023,
as ``National Park Week''; and
(2) encourages the people of the United States and the
world to responsibly visit, experience, recreate in, and
support the treasured national parks of the United States.

S. RES. 163
Supporting the goals and ideals of National Public Safety
Telecommunicators Week.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
April 18, 2023
Ms. Klobuchar (for herself and Mr. Tuberville) submitted the following
resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Homeland Security
and Governmental Affairs
_______________________________________________________________________
RESOLUTION
Supporting the goals and ideals of National Public Safety
Telecommunicators Week.
Whereas public safety telecommunications professionals play a critical role in
emergency response;
Whereas the work that public safety telecommunications professionals perform
goes far beyond simply relaying information between the public and first
responders;
Whereas, when responding to reports of missing, abducted, and sexually exploited
children, the information obtained and actions taken by public safety
telecommunications professionals form the foundation for an effective
response;
Whereas, when a hostage taker or suicidal individual calls 911, the first
contact that individual has is with a public safety telecommunications
professional, whose negotiation skills can prevent the situation from
worsening;
Whereas, during crises, public safety telecommunications professionals, while
collecting vital information to provide situational awareness for
responding officers--
(1) coach callers through first aid techniques; and
(2) give advice to those callers to prevent further harm;
Whereas the work done by individuals who serve as public safety
telecommunications professionals has an extreme emotional and physical
toll on those individuals, which is compounded by long hours and the
around-the-clock nature of the job;
Whereas public safety telecommunications professionals should be recognized by
all levels of government for the lifesaving and protective nature of
their work;
Whereas major emergencies, including natural disasters and the coronavirus
disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, highlight the dedication of public
safety telecommunications professionals and their important work in
protecting the public and police, fire, and emergency medical officials;
and
Whereas public safety telecommunications professionals are often called as
witnesses to provide important testimony in criminal trials: Now,
therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Senate--
(1) supports the goals and ideals of National Public Safety
Telecommunicators Week;
(2) honors and recognizes the important and lifesaving
contributions of public safety telecommunications professionals
in the United States; and
(3) encourages the people of the United States to remember
the value of the work performed by public safety
telecommunications professionals.

1st Session
S. RES. 164
Honoring the Heritage Foundation on the occasion of its 50th
anniversary.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
April 19, 2023
Mr. Lee submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the
Committee on the Judiciary
_______________________________________________________________________
RESOLUTION
Honoring the Heritage Foundation on the occasion of its 50th
anniversary.
Whereas, in 1972, the Heritage Foundation was conceived by Dr. Edwin J. Feulner
and Paul Weyrich to deliver timely and persuasive research to Congress
with facts, data, and sound arguments on behalf of conservative
principles;
Whereas, on February 16, 1973, the Heritage Foundation opened its doors with the
support of the Coors, Noble, and Scaife families and grew to become the
most influential and most broadly supported conservative think tank in
the United States;
Whereas the Heritage Foundation has played a critical role in many great
legislative successes in the United States over the past 5 decades;
Whereas the Heritage Foundation published the 1,093-page ``Mandate for
Leadership'' in 1981, which served as a ``policy bible'' for President
Ronald Reagan, including the 1981 tax cuts that ignited the biggest
economic boom in United States history;
Whereas, in 1982, the Heritage Foundation published the first comprehensive
study outlining a missile defense system to defend the United States
from nuclear missile attack, and 6 months later, President Ronald Reagan
made his historic speech calling for a strategic defense initiative to
protect the United States;
Whereas, in 1988, the Heritage Foundation authored its first candidate briefing
book, which has become an essential tool to help frame policy debates;
Whereas, in 1995, the Heritage Foundation hosted its first ``New Member
Conference'' to educate freshmen members of Congress, a program that
takes place every 2 years before the new Congress takes office;
Whereas research by the Heritage Foundation formed the basis of welfare reform
in the 1990s that would result in more than 5,000,000 people in the
United States leaving welfare and finding work, and reducing African-
American child poverty to historic lows;
Whereas the Heritage Foundation created the Meese Center for Legal and Judicial
Studies, headed by former Attorney General Ed Meese, to create greater
appreciation for the role of the Constitution of the United States, and,
in 2005, published ``The Heritage Guide to the Constitution'', which was
the first examination of each and every line of the Constitution of the
United States since the definitive study of Joseph Story in the mid-19th
century;
Whereas the Heritage Foundation has promoted an originalist judicial philosophy,
and trained and supported lawyers and judges with an originalist
approach to the Constitution of the United States;
Whereas the Heritage Foundation established the Kathryn and Shelby Cullom Davis
Institute for National Security and Foreign Policy to provide expert
research and analysis of issues dealing with foreign policy,
international relations, global economics, and national security;
Whereas the Heritage Foundation has published such influential indexes as--
(1) the Index of United States Military Strength;
(2) the Index of Economic Freedom;
(3) the Election Integrity Scorecard; and
(4) the Education Freedom Report Card;
Whereas the Heritage Foundation has consistently fought to defend the dignity of
every human life, for marriage, the family (the foundation of society),
and religious liberty;
Whereas the Heritage Foundation works tirelessly to grow and serve the
conservative movement through programs like the Young Leaders Program
and the Resource Bank, created in 1977 to forge a national network of
conservative policy groups and experts and, most recently, the
Innovation Prize;
Whereas the Heritage Foundation supports conservative organizations across the
country and works to set the agenda and advance conservative policies
through its 2025 Presidential Transition Project;
Whereas the Heritage Foundation launched its own news site, the Daily Signal,
and has constantly expanded its reach on social media to convey
conservative views to the widest possible audience;
Whereas the Heritage Foundation launched its sister organization, Heritage
Action for America, to turn the conservative policy proposals of the
Heritage Foundation into reality on Capitol Hill and build a grassroots
community of over 20,000 sentinels and 2,000,000 activists that hold
elected representatives accountable to the founding principles of the
United States;
Whereas the Board of Trustees of the Heritage Foundation has provided sound
guidance since the establishment of the Heritage Foundation and
strengthened strategic planning within the organization;
Whereas Barb Van Andel-Gaby, the chairman of the Board, has continued the legacy
of service in her family with grace and distinction and has been a
trusted advisor to the leadership of the Heritage Foundation; and
Whereas for 50 years, the Heritage Foundation has worked tirelessly to build a
United States where freedom, opportunity, prosperity, and civil society
flourish, knowing the people of the United States are best served by a
government that understands, honors, and respects virtuous self-
governance: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Senate--
(1) honors the Heritage Foundation on the occasion of its
50th anniversary; and
(2) expresses profound gratitude for the unfailing service
of the Heritage Foundation to the United States.

S. RES. 165
Recognizing the work of Federal law enforcement agencies, condemning
calls to ``defund'' the Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of
Investigation, and rejecting partisan attempts to degrade public trust
in law enforcement agencies.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
April 20, 2023
Mr. Schumer submitted the following resolution; which was referred to
the Committee on the Judiciary
_______________________________________________________________________
RESOLUTION
Recognizing the work of Federal law enforcement agencies, condemning
calls to ``defund'' the Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of
Investigation, and rejecting partisan attempts to degrade public trust
in law enforcement agencies.
Whereas, on April 5, 2023, former President Donald J. Trump (referred to in this
preamble as the ``former President'') called for Congress to defund the
Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation;
Whereas congressional allies of the former President have agreed that Congress
should limit funding for the Department of Justice and the Federal
Bureau of Investigation;
Whereas this baseless broadside against Federal law enforcement agencies is just
the latest subjugation of law and justice to the parochial legal and
political goals of the former President and his allies;
Whereas the United States is a nation of laws, bound together by the simple
principle that no person is above those laws, not even a former
president;
Whereas Federal law enforcement agencies, led by the Department of Justice and
the Federal Bureau of Investigation, work tirelessly every day to
promote the general welfare and pursue justice in the United States;
Whereas the Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation work
every day to investigate and prosecute offenses involving sex
trafficking, child pornography, terrorism, violent crime, money
laundering, cybercrime, fraud, and much more;
Whereas Congress must reject calls to compromise the safety, livelihood, and
well-being of individuals in the United States in an effort to shield
select political leaders from accountability;
Whereas a failure to reject partisan efforts to ``defund'' Federal law
enforcement agencies will endanger individuals in the United States;
Whereas, in fiscal year 2022, the Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau
of Investigation--
(1) investigated and prosecuted 490 defendants for terrorism and
secured the convictions of 280 defendants;
(2) investigated and prosecuted 19,107 defendants for violent crime and
secured the convictions of 17,924 defendants;
(3) investigated and prosecuted 1,164 defendants for money laundering
and secured the convictions of 1,350 defendants; and
(4) investigated and prosecuted 680 defendants for healthcare fraud and
secured the convictions of 477 defendants;
Whereas, in fiscal year 2022, the Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau
of Investigation returned $476,677,364 in assets to victims; and
Whereas law-abiding individuals across the United States depend on the good work
of the Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation to
promote public safety and the general welfare: Now therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Senate--
(1) recognizes and appreciates the dedication and devotion
demonstrated by the men and women of Federal law enforcement
agencies who keep the communities of the United States and the
United States safe;
(2) condemns calls to ``defund'' the Department of Justice
and Federal Bureau of Investigation; and
(3) rejects partisan attempts by former President Donald J.
Trump and his allies to degrade public trust in Federal law
enforcement agencies for attempted political or legal benefit.

Mr. Tillis, Mr. Young, Mr. Kennedy, Mr. Johnson, and Mr. Scott of

_______________________________________________________________________
RESOLUTION
Honoring the efforts of the Coast Guard for excellence in maritime
border security.
Whereas, since 1790, the Coast Guard has safeguarded the people of the United
States and promoted national security, border security, and economic
prosperity in a complex and evolving maritime environment;
Whereas the over 50,000 members of the Coast Guard--
(1) operate a multi-mission, interoperable fleet of 259 cutters, 200
fixed and rotary-wing aircraft, and over 1,600 boats;
(2) operate 9 Coast Guard Districts and 37 sectors located at strategic
ports throughout the country;
(3) exercise operational control of surface and air assets vested in 2
Coast Guard geographical Areas, the Pacific and the Atlantic; and
(4) provide maritime safety and security along more than 95,000 miles
of coastline of the United States, Great Lakes, inland waterways, 4,500,000
square miles of exclusive economic zone of the United States, and on the
high seas;
Whereas, in fiscal year 2022, through protection of the maritime borders of the
United States, the Coast Guard--
(1) interdicted over 330,000 pounds of cocaine, over 60,000 pounds of
marijuana, and over 15,000 pounds of other narcotics;
(2) conducted over 6,300 boardings of United States fishing vessels and
interdicted approximately 100 foreign fishing incursions; and
(3) interdicted approximately 12,500 illegal immigrants, an increase of
150 percent from 2021; and
Whereas, through selfless and dedicated service, the Coast Guard and Coast
Guardsmen have remained ``Always Ready'' to promote the highest level of
maritime border security, ensuring the United States and the people of
the United States are safeguarded from complex and evolving maritime
threats: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Senate--
(1) is grateful to the men and women who proudly serve in
the Coast Guard to protect the people of the United States by
ensuring the highest level of maritime border security; and
(2) congratulates the Coast Guard on exemplary service and
dedication to the United States.

S. RES. 167
Recognizing the 30th anniversary of the United States Holocaust
Memorial Museum.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
April 20, 2023
Mr. Cardin (for himself, Mr. Rubio, Ms. Rosen, and Mr. Scott of South
Carolina) submitted the following resolution; which was considered and
agreed to
_______________________________________________________________________
RESOLUTION
Recognizing the 30th anniversary of the United States Holocaust
Memorial Museum.
Whereas, on April 26, 1993, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum
(referred to in this preamble as the ``Museum'') opened to the public as
a permanent living memorial museum to the victims of the Holocaust,
following dedication ceremonies days earlier with the President of the
United States, the President of the State of Israel, the Chairman of the
Holocaust Memorial Council Harvey Meyerhoff, and 1986 Nobel Peace Prize
winner and Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel;
Whereas, for 3 decades, the Museum has been teaching both the history of the
Holocaust and the lessons learned from the Holocaust, including lessons
about the fragility of democracy, the power of propaganda, and the
dangers of hatred, antisemitism, and inaction, to members of the public,
especially youth, from all walks of life, including members of
underserved communities;
Whereas the aim of the Museum's educational work is to promote self-reflection
and critical thinking about the roles and responsibilities of
individuals in the world today and catalyze actions to confront hatred,
prevent genocide, and promote human dignity;
Whereas, during its first 30 years, the Museum has welcomed over 47,000,000
visitors, including millions of schoolchildren and more than 100 heads
of state;
Whereas the Museum has enabled hundreds of Holocaust survivors to share their
experiences with tens of thousands of students and the public at the
Museum, online, and across the country;
Whereas the Museum has conducted its educational outreach in multiple ways,
having--
(1) built the world's most comprehensive collection of Holocaust
documentation and a state-of-the-art facility to preserve that collection
and make it digitally accessible;
(2) launched the world's leading online authority on the Holocaust, the
20-language Holocaust Encyclopedia, which served 25,000,000 visitors in
2022;
(3) built a robust social media presence that has raised awareness of
the Holocaust and related antisemitism and that in 2022 had 2,300,000
followers, 306,000,000 views, and over 56,000,000 engagements;
(4) created Experiencing History, the primary resource on the Holocaust
for college and university instructors and their students across multiple
disciplines on campuses nationwide;
(5) created foundational guidelines for teaching about the Holocaust
and served thousands of teachers nationwide with professional development
trainings and classroom resources that emphasize the pivotal role of
antisemitism in creating the environment that led to the Holocaust;
(6) traveled exhibitions throughout the country on topics such as the
``1936 Berlin Olympics'', ``Nazi racial science'', ``Nazi propaganda'', and
``Americans and the Holocaust'';
(7) sponsored programs for thousands of law enforcement agents,
military personnel, and members of the judiciary to examine the roles of
their counterparts during the Holocaust and reflect on their own roles
today in preserving democracy;
(8) supported development of the vital field of Holocaust studies,
including the research and teachings of hundreds of scholars in the United
States and abroad, and foundational publications like the ``The
Encyclopedia of Camps and Ghettos, 1933-1945''; and
(9) opened the International Tracing Service Archives, which enables
the Museum to provide thousands of survivors and their families with
historic documentation pertaining to their individual wartime experiences;
Whereas the Museum has become a well-respected international resource, having--
(1) worked with European Union officials and European governments in
Eastern and Western Europe to advance policies and institutions devoted to
preserving the memory and relevance of the Holocaust in perpetuity;
(2) raised awareness of the Holocaust in parts of the Middle East and
held the first Holocaust remembrance ceremonies in the United Arab Emirates
and Egypt; and
(3) helped establish the field of genocide prevention, becoming a
resource for policymakers and raising public awareness of populations
currently threatened by genocide and mass atrocities, such as the Uyghurs,
Rohingya, and Yezidis;
Whereas, more than 75 years after the Holocaust, antisemitism continues to be
expressed publicly around the world through the proliferation of hate
speech, disinformation, and conspiracy theories that lead to hate crimes
and violence, both in the United States and abroad;
Whereas, in 2022, the United Nations General Assembly adopted, by consensus, a
resolution that condemns Holocaust denial and encourages the development
of programs meant to educate future generations on the horrors of the
Holocaust and antisemitism;
Whereas, on June 14, 2021, the Senate unanimously adopted a resolution
unequivocally condemning the recent rise in antisemitic violence and
harassment targeting Jewish individuals in the United States and
standing in solidarity with those affected by antisemitism; and
Whereas the Museum aims to be a global leader in bringing awareness of the
Holocaust to audiences worldwide, promoting the relevance of the
Holocaust for new generations, building the field of Holocaust education
in the United States, and protecting the truth of the Holocaust: Now,
therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Senate--
(1) congratulates all those who were responsible for the
creation of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and all
those who have turned that vision into a living and growing
memorial and educational resource accessible to the people of
the United States and the world;
(2) condemns antisemitism as a particularly pernicious form
of hate and racial and religious bigotry and calls on the
United States Holocaust Memorial Museum to continue its
critical work, in-person and online, educating the public about
the dangers of antisemitism and the origins of the Holocaust;
(3) encourages leaders and all individuals in the United
States and around the world to utilize the resources available
from the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and speak out
against manifestations of antisemitism, bigotry, and hatred
against Jewish individuals and communities, including growing
online antisemitic harassment, abuse, Holocaust denial, and
conspiracy theories;
(4) supports and encourages educational and community-based
programs that counter antisemitism and hate, as well as those
that advance educational programs about the Holocaust and
provide support for Holocaust survivors;
(5) commits to continue to raise awareness and act to
eradicate the continuing scourge of antisemitism in the United
States and abroad;
(6) designates April 26, 2023, as ``United States Holocaust
Memorial Museum Day''; and
(7) respectfully requests that the Secretary of the Senate
transmit an enrolled copy of this resolution to the chair of
the United States Holocaust Museum Memorial Council and a copy
to the director of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.

S. RES. 168
Commemorating the 62nd anniversary of the Bay of Pigs operation and
remembering the members of Brigada de Asalto 2506 (Assault Brigade
2506).
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
April 20, 2023
Mr. Rubio (for himself, Mr. Cruz, and Mr. Scott of Florida) submitted
the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on
Foreign Relations
_______________________________________________________________________
RESOLUTION
Commemorating the 62nd anniversary of the Bay of Pigs operation and
remembering the members of Brigada de Asalto 2506 (Assault Brigade
2506).
Whereas April 17, 2023, marks the 62nd anniversary of the first day of the Bay
of Pigs operation, an event held dear in the hearts of many who long for
the return of freedom, democracy, and justice to Cuba;
Whereas the Communist dictatorship in Cuba that resulted from the January 1,
1959, revolution in Cuba has systematically denied the Cuban people
their most basic human rights and fundamental freedoms;
Whereas, from 1959 until his death in 2016, dictator Fidel Castro, who promised
to implement a revolution against tyranny, systematically violated the
human rights of the Cuban people, curtailed freedom of the press,
arbitrarily imprisoned and killed an untold number of members of the
political opposition in Cuba, and confiscated the properties of citizens
of Cuba and the United States;
Whereas Fidel Castro's dictatorship supported terrorism by providing safe haven
and logistics to terrorist groups and fugitives throughout the world;
Whereas the men and women participating in the Bay of Pigs operation assumed the
title of Brigada de Asalto 2506 (Assault Brigade 2506), which was named
after the serial number (2506) of Carlos Rodriguez Santana, a founding
member of the brigade who died during training exercises in September
1960;
Whereas Assault Brigade 2506 consisted of individuals, primarily Cuban exiles in
the United States, from diverse backgrounds, including doctors, nurses,
engineers, architects, priests, cooks, musicians, actors, business
owners, barbers, bankers, construction workers, office clerks, students,
pilots, and many other individuals representing different sectors in
Cuba;
Whereas, on April 17, 1961, approximately 1,400 individuals selflessly
volunteered to free the Cuban people from tyranny;
Whereas, in the ensuing days, and in the course of a battle against the Cuban
military, which was superior in manpower and firepower, more than 100
men lost their lives;
Whereas the events of April 17 through April 20, 1961, ended with the capture
and imprisonment of 1,204 members or more than 75 percent of Assault
Brigade 2506;
Whereas a large number of the 1,204 captured members of Assault Brigade 2506
were imprisoned in deplorable conditions for close to 18 months,
subjected to harsh and inhumane treatment, and later sentenced without
due process to 30 years of imprisonment;
Whereas, in September 1961, the Cuban regime executed 5 members of Assault
Brigade 2506 who had been captured during the operation;
Whereas 67 members of Assault Brigade 2506 died in combat, including 4 American
pilots and 10 Cuban pilots and navigators, 10 members died while trying
to flee Cuba on a fishing boat that drifted in the Gulf of Mexico for
almost 15 days, 10 members died while being transported to prison by
their Cuban captors inside a sealed truck with limited oxygen, 9 members
were executed by firing squads, and 3 members died while in prison due
to lack of medical attention;
Whereas one of the most heinous acts relating to the operation was ordered by
then Captain Osmany Cienfuegos, who forced nearly 100 male prisoners
into a closed trailer in which they were transported for 8 hours with
limited oxygen;
Whereas the Cuban regime is a party to the Geneva Conventions of 1949, which
require the humane treatment of prisoners of war;
Whereas, in March 1962, as the trial of the captured fighters approached, the
President of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC)
appealed to Cuban dictator Fidel Castro, asking that the provisions of
Article 3 of the Geneva Convention relative to the Treatment of
Prisoners of War, done at Geneva August 12, 1949, be fully applied, and
for permission to visit the prisoners, but all the requests went
unanswered;
Whereas the 1,113 members of Assault Brigade 2506 who finally returned to the
United States after the operation have made significant and valuable
contributions to the United States, while never forgetting their beloved
homeland;
Whereas, on December 29, 1962, President John Fitzgerald Kennedy was presented
with the banner of Assault Brigade 2506 that had reached the shores of
Cuba during the operation, and the President pledged, ``I can assure you
that this flag will be returned to this brigade in a free Havana.'';
Whereas, on April 24, 1986, a joint resolution (Public Law 99-279; 100 Stat.
398) was approved ``Commemorating the twenty-fifth anniversary of the
Bay of Pigs invasion to liberate Cuba from Communist tyranny.'';
Whereas Cuba's authoritarian regime continues to arbitrarily detain thousands of
critics, activists, and opponents and continues to deny the people of
Cuba the ability to vote in free, fair, multiparty elections with
independent and opposition candidates;
Whereas Cuba's authoritarian regime has actively fostered and supported anti-
democratic parties and actors throughout the Western Hemisphere,
including the regimes of Nicaragua and Venezuela;
Whereas Cuba is designated as a state sponsor of terrorism by the Department of
State; and
Whereas the Cuban people continue to struggle and demand respect for democratic
values, civil liberties, freedom, and justice: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Senate--
(1) remembers all the veterans of Brigada de Asalto 2506
(Assault Brigade 2506), both living and deceased;
(2) honors the courageous veterans of Assault Brigade 2506
who fought for freedom, including those who suffered torture or
perished in the struggle for a democratic Cuba;
(3) calls on the Government of the United States to
continue to support policies that promote the respect for
democratic principles, civil liberties, freedom, and justice in
Cuba, in a manner consistent with the aspirations of the Cuban
people;
(4) recognizes that individual members of Assault Brigade
2506 later joined the United States Armed Forces and fought in
the Vietnam war;
(5) calls for the international community to support and
express solidarity with the Cuban people in their demands for
freedom against the Communist regime; and
(6) recognizes that many veterans of the Bay of Pigs
operation settled across the United States to become productive
members of the society of the United States, including public
officials and industry leaders.

S. RES. 169
Expressing the sense of the Senate that Secretary of Homeland Security
Alejandro Nicholas Mayorkas does not have the confidence of the Senate
or of the American people to faithfully carry out the duties of his
office.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
April 20, 2023
Mr. Marshall (for himself, Mr. Braun, Mr. Crapo, Mr. Cruz, Mr. Hawley,
Mr. Risch, Mr. Scott of Florida, Mr. Schmitt, Mr. Johnson, Ms. Lummis,
Mr. Lee, Mr. Rubio, Mr. Vance, Mrs. Blackburn, and Mr. Budd) submitted
the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on
Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs
_______________________________________________________________________
RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the Senate that Secretary of Homeland Security
Alejandro Nicholas Mayorkas does not have the confidence of the Senate
or of the American people to faithfully carry out the duties of his
office.
Whereas, while serving as Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro Nicholas
Mayorkas, in violation of his constitutional oath, has engaged in a
pattern of conduct that is incompatible with his constitutional and
statutory duties as Secretary of Homeland Security, including by--
(1) failing to ``take all actions the Secretary determines necessary
and appropriate to achieve and maintain operational control over the entire
international land and maritime borders of the United States'', as required
under section 2(a) of the Secure Fence Act of 2006 (8 U.S.C. 1701 note),
which includes ``the prevention of all unlawful entries into the United
States, including entries by terrorists, other unlawful aliens, instruments
of terrorism, narcotics, and other contraband'', as evidenced by--
G (A) more than 5,500,000 illegal aliens crossing the United States
southern border during Secretary Mayorkas' term in office, including aliens
encountered by U.S. Customs and Border Protection and known got-aways, and
20 consecutive months with more than 150,000 illegal border crossings;
G (B) the apprehension of 98 individuals that match records within
the Terrorist Screening Database at the southern border during fiscal year
2022, which is more such apprehensions than occurred during the previous 5
years combined, and the apprehension of 80 such individuals during fiscal
year 2023 to date, which may lead to a higher rate of apprehensions of such
individuals during fiscal year 2023 than took place during fiscal year
2022; and
G (C) the failure of the Department of Homeland Security, under the
leadership of Secretary Mayorkas, to comply with provisions of the
Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1101 et seq.), which require the
detention of inadmissible aliens arriving in the United States or aliens
who are physically present in the United States without inspection until
processed, and the implementation by Secretary Mayorkas of unlawful and
misguided catch-and-release directives, such as the Notice to Report
process and the parole plus Alternatives to Detention process, which have
resulted in the reckless release of more than 1,000,000 illegal aliens into
the interior of the United States; and
(2) gravely endangering the national security of the United States,
undermining the operational control of our southern border, and encouraging
illegal immigration by--
G (A) terminating contracts for additional border wall construction
for which Congress appropriated funding; and
G (B) issuing memoranda rescinding the Migrant Protection Protocols
(commonly known as ``Remain in Mexico''), which was an indispensable tool
to address the border crisis and restore integrity to the immigration
system;
Whereas Secretary Mayorkas, in the memorandum announcing the termination of the
Migrant Protection Protocols program (MPP) on June 1, 2021,
acknowledged, ``some removal proceedings conducted pursuant to MPP were
completed more expeditiously than is typical for non-detained cases'';
Whereas Federal authorities seized more than 14,000 pounds of illicit fentanyl
along the southwest border during fiscal year 2022 and 13,800 pounds of
illicit fentanyl during fiscal year 2023 to date, which is evidence of
increased efforts by transnational criminal organizations to traffic
dangerous substances into the United States;
Whereas, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than
107,000 Americans died of drug overdoses in 2021, which exceeds the
number of such deaths in any previous year, and \2/3\ of such deaths
were caused by synthetic opioids (primarily fentanyl);
Whereas, under the leadership of Secretary Mayorkas, the Department of Homeland
Security formally opposed efforts to keep in place the order of
suspension issued by the Director of the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention under section 362 of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C.
265) as a result of the public health emergency relating to the COVID-19
pandemic (commonly known as the ``title 42 order'') in order to prevent
a crisis on the southern border;
Whereas with the termination of the title 42 order, the Department of Homeland
Security is planning to reroute asylum and parole applicants through the
CBP One mobile application and formal parole programs in order to
obscure border encounter numbers;
Whereas on multiple occasions while serving as Secretary of Homeland Security,
Alejandro Nicholas Mayorkas, in violation of his constitutional oath,
has willfully provided perjurious, or false and misleading testimony to
Congress, including--
(1) on April 28, 2022, during a hearing of the Committee on the
Judiciary of the House of Representatives, by responding to Congressman
Chip Roy's question, ``Will you testify under oath that we have operational
control of the border?'', with ``Yes we do'', despite the fact that, the
term ``operational control'' has been defined in law as ``the prevention of
all unlawful entries into the United States, including entries by
terrorists, other unlawful aliens, instruments of terrorism, narcotics, and
other contraband''; and
(2) on November 15, 2022, during a hearing of the Committee on Homeland
Security of the House of Representatives, by responding to Congressman Dan
Bishop's question, ``Do you continue to maintain that the border is
secure?'', with ``Yes, and we are working day in and day out to enhance
security, Congressman.'';
Whereas section 1621 of title 18, United States Code, clearly states that anyone
under oath who ``willfully and contrary to such oath states or
subscribes any material matter which he does not believe to be true'' is
guilty of perjury and shall be fined or imprisoned not more than 5
years, or both;
Whereas the record-breaking number of illegal alien encounters, including more
1,000,000 known ``got-aways'', and the record seizures of deadly
fentanyl and other contraband, confirm that Secretary Mayorkas has not
taken all actions necessary to ensure operational control of the
southern border, as required by law;
Whereas U.S. Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz, in a field hearing before the
Committee on Homeland Security of the House of Representatives, stated
that U.S. Border Patrol does not have operational control of the border,
which directly contradicts Secretary Mayorkas' April 2022 testimony to
the Committee on the Judiciary of the House of Representatives;
Whereas, in September 2021, while Alejandro Nicholas Mayorkas was serving as
Secretary of Homeland Security--
(1) approximately 15,000 Haitian migrants crossed the border from
Mexico into the United States and were concentrated in an encampment
underneath the international bridge between Mexico and the Del Rio, Texas,
Port of Entry and in surrounding areas;
(2) mounted Border Patrol agents and troopers with the Texas Department
of Public Safety dispersed a large group of migrants gathered near a boat
ramp located in the United States along the Rio Grande River, approximately
500 yards east of the Del Rio Port of Entry and then attempted to stop the
flow of all migrants illegally crossing the Rio Grande River into the
United States at that location;
(3) within hours of the incident described in paragraph (2)--
G (A) images and video surfaced on social media that showed multiple
Border Patrol agents on horseback using their horses to keep several
illegal immigrants from entering the United States after crossing the Rio
Grande in Del Rio, Texas;
G (B) extremist liberal activists rushed to judgement and falsely
accused the agents of whipping the illegal immigrants with their horse
reins, in spite of a statement by the photographer that the pictures were
misconstrued as showing abusive behavior; and
G (C) some activists made the disgusting false equivalency to
slavery; and
(4) Secretary Mayorkas, after Assistant Secretary of Homeland Security
for Public Affairs Marsha Espinosa emailed to him a news article explaining
that the photographer who took the images did not see the agents whipping
anyone--
G (A) misled the general public by publicly supporting the Biden
administration's false narrative that Border Patrol agents whipped Haitian
migrants; and
G (B) participated in a White House press conference during which he
publicly and falsely slandered the Border Patrol agents referred to in
paragraph (2), calling the images ``horrifying'' and an example of
``systemic racism'';
Whereas a 511-page report by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection's Office of
Personal Responsibility found ``no evidence that [Border Patrol agents]
involved in this incident struck, intentionally or otherwise, any
migrant with their reins'';
Whereas the National Border Patrol Council, which is the labor union
representing Border Patrol agents and support staff, is considering
supporting the impeachment of Secretary Mayorkas;
Whereas the actions of Secretary Mayorkas' department have encouraged foreign
nationals to attempt to illegally enter the United States at historic
levels, as evidenced by 251,012 enforcement encounters along the
southern border in December 2022, which is the highest number of
encounters ever recorded in a single month;
Whereas a major component of these failed immigration enforcement policies is
the Department of Homeland Security's disregard for its responsibility
to enforce Federal immigration laws, including Secretary Mayorkas' abuse
of discretion in granting humanitarian parole, which, according to
section 212(d)(5)(A) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C.
1182(d)(5)(A), is only to be used on a ``case-by-case basis for urgent
humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit'', and has been used
by Secretary Mayorkas' department to grant parole en masse on multiple
occasions, including new ``Processes for Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans,
and Venezuelans'', which was announced in October 2022 and expanded in
January 2023;
Whereas the policies of the Department of Homeland Security, under the
leadership of Secretary Mayorkas, have encouraged increased numbers of
unaccompanied migrant children to enter the United States during the 2-
year period immediately preceding the date on which this resolution was
introduced, with large numbers of such children revealed by the New York
Times to have been forced into dangerous jobs in violations of child
labor laws;
Whereas, on March 28, 2023, Ranking Member Senator Lindsey Graham, during a
hearing of the Committee on the Judiciary of the Senate, pointed out
that under Secretary Mayorkas' watch--
(1) the southern border of the United States ``has gone from the lowest
illegal crossings in December 2020 to all-time highs with over 2,000,000
last fiscal year'';
(2) ``fentanyl is coming in at a pace we have never seen''; and
(3) ``more terrorists on the watch list are coming than any time since
we've been measuring these things'';
Whereas, during the same hearing, Senator Josh Hawley--
(1) compared the CBP One mobile application used to schedule
appointments and request humanitarian parole and asylum to ``a concierge
service for illegal immigrants'';
(2) commented to Secretary Mayorkas, ``rather than building a wall, Mr.
Secretary, you have built Ticketmaster for illegal immigrants''; and
Whereas during the same hearing--
(1) Secretary Mayorkas told Senator Ted Cruz that he did not recognize
wristbands abandoned along the border, which cartels commonly use for human
smuggling and trafficking and which act as a sort of registration system,
with different colors and patterns denoting the cartel responsible, how
many times a person has attempted to cross, and how much they owe to the
cartel; and
(2) Senator Cruz replied in frustration to Senator Mayorkas by calling
him incompetent and telling him, ``If you had integrity, you would
resign.'':
Now, therefore, be it
Resolved,
That it is the sense of the Senate that Secretary Alejandro
Nicholas Mayorkas no longer holds the confidence of the Senate or of
the American people to faithfully carry out his duties as Secretary of
Homeland Security.

S. RES. 17
Supporting the contributions of Catholic schools in the United States.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
January 26, 2023
Mr. Rubio (for himself and Mr. Casey) submitted the following
resolution; which was considered and agreed to
_______________________________________________________________________
RESOLUTION
Supporting the contributions of Catholic schools in the United States.
Whereas Catholic schools in the United States are internationally acclaimed for
their academic excellence and provide approximately 1,700,000 students
with more than an exceptional scholastic education;
Whereas Catholic schools instill a broad, values-added education emphasizing the
lifelong development of moral, intellectual, physical, and social values
in young people in the United States;
Whereas Catholic schools serve the United States by providing a diverse student
population from all regions of the United States and all socioeconomic
backgrounds with a strong academic and moral foundation, including 21.5
percent of students from racial minority backgrounds, 18.6 percent from
Hispanic heritage, and 20.3 percent from non-Catholic families;
Whereas Catholic schools are an affordable option for parents, particularly in
underserved urban areas;
Whereas Catholic schools produce students strongly dedicated to their faith,
values, families, and communities by providing an intellectually
stimulating environment rich in spiritual, character, and moral
development;
Whereas Catholic schools are committed to community service, producing graduates
who hold ``helping others'' among their core values;
Whereas the total Catholic school student enrollment for the 2022-2023 academic
year is 1,700,000, and the student-teacher ratio is 11 to 1;
Whereas the Catholic high school graduation rate is 98.9 percent, with 85.2
percent of graduates attending 4-year colleges;
Whereas the week of January 29, 2023, to February 4, 2023, has been designated
as ``National Catholic Schools Week'' by the National Catholic
Educational Association and the United States Conference of Catholic
Bishops;
Whereas National Catholic Schools Week was first established in 1974 and has
been celebrated annually for the past 49 years; and
Whereas the theme for National Catholic Schools Week 2023 is ``Catholic Schools:
Faith. Excellence. Service.'' which reflects the purpose of Catholic
schools to form students to be good citizens of the world, love God and
neighbor, and enrich society with the leaven of the gospel and by
example of faith: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Senate--
(1) supports the goals of National Catholic Schools Week,
an event--
(A) cosponsored by the National Catholic
Educational Association and the United States
Conference of Catholic Bishops; and

1st Session
S. RES. 170
Supporting the goals and ideals of World Malaria Day.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
April 25, 2023
Mr. Wicker (for himself and Mr. Coons) submitted the following
resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations
_______________________________________________________________________
RESOLUTION
Supporting the goals and ideals of World Malaria Day.
Whereas April 25 of each year is recognized internationally as World Malaria
Day;
Whereas malaria is a leading cause of death and disease in many developing
countries, with nearly \1/2\ of all cases globally occurring in only 4
countries, despite being preventable and treatable;
Whereas, at of the end of 2021, there were an estimated 247,000,000 malaria
cases in 84 endemic countries and 619,000 deaths from malaria;
Whereas young children and pregnant women are particularly vulnerable to, and
disproportionately affected by, malaria, with children younger than 5
years of age accounting for 76 percent of malaria deaths each year;
Whereas, between 2019 and 2021, an estimated additional 13,400,000 cases of
malaria were attributed to disruptions during that period of the COVID-
19 pandemic;
Whereas malaria was once a leading cause of death in the United States;
Whereas fighting malaria is in the national interest of the United States
because reducing the risk of malaria protects members of the Armed
Forces and other people of the United States serving overseas in
malaria-endemic regions, and reducing malaria deaths helps to lower
risks of instability in less developed countries;
Whereas the support of the United States for efforts to fight malaria--
(1) is in the diplomatic and moral interests of the United States;
(2) generates goodwill toward the United States; and
(3) highlights the values of the people of the United States through
the work of governmental, nongovernmental, and faith-based organizations of
the United States;
Whereas, between 2000 and 2021, global investments made in malaria intervention
programs averted an estimated 2,000,000,000 malaria cases and 11,700,000
malaria deaths;
Whereas the Government of the United States has played a leading role in the
recent progress made toward reducing the global burden of malaria,
particularly through the President's Malaria Initiative and the
contribution of the United States to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS,
Tuberculosis and Malaria;
Whereas, in fiscal year 2021, the President's Malaria Initiative protected
nearly 100,000,000 individuals by providing them with insecticide-
treated bednets, more than 21,000,000 individuals by providing them with
indoor insecticide spraying, more than 8,000,000 children by providing
them with seasonal preventive treatments, and more than 5,000,000 women
by providing them with preventive treatments in pregnancy;
Whereas the United States is the largest donor to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS,
Tuberculosis and Malaria, and every $1 contributed by the United States
leverages an additional $2 from other donors, as required by law; and
Whereas the Government of the United States is pursuing a comprehensive approach
to ending malaria deaths through the President's Malaria Initiative and
the United States Agency for International Development, with assistance
from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Department of
State, the Department of Health and Human Services, the National
Institutes of Health, the Department of Defense, and private sector
entities: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Senate--
(1) supports the goals and ideals of World Malaria Day;
(2) recognizes the importance of reducing malaria
prevalence and deaths to improve overall child and maternal
health, especially in sub-Saharan Africa;
(3) commends the recent progress made toward reducing
global malaria morbidity, mortality, and prevalence,
particularly through the efforts of the President's Malaria
Initiative and the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and
Malaria;
(4) commends the efforts and achievements of endemic
countries in preventing and treating malaria at home, with
locally driven programs;
(5) welcomes ongoing public-private partnerships to
research and develop more effective and affordable tools for
malaria prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and vaccination;
(6) recognizes the goals, priorities, and authorities to
combat malaria set forth in the Tom Lantos and Henry J. Hyde
United States Global Leadership Against HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis,
and Malaria Reauthorization Act of 2008 (Public Law 110-293;
122 Stat. 2918);
(7) supports efforts to reduce malaria case incidence and
malaria mortality rates by not less than 90 percent by 2030;
(8) supports continued leadership by the United States in
bilateral, multilateral, and private sector efforts to combat
malaria and to work with developing countries to create long-
term strategies to increase ownership over malaria programs;
and
(9) encourages other members of the international community
to sustain and increase their support for, and financial
contributions to, efforts to combat malaria worldwide.

1st Session
S. RES. 172
Expressing the sense of the Senate on Ukrainian victory.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
April 25, 2023
Mr. Blumenthal (for himself, Mr. Graham, and Mr. Whitehouse) submitted
the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on
Foreign Relations
_______________________________________________________________________
RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the Senate on Ukrainian victory.
Whereas Ukraine regained its independence in 1991 after three centuries of
Moscow's imperial rule;
Whereas the United States encouraged Ukraine to abandon its arsenal of nuclear
weapons, the third largest in the world at the time, in exchange for
security assurances in the Budapest Memorandum of 1994;
Whereas the 2004 Orange Revolution and the Revolution of Dignity in 2014
demonstrated the commitment of Ukrainians to shared ideals of democracy
and freedom and their desire for Euroatlantic integration;
Whereas the 2008 Bucharest North Atlantic Treaty Organization Summit Declaration
states that ``NATO welcomes Ukraine's and Georgia's Euro-Atlantic
aspirations for membership in NATO. We agree today that these countries
will become members of NATO.'';
Whereas the initial Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2014 demonstrated the Russian
regime's imperial fixation on controlling Ukraine, as well as the
determination of the Ukrainian people to preserve their sovereignty and
independence;
Whereas the Russian Federation launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in
February 2022, grossly violating international norms, costing hundreds
of thousands of people their lives, and displacing millions;
Whereas, in 2014, 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2022, the United Nations General
Assembly affirmed the territorial integrity of Ukraine, and in November
2022, called on member states to create a mechanism for reparations to
be paid to Ukraine;
Whereas, on February 18, 2023, the United States issued a finding that officials
of the Russian Federation have committed crimes against humanity;
Whereas the threat to United States interests, European security, and global
peace would greatly increase should Ukraine be unable to prevail against
the invasion, by emboldening the Russian Federation and other autocratic
states to engage in aggression against other states;
Whereas previous attempts to accommodate the Russian Federation's imperialism
have resulted only in increasingly ruinous wars of aggression, anything
short of victory for Ukraine would be an intolerable outcome for
international peace, human rights, and democracy; and
Whereas United States interests, European security, and the cause of
international peace depend on ensuring continued, robust, and
longstanding United States support for Ukraine and all free nations from
wars of aggression by Russia and its proxies, allies, or other
autocratic states: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Senate--
(1) affirms that it is the policy of the United States to
see Ukraine victorious against the invasion and restored to its
internationally recognized 1991 borders;
(2) holds that the peace brought by Ukrainian victory must
be secured by integrating Ukraine into the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization and other Euroatlantic institutions, as
consistent with longstanding United States policy; and
(3) declares that the United States must work with its
allies and partners to ensure that--
(A) the Russian Federation pays reparations to
Ukraine;
(B) the global community helps to rebuild Ukraine;
(C) the leaders of the Russian Federation are held
accountable for this war of aggression; and
(D) there is justice for victims of crimes
committed by the Russian Federation during its
invasion.

1st Session
S. RES. 173
Recognizing the duty of the Federal Government to create a Green New
Deal.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
April 25, 2023
Mr. Markey (for himself, Mr. Blumenthal, Mr. Booker, Ms. Hirono, Mr.
Merkley, Mr. Murphy, Mr. Padilla, Mr. Sanders, Mr. Van Hollen, Ms.
Warren, Mr. Welch, and Mr. Wyden) submitted the following resolution;
which was referred to the Committee on Environment and Public Works
_______________________________________________________________________
RESOLUTION
Recognizing the duty of the Federal Government to create a Green New
Deal.
Whereas the October 2018 report entitled ``Special Report on Global Warming of
1.5 \o\C'' by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and the
November 2018 Fourth National Climate Assessment report found that--
(1) human activity is the dominant cause of observed climate change
over the past century;
(2) a changing climate is causing sea levels to rise and an increase in
wildfires, severe storms, droughts, and other extreme weather events that
threaten human life, healthy communities, and critical infrastructure;
(3) global warming at or greater than 2 degrees Celsius beyond
preindustrialized levels will cause--
G (A) mass migration from the regions most affected by climate
change;
G (B) more than $500,000,000,000 in lost annual economic output in
the United States by the year 2100;
G (C) wildfires that, by 2050, will annually burn at least twice as
much forest area in the western United States than was typically burned by
wildfires in the years preceding 2019;
G (D) a loss of more than 99 percent of all coral reefs on Earth;
G (E) more than 350,000,000 more people to be exposed globally to
deadly heat stress by 2050; and
G (F) a risk of damage to $1,000,000,000,000 of public
infrastructure and coastal real estate in the United States; and
(4) global temperatures must be kept less than 1.5 degrees Celsius
above preindustrialized levels to avoid the most severe impacts of a
changing climate, which will require--
G (A) global reductions in greenhouse gas emissions from human
sources of 40 to 60 percent from 2010 levels by 2030; and
G (B) net-zero global emissions by 2050;
Whereas, because the United States has historically been responsible for a
disproportionate amount of greenhouse gas emissions, having emitted 20
percent of global greenhouse gas emissions through 2014, and has a high
technological capacity, the United States must take a leading role in
reducing emissions through economic transformation;
Whereas the United States is currently experiencing several related crises,
with--
(1) life expectancy declining while basic needs, such as clean air,
clean water, healthy food, and adequate health care, housing,
transportation, and education, are inaccessible to a significant portion of
the United States population;
(2) a 4-decade trend of wage stagnation, deindustrialization, and
antilabor policies that has led to--
G (A) hourly wages overall stagnating since the 1970s despite
increased worker productivity;
G (B) the third-worst level of socioeconomic mobility in the
developed world before the Great Recession;
G (C) the erosion of the earning and bargaining power of workers in
the United States; and
G (D) inadequate resources for public sector workers to confront the
challenges of climate change at the Federal, State, and local level; and
(3) the greatest income inequality since the 1920s, with--
G (A) the top 1 percent of earners accruing 91 percent of gains in
the first few years of economic recovery after the Great Recession;
G (B) a large racial wealth divide amounting to a difference of 20
times more wealth between the average White family and the average Black
family; and
G (C) a gender earnings gap that results in women earning
approximately 80 percent as much as men, at the median;
Whereas climate change, pollution, and environmental destruction have
exacerbated systemic racial, regional, social, environmental, and
economic injustices (referred to in this preamble as ``systemic
injustices'') by disproportionately affecting indigenous peoples,
communities of color, migrant communities, deindustrialized communities,
depopulated rural communities, the poor, low-income workers, women, the
elderly, the unhoused, people with disabilities, and youth (referred to
in this preamble as ``frontline and vulnerable communities'');
Whereas climate change constitutes a direct threat to the national security of
the United States--
(1) by impacting the economic, environmental, and social stability of
countries and communities around the world; and
(2) by acting as a threat multiplier;
Whereas the Federal Government-led mobilizations during World War II and the New
Deal created the greatest middle class that the United States has ever
seen, but many members of frontline and vulnerable communities were
excluded from many of the economic and societal benefits of those
mobilizations; and
Whereas the Senate recognizes that a new national, social, industrial, and
economic mobilization on a scale not seen since World War II and the New
Deal era is a historic opportunity--
(1) to create millions of good, high-wage jobs in the United States;
(2) to provide unprecedented levels of prosperity and economic security
for all people of the United States; and
(3) to counteract systemic injustices: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That it is the sense of the Senate that--
(1) it is the duty of the Federal Government to create a
Green New Deal--
(A) to achieve the greenhouse gas and toxic
emissions reductions needed to stay under 1.5 degrees
Celsius of warming, through a fair and just transition
for all communities and workers;
(B) to create millions of good, high-wage union
jobs and encourage collective bargaining agreements to
ensure prosperity and economic security for all people
of the United States;
(C) to invest in the infrastructure and industry of
the United States to sustainably meet the challenges of
the 21st century;
(D) to secure for all people of the United States
for generations to come--
(i) clean air and water;
(ii) climate and community resiliency;
(iii) healthy food;
(iv) access to nature; and
(v) a sustainable environment; and
(E) to promote justice and equity by stopping
current, preventing future, and repairing historic
oppression of indigenous peoples, communities of color,
migrant communities, deindustrialized communities,
depopulated rural communities, the poor, low-income
workers, women, the elderly, the unhoused, people with
disabilities, and youth (referred to in this resolution
as ``frontline and vulnerable communities'');
(2) the goals described in subparagraphs (A) through (E) of
paragraph (1) (referred to in this resolution as the ``Green
New Deal goals'') should be accomplished through a 10-year
national mobilization (referred to in this resolution as the
``Green New Deal mobilization'') that will require--
(A) building resiliency against climate change-
related disasters, such as extreme weather, including
by leveraging funding and providing investments for
community-defined projects and strategies;
(B) repairing and upgrading the infrastructure in
the United States, including--
(i) by eliminating pollution and greenhouse
gas emissions as much as technologically
feasible;
(ii) by guaranteeing universal access to
clean water;
(iii) by reducing the risks posed by
climate impacts; and
(iv) by ensuring that any infrastructure
bill considered by Congress addresses climate
change;
(C) meeting 100 percent of the power demand in the
United States through clean, renewable, and zero-
emission energy sources, including--
(i) by dramatically expanding and upgrading
renewable power sources; and
(ii) by deploying new capacity;
(D) building or upgrading to energy-efficient,
distributed, and ``smart'' power grids and ensuring
affordable access to electricity;
(E) upgrading all existing buildings in the United
States and building new buildings to achieve maximum
energy efficiency, water efficiency, safety,
affordability, comfort, and durability, including
through electrification;
(F) spurring massive growth in clean manufacturing
in the United States and removing pollution and
greenhouse gas emissions from manufacturing and
industry as much as is technologically feasible,
including by expanding renewable energy manufacturing
and investing in existing manufacturing and industry;
(G) working collaboratively with farmers and
ranchers in the United States to remove pollution and
greenhouse gas emissions from the agricultural sector
as much as is technologically feasible, including--
(i) by supporting family farming;
(ii) by investing in sustainable farming
and land use practices that increase soil
health; and
(iii) by building a more sustainable food
system that ensures universal access to healthy
food;
(H) overhauling transportation systems in the
United States to remove pollution and greenhouse gas
emissions from the transportation sector as much as is
technologically feasible, including through investment
in--
(i) zero-emission vehicle and non-motorized
alternative modes of transportation
infrastructure and manufacturing;
(ii) clean, affordable, and accessible
public transit; and
(iii) high-speed rail;
(I) mitigating and managing the long-term adverse
health, economic, and other effects of pollution and
climate change, including by providing funding for
community-defined projects and strategies;
(J) removing greenhouse gases from the atmosphere
and reducing pollution by restoring natural ecosystems
through proven low-tech solutions that increase soil
carbon storage, such as land preservation and
afforestation;
(K) restoring and protecting threatened,
endangered, and fragile ecosystems through locally
appropriate and science-based projects that enhance
biodiversity and support climate resiliency;
(L) cleaning up existing hazardous waste sites and
abandoned sites and ensuring economic development and
sustainability on those sites;
(M) identifying other emission and pollution
sources and creating solutions to remove them; and
(N) promoting the international exchange of
technology, expertise, products, funding, and services,
with the aim of making the United States the
international leader on climate action and to help
other countries achieve a Green New Deal;
(3) a Green New Deal must be developed through transparent
and inclusive consultation, collaboration, and partnership with
frontline and vulnerable communities, labor organizations,
worker cooperatives, civil society groups, academia, and
businesses; and
(4) to achieve the Green New Deal goals and mobilization, a
Green New Deal will require--
(A) providing and leveraging, in a way that ensures
that the public receives appropriate ownership stakes
and returns on investment, adequate capital (including
through community grants, public banks, and other
public financing), technical expertise, supporting
policies, and other forms of assistance to communities,
organizations, Federal, State, and local government
agencies, and businesses working on the Green New Deal
mobilization;
(B) ensuring that the Federal Government takes into
account the complete environmental and social costs and
impacts of emissions through--
(i) existing laws;
(ii) new policies and programs; and
(iii) ensuring that frontline and
vulnerable communities shall not be adversely
affected;
(C) providing resources, training, and high-quality
education, including higher education, to all people of
the United States, with a focus on frontline and
vulnerable communities, so that all people of the
United States may be full and equal participants in the
Green New Deal mobilization;
(D) making public investments in the research and
development of new clean and renewable energy
technologies and industries;
(E) directing investments to spur economic
development, deepen and diversify industry and business
in local and regional economies, and build wealth and
community ownership, while prioritizing high-quality
job creation and economic, social, and environmental
benefits in frontline and vulnerable communities, and
deindustrialized communities, that may otherwise
struggle with the transition away from greenhouse gas
intensive industries;
(F) ensuring the use of democratic and
participatory processes that are inclusive of and led
by frontline and vulnerable communities and workers to
plan, implement, and administer the Green New Deal
mobilization at the local level;
(G) ensuring that the Green New Deal mobilization
creates high-quality union jobs that pay prevailing
wages, hires local workers, offers training and
advancement opportunities, and guarantees direct
replacement of lost wages, health care, retirement, and
other benefits for workers affected by the transition;
(H) guaranteeing a job with a family-sustaining
wage, adequate family and medical leave, paid
vacations, and retirement security to all people of the
United States;
(I) strengthening and protecting the right of all
workers to organize, unionize, and collectively bargain

1st Session
S. RES. 174
Condemning the human rights record of the Government of the Kingdom of
Eswatini and the brutal killing of Eswatini activist Thulani Maseko on
January 21, 2023.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
April 26, 2023
Mr. Coons (for himself, Mr. Risch, and Mr. Booker) submitted the
following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Foreign
Relations
_______________________________________________________________________
RESOLUTION
Condemning the human rights record of the Government of the Kingdom of
Eswatini and the brutal killing of Eswatini activist Thulani Maseko on
January 21, 2023.
Whereas Eswatini, one of the world's last absolute monarchies, is ruled by King
Mswati III, who has been in power for more than 36 years, and exercises
ultimate authority over all branches of the national government and
effectively controls local and national governance through his influence
over traditional chiefs and the selection of House of Assembly
candidates and control over the national electoral system;
Whereas human rights and democracy advocates in Eswatini have faced repression
and persecution, including arbitrary arrests, detention, and torture,
and have faced on political gatherings and restrictions on their civil
liberties, including with respect to expression, assembly, and freedom
of the press;
Whereas the Government of the Kingdom of Eswatini has used laws such as the
Suppression of Terrorism Act of 2008, and the Sedition and Subversive
Activities Act of 1938, to suppress free speech and stifle criticism of
the monarch;
Whereas, from June to October 2021, the country witnessed nationwide
demonstrations against security sector abuses, with protests evolving
into demands for democratic reforms;
Whereas King Mswati III's government employed excessive force and arbitrary
arrests and detention, as well as internet shutdowns, to repress pro-
democracy protests and related advocacy activities, restrict the
activities of human rights advocates, and impose blanket bans on
protests demanding democracy and respect for internationally recognized
human rights;
Whereas official sources note security forces in Eswatini responded with
violence against protestors, reportedly killing more than 46 people,
injuring more than 245, and detaining or arresting hundreds of others,
although the international community suggests the true death toll is
higher;
Whereas the Government of the Kingdom of Eswatini detained two members of
parliament on spurious charges for more than 18 months under the
Suppression of Terrorism Act, and charged them with terrorism and murder
for allegedly encouraging pro-democracy protests and calling for a
democratically elected prime minister and other reforms;
Whereas regional human rights organizations continue to receive reports of
lawyers and judges being harassed, threatened, and intimidated for their
actual, alleged, or suspected support of the ongoing pro-democracy
movement, in contravention of their constitutional rights;
Whereas, following a visit to Eswatini by Southern African Development Community
(SADC) delegates in November 2021, King Mswati III agreed to provide for
a national dialogue to address the civil unrest structured in the format
of a sibaya, a royally convened and controlled traditional civic
consultative forum, but since then has ignored widespread demands of the
pleas of citizens, opposition politicians, civil society, and the
regional and international community for a genuine consultative forum
inclusive of diverse political views, while continuing the government's
crackdown on dissenting voices;
Whereas, in October 2021, United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres
called on the Eswatini authorities to ensure that the people of Eswatini
are able to exercise their civil and political rights peacefully;
Whereas reports indicate that the Government of the Kingdom of Eswatini has
contracted with international security companies to train government
security forces to respond to violence in the country, resulting in
increased intimidation against dissenting voices;
Whereas Thulani Maseko, a prominent human rights lawyer, Chairman of the Multi-
Stakeholder Forum, an organization comprised of various civil society
groups calling for constitutional reforms in Eswatini, and a champion of
social justice, routinely criticized King Mswati III for undermining
judicial independence and called for a more democratic legal system in
Eswatini;
Whereas, in 2014, Thulani Maseko and fellow human rights advocate Bheki Makhubu
were charged and sentenced to two years in prison for writing and
publishing an article that criticized the country's Chief Justice and
drew attention to the lack of independence of Eswatini's judicial
system;
Whereas, on June 30, 2015, Thulani Maseko and Bheki Makhubu were acquitted and
released after Eswatini's supreme court found that they had been wrongly
convicted;
Whereas Thulani Maseko made an immense contribution to the advancement of
justice and human rights in Eswatini and, more broadly, throughout
southern Africa, including through fact-finding missions, including to
Zimbabwe, Mozambique, and Malawi, where he reported on the deterioration
of civic space;
Whereas, on January 21, 2023, Thulani Maseko was shot and killed by an unknown
gunman at his home in Luyengo, Mbabane, in front of his wife and
children;
Whereas the assassination of Thulani Maseko occurred amid a rise in Swazi
government intimidation of King Mswati III's critics, many of whom have
called for political reforms in Eswatini, and an overall escalation of
violence in the country, including the killings of members of the
security forces and attacks on traditional leaders, as well as state
security force element attacks on and legal harassment of pro-democracy
advocates;
Whereas the United States Department of State, mulitlateral organizations such
as the SADC, the African Union, and the European Union, as well as the
human rights community, including Amnesty International and Human Rights
Watch, have called for a full and transparent investigation into Mr.
Maseko's murder;
Whereas, on January 25, 2023, the Department of State delivered a statement
underscoring United States condemnation and broader global condemnation
of Mr. Maseko's murder, the need for an impartial and transparent
investigation and accountability for those responsible for his killing,
nonviolence on all sides, and tangible movement on a credible, inclusive
national dialogue;
Whereas the Government of the Kingdom of Eswatini has failed to announce
progress on an independent investigation to identify and bring to
justice those responsible for Thulani Maseko's murder; and
Whereas a failure to investigate the unlawful killing of Thulani Maseko and to
bring the perpetrators to justice would be a violation of Eswatini's
obligations as a State Party to the International Covenant on Civil and
Political Rights: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Senate--
(1) condemns the brutal murder of Thulani Maseko and the
worsening cycle of political violence and instability in
Eswatini;
(2) expresses deep concern about reports of continued human
rights violations against the people of Eswatini, and the
harassment of advocates for human rights and democratic
practice and constitutionalism in Eswatini;
(3) calls on the Government of the Kingdom of Eswatini to--
(A) undertake a full, transparent, and impartial
criminal investigation into the assassination of
Thulani Maseko and hold perpetrators accountable;
(B) cease surveilling and intimidating human rights
activists fighting to protect fundamental freedoms;
(C) uphold internationally recognized human rights,
including the rights of freedom of assembly and freedom
of speech, as well as corresponding rights in the
Eswatini constitution;
(D) expeditiously initiate pre-dialogue
preparations and announce a firm date by which a
credible, inclusive dialogue on constitutional and
political reform will begin starting prior to scheduled
September 2023 elections;
(E) engage in good faith in a credible, inclusive
national dialogue to address longstanding demands for
democratic reforms; and
(F) fully staff and empower a full complement of
Commission of Human Rights and Public Accountability
(CHRPA) human rights investigation staff, install an
appointed Commissioner, make CHRPA fully independent
from the Ministry of Justice and other government
interference in line with commitments to treaty
conventions and the Paris Principle, and take action to
address CHRPA's recommendations;
(4) calls on the Office of the United Nations High
Commissioner for Human Rights to conduct an independent
investigation into Mr. Maseko's assassination and human rights
violations in Eswatini;
(5) encourages the Secretary of State and the Administrator
of the United States Agency for International Development to--
(A) maintain and expand support for journalists,
human rights advocates, and the rule of law and media
freedoms in Eswatini; and
(B) encourage the SADC to take action to address
the political and human rights crisis in Eswatini,
including by working to convene a credible consultative
forum inclusive of diverse political views and civil
society to address issues related to political space
and democratic reform; and
(6) encourages the Secretary of State and the Secretary of
the Treasury to consider targeted sanctions against any
individuals and entities committing violations of
internationally recognized human rights in Eswatini.

S. RES. 175
Recognizing the importance of the 70th anniversary of the signing of
the Mutual Defense Treaty between the United States and the Republic of
Korea on October 1, 1953.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
April 26, 2023
Mr. Menendez (for himself, Mr. Risch, Mr. Van Hollen, Mr. Romney, Mr.
Kaine, Mr. Hagerty, Mr. Ossoff, Mr. Sullivan, Mr. Schatz, Ms. Hirono,
and Mr. Hoeven) submitted the following resolution; which was
considered and agreed to
_______________________________________________________________________
RESOLUTION
Recognizing the importance of the 70th anniversary of the signing of
the Mutual Defense Treaty between the United States and the Republic of
Korea on October 1, 1953.
Whereas, on October 1, 1953, the Mutual Defense Treaty Between the United States
and the Republic of Korea (5 U.S.T. 2368) was signed in Washington,
D.C., to which the Senate provided its advice and consent to
ratification on January 26, 1954;
Whereas the shared commitment to recognize an armed attack on either of the
Parties as dangerous to the peace and security of the other and to ``act
to meet the common danger in accordance with [each party's]
constitutional processes'' remains in place today;
Whereas the United States and Korea established diplomatic relations on May 22,
1882, with the signing of the Treaty of Peace, Amity, Commerce and
Navigation, and the United States reestablished its diplomatic
relationship with the ``Republic of Korea'' on March 25, 1949;
Whereas, in 2023, the United States-Republic of Korea alliance marks 70 years
since the cessation of hostilities in the Korean War and the signing of
the Armistice Agreement on July 27, 1953, which remains in place today
and neither formally ended the Korean War nor constituted a permanent
settlement of peace on the Korean Peninsula;
Whereas the United States-Republic of Korea alliance is the linchpin of peace,
security, and stability on the Korean Peninsula and in the Indo-Pacific
region and is essential to confronting the threat posed by the
Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK);
Whereas the United States-Republic of Korea alliance is rooted in mutual trust,
shared sacrifice, common values, economic interests, and generations of
people-to-people ties that provide a foundation for one of the
strongest, most interoperable, and enduring bilateral alliances in the
world;
Whereas the United States assures its ironclad security commitment to the
Republic of Korea, including the United States extended deterrent
underpinned by the full range of United States capabilities, including
nuclear capabilities;
Whereas the United States-Republic of Korea alliance was forged in shared
sacrifice, with 1,789,000 United States soldiers, sailors, airmen, and
Marines serving during the Korean War, of whom 36,574 paid the ultimate
sacrifice with their lives in defense of the Republic of Korea,
including 7,174 Korean Augmentation to the United States Army (KATUSA)
soldiers, and the over 7,500 members of the United States Armed Forces
that remain classified by the Department of Defense as missing in
action;
Whereas casualties of the Republic of Korea were more than 217,000 soldiers
killed, more than 291,000 wounded, and over 1,000,000 civilians killed
or missing;
Whereas the Republic of Korea has since its founding become a thriving democracy
with a vibrant press and commitment to the rule of law and a free market
economy;
Whereas the United States-Republic of Korea Security Consultative Meeting met on
November 3, 2022, in Washington, D.C. and ``shared their common
understanding that the U.S.-ROK Alliance is based on the same principles
and shared values including: mutual trust, freedom, democracy, human
rights, and the rule of law'';
Whereas the United States and the Republic of Korea are committed to pursuing
closely coordinated diplomatic efforts through a shared strategy to
achieve the complete, verifiable, and irreversible denuclearization of
North Korea and establishing peace on the Korean Peninsula;
Whereas the Republic of Korea's 2022 Strategy for a Free, Peaceful, and
Prosperous Indo-Pacific Region emphasizes its desire to be a global
pivotal state that commits ``to working with other key nations both
within and beyond the region to foster a free and peaceful region . . .
while strengthening the rules-based international order'';
Whereas President Yoon Suk Yeol took the courageous and bold step of announcing
that the Government of the Republic of Korea would compensate Korean
victims of Japanese wartime labor in order to facilitate the resolution
of an issue that has hampered cooperation with Japan;
Whereas a robust and effective trilateral relationship between and among the
United States, the Republic of Korea, and Japan is critical for joint
security and interests in defending freedom and democracy, upholding
human rights, promoting peace, security, and the rule of law in the
Indo-Pacific and across the globe, championing women's empowerment, and
combating and adapting to complex environmental challenges;
Whereas the American and Korean people share deeply rooted values of defending
freedom, championing economic development, upholding human rights, and
respecting the rule of law;
Whereas the United States, the Republic of Korea, and Japan have held a series
of trilateral meetings, including a trilateral leaders' summit on
November 13, 2022, a Foreign Ministers' meeting on September 23, 2022,
and a vice ministerial meeting on February 13, 2023, at which the three
countries committed to continuing trilateral exercises on ballistic
missile defense and anti-submarine warfare, and further determined to
explore new areas of security cooperation, including sharing DPRK
missile warning data in real time;
Whereas the Republic of Korea is the United States' seventh largest goods
trading partner with $162,900,000,000 in total (two-way) goods trade and
$31,500,000,000 in total services trade for a combined $194,400,000,000
in 2021, and is one of the United States top sources of Foreign Direct
Investment (FDI), which totaled $110,600,000,000 in 2021 and, according
to the Bureau of Economic Analysis, South Korea multinational
enterprises (MNEs) in the United States employed almost 84,000 employees
in 2020;
Whereas the strength of the United States-Republic of Korea relationship is due
in large part to the approximately 2,500,000 Korean Americans that have
made significant contributions to every facet of American society and
leadership to now include four members of the House of Representatives:
Andy Kim of New Jersey, Young Kim of California, Marilyn Strickland of
Washington, and Michelle Steel of California; and
Whereas, in April 2023, President Yoon Suk Yeol will visit the United States at
the invitation of President Joseph R. Biden: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Senate--
(1) welcomes President Yoon Suk Yeol to the United States
and urges both sides to use the occasion of this state visit to
further deepen the close security, economic, and people-to-
people ties between our nations;
(2) reaffirms the importance of the United States-Republic
of Korea alliance as the linchpin to safeguarding peace,
security, and prosperity on the Korean Peninsula and a critical
component of peace in the Indo-Pacific region;
(3) reaffirms the United States' extended deterrence
commitments to the Republic of Korea and that the United States
will continue to ensure that its policy and posture reflects
the requirements of extended deterrence;
(4) supports ongoing efforts to further strengthen,
broaden, and deepen the ironclad United States-Republic of
Korea alliance, including the United States-Republic of Korea
Foreign and Defense Ministerial Meeting (2+2), the Security
Consultative Meeting, and the Extended Deterrence Strategy and
Consultation Group, to confront threats to the peace and safety
of both nations, and to stand together for the common values
and shared interests that unite us;
(5) calls for continued cooperation between the Governments
of the United States and the Republic of Korea in the promotion
of human rights;
(6) supports the Republic of Korea's engagement in regional
diplomacy, including the launching of the ROK-ASEAN Solidarity
Initiative, the Republic of Korea's participation in the
Minerals Security Partnership, its joining of the Partners in
the Blue Pacific, and its hosting of a summit with Pacific
Island nations;
(7) endorses further Republic of Korea engagement with Quad
initiatives;
(8) calls for close coordination to achieve the
denuclearization of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea
and the establishment of a permanent and lasting peace on the
Korean Peninsula;
(9) encourages close cooperation among the United States,
the Republic of Korea, and Japan to address shared challenges;
and
(10) recognizes the deep partnership forged over 70 years
since the signing of the Mutual Defense Treaty that has
underpinned security for both countries, established a durable
trust, undergirded the free and open order in the Indo-Pacific,
and demonstrated the benefits of robust democracies on both
sides of the Pacific.

118th CONGRESS
1st Session
S. RES. 176
Supporting the designation of April 2023 as the ``Month of the Military
Child''.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
April 26, 2023
Mrs. Murray (for herself and Mr. Boozman) submitted the following
resolution; which was considered and agreed to
_______________________________________________________________________
RESOLUTION
Supporting the designation of April 2023 as the ``Month of the Military
Child''.
Whereas millions of brave United States servicemembers and veterans have
demonstrated their courage and commitment to freedom by serving the
Armed Forces of the United States of America in active-duty posts around
the world;
Whereas there are more than 1,600,000 children connected to the military across
the United States;
Whereas it is only fitting that the people of the United States take time to
recognize the contributions of servicemembers and veterans, celebrate
their spirit, and let the men and women of the United States in uniform
know that while they are taking care of us, the people of the United
States are taking care of their children;
Whereas the recognition of a ``Month of the Military Child'' will allow the
people of the United States to pay tribute to military children for
their commitment, struggles, and unconditional support of United States
troops;
Whereas, when a servicemember joins the military, it is a family commitment to
the United States, and military children are heroes in their own way;
and
Whereas a month-long salute to military children will encourage the United
States to provide direct support to military children and families: Now,
therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Senate--
(1) supports the designation of April 2023 as the ``Month
of the Military Child''; and
(2) urges the people of the United States to observe the
Month of the Military Child with appropriate ceremonies and
activities that honor, support, and show appreciation for
military children.

S. RES. 177
To authorize testimony and representation in United States v. Powell.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
April 26, 2023
Mr. Schumer (for himself and Mr. McConnell) submitted the following
resolution; which was considered and agreed to
_______________________________________________________________________
RESOLUTION
To authorize testimony and representation in United States v. Powell.
Whereas, in the case of United States v. Powell, Cr. No. 21-179, pending in the
United States District Court for the District of Columbia, the
prosecution has requested the production of testimony from Daniel
Schwager, a former employee of the Office of the Secretary of the
Senate;
Whereas, pursuant to sections 703(a) and 704(a)(2) of the Ethics in Government
Act of 1978, 2 U.S.C. Sec. Sec. 288b(a) and 288c(a)(2), the Senate may
direct its counsel to represent current and former officers and
employees of the Senate with respect to any subpoena, order, or request
for evidence relating to their official responsibilities;
Whereas, by the privileges of the Senate of the United States and Rule XI of the
Standing Rules of the Senate, no evidence under the control or in the
possession of the Senate may, by the judicial or administrative process,
be taken from such control or possession but by permission of the
Senate; and
Whereas, when it appears that evidence under the control or in the possession of
the Senate may promote the administration of justice, the Senate will
take such action as will promote the ends of justice consistent with the
privileges of the Senate: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That Daniel Schwager, a former employee of the Office of
the Secretary of the Senate, is authorized to provide relevant
testimony in the case of United States v. Powell, except concerning
matters for which a privilege should be asserted.
Sec. 2. The Senate Legal Counsel is authorized to represent Mr.
Schwager, and any current or former officer or employee of the
Secretary's office, in connection with the production of evidence
authorized in section one of this resolution.

S. RES. 179
Condemning the wrongful detainment of United States citizens and
residents by the Russian Federation, and for other purposes.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
April 27, 2023
Mr. Graham (for himself, Mr. Wicker, Mr. Blumenthal, Mr. Whitehouse,
Mr. Coons, Mrs. Capito, and Ms. Murkowski) submitted the following
resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations
_______________________________________________________________________
RESOLUTION
Condemning the wrongful detainment of United States citizens and
residents by the Russian Federation, and for other purposes.
Whereas the Constitution of the Russian Federation guarantees the right to
assemble, freedom from censorship, and the freedom of speech and thought
to its citizens;
Whereas, under the leadership of President Vladimir Putin, the Government of the
Russian Federation has failed to protect these ideals and has used the
power of the state to diminish the rights of Russians and others within
its borders and across the territories Russia unlawfully occupies;
Whereas President Putin's regime has used the power of the state to unlawfully
detain individuals committed to fighting corruption within the Russian
Federation;
Whereas President Putin's regime has unjustly targeted and detained individuals
such as Sergei Magnitsky, who provided evidence that $230,000,000 had
been stolen from the Russian treasury by senior Russian officials;
Whereas Sergei Magnitsky died at the age of 37 after being denied critical
medical care while being unjustly detained in inhuman conditions;
Whereas President Putin's regime also utilizes the power of the state to target
political opponents and repress freedom of speech, thought, and
expression;
Whereas Alexey Navalny, a Russian opposition leader and vocal critic of
President Putin, has been unjustly detained and subject to poisoning by
the Kremlin;
Whereas the Putin regime has also used its power to unjustly detain citizens of
the United States;
Whereas United States citizen Paul Whelan is currently serving a 16-year prison
sentence after being wrongfully detained by the Russian Federation for
espionage;
Whereas, following Paul Whelan's conviction on June 15, 2020, the Department of
State released a statement demanding his immediate release, and this
statement continues to be ignored by the Government of the Russian
Federation;
Whereas, on April 12, 2022, United States resident Vladimir Kara-Murza was
arrested for condemning Russia's war in Ukraine and was charged with
``spreading deliberately false information'' about the Armed Forces of
Russia, which was criminalized under a Russian law passed after the
full-scale invasion of Ukraine;
Whereas, on April 17, 2023, Vladimir Kara-Murza was convicted of treason and
sentenced to 25 years in prison;
Whereas additional United States citizens continue to be detained in Russia for
unjust cause, including American journalist Evan Gershkovich;
Whereas wrongful detention, as defined in section 302 of the Robert Levinson
Hostage Recovery and Hostage-Taking Accountability Act (22 U.S.C. 1741)
and Department of State guidance, covers the detention of United States
nationals, including lawful permanent residents (LPRs);
Whereas, under section 302 of the Robert Levinson Hostage Recovery and Hostage-
Taking Accountability Act (22 U.S.C. 1741), the Secretary of State is
required to review the cases of United States nationals detained abroad
to determine if there is credible information that they are being
detained unlawfully or wrongfully and if this determination is made, the
Secretary is required to transfer responsibility for such case from the
Bureau of Consular Affairs of the Department of State to the Office of
the Special Presidential Envoy for Hostage Affairs (SPEHA);
Whereas a referral to SPEHA, pursuant to Executive Order No. 14078 (relating to
Bolstering Efforts To Bring Hostages and Wrongfully Detained United
States Nationals Home), allows SPEHA to utilize additional tools not
regularly available in order to deter and disrupt hostage-taking and
wrongful detentions by imposing costs on terrorist organizations,
criminal groups, and other malicious actors who take hostages for
financial, political, or other gains and thus threaten the integrity of
the international political system and the safety of United States
nationals and other persons abroad;
Whereas, on April 17, 2023, United States Ambassador to the Russian Federation
Lynne Tracy stated, ``The right to have political opinions, or to
disagree with the decisions of one's own government, are fundamental
freedoms enshrined in both the Russian constitution and international
treaties to which Russia is a party.'';
Whereas the Government of the Russian Federation, under the leadership of
President Putin, has clearly failed to uphold the values guaranteed in
the Russian constitution and the international treaties the Russian
Federation is party to;
Whereas the actions of President Putin's regime, including illegal detainments,
military operations against sovereign nation states, and attacks on
political opponents, constitute acts of international terrorism;
Whereas, under chapter 113B of title 18, United States Code, the term
``international terrorism'' means activities that involve violent acts
or acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal
laws of the United States or of any State, or that would be a criminal
violation if committed within the jurisdiction of the United States or
of any State, and appear to be intended--
(1) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population;
(2) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or
coercion; or
(3) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction,
assassination, or kidnapping;
Whereas, at a minimum, the Government of the Russian Federation's treatment of
detained Americans, Russian citizens, and others through inhuman prison
conditions, including the lack of medical care, and the lack of due
process constitutes a danger to human life which would be a criminal
violation in the United States and is clearly intended to intimidate or
coerce the free exercise of rights available to individuals in the
Russian Federation; and
Whereas United States law authorizes the designation of countries that have
repeatedly provided support for acts of international terrorism as state
sponsors of terrorism: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Senate--
(1) calls on the United States Government to designate
Vladimir Kara-Murza as wrongfully detained under United States
law;
(2) condemns the wrongful detainment of all United States
citizens and residents by the Government of the Russian
Federation and demands their immediate release from such
detention;
(3) stands with the people of Russia in their desire to
exercise freedom of speech and expression, without retaliation
by an oppressive regime;
(4) demands that the Russian leadership be held accountable
for their inhumane and unjust actions against their own
citizens who want nothing less than to be represented by a fair
and just government; and
(5) calls on the United States Government to immediately
designate the Russian Federation as a state sponsor of
terrorism under United States law.

1st Session
S. RES. 180
Expressing support for the designation of April 30, 2023, as ``National
Adult Hepatitis B Vaccination Awareness Day''.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
April 27, 2023
Ms. Hirono submitted the following resolution; which was referred to
the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions
_______________________________________________________________________
RESOLUTION
Expressing support for the designation of April 30, 2023, as ``National
Adult Hepatitis B Vaccination Awareness Day''.
Whereas up to 2,400,000 individuals in the United States are chronically
infected with hepatitis B, and up to \2/3\ of individuals with chronic
hepatitis B are unaware of their infection;
Whereas hepatitis B is a viral infection of the liver transmitted via infected
blood and other bodily fluids, including through mother-to-child
transmission and injection drug use;
Whereas hepatitis B is associated with significant disparities among communities
of color (including Asian Americans, Pacific Islanders, and African
immigrants), sexual and gender minority communities, and those affected
by the opioid crisis;
Whereas individuals with chronic diseases, such as diabetes, HIV, hepatitis C,
and chronic liver disease, and individuals on hemodialysis are at an
increased risk for hepatitis B co-infection;
Whereas there is no cure for hepatitis B, and individuals with chronic hepatitis
B require lifelong medical care;
Whereas chronic hepatitis B represents 1 of the most common causes of liver
cancer;
Whereas 1 in every 4 individuals with unmanaged chronic hepatitis B will develop
liver cancer, cirrhosis, or liver failure, with liver cancer having a 5-
year survival rate of only 18 percent in the United States;
Whereas safe and highly effective vaccines to protect against hepatitis B are
available;
Whereas, in accordance with universal childhood hepatitis B vaccination
recommendations in the United States, infants and children have been
routinely vaccinated against hepatitis B since the 1990s;
Whereas all adults between 19 and 59 years of age, and adults 60 and older who
have hepatitis B risk factors, are recommended to be vaccinated against
hepatitis B;
Whereas the hepatitis B vaccine, which is 95 percent effective and was the first
anticancer vaccine to be developed, is projected to have prevented
310,000,000 cases of hepatitis B worldwide from 1990 to 2020;
Whereas only 30 percent of adults in the United States are vaccinated against
hepatitis B;
Whereas the number of reported acute hepatitis B cases increased by 11 percent
nationwide from 2014 to 2018;
Whereas, as a result of the drug use epidemic, there have been significant
regional increases in acute hepatitis B cases in the United States,
including--
(1) a reported 489 percent increase from 2015 to 2016 in Maine;
(2) a reported 114 percent increase from 2009 to 2013 in Kentucky, West
Virginia, and Tennessee;
(3) a reported 78 percent increase in 2017 in southeastern
Massachusetts; and
(4) a reported 56 percent increase from 2014 to 2016 in North Carolina;
Whereas 36 percent of new hepatitis B cases are among individuals who inject
drugs;
Whereas, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, hepatitis
B is 50 to 100 times more infectious than HIV and 5 to 10 times more
infectious than hepatitis C; and
Whereas there are significant opportunities, particularly with respect to the
drug use epidemic, to prevent new hepatitis B infections and thereby
reduce the incidence of liver cancer and cirrhosis through efforts to--
(1) increase adult hepatitis B vaccination; and
(2) maintain childhood hepatitis B vaccination: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Senate--
(1) supports the designation of April 30, 2023, as
``National Adult Hepatitis B Vaccination Awareness Day'';
(2) recognizes the importance of providing support and
encouragement--
(A) for all adults to be tested for hepatitis B at
least once in their lifetime in accordance with
recommendations;
(B) for individuals susceptible to infection to be
vaccinated against hepatitis B; and
(C) for individuals diagnosed with hepatitis B to
be linked to appropriate care; and
(3) in order to reduce the number of new hepatitis B
infections and hepatitis B-related deaths, encourages a
commitment to--
(A) increasing adult hepatitis B vaccination rates;
(B) maintaining childhood hepatitis B vaccination
rates; and
(C) promoting provider and community awareness of
adult hepatitis B vaccination.

1st Session
S. RES. 182
Supporting the goals and ideals of National Safe Digging Month.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
April 27, 2023
Mr. Peters (for himself, Ms. Cantwell, Mr. Cruz, and Mr. Young)
submitted the following resolution; which was considered and agreed to
_______________________________________________________________________
RESOLUTION
Supporting the goals and ideals of National Safe Digging Month.
Whereas, each year, the underground utility infrastructure of the United States,
including pipelines, electric, gas, telecommunications, fiber, water,
sewer, and cable television lines, is jeopardized by unintentional
damage caused by those who fail to have underground utility lines
located prior to digging;
Whereas some utility lines are buried only a few inches underground, making the
lines easy to strike, even during shallow digging projects;
Whereas digging prior to having underground utility lines located often results
in unintended consequences, such as service interruption, environmental
damage, personal injury, and even death;
Whereas the month of April marks the beginning of the peak period during which
excavation projects are carried out around the United States;
Whereas, in 2002, Congress required the Department of Transportation and the
Federal Communications Commission to establish a 3-digit, nationwide,
toll-free number to be used by State ``One Call'' systems to provide
information on underground utility lines;
Whereas, in 2005, the Federal Communications Commission designated ``811'' as
the nationwide ``One Call'' number for homeowners and excavators to use
to obtain information on underground utility lines before conducting
excavation activities (hereinafter referred to as the ```One Call'/811
program'');
Whereas the nearly 2,000 members of the Common Ground Alliance, States, ``One
Call''/811 program, and other stakeholders who are dedicated to ensuring
public safety, environmental protection, and the integrity of services,
promote the national ``Contact 811 Before You Dig'' campaign to increase
public awareness about the importance of homeowners and excavators
contacting 811 to find out the location of underground utility lines
before digging;
Whereas the Pipeline Safety, Regulatory Certainty, and Job Creation Act of 2011
(Public Law 112-90; 125 Stat. 1904) affirmed and expanded the ``One
Call''/811 program by eliminating exemptions given to local and State
government agencies and their contractors regarding notifying ``One
Call''/811 centers before digging;
Whereas, according to the 2021 Damage Information Reporting Tool (DIRT) Report
published by the Common Ground Alliance in October 2022--
(1) estimated annual instances of excavation-related damages to
underground facilities were on-pace or higher than the approximately
486,000 damages from the prior year; and
(2) failing to contact 811 in advance of a digging project caused 26
percent of these damages;
Whereas, in 2021, the Common Ground Alliance conducted a survey of active
diggers who have completed a project during the prior year and found
that 74 percent of the more than 1,800 respondents were aware of the
``One Call''/811 program; and
Whereas the Common Ground Alliance has designated April as ``National Safe
Digging Month'' to increase awareness of safe digging practices across
the United States and to celebrate the anniversary of 811, the national
``Contact Before You Dig'' number: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Senate--
(1) supports the goals and ideals of National Safe Digging
Month;
(2) encourages all homeowners and excavators throughout the
United States to contact 811 by phone or online before digging;
and
(3) encourages all damage prevention stakeholders to help
educate homeowners and excavators throughout the United States
about the importance of contacting 811 to have the approximate
location of buried utilities marked with paint or flags before
digging.

S. RES. 183
Celebrating the 151st anniversary of Arbor Day.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
April 27, 2023
Mr. King (for himself, Mr. Risch, Mr. Brown, Ms. Collins, Ms. Baldwin,
Mr. Boozman, Mr. Manchin, Mr. Crapo, Mrs. Shaheen, Mrs. Hyde-Smith, Mr.
Wicker, and Mr. Murphy) submitted the following resolution; which was
considered and agreed to
_______________________________________________________________________
RESOLUTION
Celebrating the 151st anniversary of Arbor Day.
Whereas Arbor Day was founded on April 10, 1872, to recognize the importance of
planting trees;
Whereas Arbor Day is a time to recognize the importance of trees and an
opportunity for communities to gather and plant for a greener future;
Whereas Arbor Day is observed in all 50 States and across the world;
Whereas participating in Arbor Day activities promotes civic participation and
highlights the importance of planting and caring for trees and
vegetation;
Whereas such activities provide an opportunity to convey to future generations
the value of land and stewardship;
Whereas working forests have contributed to an increase in the number of trees
planted in the United States and are sustainably managed, with less than
2 percent of working forests nationally harvested each year;
Whereas a key factor in preventing forest conversion and deforestation is
keeping forests productive;
Whereas working forests are a critical part of a nature-based solution to
climate change, and by providing a continuous cycle of growing,
harvesting, and replanting, active forest management maximizes the
ability to sequester and store carbon and improves forest resilience;
Whereas private forests play an important role in conserving at-risk and
declining species, and collaborative conservation efforts can benefit
species while also helping to keep forests as forests;
Whereas sustainably grown wood can be used in a wide variety of resilient
infrastructure and building applications--from traditional timber
framing to high-tech mass timber--and as a natural, renewable, and
biodegradable material, the significant use of wood building materials
in buildings and bridges helps decrease global carbon emissions;
Whereas the Arbor Day Foundation and the Tree City USA program have been
committed to greening cities and towns across the country since 1976,
and, in that time, more than 3,600 communities have made the commitment
to becoming Tree City USA communities;
Whereas Tree City USA communities are home to more than 153,000,000 individuals
in the United States who are dedicated to core standards of sound urban
forestry management and who dedicate resources and time to urban
forestry initiatives, which helps make their communities and our country
a better place to live;
Whereas National Arbor Day is observed on the last Friday of April each year;
and
Whereas April 28, 2023, marks the 151st anniversary of Arbor Day: Now,
therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Senate--
(1) recognizes April 28, 2023, as ``National Arbor Day'';
(2) celebrates the 151st anniversary of Arbor Day;
(3) supports the goals and ideals of National Arbor Day;
and
(4) encourages the people of the United States to
participate in National Arbor Day activities.

_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
April 27, 2023

following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Health,

_______________________________________________________________________
RESOLUTION
Expressing support for the designation of April 2023 as ``Parkinson's
Awareness Month''.
Whereas Parkinson's disease--
(1) affects more than 1,000,000 individuals in the United States;
(2) is the fastest-growing and second most common neurodegenerative
disease in the world;
(3) is believed to be caused by a combination of genetic and
environmental factors, but the exact cause in most individuals is still
unknown; and
(4) is the 14th leading cause of death in the United States, according
to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention;
Whereas it is estimated that, by 2037, the number of individuals with
Parkinson's disease in the United States will nearly double, and the
disease will cost the United States at least $80,000,000,000 annually;
Whereas the symptoms of Parkinson's disease can include dementia and cognitive
impairment, tremors, slowness of movement and rigidity, gait and balance
difficulties, speech and swallowing difficulties, depression, and a
variety of other symptoms;
Whereas there are millions of family caregivers, friends, and loved ones whose
lives are greatly affected by Parkinson's disease; and
Whereas more research, education, and community support services are needed to--
(1) find better treatments and a cure for Parkinson's disease; and
(2) maintain dignity for those living with the disease today: Now,
therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Senate--
(1) expresses support for the designation of April 2023 as
``Parkinson's Awareness Month'';
(2) supports the goals and ideals of Parkinson's Awareness
Month;
(3) continues to support research to find better treatments
and a cure for Parkinson's disease;
(4) recognizes the individuals living with Parkinson's
disease who participate in vital clinical trials to advance the
knowledge of the disease; and
(5) commends the dedication of organizations, volunteers,
researchers, and millions of individuals across the country
working to improve the quality of life of people living with
Parkinson's disease and their families.

118th CONGRESS
1st Session
S. RES. 185
Designating April 2023 as ``Financial Literacy Month''.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
April 27, 2023
Mr. Reed (for himself, Mr. Scott of South Carolina, Mr. Braun, Mrs.
Britt, Mrs. Capito, Mr. Cardin, Mr. Casey, Ms. Collins, Ms. Cortez
Masto, Mr. Crapo, Mr. Cruz, Mr. Daines, Mr. Durbin, Mrs. Feinstein, Ms.
Hassan, Mr. Kennedy, Ms. Klobuchar, Mr. Lujan, Ms. Lummis, Mr. Manchin,
Mr. Risch, Ms. Rosen, Mr. Rounds, Mr. Rubio, Mr. Whitehouse, Mr.
Wicker, Mr. Young, Mr. Cassidy, and Mrs. Blackburn) submitted the
following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on the
Judiciary
_______________________________________________________________________
RESOLUTION
Designating April 2023 as ``Financial Literacy Month''.
Whereas, according to the report entitled ``Economic Well-Being of U.S.
Households in 2021'' by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System, a noted increase in financial well-being occurred broadly as the
United States recovered from the COVID-19 pandemic, but existing gaps in
education, ethnicity, and disability persisted;
Whereas, according to the 2021 Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation National
Survey of Unbanked and Underbanked Households--
(1) approximately 4.5 percent of households, representing 5,900,000
households in the United States, are unbanked and, therefore, have limited
or no access to savings, lending, and other basic financial services; and
(2) an estimated 14.1 percent of households, representing 18,700,000
million households in the United States, are underbanked;
Whereas, according to the 2021 Consumer Financial Literacy and Preparedness
Survey of the National Foundation for Credit Counseling and Wells
Fargo--
(1) 47 percent of the general population in the United States report
having credit card debt;
(2) 38 percent of adults in the United States report carrying credit
card balances from month-to-month; and
(3) 44 percent of the general population in the United States have a
budget and keep close track of expenses, such as food, housing, and
entertainment;
Whereas, according to a report entitled ``Financial Capability of Adults with
Disabilities'' by the National Disability Institute and the Financial
Industry Regulatory Authority, people with disabilities were more likely
to struggle with the key components of financial capability, which are
making ends meet, planning ahead, managing financial products, and
financial knowledge and decision-making, and could benefit from targeted
financial education;
Whereas, according to the statistical release of the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System for the fourth quarter of 2022 entitled
``Household Debt and Credit''--
(1) outstanding household debt in the United States has increased by
$2,750,000,000,000 since the end of 2019;
(2) outstanding student loan balances have more than doubled in the
last decade to nearly $1,600,000,000,000; and
(3) the share of debt newly transitioning into delinquency increased
for nearly all debt types, following 2 years of historically low
delinquency transitions;
Whereas, according to the 2022 report entitled ``Survey of the States: Economic
and Personal Finance Education in Our Nation's Schools'' by the Council
for Economic Education--
(1) only 25 States require students to take an economics course as a
high school graduation requirement; and
(2) only 23 States require students to take a personal finance course
as a high school graduation requirement, either independently or as part of
an economics course;
Whereas expanding access to the safe, mainstream financial system will provide
individuals with less expensive and more secure options for managing
finances and building wealth;
Whereas quality personal financial education is essential to ensure that
individuals are prepared--
(1) to make sound money management decisions about credit, debt,
insurance, financial transactions, and planning for the future; and
(2) to become responsible workers, heads of household, investors,
entrepreneurs, business leaders, and citizens;
Whereas financial education in schools in the United States is critical to a
long-term financial inclusion strategy to reach students who are not
able to get sufficient personal finance guidance at home;
Whereas, according to the 2021 report entitled ``Game Changer: The Evaluation of
the Jump$tart Financial Foundations for Educators Professional
Development Program'' by the Financial Literacy Group, teacher training
regarding financial education improves student outcomes significantly,
especially among historically underserved students;
Whereas increased financial literacy--
(1) empowers individuals to make wise financial decisions; and
(2) reduces the confusion caused by an increasingly complex economy;
Whereas a greater understanding of, and familiarity with, financial markets and
institutions will lead to increased economic activity and growth; and
Whereas, in 2003, Congress--
(1) determined that coordinating Federal financial literacy efforts and
formulating a national strategy is important; and
(2) in light of that determination, passed the Financial Literacy and
Education Improvement Act (20 U.S.C. 9701 et seq.), establishing the
Financial Literacy and Education Commission: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Senate--
(1) designates April 2023 as ``Financial Literacy Month''
to raise public awareness about--
(A) the importance of personal financial education
in the United States; and
(B) the serious consequences that may result from a
lack of understanding about personal finances; and
(2) calls on the Federal Government, States, localities,
schools, nonprofit organizations, businesses, and the people of
the United States to observe Financial Literacy Month with
appropriate programs and activities.

118th CONGRESS
1st Session
S. RES. 186
A resolution seeking justice for the Japanese citizens abducted by
North Korea.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
May 1, 2023
Mr. Sullivan (for himself and Ms. Hirono) submitted the following
resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations
_______________________________________________________________________
RESOLUTION
A resolution seeking justice for the Japanese citizens abducted by
North Korea.
Whereas the United States Government recognizes that North Korea was abducting
Japanese citizens since the 1970s;
Whereas, in September 2002, North Korea admitted that it had abducted Japanese
citizens and promised to prevent further recurrences;
Whereas, in October of 2002, only 5 abductees were returned to Japan after being
held prisoner for 24 years, despite the explicit commitment of North
Korea to investigate what had happened to all abductees;
Whereas the Universal Declaration of Human Rights upholds the basic principles
of liberty and freedom enshrined within the United States Constitution
and Bill of Rights;
Whereas human rights awareness is essential to the realization of fundamental
freedoms and contributes to promoting equality, preventing conflict and
human rights violations, and enhancing participation in democratic
processes;
Whereas these abductions of Japanese citizens by North Korea directly conflict
with the basic principle of liberty and freedom; and
Whereas there have been several attempts at dialogue between North Korea and
Japanese leaders in an effort to yield stable results: Now, therefore,
be it
Resolved, That the Senate--
(1) calls on North Korea to release any abducted foreign
nationals, including those from Japan;
(2) urges North Korea to return the remains and provide
information on any deceased abductees;
(3) urges North Korea to make such reparations as are
appropriate regarding abductees; and
(4) urges North Korea to apologize and permanently cease
such activities.

Whereas, on May 14, 1948, President Harry S. Truman, on behalf of the United
States, was the first foreign leader to recognize the Jewish government
of the State of Israel;
Whereas the establishment of the State of Israel realized the right of the
Jewish people to self-determination and is an outgrowth of the existence
of the historic and ancestral kingdom of Israel established in the land
of Israel 3,000 years ago with Jerusalem as its capital;
Whereas the establishment of the modern State of Israel as a homeland for the
Jews followed the slaughter of more than 6,000,000 Jews during the
Holocaust;
Whereas the Declaration of the Establishment of the State of Israel, proclaimed
on May 14, 1948, states, in part, ``THE STATE OF ISRAEL will be open for
Jewish immigration and for the Ingathering of the Exiles; it will foster
the development of the country for the benefit of all its inhabitants;
it will be based on freedom, justice and peace as envisaged by the
prophets of Israel; it will ensure complete equality of social and
political rights to all its inhabitants irrespective of religion, race
or sex; it will guarantee freedom of religion, conscience, language,
education and culture; it will safeguard the Holy Places of all
religions; and it will be faithful to the principles of the Charter of
the United Nations.'';
Whereas, to preserve these values and the institutions of Israeli democracy,
Israel has enacted and amended the Basic Laws of Israel, which provide
the foundation of Israel's democratic system;
Whereas Israel is home to a vibrant Arab community, comprising an estimated 20
percent of Israel's population and possessing equal rights under Israeli
law;
Whereas the people of Israel have established a pluralistic democratic political
system, including freedom of speech, a free press, free, fair, and open
elections, the rule of law, and other democratic principles and
practices;
Whereas Israel--
(1) offers invaluable contributions to the international community,
including humanitarian aid, entrepreneurship, cybersecurity, military
weaponry, counterterrorism, airport security, agriculture, water
management, arid-zone farming, medical advances, natural gas, and other
technologies; and
(2) will promote a positive vision for emerging technologies that is
anchored by democratic values;
Whereas robust bilateral ties with Israel--
(1) contribute to the security interests of the United States;
(2) produce security, economic, and cultural benefits in the region;
(3) increase regional integration and stability; and
(4) build confidence with respect to peace negotiations;
Whereas Israel--

Whereas Israel maintains free trade agreements with the United States, members
of the European Union, members of the European Free Trade Association,
Canada, Mexico, Ukraine, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, and other
nation states;
Whereas, in 1987, the United States Government designated Israel as a major non-
NATO ally;
Whereas, in 2014, the United States Government designated Israel as a major
strategic partner;
Whereas, on March 26, 1979, the Arab Republic of Egypt signed a peace treaty
with Israel, becoming the first Arab country to establish full,
normalized, diplomatic relations with the State of Israel;
Whereas, on October 26, 1994, the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan signed a peace
treaty with Israel, becoming the second Arab country to normalize ties
with Israel;
Whereas security coordination between the State of Israel and the Palestinian
National Authority promotes stability and is critical to deescalating
tensions;
Whereas the United States has actively supported and played a significant role
in the efforts to bring about Israeli-Palestinian peace, consistent with
the long-standing United States commitment to a sustainable, viable,
two-state solution negotiated directly between the parties, resulting in
an end to the conflict and two states for two peoples based on mutual
recognition, dignity, and peaceful neighborly relations;
Whereas, on September 15, 2020, the United States, the State of Israel, the
United Arab Emirates, and the Kingdom of Bahrain signed the Abraham
Accords, consisting of agreements to establish full relations between
Israel and the United Arab Emirates and between Israel and the Kingdom
of Bahrain;
Whereas the landmark Abraham Accords were quickly followed by agreements to
normalize relations between Israel and Sudan on October 23, 2020, and
between Israel and Morocco on December 10, 2020;
Whereas Congress underscored in the Israel Relations Normalization Act of 2022
(division Z of Public Law 117-103) that the Abraham Accords, and related
agreements and frameworks, ``have the potential to fundamentally
transform the security, diplomatic, and economic environment in the
Middle East and North Africa and advance vital United States national
security interests'';
Whereas the United States continues to build upon the foundations and success of
the Abraham Accords by urging further normalization with Israel and by
deepening regional integration and cooperation, including between Israel
and Bahrain, Egypt, Jordan, Morocco, and the United Arab Emirates, most
recently, through holding the Negev Summit on March 27 and 28, 2022, in
Sde Boker, Israel, and the establishment of the Negev Forum on June 27,
2022, in Manama, Bahrain;
Whereas, on June 27, 2022, the Negev Forum Steering Committee announced the
establishment of--
(1) 6 working groups that foster the integration of clean energy, food
and water security, education and coexistence, health, regional security,
and tourism; and
(2) ``initiatives that strengthen the Palestinian economy and improve
the quality of life of Palestinians'';
Whereas the joint security cooperation between the United States and Israel in
many fields, including intelligence sharing, air defense technology,
joint comprehensive military exercises, and cybersecurity, has proven
invaluable in strengthening the national security of the United States
and Israel;
Whereas Israel faces growing threats to its security, including--
(1) Iran's advancing nuclear program and support for global terrorism;
(2) terrorist threats from Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and
Hizballah; and
(3) other terrorist threats;
Whereas the United States and Israel have signed three 10-year bilateral
security cooperation and assistance memoranda of understanding in which
the United States committed to provide Israel with security assistance
valued at--
(1) $26,700,000,000 during the 10-year period ending on September 30,
2008;
(2) $30,000,000,000 during the 10-year period ending on September 30,
2018; and
(3) $38,000,000,000 during the 10-year period ending on September 30,
2028;
Whereas Congress has appropriated amounts in accordance with such memoranda of
understanding, reflecting the two countries' shared priorities in the
region and the strength of United States support for maintaining
Israel's qualitative military edge;
Whereas Congress passed the Nita M. Lowey Middle East Partnership for Peace Act
of 2020 (title VIII of division K of Public Law 116-260), which supports
economic development and peacebuilding efforts between Israelis and
Palestinians;
Whereas antisemitism continues to rise globally, reaching an alarming all-time
high during 2021 with 2,717 incidents in the United States and an
estimated 1,090,000,000 people worldwide harboring antisemitic
attitudes, making self-determination and a safe haven for the Jewish
people even more necessary;
Whereas Israel has absorbed millions of Jews from countries throughout the world
and fully integrated them into Israeli society;
Whereas the United States and Israel have maintained a special relationship for
75 years based on mutually shared democratic values, common strategic
interests, and moral bonds of friendship and mutual respect between
their countries and people;
Whereas Israel's involvement as an active member of the community of nations
benefits Israel, the United States, and all governments that share
common values and promote democratic stability throughout the world; and
Whereas the United States will continue to advocate for equitable treatment of
Israel in international fora in the face of antisemitic bias: Now,
therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Senate--
(1) recognizes the historic significance of, and joins the
Israeli people in their celebration of, the 75th anniversary of
the founding of the State of Israel;
(2) reaffirms--
(A) the longstanding and indelible partnership
between the United States and Israel;

to the security of the State of Israel; and

prosperity, and security alongside its neighbors;

peace between Israelis and Palestinians, in which both enjoy
peace, security, and prosperity;

Israel and robust engagement with Israel from all governments

Negev Forum, and all other ongoing efforts to formalize and
strengthen relations between Israel and its Arab neighbors in
pursuit of a more integrated and peaceful region;
(6) reaffirms its continuing support for Israel as a Jewish
and democratic state that is committed--
(A) to defending the security, freedom and equality
of all its inhabitants, regardless of religion, race,
or sex; and

S. RES. 189
Commending and congratulating the Quinnipiac University men's hockey
team for winning the 2023 National Collegiate Athletic Association
Division I Men's Hockey National Championship.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
May 2, 2023
Mr. Blumenthal (for himself and Mr. Murphy) submitted the following
resolution; which was considered and agreed to
_______________________________________________________________________
RESOLUTION
Commending and congratulating the Quinnipiac University men's hockey
team for winning the 2023 National Collegiate Athletic Association
Division I Men's Hockey National Championship.
Whereas, on Saturday, April 8, 2023, the Quinnipiac University men's hockey team
(referred to in this preamble as the ``Quinnipiac Bobcats'') won the
2023 National Collegiate Athletic Association (referred to in this
preamble as ``NCAA'') Men's Hockey Championship with a 3-2 win over the
Minnesota Golden Gophers, at Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida;
Whereas the 2023 national championship is the first national championship for
the Quinnipiac Bobcats;
Whereas the Quinnipiac Bobcats have demonstrated remarkably consistent success
in the past decade, and have made the NCAA Championship tournament in 8
of the last 10 seasons;
Whereas Jacob Quillan was named the Most Outstanding Player of the 2023 NCAA
Championship tournament, finishing the NCAA Championship tournament with
5 goals and setting a new Quinnipiac University record for most goals
scored in a single tournament;
Whereas Rand Pecknold, the head coach of the Quinnipiac Bobcats, has led the
team for 29 years and transformed the Quinnipiac Bobcats from a Division
II program to a National Division I powerhouse; and
Whereas the National Championship was played in front of 20,000 people in Tampa,
Florida, and was the most watched ``Frozen Four Final'' game in more
than 10 years: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Senate--
(1) commends the Quinnipiac University men's hockey team
for winning the 2023 National Collegiate Athletic Association
Division I Men's Hockey Championship;
(2) congratulates the fans, students, and faculty of
Quinnipiac University; and
(3) respectfully requests that the Secretary of the Senate
transmits an enrolled copy of this resolution to--
(A) the President of Quinnipiac University, Dr.

men's hockey team, Rand Pecknold.

S. RES. 19
Recognizing the importance of establishing a national ``Fred Korematsu
Day of Civil Liberties and the Constitution''.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
January 30, 2023
Ms. Hirono (for herself, Ms. Duckworth, Ms. Baldwin, Mr. Blumenthal,
Mr. Booker, Mr. Casey, Ms. Cortez Masto, Mr. Kaine, Mr. Menendez, Mr.
Merkley, Mrs. Murray, Mr. Padilla, Mr. Whitehouse, and Mr. Wyden)
submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee
on the Judiciary
_______________________________________________________________________
RESOLUTION
Recognizing the importance of establishing a national ``Fred Korematsu
Day of Civil Liberties and the Constitution''.
Whereas Fred Toyosaburo Korematsu was born on January 30, 1919, in Oakland,
California, to Japanese immigrant parents;
Whereas Fred Korematsu attempted to enlist in the United States National Guard
and the United States Coast Guard after the United States entered World
War II and was rejected because of his Japanese ancestry;
Whereas after the signing of Executive Order 9066 on February 19, 1942, by
President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, which authorized the forced
imprisonment of 120,000 people of Japanese descent into prison camps,
the majority of whom were American citizens, Fred Korematsu resisted
that infringement of American civil liberties and attempted to continue
his life as an American citizen until he was arrested, convicted, and
incarcerated at a concentration camp in Topaz, Utah;
Whereas, in 1944, Fred Korematsu appealed his case to the United States Supreme
Court, which ruled against him, declaring in Korematsu v. United States
that Japanese incarceration was a ``military necessity'' rather than an
egregious act of racial discrimination;
Whereas, in 1980, President Jimmy Carter created the Commission on Wartime
Relocation and Internment of Civilians (CWRIC), which concluded in 1983
that the forced removal and imprisonment of people of Japanese ancestry
was motivated by ``race prejudice, war hysteria, and a failure of
political leadership'';
Whereas during this time, researchers at the University of California, San Diego
uncovered documents from the United States Department of Justice in
which intelligence agencies, including the FBI, the FCC, and the Office
of Naval Intelligence, denied that Japanese-Americans ever committed
wrongdoing, but which were never presented to the United States Supreme
Court during Korematsu v. United States;
Whereas following the conclusion of the Commission on Wartime Relocation and
Internment of Civilians and the findings on governmental misconduct,
Fred Korematsu reopened his case, and on November 10, 1983, the United
States District Court of Northern California in San Francisco overturned
his conviction;
Whereas Fred Korematsu's courageously fought injustice by challenging the
constitutionality of Executive Order 9066, and his lawsuit remains an
important lesson about the fragility of individual civil liberties
during a time when the Nation is experiencing threats to its national
security;
Whereas Fred Korematsu continued to fight injustice and defend the liberties of
Muslim people when, in 2003, he warned in an amicus brief that the
United States extreme national security measures following the terrorist
attacks of September 11, 2001, were reminiscent of the mistakes of the
past that undermined American civil liberties, including the Alien and
Sedition Acts of 1798, the suspension of habeas corpus during the Civil
War, the prosecution of dissenters during World War I, the Red Scare of
1919-1920, the interment of people of Japanese descent during World War
II, and the era of loyalty oaths and McCarthyism during the Cold War;
Whereas the democratic character of the American people will be nourished and
enhanced by opportunities for civic education on the significant
challenges that have been posed to our Constitution;
Whereas a day of annual national reflection on how the Fred Korematsu quest for
justice is important to educating the American people about preserving
civil liberties and the principle of equality before the law; and
Whereas the States of California, Florida, Hawaii, Virginia, and Arizona have
already designated January 30 as Fred Korematsu Day to commemorate his
lifelong fight for civil liberties and the Constitution: Now, therefore,
be it
Resolved, That the Senate--
(1) recognizes the importance of establishing a national
``Fred Korematsu Day of Civil Liberties and the Constitution'';
and
(2) encourages all people to reflect on the importance of
political leadership and vigilance and on the values of justice
and civil rights during times of uncertainty and emergency.

S. RES. 190
Commemorating and supporting the goals of ``World Quantum Day''.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
May 2, 2023
Mr. Young (for himself and Ms. Hassan) submitted the following
resolution; which was considered and agreed to
_______________________________________________________________________
RESOLUTION
Commemorating and supporting the goals of ``World Quantum Day''.
Whereas quantum physics describes nature at the scale of atoms and subatomic
particles;
Whereas ``World Quantum Day'' is celebrated by scientists in more than 65
countries to promote public understanding of quantum science and
technology around the world;
Whereas the United States has recognized quantum information science and
technology as a key technology area for economic competition;
Whereas quantum physics helps us to understand and develop technologies critical
to everyday life, such as GPS, semiconductors, and lasers;
Whereas quantum information science is a multidisciplinary field, bridging
science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (referred to in this
preamble as ``STEM'');
Whereas STEM is a critical part of education for children, and aptitude in STEM
is essential for a knowledge-based society and for economic competition;
Whereas the United States needs to reinforce STEM education for all students in
order to better prepare children for future careers in emerging
technologies, including quantum, to succeed in a 21st-century economy;
Whereas STEM can be a fun and interesting part of education for children, and
learning about quantum principles of superposition and entanglement can
be an engaging way to teach children and attract the children to study
STEM;
Whereas the Planck constant is a fundamental constant governing quantum physics,
which is used to define universal measurements such as the kilogram; and
Whereas the rounded first significant digits of the Planck constant are 4.14,
and thus April 14 of each year is internationally recognized as ``World
Quantum Day'': Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Senate--
(1) supports the goals of ``World Quantum Day'' to
recognize and celebrate the role that quantum physics plays in
our daily lives; and
(2) encourages schools and educators to observe the day
with appropriate activities that teach students about quantum
physics and engage students in the study of science,
technology, engineering, and mathematics.

S. RES. 191
Recognizing widening threats to freedom of the press and free
expression around the world, reaffirming the vital role that a free and
independent press plays in combating the growing threats of
authoritarianism, misinformation, and disinformation, and reaffirming
freedom of the press as a priority of the United States Government in
promoting democracy, human rights, and good governance in commemoration
of World Press Freedom Day on May 3, 2023.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
May 3, 2023
Mr. Menendez (for himself, Mr. Rubio, Mr. Kaine, Mr. Cardin, Mr.
Merkley, and Mr. Van Hollen) submitted the following resolution; which
was referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations
_______________________________________________________________________
RESOLUTION
Recognizing widening threats to freedom of the press and free
expression around the world, reaffirming the vital role that a free and
independent press plays in combating the growing threats of
authoritarianism, misinformation, and disinformation, and reaffirming
freedom of the press as a priority of the United States Government in
promoting democracy, human rights, and good governance in commemoration
of World Press Freedom Day on May 3, 2023.
Whereas the First Amendment to the United States Constitution and various State
constitutions protect freedom of the press in the United States;
Whereas Thomas Jefferson, who championed the necessity of a free press for a
thriving democratic society, wisely declared, ``Our liberty depends on
the freedom of the press, and that cannot be limited without being
lost.'';
Whereas article 19 of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights,
adopted in Paris on December 10, 1948, states, ``Everyone has the right
to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to
hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart
information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.'';
Whereas, in 1993, the United Nations General Assembly proclaimed the third day
of May of each year to be ``World Press Freedom Day''--
(1) to celebrate the fundamental principles of press freedom;
(2) to evaluate press freedom around the world;
(3) to defend the media against attacks on its independence; and
(4) to pay tribute to journalists who have lost their lives while
working in their profession;
Whereas the Daniel Pearl Freedom of the Press Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-166)
expanded the examination of the freedom of the press around the world in
the annual Country Reports on Human Rights Practices published by the
Department of State;
Whereas, on December 18, 2013, and December 18, 2019, the United Nations General
Assembly adopted Resolution 68/163 and Resolution 74/157, respectively,
on the safety of journalists and the problem of impunity by
unequivocally condemning all attacks on, and violence against,
journalists and media workers, including torture, extrajudicial killing,
enforced disappearance, arbitrary detention, and intimidation and
harassment in conflict and non-conflict situations;
Whereas the United States Government has used the Global Magnitsky Human Rights
Accountability Act (subtitle F of title XII of Public Law 114-328) to
place targeted visa and economic sanctions on individuals, including for
their roles in the targeted killings of journalists;
Whereas, in an effort to combat attacks against journalists, Secretary of State
Antony J. Blinken in February 2021, announced the Khashoggi Ban, a new
policy allowing the Department of State to impose visa restrictions on
individuals who, acting on behalf of a foreign government, are believed
to have been directly engaged in serious, extraterritorial counter-
dissident activities, including activities that suppress, harass,
surveil, threaten, or harm journalists, activists, or other persons
perceived to be dissidents for their work;
Whereas Reporters Without Borders, in their compiled data from 2022, provide
alarming indications about growing divisions resulting from the spread
of disinformation with the potential to weaken democratic societies;
Whereas, according to Reporters Without Borders, a record total of 533
journalists were in prison as of December 1, 2022, and the annual number
of women journalists in prison has recently risen by nearly 30 percent;
Whereas Freedom House's Freedom in the World 2023 report marked the 17th
consecutive year of decline in global freedom, with an estimated 39
percent of the global population living in countries deemed ``Not
Free'';
Whereas worsening media freedom has been one of the key drivers of declines in
global freedom, including attacks and prosecutions against journalists,
pressure on media outlets, repressive regulatory and legal frameworks,
internet shutdowns, and blocks on online sources of information;
Whereas journalists and media staff are being murdered, attacked, harassed and
imprisoned around the world and the Committee to Protect Journalists has
reported that--
(1) at least 67 journalists and media workers were killed around the
world in 2022, representing a rise compared to the previous year of almost
50 percent;
(2) the vast majority of murders of journalists occur with impunity,
with nearly 80 percent of the perpetrators of 263 murders of journalists
from September 1, 2012, to August 31, 2022, facing no punishment;
(3) Iran, China, Burma, Turkey, and Belarus were responsible for nearly
60 percent of all imprisoned journalists; and
(4) journalists and media outlets around the world have been targeted
by government actors with sophisticated spyware products that pose a severe
risk to their security and the security of their sources and families;
Whereas, according to PEN America, at least 311 writers and public
intellectuals, including columnists and editorial journalists, were
imprisoned across 36 different countries during 2022;
Whereas, since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February
2022, Reporters Without Borders has documented attacks directly
targeting journalists, including--
(1) the killing of 8 journalists and media workers;
(2) the torture by electric shock, beatings, and mock executions of
journalists working for the international press;
(3) the targeted kidnappings of journalists and their families in
occupied regions of Ukraine to put pressure on their reporting; and
(4) the deliberate attacks targeting media facilities;
Whereas, in the Ukrainian territory of Crimea, Ukrainian journalists and
bloggers have repeatedly been threatened, arbitrarily arrested, and
tortured for resisting Russian occupation, such as the detentions of
Vladyslav Yesypenko Iryna Danylovych, Amet Suleimanov, Asan Akhmetov,
Marlen Asanov, Nariman Celal, Oleksiy Bessarabov, Osman Arifmemetov,
Remzi Bekirov, Ruslan Suleimanov, Rustem Sheikhaliev, Server Mustafayev,
Seyran Saliev, Timur Ibragimov, and Vilen Temeryanov;
Whereas media workers face heightened dangers in Russia, such as harassment,
repression, censorship, and imprisonment, with 22 journalists imprisoned
as of April 17, 2023, of whom 10 were arrested after the beginning of
the invasion of Ukraine, including--
(1) Evan Gershkovich, a United States reporter with the Wall Street
Journal, who was wrongfully detained on baseless espionage charges in March
and faces up to 20 years in jail;
(2) Ivan Safronov, a correspondent with Russian business dailies
Kommersant and Vedomosti, who was sentenced to 22 years in jail on treason
charges in September 2022;
(3) Maria Ponomarenko, a correspondent with the RusNews independent
news website, who was sentenced to 6 years in prison for spreading false
information about the Russian military on February 15, 2023;
(4) Sergey Mikhaylov, publisher of independent newspaper Listok, who
was arrested for spreading false information about the Russian military in
April 2022;
(5) Mikhail Afanasyev, editor-in-chief of the online magazine Novy
Fokus, who was arrested and charged with spreading false information about
the Russian military in April 2022;
(6) Novaya Gazeta, a landmark independent newspaper founded in 1993,
which--
G (A) suspended operations in Russia in March 2022 after receiving
warnings from the authorities citing the country's foreign agents law; and
G (B) was stripped of its print and online media licenses in
September 2022; and
(7) Meduza, a leading independent bilingual news website based outside
of Russia, which--
G (A) was designated by Russian authorities in January 2023 as an
``undesirable organization'' under the 2015 Undesirable Organization Law;
and
G (B) was banned from operating in the Russian Federation;
Whereas, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists, the Government of
the People's Republic of China had detained at least 43 journalists, as
of December 1, 2022, and has unleashed an onslaught of attacks on press
freedom in China and Hong Kong, including through--
(1) state-sponsored censorship and disinformation campaigns limiting
access to information about any dissent, including recent protests against
then-imposed COVID-19 restrictions, and by censoring protest-related
keywords on social media platforms;
(2) attacks on press freedom in Hong Kong, including the passage of the
National Security Law, which poses an existential threat to the city's
tradition of press freedom, and the arrest and subsequent conviction of
Jimmy Lai, owner of Hong Kong's largest media outlet, Apple Daily, and an
outspoken democracy advocate;
(3) arrests or other repressive actions against independent journalists
and others in mainland China attempting to share uncensored news or opinion
about current affairs, including Sophia Huang Xueqin, who has written about
women's rights and the protests in Hong Kong, and has been arbitrarily
detained for more than 500 days;
(4) the detention of journalists critical of the Government of China,
including Ruan Xiaohuan, who, after blogging about programming and
politics, was sentenced to a 7-year term of imprisonment in early 2023,
following 21 months of incommunicado detention; and
(5) the continued detention of Uyghur journalists, who account for
nearly 50 percent of imprisoned journalists in China, including Ilham
Tohti, founder of the news website Uighurbiz, who was detained in 2014 and
is serving a life sentence;
Whereas Afghanistan, under the control of the Taliban, remains one of the most
repressive countries for journalists, with journalists in Afghanistan
being subject to arrest, beatings, and arbitrary restrictions on their
work, including journalists Mortaza Behboudi and Khairullah Parhar, who
have been detained by the Taliban since January 2023;
Whereas Belarus has witnessed sweeping attacks against the press since Alexander
Lukashenka's fraudulent election in August 2020, with journalists and
media workers harassed, assaulted, imprisoned, or otherwise retaliated
against for their work, including--
(1) Katsiaryna Andreyeva, a correspondent with Poland-based independent
broadcaster Belsat TV, who, while serving a 2-year prison term for filming
a live broadcast of the violent dispersal of a protest against Lukashenko
in November 2020, was sentenced to 8 additional years in prison on treason
charges in July 2022;
(2) Ksenia Lutskina, a former correspondent for the state broadcaster
Belteleradio, who was sentenced to 8 years in prison on charges of
conspiring to seize state power in September 2022, and who is not receiving
appropriate medical care despite having a preexisting brain tumor that has
grown during her detention;
(3) Maryna Zolatava, chief editor of independent news website Tut.by,
who was sentenced to 12 years in prison on charges of incitement to hatred
and distributing materials calling for actions aimed at harming national
security in March 2023;
(4) Andrey Kuznechyk, a journalist who, while working for Radio Free
Europe/Radio Liberty, was detained in November 2021, and sentenced in June
2022 to 6 years in prison on charges of forming an extremist group; and
(5) Ihar Losik, another Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty journalist who
was arrested in June 2020, and sentenced in December 2021 to 15 years in
jail on bogus charges of preparation of actions that violate public order,
who attempted suicide in March 2023, and whose wife Darya was sentenced in
January 2023 to 2 years in prison on a charge of facilitating extremist
activity;
Whereas Reporters Without Borders asserts that due to oppression by the military
junta, ``press freedom in [Burma] has been set back ten years in ten
days'' after the February 1, 2021, military coup, including through--
(1) media workers forced into hiding and confronting censorship,
harassment, internet blocks, beatings, interrogations, threats, and
injuries at the hands of the military;
(2) multiple independent media outlets had forced to cease operations
or close altogether or had their licenses revoked by the military; and
(3) journalists being detained at alarming rates, with 75 journalists
in prison as of April 17, 2023;
Whereas Cuba remains a highly restricted environment for independent media,
marked by internet restrictions and constant harassment of journalists
and news outlets, including journalist Lazaro Yuri Valle Roca who was
sentenced to 5 years in prison for ``enemy propaganda and resistance''
in July 2022, a clear sign that the Cuban regime continues using the
extreme measure of jailing journalists to maintain its regime of
censorship;
Whereas Egypt's restrictions on the media have accelerated under President Abdel
Fattah el-Sisi since 2013, with at least 21 journalists imprisoned as of
December 1, 2022, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists,
including--
(1) Alaa Abd El Fattah, a blogger sentenced to 5 years in prison for
``broadcasting false news'' who embarked on a hunger strike on April 2,
2022, to protest his mistreatment, which he escalated to a near-fatal
``water strike'' that prompted a forced medical intervention by prison
officials upon the start of the United Nations COP 27 climate summit in
Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt on November 6, 2022;
(2) Hisham Abdel Aziz, an Al Jazeera journalist who is on the verge of
losing his eyesight following untreated glaucoma while in prison; and
(3) Mahmoud Abou Zeid, who was released after 5 years in prison, but
remains subject to a 5-year probation term that requires his continuous
presence at a police station between 6:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. daily;
Whereas assaults on press freedom in El Salvador imperil its fragile democracy
and include both verbal attacks on journalists by political leaders and
the use of state power to intimidate independent media, such as--
(1) the ongoing criminal investigation against outlet El Faro, which
was launched after it reported damaging information about the government,
and which led the media outlet to relocate most of its operations to Costa
Rica following harassment by Salvadorian police;
(2) the online attacks and threats to journalists from the outlet
Revista Factum, which has been banned from press conferences at the
presidential residence; and
(3) the adoption of a new law that imposes prison sentences ranging
from 10 to 15 years for certain reporting on criminal groups, such as
gangs;
Whereas, in India, government authorities frequently impose internet and
communication blackouts in certain areas, and have recently detained and
charged journalists covering political demonstrations, called for the
temporary blockage of journalists and media accounts on Twitter, and
subjected journalists to searches and arrests, including--
(1) the February 2023 raid on the British Broadcasting Company offices
in Delhi and Mumbai, during which tax authorities seized employees' laptops
and mobile phones, following an Income Tax Department order the previous
month, widely viewed as an attempt to censor the outlet following the
release of a documentary on key political figures in India; and
(2) the house arrest of Gautam Navlakha, a journalist and activist, who
has been awaiting trial since April 2020 on charges of ``instigating caste
violence'';
Whereas Pakistan maintains high levels of media censorship and impunity persists
in cases of killings and physical attacks on journalists who criticize
the military and state institutions, including--
(1) the arrest of journalists Imran Riaz Khan, in July 2022, under
sedition charges for his criticism of the military; and
(2) the assault of Ayaz Amir, an employee of Dunya News, on July 1,
2022, days after he had made comments criticizing former Prime Minister
Imran Khan and the military;
Whereas Iran was the leading jailer of journalists and the most prolific jailer
of female journalists in 2022, subjecting media workers to aggressive
intimidation, arbitrary summons, arrests, travel bans, conditional
releases, torture, inhumane treatment, and unsubstantiated and unjust

S. RES. 192
Recognizing April 30, 2023, as ``El Dia de los Ninos-Celebrating Young
Americans''.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
May 3, 2023
Mr. Menendez (for himself and Mr. Crapo) submitted the following
resolution; which was considered and agreed to
_______________________________________________________________________
RESOLUTION
Recognizing April 30, 2023, as ``El Dia de los Ninos-Celebrating Young
Americans''.
Whereas, each year in the United States, El Dia de los Ninos-Celebrating Young
Americans is recognized as a day to affirm and recognize the importance
of young children and adolescents in the United States;
Whereas children and adolescents represent the hopes and dreams of the people of
the United States, and the well-being of children and adolescents is
emphasized as a top priority in the United States;
Whereas, according to data of the Bureau of the Census, the Hispanic population
in the United States is the youngest major racial or ethnic group in the
United States, as--
(1) more than 18,800,000 Hispanics in the United States, a group that
represents nearly \1/3\ of the Hispanic population in the United States,
are younger than 18 years of age; and
(2) in 2019, nearly 16,600,000 Hispanics in the United States, a group
that represents more than \1/4\ of the Hispanic population in the United
States, were individuals between 18 and 34 years of age;
Whereas the Hispanic population in the United States continues to grow and is a
significant part of the workforce in the United States, and children in
the Hispanic population will be consumers, taxpayers, and voters in the
future;
Whereas, as the United States becomes more culturally and ethnically diverse,
the people of the United States must strive to bring about cultural
understanding and celebrate a tradition that honors all children and
adolescents on El Dia de los Ninos-Celebrating Young Americans, a day
that acknowledges and shares traditions and customs with all people in
the United States;
Whereas parents are at the center of teaching children about family values,
morality, life preparation, health, survival, and culture;
Whereas the designation of a day of special recognition to honor children and
adolescents in the United States--
(1) will help affirm the significance of family, education, health, and
community among the people of the United States; and
(2) will provide an opportunity for those children and adolescents to
reflect on their futures, to articulate their aspirations, to find comfort
and security in the support of their family members, communities, and
schools, and to grow to contribute to the United States; and
Whereas April 30, 2023, would be an appropriate day to recognize as ``El Dia de
los Ninos-Celebrating Young Americans'': Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Senate--
(1) recognizes April 30, 2023, as ``El Dia de los Ninos-
Celebrating Young Americans'';
(2) encourages the people of the United States--
(A) to nurture and invest in children and
adolescents in order to preserve and enhance economic
prosperity, democracy, and the free and open exchange
of ideas, which are concepts that are essential to the
spirit of the United States; and
(B) to celebrate the gifts of children and
adolescents and help children and adolescents take
their rightful place in the future of the United
States; and
(3) calls on the people of the United States to join with
children, families, communities, schools, churches, cities, and
States across the United States to observe El Dia de los Ninos-
Celebrating Young Americans with appropriate ceremonies,
including activities that--
(A) center on children and are free or of minimal
cost so as to facilitate full participation by all
people;
(B) uplift and help children positively envision a
path to their futures by allowing children to voice
their hopes and dreams;
(C) offer opportunities for children of diverse
backgrounds to learn about the cultures of one another
and to share ideas;
(D) include family members, especially extended and
elderly family members, so as to--
(i) promote understanding and communication
among generations within families; and
(ii) enable young people to learn from, and
respect and benefit from the experiences of,
their family elders;
(E) enable diverse communities to build
relationships of understanding; and
(F) provide children with safe schools, homes, and
communities that give them the long-term support they
need to learn, develop, and become confident young
adults who are ready and eager to believe in and
contribute to the United States.

1st Session
S. RES. 193
Designating April 2023 as ``Second Chance Month''.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
May 3, 2023
Ms. Klobuchar (for herself and Mr. Cramer) submitted the following
resolution; which was considered and agreed to
_______________________________________________________________________
RESOLUTION
Designating April 2023 as ``Second Chance Month''.
Whereas every individual is endowed with human dignity and value;
Whereas redemption and second chances are values of the United States;
Whereas millions of citizens of the United States have a criminal record;
Whereas hundreds of thousands of individuals return to their communities from
Federal and State prisons every year;
Whereas many individuals returning from Federal and State prisons have paid
their debt for committing crimes but still face significant legal and
societal barriers (referred to in this preamble as ``collateral
consequences'');
Whereas collateral consequences for an individual returning from a Federal or
State prison are often mandatory and take effect automatically,
regardless of--
(1) whether there is a nexus between the crime and public safety;
(2) the seriousness of the crime;
(3) the time that has passed since the individual committed the crime;
or
(4) the efforts of the individual to make amends or earn back the trust
of the public;
Whereas, for individuals returning to their communities from Federal and State
prisons, gaining meaningful employment is one of the most significant
predictors of successful reentry and has been shown to reduce future
criminal activity;
Whereas many individuals who have been incarcerated struggle to find employment
and access capital to start a small business because of collateral
consequences, which are often not directly related to the offenses the
individuals committed or any proven public safety benefit;
Whereas many States have laws that prohibit an individual with a criminal record
from working in certain industries or obtaining professional licenses;
Whereas, in addition to employment, education has been shown to be a significant
predictor of successful reentry for individuals returning from Federal
and State prisons;
Whereas an individual with a criminal record often has a lower level of
educational attainment than the general population and has significant
difficulty acquiring admission to, and funding for, educational
programs;
Whereas an individual who has been convicted of certain crimes is often barred
from receiving the financial aid necessary to acquire additional skills
and knowledge;
Whereas an individual with a criminal record--
(1) faces collateral consequences in securing a place to live; and
(2) is often barred from seeking access to public housing;
Whereas collateral consequences prevent millions of individuals in the United
States from contributing fully to their families and communities;
Whereas collateral consequences can contribute to recidivism, which increases
crime and victimization and decreases public safety;
Whereas collateral consequences have particularly impacted underserved
communities of color and community rates of employment, housing
stability, and recidivism;
Whereas the inability to find gainful employment and other collateral
consequences inhibit the economic mobility of an individual with a
criminal record, which can negatively impact the well-being of the
children and family of the individual for generations;
Whereas the bipartisan First Step Act of 2018 (Public Law 115-391; 132 Stat.
5194) was signed into law on December 21, 2018, to increase
opportunities for individuals incarcerated in Federal prisons to
participate in meaningful recidivism reduction programs and prepare for
their second chances;
Whereas the programs authorized by the Second Chance Act of 2007 (Public Law
110-199; 122 Stat. 657)--
(1) have provided reentry services to more than 164,000 individuals in
49 States and the District of Columbia since the date of enactment of the
Act; and
(2) were reauthorized by the First Step Act of 2018 (Public Law 115-
391; 132 Stat. 5194);
Whereas the anniversary of the death of Charles Colson, who used his second
chance following his incarceration for a Watergate-related crime to
found Prison Fellowship, the largest program in the United States that
provides outreach to prisoners, former prisoners, and their families,
falls on April 21; and
Whereas the designation of April as ``Second Chance Month'' may contribute to--
(1) increased public awareness about--
G (A) the impact of collateral consequences; and
G (B) the need for closure for individuals with a criminal record
who have paid their debt; and
(2) opportunities for individuals, employers, congregations, and
communities to extend second chances to those individuals: Now, therefore,
be it
Resolved, That the Senate--
(1) designates April 2023 as ``Second Chance Month'';
(2) honors the work of communities, governmental
institutions, nonprofit organizations, congregations,
employers, and individuals to remove unnecessary legal and
societal barriers that prevent individuals with criminal
records from becoming productive members of society; and
(3) calls upon the people of the United States to observe
``Second Chance Month'' through actions and programs that--
(A) promote awareness of those unnecessary legal
and social barriers; and
(B) provide closure for individuals with criminal
records who have paid their debts to the community.

S. RES. 194
Designating May 5, 2023, as the ``National Day of Awareness for Missing
and Murdered Native Women and Girls''.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
May 3, 2023
Mr. Daines (for himself, Mr. Tester, Mr. Grassley, Mr. Cramer, Mr.
Hoeven, Mr. Lankford, Mr. Ricketts, Mr. Rounds, Mr. Moran, Mr. Schatz,
Mr. Heinrich, Mr. Padilla, Ms. Sinema, Ms. Cantwell, Ms. Cortez Masto,
Mr. Lujan, Ms. Smith, Ms. Hirono, Mr. Fetterman, Mr. Wyden, Ms.
Murkowski, Mrs. Murray, and Mr. Sullivan) submitted the following
resolution; which was considered and agreed to
_______________________________________________________________________
RESOLUTION
Designating May 5, 2023, as the ``National Day of Awareness for Missing
and Murdered Native Women and Girls''.
Whereas American Indians and Alaska Natives are 2.5 times more likely to
experience violent crimes and at least 2 times more likely to experience
rape or sexual assault crimes compared to any other group of people in
the United States;
Whereas, according to a study commissioned by the Department of Justice, in some
Tribal communities, American Indian women face murder rates that are
more than 10 times the national average murder rate;
Whereas, according to the most recently available data from the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention, in 2017, homicide was the sixth leading
cause of death for American Indian and Alaska Native females between 1
and 44 years of age;
Whereas the Hawaii State Commission on the Status of Women released reports
finding that 64 percent of trafficking survivors in Hawaii identified as
being Native Hawaiian;
Whereas little data exists on the number of missing American Indian, Alaska
Native, and Native Hawaiian women in the United States;
Whereas, on July 5, 2013, Hanna Harris, a member of the Northern Cheyenne Tribe,
was reported missing by her family in Lame Deer, Montana;
Whereas the body of Hanna Harris was found 5 days after she went missing;
Whereas Hanna Harris was determined to have been raped and murdered, and the
individuals accused of committing those crimes were convicted;
Whereas the case of Hanna Harris is an example of many similar cases; and
Whereas Hanna Harris was born on May 5, 1992: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Senate--
(1) designates May 5, 2023, as the ``National Day of
Awareness for Missing and Murdered Native Women and Girls'';
and
(2) calls on the people of the United States and interested
groups--
(A) to commemorate the lives of missing and
murdered American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native
Hawaiian women whose cases are documented and
undocumented in public records and the media; and
(B) to demonstrate solidarity with the families of
victims in light of those tragedies.

S. RES. 195
Congratulating the students, parents, teachers, and leaders of charter

education, and supporting the ideals and goals of the 24th annual
National Charter Schools Week, to be held May 7 through May 13, 2023.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
May 4, 2023
Mr. Scott of South Carolina (for himself, Mr. Bennet, Mr. Johnson, Mr.
Lankford, Mr. Carper, Mr. Risch, Mr. Cornyn, Mrs. Britt, Mr. Cassidy,
Mr. Hagerty, Mrs. Feinstein, Mr. Crapo, Mrs. Blackburn, Mr. Rubio, Mr.
Scott of Florida, Mr. Cruz, Ms. Hassan, Mr. Tuberville, Mr. Tillis, Mr.
Wicker, Mr. Braun, Mr. Cramer, Mr. Young, Mr. Hickenlooper, and Mr.
Booker) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the
Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions
_______________________________________________________________________
RESOLUTION
Congratulating the students, parents, teachers, and leaders of charter
schools across the United States for making ongoing contributions to
education, and supporting the ideals and goals of the 24th annual
National Charter Schools Week, to be held May 7 through May 13, 2023.
Whereas charter schools are public schools that do not charge tuition and enroll
any student who wants to attend, often through a random lottery when the
demand for enrollment is outmatched by the supply of available charter
school seats;
Whereas high-performing public charter schools deliver a high-quality public
education and challenge all students to reach their potential for
academic success;
Whereas high-quality public charter schools promote innovation and excellence in
public education;
Whereas public charter schools throughout the United States can provide millions
of families with diverse and innovative educational options for the
children of those families;
Whereas high-performing public charter schools and charter management
organizations are increasing student achievement and attendance rates at
institutions of higher education;
Whereas public charter schools are authorized by a designated entity and--
(1) respond to the needs of communities, families, and students in the
United States; and
(2) promote the principles of quality, accountability, choice, high-
performance, and innovation;
Whereas, in exchange for flexibility and autonomy, public charter schools are
held accountable by the authorizers of the charter schools for improving
student achievement and for sound and transparent financial and
operational management;
Whereas public charter schools are required to meet the student achievement
accountability requirements under the Elementary and Secondary Education
Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 6301 et seq.) in the same manner as traditional
public schools;
Whereas public charter schools often set high expectations for students to
ensure that the charter schools are of high quality and truly
accountable to the public;
Whereas 44 States, the District of Columbia, Guam, and Puerto Rico have public
charter schools;
Whereas, as of the 2020-2021 school year, more than 7,800 public charter schools
served approximately 3,700,000 children;
Whereas enrollment in public charter schools grew from 400,000 students in 2001
to 3,700,000 students in 2020, a more than eightfold increase in 20
years;
Whereas in the United States--
(1) in 261 school districts, more than 10 percent of public school
students are enrolled in public charter schools; and
(2) in at least 22 school districts, at least 30 percent of public
school students are enrolled in public charter schools;
Whereas high-quality public charter schools improve the achievement of students
enrolled in the charter schools and collaborate with traditional public
schools to improve public education for all students;
Whereas public charter schools--
(1) give parents the freedom to choose public schools;
(2) routinely measure parental satisfaction levels; and
(3) must prove the ongoing success of the charter schools to parents,
policymakers, and the communities served by the charter schools or risk
closure;
Whereas a 2015 report from the Center for Research on Education Outcomes at
Stanford University found significant improvements for students at urban
charter schools, and, when compared to peers in traditional public
schools, each year those students completed the equivalent of 28 more
days of learning in reading and 40 more days of learning in math;
Whereas parental demand for charter schools is high, and there was nearly 5
percent growth in charter school enrollment between the 2017-2018 and
2018-2019 school years; and
Whereas the 24th annual National Charter Schools Week is scheduled to be
celebrated the week of May 7 through May 13, 2023: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Senate--
(1) congratulates the students, families, teachers,
leaders, and staff of public charter schools across the United
States for--
(A) making ongoing contributions to public
education;
(B) making important strides in closing the
academic achievement gap in schools in the United
States, particularly in schools with some of the most
disadvantaged students in both rural and urban
communities; and
(C) strengthening the public school system
throughout the United States;
(2) supports the ideals and goals of the 24th annual
National Charter Schools Week, a week-long celebration to be
held May 7 through May 13, 2023, in communities throughout the
United States; and
(3) encourages the people of the United States to hold
appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities during
National Charter Schools Week to demonstrate support for high-
quality public charter schools.

S. RES. 196
Recognizing the cultural and historical significance of the Cinco de
Mayo holiday.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
May 4, 2023
Mr. Menendez (for himself and Mr. Cornyn) submitted the following
resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations
_______________________________________________________________________
RESOLUTION
Recognizing the cultural and historical significance of the Cinco de
Mayo holiday.
Whereas May 5, or ``Cinco de Mayo'' in Spanish, is celebrated each year as a
date of importance by Mexican and Mexican-American communities;
Whereas the Cinco de Mayo holiday commemorates May 5, 1862, the date on which
Mexicans defeated the French at the Battle of Puebla, 1 of the many
battles that the Mexican people won in their long and brave fight for
independence, freedom, and democracy;
Whereas the victory of Mexico over France at the Battle of Puebla represented a
historic triumph for the Mexican government during the Franco-Mexican
war, fought between 1861 and 1867, and bolstered the resistance
movement;
Whereas the success of Mexico at the Battle of Puebla reinvigorated the spirits
of the Mexican people and provided a renewed sense of unity and
strength;
Whereas the French army, which had not experienced defeat against any of the
finest troops of Europe in more than half a century, sustained a
disastrous loss at the hands of an outnumbered and ill-equipped, but
highly spirited and courageous, Mexican army;
Whereas the courageous spirit that Mexican General Ignacio Zaragoza and his men
displayed during the historic Battle of Puebla can never be forgotten;
Whereas, in a larger sense, Cinco de Mayo symbolizes the right of a free people
to self-determination, just as Benito Juarez, the president of Mexico
during the Battle of Puebla, once said, ``El respeto al derecho ajeno es
la paz'', meaning ``respect for the rights of others is peace'';
Whereas the sacrifice of Mexican fighters was instrumental in keeping Mexico
from falling under European domination while, in the United States, the
Union Army battled Confederate forces in the Civil War; and
Whereas Cinco de Mayo--
(1) serves as a reminder that the foundation of the United States was
built by people from many countries and diverse cultures who were willing
to fight and die for freedom;
(2) serves as a reminder of the close ties between the people of Mexico
and the people of the United States;
(3) encourages the celebration of a legacy of strong leaders and a
sense of vibrancy in communities; and
(4) serves as a reminder to provide more opportunity for future
generations: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Senate--
(1) recognizes the historic struggle of the people of
Mexico for independence and freedom, which Cinco de Mayo
commemorates; and
(2) encourages the people of the United States to observe
Cinco de Mayo with appropriate ceremonies and activities.

S. RES. 197
Designating the week of May 1, 2023, through May 7, 2023, as ``Tardive
Dyskinesia Awareness Week''.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
May 4, 2023
Mr. Mullin submitted the following resolution; which was referred to
the Committee on the Judiciary
_______________________________________________________________________
RESOLUTION
Designating the week of May 1, 2023, through May 7, 2023, as ``Tardive
Dyskinesia Awareness Week''.
Whereas many people with serious, chronic mental illness, such as schizophrenia
and other schizoaffective disorders, bipolar disorder, or severe
depression, require treatment with medications that work as dopamine
receptor blocking agents (referred to in this preamble as ``DRBAs''),
including antipsychotics;
Whereas many people who have gastrointestinal disorders, including
gastroparesis, nausea, and vomiting also require treatment with DRBAs;
Whereas, while ongoing treatment with DRBAs can be lifesaving, for some people
it can also lead to Tardive Dyskinesia;
Whereas Tardive Dyskinesia is a movement disorder that is characterized by
random, involuntary, and uncontrolled movements of different muscles in
the face, trunk, and extremities;
Whereas, in some cases, Tardive Dyskinesia may--
(1) cause people to experience movement of the arms, legs, fingers, and
toes;
(2) affect the tongue, lips, and jaw; and
(3) cause swaying movements of the trunk or hips and may impact the
muscles associated with walking, speech, eating, and breathing;
Whereas Tardive Dyskinesia can develop months, years, or decades after a person
starts taking DRBAs and even after a person has discontinued use of
those medications;
Whereas not everyone who takes a DRBA develops Tardive Dyskinesia, but if
Tardive Dyskinesia develops, it is often persistent;
Whereas common risk factors for Tardive Dyskinesia include advanced age and
alcoholism or other substance use disorders;
Whereas postmenopausal women and people with a mood disorder are also at higher
risk of developing Tardive Dyskinesia;
Whereas a person is at higher risk for Tardive Dyskinesia after taking DRBAs for
3 months, but the longer the person is on these medications, the higher
the risk of developing Tardive Dyskinesia;
Whereas studies suggest that the overall risk of developing Tardive Dyskinesia
after taking DRBAs is between 10 and 30 percent;
Whereas it is estimated that over 600,000 people in the United States suffer
from Tardive Dyskinesia;
Whereas, according to the National Alliance for Mental Illness, 1 in every 4
patients receiving long-term treatment with an antipsychotic medication
will experience Tardive Dyskinesia;
Whereas years of difficult and challenging research have resulted in recent
scientific breakthroughs, with 2 new treatments for Tardive Dyskinesia
approved by the Food and Drug Administration of the Department of Health
and Human Services;
Whereas Tardive Dyskinesia is often unrecognized, and patients suffering from
the illness are commonly misdiagnosed;
Whereas regular screening for Tardive Dyskinesia in patients taking DRBA
medications is recommended by the American Psychiatric Association;
Whereas patients suffering from Tardive Dyskinesia often suffer embarrassment
due to abnormal and involuntary movements, which leads them to withdraw
from society and increasingly isolate themselves as the disease
progresses;
Whereas caregivers of patients with Tardive Dyskinesia face many challenges and
are often responsible for the overall care of the Tardive Dyskinesia
patient;
Whereas the Senate can raise awareness of Tardive Dyskinesia in the public and
medical community: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Senate--
(1) designates the week of May 1, 2023, through May 7,
2023, as ``Tardive Dyskinesia Awareness Week''; and
(2) encourages each individual in the United States to
become better informed about and aware of Tardive Dyskinesia.

1st Session
S. RES. 198
Designating the week of April 23 through April 29, 2023, as ``National
Water Week''.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
May 4, 2023
Mr. Sullivan (for himself, Mr. Padilla, Mr. Carper, Mr. Boozman, Ms.
Lummis, Mr. Wicker, and Mr. Warnock) submitted the following
resolution; which was considered and agreed to
_______________________________________________________________________
RESOLUTION
Designating the week of April 23 through April 29, 2023, as ``National
Water Week''.
Whereas each community in the United States, both large and small, and urban,
rural, and Tribal, deserves to have access to affordable, safe, and
clean drinking water, sanitation, and other critical water
infrastructure;
Whereas more than 2,000,000 people in the United States lack access to running
water, indoor plumbing, or wastewater services;
Whereas small, rural, and disadvantaged community water systems struggle to make
needed investments while keeping rates affordable;
Whereas Federal investment in core drinking water, wastewater, stormwater
capture, sustainable desalination, and water recycling programs allow
local utilities and the customers of those local utilities to have the
resources to affordably improve in water reliability and meet Federal
regulatory obligations;
Whereas source control is a critical first step to reducing emerging
contaminants from entering water systems and the environment, along with
advancing the state of the science on the risks of those contaminants,
which is essential to protect public health;
Whereas water infrastructure projects often rely on specific products and
technologies, and substitutions may not be readily available, so it is
critical to consider the realities unique to the water sector, and the
near-term challenges that water infrastructure projects face;
Whereas countless disadvantaged communities in the United States struggle to
make needed investments in critical water infrastructure while
simultaneously keeping rates affordable;
Whereas water research helps solve some of the most pressing challenges for the
water sector, such as--
(1) aging infrastructure;
(2) emerging contaminants;
(3) resiliency to extreme weather;
(4) drought and water scarcity; and
(5) significant shifts in population;
Whereas research and development aimed at finding cost-effective solutions to
the most pressing challenges for the water sector--
(1) create more resilient and effective water systems;
(2) create new jobs and support thriving communities nationwide; and
(3) result in improved public health and safety and promote equitable
solutions throughout the United States; and
Whereas Congress and the executive branch should assist water utilities to
ensure that those communities can continue to fulfill their core mission
of protecting public health and the environment while supporting local
economic growth by addressing challenges related to--
(1) managing aging water infrastructure, and escalating operation and
maintenance costs, supply chain disruptions, and workforce shortages;
(2) addressing growing water quality impairments and regulations from
emerging contaminants and nutrients; and
(3) ensuring proper climate adaptation, system resiliency, and security
measures are in place: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That Congress hereby designates the week of April 23
through April 29, 2023, as ``National Water Week''.

1st Session
S. RES. 199
Designating May 5, 2023, as ``United States Foreign Service Day'' in
recognition of the men and women who have served, or are presently
serving, in the Foreign Service of the United States, and honoring the
members of the Foreign Service who have given their lives in the line
of duty.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
March 4, 2023
Mr. Sullivan (for himself and Mr. Van Hollen) submitted the following
resolution; which was considered and agreed to
_______________________________________________________________________
RESOLUTION
Designating May 5, 2023, as ``United States Foreign Service Day'' in
recognition of the men and women who have served, or are presently
serving, in the Foreign Service of the United States, and honoring the
members of the Foreign Service who have given their lives in the line
of duty.
Whereas the Foreign Service of the United States (referred to in this preamble
as the ``Foreign Service'') was established through the enactment of the
Act entitled ``An Act for the reorganization and improvement of the
Foreign Service of the United States, and for other purposes.'',
approved May 24, 1924 (43 Stat. 140, chapter 182) (commonly known as the
``Rogers Act of 1924''), and is now celebrating its 99th anniversary;
Whereas the Rogers Act of 1924 established a career organization based on
competitive examination and merit promotion;
Whereas, in 2022, nearly 16,000 men and women of the Foreign Service were
serving at home and abroad;
Whereas Foreign Service personnel are supported by more than 60,000 locally
engaged staff in nearly 300 embassies and consulates, who provide unique
expertise and crucial links to host countries;
Whereas Foreign Service personnel comprise employees from the Department of
State, the United States Agency for International Development, the
Foreign Commercial Service, the Foreign Agricultural Service, the Animal
and Plant Health Inspection Service, and the United States Agency for
Global Media;
Whereas the diplomatic, consular, communications, trade, development, security,
public diplomacy, and numerous other functions that Foreign Service
personnel perform constitute the first and most cost-effective
instrument of the United States to protect and promote United States
interests abroad;
Whereas the men and women of the Foreign Service and their families are
increasingly exposed to risks and danger, even in times of peace, and
many have died in the service of the United States;
Whereas employees of the Foreign Service work daily--
(1) to ensure the national security of the United States;
(2) to provide assistance to United States citizens overseas;
(3) to preserve peace, freedom, and economic prosperity around the
world;
(4) to promote the ideals and values of the United States, human
rights, freedom, equal opportunities for women and girls, rule of law, and
democracy;
(5) to promote transparency, provide accurate information, and combat
disinformation;
(6) to cultivate new markets for United States products and services
and develop new investment opportunities that create jobs in the United
States and promote prosperity;
(7) to promote economic development, reduce poverty, end hunger and
malnutrition, fight disease, combat international crime and illegal drugs,
and address environmental degradation; and
(8) to provide emergency and humanitarian assistance to respond to
crises around the world;
Whereas the foreign affairs agencies and the American Foreign Service
Association have observed Foreign Service Day in May for many years; and
Whereas it is both appropriate and just for the United States as a whole to
recognize the dedication of the men and women of the Foreign Service and
to honor the members of the Foreign Service who have given their lives
in the loyal pursuit of their duties and responsibilities representing
the interests of the United States and of its citizens: Now, therefore,
be it
Resolved, That the Senate--
(1) honors the men and women who have served, or are
presently serving, in the Foreign Service of the United States
for their dedicated and important service to the United States;
(2) calls on the people of the United States to reflect on
the service and sacrifice of past, present, and future
employees of the Foreign Service of the United States, wherever
they serve, with appropriate ceremonies and activities; and
(3) designates May 5, 2023, as ``United States Foreign
Service Day'' to commemorate the 99th anniversary of the
Foreign Service of the United States.

_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
January 31, 2023
Mr. Cardin (for himself, Mr. Young, Mr. Merkley, and Ms. Collins)
submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee
on Foreign Relations
_______________________________________________________________________
RESOLUTION
Condemning the coup that took place on February 1, 2021, in Burma and
the Burmese military's detention of civilian leaders, calling for an
immediate and unconditional release of all those detained, promoting
accountability and justice for those killed by the Burmese military,
and calling for those elected to serve in parliament to resume their
duties without impediment, and for other purposes.
Whereas, on February 1, 2021, the Burmese military and its aligned Union
Solidarity and Development Party (USDP) conducted a coup against the
civilian government hours before Parliament was to convene in a new
session, resulting in the military junta illegally detaining State
Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi, President Win Myint, and members of
Parliament, as well as pro-democracy activists from the 88 Generation
and other civil society leaders;
Whereas, since February 1, 2021, the Burmese military has detained more than
13,000 people for exercising their rights of freedom of speech and
assembly and killed more than 2,800 civilians, including children;
Whereas the Burmese military put the democratically elected civilian leadership
of Burma, including President Win Myint and State Counsellor Aung San
Suu Kyi, through sham trials for fabricated crimes and sentenced them to
lengthy prison terms in order to remove them from political competition;
Whereas Aung San Suu Kyi was sentenced to 33 years in prison for multiple
spurious charges;
Whereas the Burmese military has become the world's second largest detainer of
journalists, with over 100 journalists imprisoned since the coup;
Whereas the Burmese military's actions have driven hundreds of thousands from
their homes and driven thousands to flee across Burma's borders into
Thailand, India, and Bangladesh;
Whereas fighting between the Burmese military and several ethnic armed groups
continues, with government forces committing increasingly violent abuses
against ethnic Karen, Kayah, Kachin, Chin, Rakhine, Shan, and Rohingya
minority populations;
Whereas the Burmese military restricted freedom of movement, telecommunications,
and the media, limiting access to information to and from Burma during
the COVID-19 pandemic, which exacerbated the political crisis initiated
by the February 1, 2021 coup;
Whereas senior generals of the Burmese military have been sanctioned by the
United States Government for serious human rights abuses and for their
role in the coup and are subject to ongoing investigations into their
conduct by the International Criminal Court and the International Court
of Justice;
Whereas, on January 28, 2021, the Union Election Commission rejected allegations
by the Burmese military that fraud played a significant role in
determining the outcome of the November 2020 elections;
Whereas Burma's November 2020 elections resulted in the National League for
Democracy party securing enough seats in Parliament to form the next
government;
Whereas Burmese military general Min Aung Hlaing has announced his intentions
for Burmese parliamentary elections to be held by August 1, 2023;
Whereas, without full participation from relevant political forces in the
country, including civil society groups and opposition parties, and
without a robust presence of credible international observers, the
results of any parliamentary election run by the military regime will
not gain widespread acceptance, domestically or internationally;
Whereas, in July 2022, the Burmese military executed four male activists accused
of aiding insurgents to fight Burma's army following secret trials;
Whereas, in response to the Civil Disobedience Movement's opposition protests,
the Burmese military has used live fire, water cannons, and rubber
bullets against peace protestors;
Whereas, in December 2021, violent reprisals against peaceful protests resulted
in the torture and subsequent deaths of over 40 civilians in Sagaing;
Whereas the Burmese military has a long history of committing atrocities against
the people of Burma, including the targeting of specific ethnic groups;
Whereas, as of October 2022, over 943,000 stateless Rohingya refugees reside in
Ukhiya and Teknaf Upazilas, Bangladesh, the vast majority of whom live
in 34 extremely congested camps;
Whereas, on March 21, 2022, the United States Secretary of State formally
determined that members of the Burmese military committed genocide and
crimes against humanity against Rohingya in 2016 and 2017;
Whereas the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and ASEAN member
states continue to play an important role in addressing the crisis in
Burma, including through the provision of humanitarian assistance in
Burma and by preventing junta leadership from participating in ASEAN
meetings, absent progress on the 5 Point Consensus;
Whereas United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Situation of Human Rights in
Myanmar Thomas H. Andrews and Special Envoy of the Secretary-General on
Myanmar Noeleen Heyzer continue to provide ongoing reporting and
analysis of the dire and deteriorating situation for the men, women, and
children of Burma, inside the country and as refugees, including through
presentations to the United Nations Human Rights Council and the United
Nations General Assembly, and through reports that document the
illegitimacy of the Burmese junta and urge member states to engage in
coordinated sanctions and weapon embargos against the junta;
Whereas the Independent Investigative Mechanism for Myanmar continues to
collect, consolidate, preserve, and analyze evidence of serious
international crimes and violations of international law committed in
Myanmar since 2011, and helps to facilitate and expedite fair and
independent criminal proceedings; and
Whereas, in December 2022, the United Nations Security Council adopted
Resolution 2669 on Burma, the first resolution on Burma since the
country was admitted as a member state in 1948, calling for the
immediate end to all forms of violence and urging restraint and the
release of all prisoners: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Senate--
(1) supports the people of Burma in their quest for
democracy, sustainable peace, and genuine ethnic and religious
reconciliation, and the realization of internationally
recognized human rights for all, including for ethnic and
religious groups whose human rights have been violated
repeatedly and who have been disenfranchised historically;
(2) calls on the Burmese military to--
(A) immediately and unconditionally release all
political prisoners detained as a result of the coup on
February 1, 2021;
(B) immediately restore all forms of communication,
including access to the internet without surveillance;
(C) immediately end the use of violence and allow
for a legal process for accountability and justice for
those unlawfully detained, injured, and killed by the
Burmese military;
(D) remove all impediments to free travel that have
been imposed as a result of the coup;
(E) return to power all members of the civilian
government elected in the November 8, 2020, elections
and allow them to fulfill their mandate without
impediment;
(F) allow for freedom of expression, including the
right to protest, peaceful assembly, press freedom, and
freedom of movement; and
(G) allow unfettered reporting from local,
national, and international media;
(3) calls on social media companies to suspend the accounts
of the Union Solidarity and Development Party and the Burmese
military that have used their platforms to spread
disinformation, fear, and threats of violence;
(4) supports the use of all diplomatic, economic, and
development tools to ensure that vulnerable groups, including
ethnic and religious groups, as well as all children, youth,
and teachers in educational settings are safe, and schools and
universities are not targeted for attacks or use by the Burmese
military;
(5) expresses grave concern for the safety and security of
the more than 1,000,000 internally displaced persons (referred
to in this resolution as ``IDPs'') and refugees who have been
displaced by the Burmese military and now face challenging
conditions in camps;
(6) expresses grave concern for the 17,600,000 people of
Burma who are in need of humanitarian aid, including the
1,500,000 IDPs in Burma, of which some 165,000 remain in the
southeast, adding to those already displaced in Rakhine, Chin,
Shan, and Kachin states;
(7) appreciates the generosity of Burma's neighboring
countries, including Thailand, India, and Bangladesh, and
encourages them to meaningfully assist refugees who have fled
and continue to flee the Burmese military, including through
the delivery of cross-border humanitarian assistance and with
recognition of the protracted nature of the conflict; and
(8) calls on the President, the Secretary of State, and the
Secretary of Defense to fully implement section 7008 of the
Department of State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs
Appropriations Act, 2021 (division K of Public Law 116-260),
the BURMA Act of 2022 (subtitle E of title LV of division E of
Public Law 117-263), and any similar or successor law governing
United States foreign assistance following a coup, and to
immediately--
(A) impose targeted restrictions aimed at the
Burmese military, military-owned or controlled
enterprises, and those responsible for the February 1,
2021, coup;
(B) work with the international community,
including at the United Nations Security Council, with
United States allies in the region, and with the
Association of Southeast Asian Nations, to condemn the
coup, delegitimize the junta and any military-run
elections announced by the junta, and take steps to
ensure that international economic engagement in Burma
does not contribute to human rights abuses or benefit
individuals connected to the coup;
(C) support conditionality on diplomatic, economic,
and security relations with Burma, including using the
voice and vote of the United States at multilateral
development institutions, until all those detained in
the February 1, 2021, coup are released and there has
been a full restoration of the civilian-controlled
parliament reflecting the November 8, 2020, election
results;
(D) utilize the United States Government's position
on the United Nations Security Council to bring about
greater international cooperation in the pursuit of
justice and accountability in Burma;
(E) empower and provide assistance to the National
Unity Government of the Republic of the Union of
Myanmar, the National Unity Consultative Council, the
Civil Disobedience Movement in Myanmar, and other
entities promoting democracy in Burma through
nonviolent efforts, including channeling aid through
local civil society organizations along the Thai and
Indian borders that are not controlled by the junta,
while simultaneously denying legitimacy and resources
to the junta;
(F) promote national reconciliation among the
diverse ethnic and religious groups in Burma;
(G) counter support to the junta by the People's
Republic of China and the Russian Federation and other
supporters of the military regime; and
(H) secure the restoration of democracy, the
establishment of an inclusive and representative
civilian government and a reformed military reflecting
the diversity of Burma and under civilian control, and
the enactment of constitutional, political, and
economic reform in Burma.

Expressing support for the designation of the week of April 30, 2023,
through May 6, 2023, as ``National Small Business Week'' to celebrate
the contributions of small businesses and entrepreneurs in every
community in the United States.
Whereas a ``National Small Business Week'' has been declared by every President

that support more than 62,000,000 jobs;
Whereas small businesses play an integral role in building the economy of the
United States; and

celebrate ``National Small Business Week'': Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Senate--
(1) honors and celebrates the entrepreneurial spirit and
contributions of small businesses in every community in the
United States;
(2) applauds the efforts and achievements of the owners of
small businesses and their employees in every community of the
United States;
(3) recognizes that, in the face of significant challenges,
the owners of small businesses have demonstrated incredible
resilience;
(4) supports the designation of the week of April 30, 2023,
through May 6, 2023, as ``National Small Business Week'';
(5) acknowledges the importance of providing access to
underserved small businesses; and
(6) supports efforts--
(A) to hold Federal agencies accountable for fraud,
waste, and abuse of taxpayer dollars; and
(B) to create an environment that enables small
businesses to grow and create jobs.

S. RES. 201
Supporting the goals and ideals of National Nurses Week, to be observed

_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
May 9, 2023
Mr. Merkley (for himself, Mr. Wicker, Ms. Smith, Mr. Barrasso, Ms.
Duckworth, Mrs. Blackburn, Ms. Cortez Masto, Mrs. Capito, Ms. Stabenow,
Mr. Cramer, Mr. Booker, Mr. Daines, Mr. Padilla, Mr. Grassley, Mr.

Hollen, Mr. Heinrich, Mr. Lujan, and Mr. Peters) submitted the
following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Health,
Education, Labor, and Pensions
_______________________________________________________________________
RESOLUTION
Supporting the goals and ideals of National Nurses Week, to be observed
from May 6 through May 12, 2023.
Whereas, beginning in 1991, National Nurses Week has been celebrated annually
from May 6, also known as ``National Recognition Day for Nurses'',
through May 12, the birthday of Florence Nightingale, the founder of
modern nursing;
Whereas National Nurses Week is a time of year to reflect on the important
contributions that nurses make to provide safe, high-quality health
care;
Whereas nurses serve on the front lines, risking their lives treating the
injured and sick during wartime, natural disasters, and public health
emergencies;
Whereas nurses are known to be patient advocates, acting to protect the lives of
individuals under their care;
Whereas nurses represent the largest single component of the health care
profession, with an estimated population of more than 4,500,000
registered nurses in the United States;
Whereas nurses are leading in the delivery of quality care in a transformed
health care system that improves patient outcomes and safety;
Whereas the Future of Nursing report of the Institute of Medicine has
highlighted the need for the nursing profession to meet the call for
leadership in a team-based delivery model;
Whereas, when nurse staffing levels increase, the risk of patient complications
and lengthy hospital stays decreases, resulting in cost savings;
Whereas nurses are experienced researchers, and the work of nurses encompasses a
wide scope of scientific inquiry, including clinical research, health
systems and outcomes research, and nursing education research;
Whereas nurses provide care that is sensitive to the cultures and customs of
individuals across the United States;
Whereas nurses are well-positioned to provide leadership to eliminate health
care disparities that exist in the United States;
Whereas nurses are the cornerstone of the public health infrastructure,
promoting healthy lifestyles and educating communities on disease
prevention and health promotion;
Whereas nurses help inform, educate, and work closely with legislators to
improve--
(1) the education, retention, recruitment, and practice of all nurses;
and
(2) the health and safety of the patients for whom the nurses care;
Whereas there is a need--
(1) to strengthen nursing workforce development programs at all levels,
including the number of doctorally prepared faculty members; and
(2) to provide education to the nurse research scientists who can
develop new nursing care models to improve the health status of the diverse
population of the United States;
Whereas nurses impact the lives of the people of the United States through every
stage of life; and
Whereas nursing has been voted the most honest and ethical profession in the
United States: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Senate--
(1) supports the goals and ideals of National Nurses Week,
as founded by the American Nurses Association;
(2) recognizes the significant contributions of nurses to
the health care system in the United States; and
(3) encourages the people of the United States to observe
National Nurses Week with appropriate recognition, ceremonies,
activities, and programs to demonstrate the importance of
nurses to the everyday lives of patients.

1st Session
S. RES. 202
Expressing the sense of the Senate that the United States must continue
to demonstrate leadership to achieve significant reforms to the rules
of the World Trade Organization in order to promote the advancement of
truly developing countries.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
May 9, 2023
Mr. Thune (for himself and Mr. King) submitted the following
resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Finance
_______________________________________________________________________
RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the Senate that the United States must continue
to demonstrate leadership to achieve significant reforms to the rules
of the World Trade Organization in order to promote the advancement of
truly developing countries.
Resolved, That it is the sense of the Senate that--
(1) although the United States finds value and usefulness
in the World Trade Organization in fulfilling the needs of the
United States and other free and open economies in the 21st
century, significant reforms at the World Trade Organization
are needed; and
(2) the United States must continue to demonstrate
leadership to achieve reforms that restore the effectiveness of
the rules of the World Trade Organization for special and
differential treatment to ensure those rules promote
advancement for truly developing countries, rather than
becoming tools for globally competitive countries, such as the
People's Republic of China, to engage in protectionism and
market distortions.

S. RES. 203
Recognizing the significance of Jewish American Heritage Month as a
time to celebrate the contributions of Jewish Americans to the society
and culture of the United States.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
May 9, 2023
Ms. Rosen (for herself, Mr. Scott of South Carolina, Mr. Cardin, Mr.
Scott of Florida, Mr. Schumer, Mr. Cassidy, and Mr. Blumenthal)
submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee
on the Judiciary
_______________________________________________________________________
RESOLUTION
Recognizing the significance of Jewish American Heritage Month as a
time to celebrate the contributions of Jewish Americans to the society
and culture of the United States.
Whereas the Senate and the House of Representatives have recognized many
heritage months that celebrate the various communities that form the
mosaic of the United States;
Whereas, through recognizing and celebrating heritage months, we learn about one
another, honor the richness of the diversity of the United States, and
strengthen the fabric of society in the United States;
Whereas Jewish American Heritage Month has its origins in 1980, when Congress
enacted a Joint Resolution entitled ``Joint Resolution to authorize and
request the President to issue a proclamation designating April 21
through April 28, 1980, as `Jewish Heritage Week''', approved April 24,
1980 (Public Law 96-237; 94 Stat. 338);
Whereas, on April 24, 1980, President Carter issued the proclamation for Jewish
Heritage Week, and in that proclamation, President Carter spoke about
the bountiful contributions made by the Jewish people to the culture and
history of the United States;
Whereas Congress has played a central role in recognizing Jewish American
Heritage Month since the Senate and the House of Representatives passed
resolutions in 2006 and 2005, respectively, urging the President to
proclaim the national observation of a month recognizing the Jewish
American community;
Whereas, since 2006, Presidents Bush, Obama, Trump, and Biden have all issued
proclamations for Jewish American Heritage Month, which celebrates
Jewish Americans and encourages all people of the United States to learn
more about Jewish heritage and the contributions of Jewish people
throughout the history of the United States;
Whereas people of the United States celebrate the rich history of Jewish people
in the United States and the more than 350-year history of Jewish
contributions to society in the United States;
Whereas the United States has long served as a haven for Jewish people escaping
from oppression in search of liberty, justice, and tolerance;
Whereas the Jewish American community dates back to 1654, when a group of 23
Jewish people, fleeing persecution at the hands of the Portuguese
Inquisition, fled Brazil and found refuge in what is now New York City;
Whereas Jewish Americans have established deep roots in communities across the
United States, and served their neighbors and the United States as loyal
and patriotic citizens, always grateful for the safe harbor that the
United States has provided for them;
Whereas the Jewish American community has since grown to over 6,000,000 people,
representing approximately 2 percent of the population of the United
States in 2023;
Whereas Jewish Americans have served in government and the military, won Nobel
prizes, led universities and corporations, advanced medicine and
philanthropy, created and performed in enduring works of performing and
visual art, written great novels, become emblems of justice as members
of the Supreme Court of the United States, and so much more;
Whereas Jewish Americans have been subjected to a recent surge in antisemitism
as the Anti-Defamation League's 2022 Audit of Antisemitic Incidents
tracked 3,697 antisemitic incidents in the United States, representing a
36 percent increase from 2021 and the largest number on record since the
Anti-Defamation League began tracking antisemitic incidents in 1979;
Whereas the rise in antisemitism is being felt by ordinary people in the United
States, as a report by the American Jewish Committee revealed that--
(1) 89 percent of Jewish respondents believe antisemitism is a problem
in the United States; and
(2) 4 in 10 Jewish Americans reported changing their behavior in at
least 1 way out of fear of antisemitism;
Whereas, over the course of the past decade, Holocaust distortion and denial
have grown in intensity;
Whereas a 2020 survey of all 50 States on Holocaust knowledge among Millennials
and Generation Z, conducted by the Conference on Jewish Material Claims
Against Germany, found a clear lack of awareness of key historical
facts, including--
(1) 63 percent of respondents did not know that 6,000,000 Jews were
murdered during the Holocaust; and
(2) 36 percent of respondents thought that ``two million or fewer
Jews'' were killed;
Whereas the Federal Bureau of Investigation has aggregated 2021 hate crime data
showing that Jewish people remain the single most targeted religious
minority in the United States;
Whereas the use of antisemitic language, conspiracy theories, and hatred has
increased on multiple social media platforms, including--
(1) tropes about Jewish control; and
(2) messages praising Adolf Hitler and demonizing all Jewish people;
Whereas the most effective ways to counter the increase in antisemitic actions
are through education, awareness, and the uplifting of Jewish voices,
while highlighting the contributions that Jewish Americans have made to
the United States; and
Whereas, as the strength of a society can be measured by how that society
protects its minority populations and celebrates their contributions, it
is altogether fitting for the United States to once again mark the month
of May as Jewish American Heritage Month: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Senate--
(1) recognizes the significance of Jewish American Heritage
Month as a time to celebrate the contributions of Jewish
Americans to the society and culture of the United States;
(2) recognizes that Jewish American culture and heritage
strengthen and enrich the diversity of the United States; and
(3) calls on elected officials, faith leaders, and civil
society leaders to condemn and combat any and all acts of
antisemitism.

S. RES. 205
Supporting the designation of May 10, 2023, as ``National Asian
American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Mental Health Day''.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
May 10, 2023
Ms. Hirono (for herself, Mr. Booker, Mr. Brown, Ms. Cantwell, Ms.
Cortez Masto, Ms. Duckworth, Mr. Fetterman, Mrs. Gillibrand, Mr.
Padilla, Ms. Rosen, Mr. Schatz, Ms. Warren, and Mr. Wyden) submitted
the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on
Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions
_______________________________________________________________________
RESOLUTION
Supporting the designation of May 10, 2023, as ``National Asian
American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Mental Health Day''.
Whereas the Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (referred to
in this preamble as ``AANHPI'') community is among the fastest growing
population groups in the United States and has made significant
economic, cultural, and social contributions;
Whereas the AANHPI community is extremely diverse in terms of socioeconomic
levels, education, employment, languages, cultures of origin,
acculturation, migrant status, and colonization status;
Whereas, in 2021, 77 percent of the estimated 2,600,000 AANHPI individuals who
meet criteria for a mental health problem did not receive treatment;
Whereas, in 2021, only 24.5 percent of Asian adults with a mental health problem
received mental health services in the past year, and Asian adults have
the lowest rates of utilization of mental health services out of any
racial population;
Whereas, from 2018 to 2020, AANHPI youth 10 to 24 years of age were the only
racial or ethnic population in this age category whose leading cause of
death was suicide;
Whereas it is imperative to disaggregate AANHPI population data to get an
accurate representation of the depth and breadth of the mental health
issues for each subpopulation so that specific culturally and
linguistically appropriate solutions can be developed;
Whereas language access continues to be a critical issue for AANHPI individuals
seeking mental health services, whether due to the limited number of
providers with the necessary language skills to provide in-language
services or the significant language loss faced by Native Hawaiian and
Pacific Islander communities due to colonization;
Whereas there is a need to significantly increase the number of providers,
including paraprofessionals, representing AANHPI communities and
providing them with the necessary training and ongoing support;
Whereas historical discrimination and current racial violence toward AANHPI
individuals increases trauma and stress, underlying precursors to mental
health problems;
Whereas there is a critical need to raise awareness about and improve mental
health literacy among the AANHPI community to reduce the stigma
associated with mental health issues; and
Whereas May is both National Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific
Islander Heritage Month, an opportunity to celebrate the vast
contributions of this population to the United States, and National
Mental Health Awareness Month, recognizing the importance of mental
health to the well-being and health of AANHPI families and communities
and connecting the importance of one's cultural heritage to good mental
health: Now, therefore be it
Resolved, That the Senate--
(1) supports the designation of May 10, 2023, as ``National
Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Mental
Health Day'';
(2) recognizes the importance of mental health to the well-
being and health of families and communities;
(3) acknowledges the importance of raising awareness about
mental health and improving the quality of care for Asian
American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander communities;
(4) recognizes that celebrating cultural and linguistic
heritage is beneficial to mental health; and
(5) encourages Federal, State, and local health agencies to
adopt laws, policies, and guidance to improve help-seeking
rates for mental health services for the Asian American, Native
Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander community and other communities
of color.

S. RES. 206
Designating June 10, 2023, as ``Veterans Get Outside Day''.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
May 10, 2023
Mr. Cassidy (for himself, Mr. King, and Mr. Cramer) submitted the
following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on the
Judiciary
_______________________________________________________________________
RESOLUTION
Designating June 10, 2023, as ``Veterans Get Outside Day''.
Whereas, between 2000 and 2022, the Department of Defense found that more than
460,000 members of the Armed Forces were diagnosed with traumatic brain
injuries;
Whereas studies have found that, after decades of combat in Afghanistan and
Iraq, 20 percent of veterans of the Armed Forces are suffering from
post-traumatic stress and depression;
Whereas the Department of Veterans Affairs found that veterans suffer a
disproportionately higher rate of suicide compared to nonveterans, and
post-traumatic stress, traumatic brain injury, depression, and anxiety
are root causes of the suicide epidemic in the veteran community, with
an estimated 16.8 suicides per day in 2020;
Whereas the Department of Veterans Affairs has been successful in reducing the
number of veterans' suicides, but there are still gaps in mental health
care for veterans, and the United States needs to use every treatment
available to support the veteran community;
Whereas studies have shown that exposure to nature and the outdoors have a
positive therapeutic impact on mental health, including by resulting in
lower risks of depression and improved focus and attention, and even a
single day outside can improve an individual's overall mood and lessen
feelings of isolation;
Whereas studies have found that individuals with increased access to green space
have a lower suicide risk;
Whereas the Forest Service sponsors a National Get Outdoors Day to promote the
health benefits of outdoor recreational activities;
Whereas the United States has recognized the need to connect veterans with
nature by providing free admission to national parks and forests; and
Whereas a targeted outreach effort, such as Veterans Get Outside Day, to
veterans living with post-traumatic stress, traumatic brain injury,
depression, and anxiety may lead to further participation in outside
events and improved mental health outcomes: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Senate--
(1) designates June 10, 2023, as ``Veterans Get Outside
Day''; and
(2) encourages the Department of Veterans Affairs, the
Forest Service, and the Department of the Interior to
coordinate and cooperate in promoting ``Veterans Get Outside
Day'' along with National Get Outdoors Day.

1st Session
S. RES. 207
Marking the 60th anniversary of the Polaris Sales Agreement between the
United States and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern
Ireland.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
May 11, 2023
Mrs. Fischer (for herself and Mr. King) submitted the following
resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations
_______________________________________________________________________
RESOLUTION
Marking the 60th anniversary of the Polaris Sales Agreement between the
United States and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern
Ireland.
Whereas, on December 21, 1962, President John F. Kennedy and Prime Minister of
the United Kingdom Harold Macmillan met in Nassau, Bahamas, and issued a
joint statement (commonly referred to as the ``Statement on Nuclear
Defense Systems''), agreeing that the United States would make Polaris
missiles available on a continuing basis to the United Kingdom for use
in submarines;
Whereas, on April 6, 1963, Secretary of State Dean Rusk and Her Majesty's
Ambassador to the United States David Ormsby-Gore signed the Polaris
Sales Agreement, reaffirming the Statement on Nuclear Defense Systems
and agreeing that the United States Government shall provide and the
Government of the United Kingdom shall purchase from the United States
Government Polaris missiles, equipment, and supporting services;
Whereas the HMS Resolution launched the first Polaris missile of the United
Kingdom on February 15, 1968, and, in 1969, commenced the first
strategic deterrent patrol for the United Kingdom, initiating a
continuous at-sea deterrent posture for the United Kingdom that remains
in effect;
Whereas the Polaris Sales Agreement was amended to include the Trident II (D5)
strategic weapon system on October 19, 1982, in Washington, DC, through
an exchange of notes between Secretary of State Jonathan Howe and Her
Majesty's Ambassador to the United States Oliver Wright; and
Whereas through an exchange of letters in 2008 between Secretary of Defense the
Honorable Robert Gates and Secretary of State for Defence of the United
Kingdom the Right Honorable Desmond Browne and under the auspices of the
Polaris Sales Agreement, the United States Government and the Government
of the United Kingdom agreed to continue cooperation to design a common
missile compartment for the follow-on ballistic missile submarines of
each nation: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Senate--
(1) marks the 60th anniversary of the Polaris Sales
Agreement between the Government of the United Kingdom of Great
Britain and Northern Ireland and the Government of the United
States of America, done at Washington April 6, 1963;
(2) congratulates the Royal Navy for steadfastly
maintaining a Continuous At-Sea Deterrent;
(3) recognizes the important contribution of the Continuous
At-Sea Deterrent to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization;
(4) reaffirms that the United Kingdom is a valued and
special ally of the United States; and
(5) looks forward to continuing and strengthening the
shared commitment of the United States and the United Kingdom
to sustain submarine-based strategic deterrents well into the
future.

S. RES. 208
Expressing support for the designation of November 12, 2023, as
``National Warrior Call Day'' and recognizing the importance of
connecting warriors in the United States to support structures
necessary to transition from the battlefield, especially peer-to-peer
connection.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
May 11, 2023
Mrs. Shaheen (for herself, Mr. Cotton, Mr. Casey, Mr. Boozman, Ms.
Warren, Mr. Thune, Mr. Welch, Mr. Risch, Mr. Kelly, Mr. Hoeven, Mr.
Hickenlooper, Mrs. Hyde-Smith, Mr. Fetterman, Mr. Scott of Florida, Mr.
Tester, Mr. Grassley, Ms. Klobuchar, Mrs. Capito, Mr. Schmitt, Mr.
Cramer, and Ms. Rosen) submitted the following resolution; which was
referred to the Committee on the Judiciary
_______________________________________________________________________
RESOLUTION
Expressing support for the designation of November 12, 2023, as
``National Warrior Call Day'' and recognizing the importance of
connecting warriors in the United States to support structures
necessary to transition from the battlefield, especially peer-to-peer
connection.
Whereas establishing an annual ``National Warrior Call Day'' will draw attention
to the members of the Armed Forces whose connection to one another is
key to the veterans in the United States who may be dangerously
disconnected from family, friends, and support systems;
Whereas the number of suicides of members of the Armed Forces serving on active
duty was 519 in 2021;
Whereas, in 2020, there were 6,146 veteran suicide deaths, and the unadjusted
rate of suicide in 2020 among veterans was 31.7 per 100,000;
Whereas, after adjusting for sex and age, the rate of veteran suicide in 2020
was 57 percent higher than non-veteran adults;
Whereas more veterans have died by suicide in the last 10 years than members of
the Armed Forces who died from combat in Vietnam;
Whereas many of the veterans who take their own lives have had no contact with
the Department of Veterans Affairs;
Whereas the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic can lead to increased
isolation and disconnection, further exacerbating mental and physical
ailments such as post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain
injury;
Whereas invisible wounds linked to an underlying and undiagnosed traumatic brain
injury can mirror many mental health conditions, a problem that can be
addressed through appropriate medical treatment;
Whereas additional research is needed to highlight the connection between
traumatic brain injury as a root cause of invisible wounds and suicide
by members of the Armed Forces and veterans; and
Whereas November 12, 2023, would be an appropriate day to designate as
``National Warrior Call Day'': Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Senate--
(1) supports the designation of November 12, 2023, as
``National Warrior Call Day'';
(2) encourages all individuals in the United States,
especially members of the Armed Forces serving on active duty
and veterans, to call a warrior, have an honest conversation,
and connect them with support, understanding that making a
warrior call could save a life; and
(3) implores all individuals in the United States to
recommit themselves to engaging with members of the Armed
Forces through ``National Warrior Call Day'' and other
constructive efforts that result in solutions and treatment for
the invisible scars that members of the Armed Forces carry.

_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
May 11, 2023
Ms. Hirono (for herself, Ms. Baldwin, Mr. Blumenthal, Mr. Booker, Mr.
Brown, Ms. Cantwell, Mr. Cardin, Mr. Carper, Mr. Casey, Ms. Collins,

Mrs. Shaheen, Ms. Smith, Ms. Warren, Mr. Welch, Mr. Wyden, and Mr.
Warner) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the
Committee on the Judiciary
_______________________________________________________________________
RESOLUTION
Recognizing the significance of Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and
Pacific Islander Heritage Month as an important time to celebrate the
significant contributions of Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and
Pacific Islanders to the history of the United States.
Whereas the people of the United States join together each May to pay tribute to
the contributions of generations of Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians,
and Pacific Islanders who have enriched the history of the United
States;
Whereas the history of Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders
in the United States is inextricably tied to the story of the United
States;
Whereas the Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander community is
an inherently diverse population, composed of more than 45 distinct
ethnicities and more than 100 language dialects;
Whereas, according to the Bureau of the Census, the Asian American population
grew faster than any other racial or ethnic group over the last decade,
surging nearly 55.5 percent between 2010 and 2020, and during that same
time period, the Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander population grew by
30.8 percent;
Whereas there are approximately 24,000,000 residents of the United States who
identify as Asian and approximately 1,600,000 residents of the United
States who identify as Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander, making up
more than 7 percent of the total population of the United States;
Whereas the month of May was selected for Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and
Pacific Islander Heritage Month because the first Japanese immigrants
arrived in the United States on May 7, 1843, and the first
transcontinental railroad was completed on May 10, 1869, with
substantial contributions from Chinese immigrants;
Whereas section 102 of title 36, United States Code, officially designates May
as Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month and requests the President to
issue an annual proclamation calling on the people of the United States
to observe the month with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and
activities;
Whereas 2023 marks several important milestones for the Asian American and
Pacific Islander community, including--
(1) the 125th anniversary of United States v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 U.S.
649 (1898), a decision of the Supreme Court of the United States that
determined that the 14th Amendment grants birthright citizenship to all
persons born in the United States, regardless of the national origin of
their parents;
(2) the 80th anniversary of the Act entitled ``An Act to repeal the
Chinese Exclusion Acts, to establish quotas, and for other purposes'',
approved December 17, 1943 (commonly known as the ``Magnuson Act of 1943'')
(57 Stat. 600, chapter 344), which formally repealed the Act entitled ``An
Act to execute certain treaty stipulations relating to Chinese'', approved
May 6, 1882 (commonly known as the ``Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882'') (22
Stat. 58, chapter 126);
(3) the 35th anniversary of the passage of the Civil Liberties Act of
1988 (50 U.S.C. 4211 et seq.), which granted reparations to Japanese
Americans incarcerated during World War II; and
(4) the 30th anniversary of the enactment of Public Law 103-150 (107
Stat. 1510), which acknowledged the 100th anniversary of the January 17,
1893, overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawaii and offered an apology to Native
Hawaiians on behalf of the United States;
Whereas Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders have made
significant contributions to the United States at all levels of the
Federal Government and in the Armed Forces, including--
(1) Daniel K. Inouye, a Medal of Honor and Presidential Medal of
Freedom recipient who, as President pro tempore of the Senate, was the
then-highest-ranking Asian American government official in the history of
the United States;
(2) Dalip Singh Saund, the first Asian American elected to Congress;
(3) Patsy T. Mink, the first woman of color and Asian-American woman
elected to Congress;
(4) Hiram L. Fong, the first Asian-American Senator;
(5) Daniel K. Akaka, the first Senator of Native Hawaiian ancestry;
(6) Norman Y. Mineta, the first Asian-American member of a Presidential
cabinet;
(7) Elaine L. Chao, the first Asian-American woman member of a
Presidential cabinet; and
(8) Kamala D. Harris, the first woman and the first Asian American to
hold the Office of the Vice President;
Whereas the 118th Congress includes 21 Members of Asian or Pacific Islander
descent;
Whereas, in 2023, the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus, a bicameral
caucus of Members of Congress advocating on behalf of Asian Americans,
Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders, is composed of 72 Members, and
other congressional caucuses work on Asian American, Native Hawaiian,
and Pacific Islander issues also;
Whereas, in 2023, Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders are
serving in State and Territorial legislatures across the United States
in record numbers, including in--
(1) the States of Alaska, Arizona, California, Connecticut, Georgia,
Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland,
Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New
Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon,
Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia,
Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming; and
(2) the Territories of American Samoa, Guam, and the Commonwealth of
the Northern Mariana Islands;
Whereas Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders represent more
than 6 percent of Federal judges and 7 percent of Federal employees,
including hundreds of staffers of Asian, Native Hawaiian, or Pacific
Islander descent who serve as staff in the Senate and the House of
Representatives;
Whereas, since March 2020, there has been a dramatic increase in reports of
anti-Asian hate crimes and incidents, including those related to the
COVID-19 pandemic, including--
(1) a 339-percent increase in anti-Asian hate crimes in 2021, and a
124-percent increase in 2020;
(2) according to Stop AAPI Hate, over 11,000 hate incidents reported
since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic through March 2022, and countless
others that have not been reported;
(3) on March 16, 2021, the murder of 8 people, including 6 Asian women,
at 3 separate Asian-owned businesses in the Atlanta, Georgia, region; and
(4) on May 15, 2022, the shooting of 5 people in Laguna Hills,
California, in which the Taiwanese congregation at Geneva Presbyterian
Church was targeted;
Whereas the incidence of hate crimes against Asian Americans continues to be
above levels observed before the COVID-19 pandemic;
Whereas discrimination against Asian Americans, especially in moments of crisis,
is not a new phenomenon, and violence against Asian Americans has
occurred throughout United States history, including--
(1) the enactment of the Act entitled ``An Act supplementary to the
Acts in relation to Immigration'', approved March 3, 1875 (commonly
referred to as the ``Page Act of 1875'') (18 Stat. 477, chapter 141), which
restricted entry of Chinese, Japanese, and other Asian women to the United
States and effectively prohibited the immigration of Chinese women,
preventing the formation of Chinese families in the United States and
limiting the number of native-born Chinese citizens;
(2) the enactment of the Act entitled ``An Act to execute certain
treaty stipulations relating to Chinese'', approved May 6, 1882 (commonly
known as the ``Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882'') (22 Stat. 58, chapter 126),
which was the first law to explicitly exclude an entire ethnic group from
immigrating to the United States;
(3) the issuance of Executive Order 9066 in 1942, which authorized the
forced relocation and incarceration of approximately 120,000 individuals of
Japanese ancestry during World War II, the majority of whom were citizens
of the United States;
(4) the murder of Vincent Chin;
(5) on January 17, 1989, the Cleveland Elementary School shooting in
which a gunman used an AK-47 to kill 5 children, 4 of whom were of
Southeast Asian descent;
(6) the rise in discrimination and violence against Muslim, Sikh, Arab,
Middle Eastern, and South Asian Americans following the attacks on the
World Trade Center and the Pentagon on September 11, 2001; and
(7) on August 5, 2012, the mass shooting at a Sikh temple in Oak Creek,
Wisconsin, in which a White supremacist fatally shot 6 people and wounded 4
others;
Whereas, in response to the uptick in anti-Asian hate crimes throughout the
COVID-19 pandemic, Congress passed the COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act (Public
Law 117-13; 135 Stat. 265), which was signed into law by President
Joseph R. Biden on May 20, 2021;
Whereas, in celebration of the contributions of Asian American, Native Hawaiian,
and Pacific Islanders in the United States, Congress passed the
Commission To Study the Potential Creation of a National Museum of Asian
Pacific American History and Culture Act (Public Law 117-140; 136 Stat.
1259) to establish a commission to study the creation of a National
Museum of Asian Pacific American History and Culture, which was signed
into law by President Biden on June 13, 2022;
Whereas, as part of the American Women Quarters Program, the United States Mint
has issued, or will issue, commemorative quarters honoring the
contributions of--
(1) Chinese American film star Anna May Wong;
(2) Native Hawaiian composer and cultural advocate Edith Kanaka'ole;
and
(3) Congresswoman Patsy Mink;
Whereas there remains much to be done to ensure that Asian Americans, Native
Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders have access to resources and a voice in
the Federal Government and continue to advance in the political
landscape of the United States; and
Whereas celebrating Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander
Heritage Month provides the people of the United States with an
opportunity to recognize the achievements, contributions, and history
of, and to understand the challenges faced by, Asian Americans, Native
Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Senate--
(1) recognizes the significance of Asian American, Native
Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Heritage Month as an important
time to celebrate the significant contributions of Asian
Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders to the
history of the United States; and
(2) recognizes that Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and
Pacific Islander communities enhance the rich diversity of and
strengthen the United States.

human trafficking and modern slavery.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
February 1, 2023
Mrs. Feinstein (for herself, Mr. Grassley, Ms. Cortez Masto, Ms.
Murkowski, Mr. Blumenthal, Mrs. Capito, Mr. Brown, Ms. Collins, Mr.
Durbin, Ms. Klobuchar, Mr. Markey, Mr. Wyden, and Mr. Padilla)
submitted the following resolution; which was considered and agreed to
_______________________________________________________________________
RESOLUTION
Supporting the observation of National Trafficking and Modern Slavery
Prevention Month during the period beginning on January 1, 2023, and
ending on February 1, 2023, to raise awareness of, and opposition to,
human trafficking and modern slavery.
Whereas the United States abolished the transatlantic slave trade in 1808 and
abolished chattel slavery and prohibited involuntary servitude in 1865;
Whereas, because the people of the United States remain committed to protecting
individual freedom, there is a national imperative to eliminate human
trafficking and modern slavery, which is commonly considered to mean--
(1) the recruitment, harboring, transportation, provision, or obtaining
of an individual through the use of force, fraud, or coercion for the
purpose of subjecting that individual to involuntary servitude, peonage,
debt bondage, or slavery; or
(2) the inducement of a commercial sex act by force, fraud, or
coercion, or in which the individual induced to perform that act is younger
than 18 years of age;
Whereas forced labor and human trafficking generates revenues of approximately
$150,000,000,000 annually worldwide, and there are an estimated
50,000,000 victims of human trafficking and modern slavery across the
globe;
Whereas victims of human trafficking are difficult to identify and are subject
to manipulation, force, fraud, coercion, and abuse;
Whereas children and youths experiencing homelessness are vulnerable and
susceptible to manipulation, making them a prime target for the
lucrative criminal industry of human trafficking;
Whereas the Department of Justice has reported that human trafficking and modern
slavery has been reported and investigated in each of the 50 States and
the District of Columbia;
Whereas the Department of State has reported that the top 3 countries of origin
of federally identified human trafficking victims in the United States
in fiscal year 2021 were the United States, Mexico, and Honduras;
Whereas, to help businesses in the United States combat child labor and forced
labor in global supply chains, the Department of Labor has identified
158 goods from 77 countries that are made by child labor and forced
labor;
Whereas, since 2007, the National Human Trafficking Hotline has identified
82,301 cases of human trafficking involving 164,839 victims;
Whereas there are known risk factors that contribute to youths running away,
including domestic violence, child sexual abuse, and neglect, and
runaway youths who experience homelessness are potential targets for
human trafficking;
Whereas, of the more than 26,500 endangered runaways reported to the National
Center for Missing and Exploited Children in 2020, 1 in 6 were likely
child sex trafficking victims;
Whereas youth experiencing homelessness experience high rates of human
trafficking and 1 in 5 homeless youths is a victim of sex trafficking,
labor trafficking, or both;
Whereas 22 percent of youths who experience homelessness were approached for
paid sex on their first night of homelessness;
Whereas LGBTQ youths are disproportionally affected, accounting for 33.8 percent
of sex trafficking victims;
Whereas youths facing homelessness have a lower probability of being trafficked
if they have a supportive adult in their life;
Whereas the Administration for Native Americans of the Department of Health and
Human Services reports that American Indian, Alaska Native, and Pacific
Islander women and girls have a heightened risk for sex trafficking;
Whereas the Department of Justice found that studies on the topic of human
trafficking of American Indians and Alaska Natives suggest there are--
(1) high rates of sexual exploitation of Native women and girls;
(2) gaps in data and research on trafficking of American Indian and
Alaska Native victims; and
(3) barriers that prevent law enforcement agencies and victim service
providers from identifying and responding appropriately to Native victims;
Whereas, according to the Government Accountability Office, from fiscal year
2013 through fiscal year 2016, there were only 14 Federal investigations
and 2 Federal prosecutions of human trafficking offenses in Indian
country;
Whereas, to combat human trafficking and modern slavery in the United States and
globally, the people of the United States, the Federal Government, and
State, Tribal, and local governments must be--
(1) aware of the realities of human trafficking and modern slavery; and
(2) dedicated to stopping the horrific enterprise of human trafficking
and modern slavery;
Whereas the United States should hold accountable all individuals, groups,
organizations, governments, and countries that support, advance, or
commit acts of human trafficking and modern slavery;
Whereas, through education, the United States must also work to end human
trafficking and modern slavery in all forms in the United States and
around the world;
Whereas victims of human trafficking deserve a trauma-informed approach that
integrates the pursuit of justice and provision of social services
designed to help them escape, and recover from, the physical, mental,
emotional, and spiritual trauma they endured;
Whereas combating human trafficking requires a whole-of-government effort that
rests on a unified and coordinated response among Federal, State,
Tribal, and local agencies and that places equal value on the prevention
of trafficking, the identification and stabilization of victims, and the
investigation and prosecution of traffickers;
Whereas laws to prosecute perpetrators of human trafficking and to assist and
protect victims of human trafficking and modern slavery have been
enacted in the United States, including--
(1) the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000 (22 U.S.C. 7101 et
seq.);
(2) title XII of the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2013
(Public Law 113-4; 127 Stat. 136);
(3) the Justice for Victims of Trafficking Act of 2015 (Public Law 114-
22; 129 Stat. 227);
(4) sections 910 and 914(e) of the Trade Facilitation and Trade
Enforcement Act of 2015 (Public Law 114-125; 130 Stat. 239 and 274);
(5) section 1298 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal
Year 2017 (22 U.S.C. 7114);
(6) the Abolish Human Trafficking Act of 2017 (Public Law 115-392; 132
Stat. 5250);
(7) the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2017 (Public Law 115-393;
132 Stat. 5265);
(8) the Frederick Douglass Trafficking Victims Prevention and
Protection Reauthorization Act of 2018 (Public Law 115-425; 132 Stat.
5472);
(9) the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2017
(Public Law 115-427; 132 Stat. 5503);
(10) the Violence Against Women Act Reauthorization Act of 2022 (Public
Law 117-103; 136 Stat. 840);
(11) the Abolish Trafficking Reauthorization Act of 2022 (Public Law
117-347; 136 Stat. 6199);
(12) the Trafficking Victims Prevention and Protection Reauthorization
Act of 2022 (Public Law 117-348; 136 Stat. 6211); and
(13) the End Human Trafficking in Government Contracts Act of 2022
(Public Law 117-211; 136 Stat. 2248);
Whereas the Justice for Victims of Trafficking Act of 2015 (Public Law 114-22;
129 Stat. 227) established the United States Advisory Council on Human
Trafficking to provide a formal platform for survivors of human
trafficking to advise and make recommendations on Federal anti-
trafficking policies to the Interagency Task Force to Monitor and Combat
Trafficking established by the President;
Whereas the Department of Defense, the General Services Administration, and the
National Aeronautics and Space Administration issued a final rule (80
Fed. Reg. 4967) to implement Executive Order 13627, entitled
``Strengthening Protections Against Trafficking in Persons in Federal
Contracts'', that clarifies the policy of the United States on combating
trafficking in persons as outlined in the Federal Acquisition Regulation
by strengthening the prohibition on contractors from charging employee
recruitment fees;
Whereas, although such laws and regulations are currently in force, it is
essential to increase public awareness, particularly among individuals
who are most likely to come into contact with victims of human
trafficking and modern slavery, regarding conditions and dynamics of
human trafficking and modern slavery, precisely because traffickers use
techniques that are designed to severely limit self-reporting and evade
law enforcement;
Whereas January 1 is the anniversary of the effective date of the Emancipation
Proclamation;
Whereas February 1 is--
(1) the anniversary of the date on which President Abraham Lincoln
signed the joint resolution sending the 13th Amendment to the Constitution
of the United States to the States for ratification to forever declare,
``Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for
crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within
the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction''; and
(2) a date that has long been celebrated as National Freedom Day, as
described in section 124 of title 36, United States Code; and
Whereas, under the authority of Congress to enforce the 13th Amendment to the
Constitution of the United States ``by appropriate legislation'',
Congress, through the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000 (22
U.S.C. 7101 et seq.), updated the post-Civil War involuntary servitude
and slavery statutes and adopted an approach of victim protection,
vigorous prosecution, and prevention of human trafficking, commonly
known as the ``3P'' approach: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Senate supports--
(1) observing National Trafficking and Modern Slavery
Prevention Month during the period beginning on January 1,
2023, and ending on February 1, 2023, to recognize the vital
role that the people of the United States have in ending human
trafficking and modern slavery;
(2) marking the observation of National Trafficking and
Modern Slavery Prevention Month with appropriate programs and
activities, culminating in the observance on February 1, 2023,
of National Freedom Day, as described in section 124 of title
36, United States Code;
(3) urging continued partnerships with Federal, State,
Tribal, and local agencies, as well as survivors of human
trafficking, social service providers, and nonprofit
organizations to address human trafficking with a
collaborative, victim-centered approach; and
(4) all other efforts to prevent, eradicate, and raise
awareness of, and opposition to, human trafficking and modern
slavery.

Expressing the sense of the Senate that public servants should be
commended for their dedication and continued service to the United

Ms. Sinema (for herself, Mr. Lankford, Mr. Peters, Mr. Johnson, Mr.

Van Hollen, Ms. Rosen, and Mr. Ossoff) submitted the following
resolution; which was considered and agreed to
_______________________________________________________________________
RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the Senate that public servants should be
commended for their dedication and continued service to the United
States during Public Service Recognition Week.
Whereas the week of May 7 through May 13, 2023, has been designated as ``Public
Service Recognition Week'' to honor employees of the Federal Government
and State and local governments and members of the uniformed services;
Whereas Public Service Recognition Week provides an opportunity to recognize and
promote the important contributions of public servants and to honor the
diverse men and women who meet the needs of the United States through
work at all levels of government and as members of the uniformed
services;
Whereas millions of individuals serve the public in government service and as
members of the uniformed services in every State, county, and city
across the United States and in hundreds of cities abroad;
Whereas public servants provide crucial customer service in their local
communities to millions of individuals throughout the United States;
Whereas public service is a noble calling involving a variety of challenging and
rewarding professions;
Whereas the ability of the Federal Government and State and local governments to
be responsive, innovative, and effective depends on the outstanding
performance of dedicated public servants;
Whereas the United States continues to reaffirm the critical importance of
public service employees in responding to public health and economic
challenges;
Whereas the United States is a great and prosperous country, and public service
employees contribute significantly to that greatness and prosperity;
Whereas the United States benefits daily from the knowledge and skills of the
highly trained individuals who work in public service;
Whereas public servants--
(1) defend the freedom of the people of the United States and advance
the interests of the United States and the ideals of democracy around the
world;
(2) provide vital strategic support functions to the Armed Forces and
serve in the National Guard and Reserves;
(3) fight crime and fires;
(4) ensure equal access to secure, efficient, and affordable mail
service;
(5) deliver benefits under the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 301 et
seq.), including benefits under the Medicare program under title XVIII of
that Act (42 U.S.C. 1395 et seq.);
(6) fight disease and promote better health;
(7) protect the environment and the parks of the United States;
(8) enforce laws guaranteeing equal employment opportunity and healthy
working conditions;
(9) defend and secure critical infrastructure;
(10) help the people of the United States recover from natural
disasters, pandemics, and terrorist attacks;
(11) teach and work in schools and libraries;
(12) develop new technologies and explore Earth, the moon, and space to
improve knowledge on how the world changes;
(13) improve and secure transportation systems;
(14) promote economic stability and growth; and
(15) assist veterans of the Armed Forces;
Whereas members of the uniformed services and civilian employees at all levels
of government--
(1) make significant contributions to the general welfare of the United
States; and
(2) are on the front lines in the fight to defeat terrorism and
maintain homeland security;
Whereas public servants work in a professional manner to build relationships
with other countries and cultures in order to better represent the
interests and promote the ideals of the United States;
Whereas public servants alert Congress and the public to government waste,
fraud, and abuse, and to dangers to public health;
Whereas the individuals serving in the uniformed services, as well as the
skilled trade and craft employees of the Federal Government who provide
support to their efforts--
(1) are committed to doing their jobs regardless of the circumstances;
and
(2) contribute greatly to the security of the United States and the
world;
Whereas public servants have bravely fought in armed conflicts in the defense of
the United States and its ideals and deserve the care and benefits they
have earned through their honorable service;
Whereas public servants--
(1) have much to offer, as demonstrated by their expertise and
innovative ideas; and
(2) serve as examples by passing on institutional knowledge to train
the next generation of public servants;
Whereas legislative branch employees, including members of the United States
Capitol Police and officers of the Senate and the House of
Representatives, ensure the smooth functioning of Congress and the
safety and security of Members of Congress, their staffs, and visitors
to the Capitol complex;
Whereas legislative branch employees working for Members of Congress,
congressional committees, and legislative branch agencies work
tirelessly to serve constituents and support Congress in fulfilling its
constitutional obligations;
Whereas public servants have decisively and resolutely responded to conflicts
around the globe, including the evolving crisis in Ukraine, through
creative diplomatic approaches; and
Whereas the week of May 7 through May 13, 2023, marks the 39th anniversary of
Public Service Recognition Week: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Senate--
(1) supports the designation of the week of May 7 through
May 13, 2023, as ``Public Service Recognition Week'';
(2) commends public servants during Public Service
Recognition Week for their outstanding contributions to this
great country throughout the year;
(3) salutes government employees and members of the
uniformed services for their unyielding dedication to, and
enthusiasm for, public service;
(4) honors government employees and members of the
uniformed services who have given their lives in service to
their communities and their country;
(5) calls upon a new generation to consider a career in
public service as an honorable profession;
(6) encourages efforts to promote public service careers at
every level of government; and
(7) expresses gratitude to the Federal workers who have
selflessly answered the call to serve their country.

S. RES. 212
Commemorating 50 years of women serving as naval aviators in the United
States.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
May 11, 2023
Mr. Rubio (for himself, Mrs. Shaheen, Mr. Scott of Florida, and Ms.
Duckworth) submitted the following resolution; which was considered and
agreed to
_______________________________________________________________________
RESOLUTION
Commemorating 50 years of women serving as naval aviators in the United
States.
Whereas, while women had officially served in various capacities in the Navy
since 1908, prior to 1973, women had been prevented from serving as
naval aviators;
Whereas, in October 1972, the Navy announced a program to open flight training
to women;
Whereas, on January 10, 1973, Secretary of the Navy John Warner presented flight
training orders to Judith Neuffer, the first woman to be selected for
flight training in the Navy;
Whereas 7 additional women were selected for training as naval aviators, and the
group consisted of 4 women who already served as Navy officers and 4
civilians;
Whereas, on March 2, 1973, the first 4 women already serving as Navy officers
began flight training at Naval Air Station Pensacola in Pensacola,
Florida;
Whereas the 4 civilian women selected for flight training were commissioned in
May 1973, and reported to training at Naval Air Station Pensacola on
June 4, 1973;
Whereas, on February 22, 1974, Barbara Allen became the first female naval
aviator to earn her Wings of Gold;
Whereas, out of the 8 women to be selected for flight training, 6 women,
nicknamed the ``First Six'' (referred to in this preamble as the ``First
Six''), would go on to earn their Wings of Gold;
Whereas the First Six comprised Judith Neuffer, Barbara Allen, Rosemary
Conatser, Jane Skiles, Joellen Drag, and Ann Marie Scott;
Whereas Naval Air Station Pensacola is the ``Cradle of Naval Aviation'' and
serves as the training ground for every naval aviator;
Whereas Naval Air Station Pensacola has played a valuable role in the historic
milestone of women training to be naval aviators; and
Whereas the First Six became the first women to hold various naval aviation
positions in the Navy: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Senate--
(1) honors the invaluable contributions that the first 6
women to earn their Wings of Gold (referred to in this
resolution as the ``First Six'') made to naval aviation in the
United States;
(2) applauds the steadfast leadership and courage of the
First Six that opened doors for women to serve in every level
of naval aviation in the United States today;
(3) recognizes 50 years of women serving as naval aviators
in the United States and the roles that Naval Air Station
Pensacola and the Pensacola, Florida community have played in
this milestone and in naval aviation history in the United
States; and
(4) respectfully requests that the Secretary of the Senate
transmit an enrolled copy of this resolution to the Commanding
Officer of Naval Air Station Pensacola, Captain Terrence M.
Shashaty.

1st Session
S. RES. 213
Expressing support for the designation of May 2023 as ``Renewable Fuels
Month'' to recognize the important role that renewable fuels play in
reducing carbon impacts, lowering fuel prices for consumers, supporting
rural communities, and lessening reliance on foreign adversaries.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
May 15, 2023
Mr. Ricketts submitted the following resolution; which was referred to
the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources
_______________________________________________________________________
RESOLUTION
Expressing support for the designation of May 2023 as ``Renewable Fuels
Month'' to recognize the important role that renewable fuels play in
reducing carbon impacts, lowering fuel prices for consumers, supporting
rural communities, and lessening reliance on foreign adversaries.
Whereas the United States is the largest producer of biofuels in the world,
which contributes to the domestic economy, creates jobs, and reduces
greenhouse gas emissions;
Whereas ethanol is a renewable fuel made of biomass from plant materials;
Whereas, in 2022, more than 78,800 jobs in the United States were directly
associated with the ethanol industry, with an additional 342,800
indirect and induced jobs supported across all sectors of the economy;
Whereas the ethanol industry created $34,800,000,000 in household income and
contributed more than $57,000,000,000 to the gross domestic product of
the United States;
Whereas ethanol and feed co-product production provide a valuable market for
United States corn, as a typical dry mill ethanol plant adds nearly $2
of additional value to every bushel of corn processed;
Whereas ethanol use reduces greenhouse gas emissions by between 44 and 52
percent compared to gasoline, and, by displacing hydrocarbon substances
like aromatics in gasoline, ethanol also helps reduce emissions of air
toxins, particulate matter, carbon monoxide, nitrous oxides, and exhaust
hydrocarbons;
Whereas, in 2022, ethanol helped protect the energy independence of the United
States by displacing more than 600,000,000 barrels of crude oil;
Whereas \1/3\ of every bushel processed by an ethanol plant is used to make
distillers grains, one of the most efficient animal feeds available;
Whereas biodiesel is a drop-in replacement for petroleum-based diesel fuel that
is produced from renewable resources such as recycled cooking oil,
soybean oil, distillers corn oil, canola oil, and animal fats;
Whereas renewable diesel is an advanced biofuel, made from the same feedstocks
as biodiesel, that reduces greenhouse gas emissions, while meeting the
same standard specification for diesel fuels as petroleum diesel;
Whereas producing a total of 6,000,000,000 gallons of biodiesel and renewable
diesel would support 187,000 full-time equivalent jobs, with more than
$8,800,000,000 in wages and $61,600,000,000 in total economic impact;
Whereas biodiesel and renewable diesel can be used in existing diesel engines
without modification and are available now throughout the United States;
Whereas, while advanced biofuels like biodiesel and renewable diesel must reduce
greenhouse gas emissions by at least 50 percent compared to petroleum
diesel, depending on the feedstock used, biodiesel and renewable diesel
provide average reductions in greenhouse gas emissions of 74 percent and
can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by more than 80 percent;
Whereas biodiesel emits 80 percent less particulate matter than petroleum-based
diesel, improving air quality and health outcomes;
Whereas the production of biodiesel and renewable diesel adds to the total
domestic fuel supply, reducing the price of all diesel fuel at the pump;
Whereas, without the Renewable Fuel Standard helping to drive production of
biodiesel and renewable diesel, the value of soybeans grown by farmers
in the United States would decrease by 13 percent;
Whereas sustainable aviation fuel is made from renewable biomass and waste
resources and can deliver the performance of petroleum-based jet fuel;
and
Whereas sustainable aviation fuel can be blended with conventional jet fuel and
the use of sustainable or blended aviation fuel requires no
infrastructure or equipment changes: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Senate--
(1) supports the designation of May 2023 as ``Renewable
Fuels Month''; and
(2) recognizes--
(A) the important role renewable fuels play in
reducing the carbon impact of the United States;
(B) the ability renewable fuels have to lower fuel
prices for consumers;
(C) the support to rural communities that renewable
fuel industries provide; and
(D) the opportunity that the production of
renewable fuels provides to lessen the reliance of the
United States on foreign adversaries.

S. RES. 214
To authorize testimony and representation in United States v. Neely.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
May 16, 2023
Mr. Schumer (for himself and Mr. McConnell) submitted the following
resolution; which was considered and agreed to
_______________________________________________________________________
RESOLUTION
To authorize testimony and representation in United States v. Neely.
Whereas, in the case of United States v. Neely, Cr. No. 21-642, pending in the
United States District Court for the District of Columbia, both the
prosecution and defense are seeking the production of testimony from
Michael J. Mastrian, Director of the Senate Radio and Television
Gallery, a department of the Office of the Sergeant at Arms and
Doorkeeper of the Senate;
Whereas, pursuant to sections 703(a) and 704(a)(2) of the Ethics in Government
Act of 1978, 2 U.S.C. Sec. Sec. 288b(a) and 288c(a)(2), the Senate may
direct its counsel to represent current and former officers and
employees of the Senate with respect to any subpoena, order, or request
for evidence relating to their official responsibilities;
Whereas, by the privileges of the Senate of the United States and Rule XI of the
Standing Rules of the Senate, no evidence under the control or in the
possession of the Senate may, by the judicial or administrative process,
be taken from such control or possession but by permission of the
Senate; and
Whereas, when it appears that evidence under the control or in the possession of
the Senate may promote the administration of justice, the Senate will
take such action as will promote the ends of justice consistent with the
privileges of the Senate: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That Michael J. Mastrian, Director of the Senate Radio
and Television Gallery, is authorized to provide relevant testimony in
the case of United States v. Neely, except concerning matters for which
a privilege should be asserted.
Sec. 2. The Senate Legal Counsel is authorized to represent Mr.
Mastrian, and any current or former officer or employee of his office,
in connection with the production of evidence authorized in section one
of this resolution.

Scott of South Carolina, Ms. Klobuchar, Mr. Cassidy, Ms. Baldwin, Mrs.

which was considered and agreed to
_______________________________________________________________________
RESOLUTION
Supporting the mission and goals of National Fentanyl Awareness Day in
2023, including increasing individual and public awareness of the
impact of fake or counterfeit fentanyl pills on families and young
people.
Whereas drug traffickers are mass-producing fake or counterfeit pills and
falsely marketing them as legitimate prescription pills to deceive the
people of the United States;
Whereas many fake or counterfeit pills are made to look like prescription name-
brand opioids, stimulants, or anxiety medications;
Whereas drug traffickers are using fake or counterfeit pills to exploit the
opioid crisis and prescription drug misuse;
Whereas the Drug Enforcement Administration (referred to in this preamble as the
``DEA'') has observed a dramatic rise in the number of counterfeit pills
containing not less than 2 milligrams of fentanyl, which is considered a
deadly dose;
Whereas 6 out of every 10 pills with fentanyl tested by the DEA contain a
potentially lethal dose;
Whereas counterfeit pills may also contain fentanyl-related substances and
methamphetamine;
Whereas the number of counterfeit pills with fentanyl seized by law enforcement
agencies has increased by nearly 502 percent since 2019;
Whereas more than 50,000,000 counterfeit pills were seized within the last year,
which represents 379,000,000 doses of illicit fentanyl.
Whereas fake or counterfeit pills have been identified in all 50 States and the
District of Columbia;
Whereas illicit fentanyl has also been detected in illicit drugs such as heroin,
cocaine, and MDMA.
Whereas, for the 12-month period ending in September 2022, more than 106,000
individuals in the United States died of drug-induced deaths, and 72,000
of those deaths involved illicit fentanyl and other synthetic opioids;
Whereas, over the last 20 years, drug-induced deaths among individuals 15 to 35
years of age have increased 6-fold, largely driven by the increase in
illicit fentanyl drugs;
Whereas, for the 12-month period ending in June 2022, illicit fentanyl was
involved in more deaths of individuals under 50 years of age than any
single other cause;
Whereas fake counterfeit pills are easily accessible and often sold on social
media and e-commerce platforms, making them accessible to teens and
youth;
Whereas illicit fentanyl is involved in more deaths of youths than all other
drug types combined;
Whereas, between 2019 and 2021, drug overdose and poisoning deaths for
individuals 14 to 18 years of age increased by 120 percent, a rate of
increase which was 43 percent higher than the national rate and higher
than the rate for any other 5-year age group;
Whereas, between 2019 and 2021, the involvement of illicit fentanyl in drug
overdose and poisoning deaths for individuals 14 to 18 years of age
increased by 232 percent, a rate of increase which was 94 percent higher
than the national rate and higher than the rate for any other 5-year age
group;
Whereas, in 2021, illicit fentanyl was involved in 80 percent of drug-induced
deaths of individuals between 14 and 23 years of age, compared to 66
percent of drug-induced deaths of individuals of all ages;
Whereas only 48 percent of youth and 36 percent of teens in the United States
are aware that fentanyl is being used to create counterfeit pills;
Whereas only 40 percent of youth and 31 percent of teens consider themselves
knowledgeable about fentanyl; and
Whereas, in 2021, there were 71,238 reported overdose deaths due to illicit
fentanyl and other synthetic opioids: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Senate--
(1) supports the recognition and goals of National Fentanyl
Awareness Day, which include increasing individual and public
awareness of the impact of fake or counterfeit fentanyl pills
on families and young people;
(2) applauds the work of Federal, State, and local law
enforcement agencies that work to combat the proliferation of
counterfeit pills;
(3) encourages the use of existing authorities to
proactively stop and prevent the spread of illicit counterfeit
pills; and
(4) designates May 9, 2023, as ``National Fentanyl
Awareness Day''.

_______________________________________________________________________
RESOLUTION
Designating the week of May 14 through May 20, 2023, as ``National
Police Week''.
Whereas Federal, State, local, and Tribal police officers, sheriffs, and other
law enforcement officers across the United States serve with valor,
dignity, and integrity;
Whereas law enforcement officers are charged with--
(1) pursuing justice for all individuals; and
(2) performing the duties of a law enforcement officer with fidelity to
the constitutional and civil rights of the public the officers serve;
Whereas law enforcement officers swear an oath to uphold the public trust even
though, through the performance of the duties of a law enforcement
officer, the officers may become targets for senseless acts of violence;
Whereas law enforcement officers have bravely continued to meet the call of duty
to ensure the security of their neighborhoods and communities at the
risk of their own personal safety in the time of a viral pandemic;
Whereas the resolve to service is clearly demonstrated by law enforcement
officers across the country who have tragically fallen ill or passed
away due to complications of COVID-19 contracted in the line of duty;
Whereas, in 1962, President John Fitzgerald Kennedy signed Public Law 87-726 (76
Stat. 676) (referred to in this preamble as the ``Joint Resolution''),
which authorizes the President to proclaim May 15 of every year as
``Peace Officers Memorial Day'' in honor of the Federal, State, and
local officers who have been killed, disabled, or otherwise injured in
the line of duty;
Whereas the Joint Resolution also authorizes the President to designate the week
in which Peace Officers Memorial Day falls as ``National Police Week'';
Whereas the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial, dedicated on October 15,
1991, is the national monument to honor those law enforcement officers
who have died in the line of duty;
Whereas Peace Officers Memorial Day, 2023, honors the 443 law enforcement
officers killed in the line of duty during 2022, including--
(1) J'Mar C. Abel;
(2) Jennifer S. Abramowitz;
(3) Paul C. Adam;

Whereas, according to the Law Enforcement Officers Killed and Assaulted Program
of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (also known as the ``LEOKA
Program''), since the beginning of 2023, 32 law enforcement officers
were reported to have been killed in the line of duty: Now, therefore,
be it
Resolved, That the Senate--
(1) designates the week of May 14 through May 20, 2023, as
``National Police Week'';
(2) expresses unwavering support for law enforcement
officers across the United States in the pursuit of preserving
safe and secure communities;
(3) recognizes the need to ensure that law enforcement
officers have the equipment, training, and resources that are
necessary in order to protect the health and safety of the
officers while the officers protect the public;
(4) recognizes the law enforcement community for continual
unseen acts of sacrifice and heroism, especially in the midst
of the COVID-19 pandemic crisis faced by the United States;
(5) acknowledges that police officers and other law
enforcement personnel, especially those who have made the
ultimate sacrifice, should be remembered and honored;
(6) expresses condolences and solemn appreciation to the
loved ones of each law enforcement officer who has made the
ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty; and
(7) encourages the people of the United States to observe
National Police Week by honoring law enforcement personnel and
promoting awareness of the essential mission that law
enforcement personnel undertake in service to their communities
and the United States.

S. RES. 217
Supporting the designation of May 15, 2023, as ``National Senior Fraud
Awareness Day'' to raise awareness about the increasing number of
fraudulent scams targeted at seniors in the United States, to encourage
the implementation of policies to prevent those scams from happening,
and to improve protections from those scams for seniors.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
May 17, 2023
Ms. Collins (for herself and Ms. Sinema) submitted the following
resolution; which was considered and agreed to
_______________________________________________________________________
RESOLUTION
Supporting the designation of May 15, 2023, as ``National Senior Fraud
Awareness Day'' to raise awareness about the increasing number of
fraudulent scams targeted at seniors in the United States, to encourage
the implementation of policies to prevent those scams from happening,
and to improve protections from those scams for seniors.
Whereas millions of individuals age 65 or older (referred to in this preamble as
``seniors'') in the United States are targeted by scams each year,
including vacation scams, Social Security impersonation scams and
Internal Revenue Service impersonation scams, other government agency
impersonation scams, veterans benefits scams, health and benefits scams,
sweepstakes scams, romance scams, computer tech support scams,
grandparent and person-in-need scams, debt collection scams, home
improvement scams, fraudulent investment schemes, pet scams, job
opportunity scams, and identity theft;
Whereas other types of fraud perpetrated against seniors include Medicare
impersonation fraud, health care fraud, health insurance fraud,
counterfeit prescription drug fraud, funeral and cemetery fraud, ``anti-
aging'' product fraud, telemarketing fraud, charity and disaster scams,
internet fraud, and cyberattacks;
Whereas the Government Accountability Office has estimated that seniors lose a
staggering $2,900,000,000 each year to an ever-growing array of
financial exploitation schemes and scams;
Whereas, since 2013, the Fraud Hotline of the Special Committee on Aging of the
Senate has received more than 10,000 complaints reporting possible scams
from individuals in all 50 States, the District of Columbia, and the
Commonwealth of Puerto Rico;
Whereas the ease with which criminals contact seniors through the internet and
telephone increases as more creative schemes emerge and scammers employ
new technologies, such as artificial intelligence and ``spoofing'' of
caller ID information, to fraudulently gain the trust of seniors;
Whereas, according to the Consumer Sentinel Network Data Book 2022 released by
the Federal Trade Commission, individuals age 60 or older reported
losing around $1,600,000,000 to fraud in 2022, with a median loss for
victims age 80 or older of $1,674, more than 3 times the median amount
lost by those victims between the ages of 50 and 59;
Whereas senior fraud is underreported by victims due to shame, stigma, and lack
of information about where to report fraud; and
Whereas May 15, 2023, is an appropriate day to establish as ``National Senior
Fraud Awareness Day'': Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Senate--
(1) supports the designation of May 15, 2023, as ``National
Senior Fraud Awareness Day'';
(2) recognizes National Senior Fraud Awareness Day as an
opportunity to raise awareness about the barrage of scams that
individuals age 65 or older (referred to in this resolution as
``seniors'') in the United States face in person, by mail, on
the phone, via text message, and online;
(3) recognizes that law enforcement agencies, consumer
protection groups, area agencies on aging, and financial
institutions all play vital roles in--
(A) preventing the proliferation of scams targeting
seniors in the United States; and
(B) educating seniors about those scams;
(4) encourages--
(A) the implementation of policies to prevent scams
targeting seniors; and
(B) the improvement of efforts to protect seniors
from those scams; and
(5) honors the commitment and dedication of the individuals
and organizations that work tirelessly to fight against scams
targeting seniors.

S. RES. 218
Expressing support for the law enforcement officers of the United
States.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
May 18, 2023
Mr. Vance (for himself and Mr. Cassidy) submitted the following
resolution; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary
_______________________________________________________________________
RESOLUTION
Expressing support for the law enforcement officers of the United
States.
Whereas more than 800,000 law enforcement officers in the United States risk
their lives daily to serve and protect their communities;
Whereas there are more than 23,000 fallen law enforcement officers honored on
the walls of the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial, dating back
to 1786, when the first law enforcement officer in the United States
died in the line of duty;
Whereas, during the 2 years preceding the date of adoption of this resolution,
more than 800 law enforcement officers died in the United States in the
line of duty, the highest number of such deaths over a 2-year period in
the history of the United States;
Whereas some politicians and interest groups have responded to the risks faced
by law enforcement officers with calls to ``defund'' or even ``abolish''
law enforcement agencies across the United States;
Whereas defunding law enforcement agencies or otherwise demoralizing law
enforcement officers will make it more difficult for officers to
intervene in dangerous situations and high-risk neighborhoods;
Whereas a law enforcement officer will typically encounter between 400 and 600
traumatic events during the career of the officer, compared with 3 or 4
traumatic events encountered by the average citizen;
Whereas the unusually high number of traumatic events experienced by law
enforcement officers has contributed to a 54 percent higher suicide rate
among officers than among individuals in other jobs;
Whereas the Bureau of Justice Statistics of the Department of Justice has
confirmed that there is no statistically significant difference between
the rates at which major racial and ethnic groups are stopped in police-
initiated interactions;
Whereas the innovative and dedicated efforts of law enforcement officers have
successfully brought down crime rates from historic highs;
Whereas the ``defund and defame the police'' movement that began in 2020 has--
(1) coincided with a dramatic rise in homicides and other violent
crimes in cities and towns across the United States; and
(2) caused the retention and recruitment of sworn law enforcement
officers to drop to a dangerously low level, with current numbers showing
fewer law enforcement officers per resident than at any other time during
the 25-year period preceding the date of adoption of this resolution;
Whereas, in 2020--
(1) 60,105 law enforcement officers were assaulted by criminals,
resulting in 18,633 injuries; and
(2) the number of arrests made by law enforcement officers throughout
the United States dropped to 7,630,000, a 24 percent reduction from 2019
and the fewest number of such arrests in 25 years;
Whereas 72 percent of law enforcement officers surveyed are less willing to stop
and question suspicious individuals than they were before 2020;
Whereas the rhetoric associated with the ``defund and defame the police''
movement has created an increasingly dangerous environment for law
enforcement officers in which, in 2022 alone, 331 officers were shot, 62
of whom were shot fatally; and
Whereas supporting law enforcement officers with the equipment, training, and
funding needed to protect communities in the United States from criminal
violence has long received overwhelming public support from across the
political spectrum: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Senate--
(1) highly respects and values the law enforcement officers
of the United States and greatly appreciates all that those
officers do to protect and serve their communities;
(2) remembers and honors law enforcement officers who have
experienced a death or injury in the line of duty and the
families of those officers;
(3) calls for increased measures to be taken to maximize
the safety and well-being of law enforcement officers,
including improvements relating to the retention and
recruitment of officers, improved training and equipment for
officers, tougher penalties for assaulting or killing an
officer, and increased mental health resources for officers;
(4) strongly condemns the misguided and disastrous movement
to ``defund and defame the police''; and
(5) calls on all levels of government to ensure that law
enforcement officers receive the support and resources needed
to keep all communities in the United States safe.

S. RES. 220
Recognizing the historic significance of the 30th anniversary of the

_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
May 18, 2023
Mrs. Shaheen (for herself, Mr. Graham, Mrs. Blackburn, Mr. Blumenthal,
Mr. Boozman, Mrs. Capito, Mr. Cardin, Mr. Carper, Ms. Collins, Mr.
Coons, Mr. Cornyn, Mr. Cramer, Mr. Crapo, Ms. Duckworth, Mr. Durbin,

Ms. Klobuchar, Mr. Manchin, Mr. McConnell, Mr. Merkley, Mr. Moran, Ms.
Murkowski, Mrs. Murray, Mr. Risch, Ms. Smith, Mr. Tester, Mr. Van
Hollen, Mr. Wyden, and Mr. Young) submitted the following resolution;
which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations
_______________________________________________________________________
RESOLUTION
Recognizing the historic significance of the 30th anniversary of the
founding of the Department of Defense State Partnership Program.
Whereas the Department of Defense State Partnership Program (referred to in this
preamble as the ``State Partnership Program'') has evolved from a
program designed to assist countries emerging from behind the Iron
Curtain to one that now involves 100 nations and the National Guard of
every State and territory of the United States;
Whereas members of the National Guard work with partner militaries to bolster
capabilities, improve interoperability, and enhance principles of
responsible governance;
Whereas the State Partnership Program delivers a significant return on
investment by broadening the pool of security partners who are willing
and able to support defense and security cooperation objectives of the
United States around the world;
Whereas most of the earliest State Partnership Program partner countries in
Europe have gone on to become United States allies in the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization, and many of them credit the State Partnership
Program and their National Guard State partners with helping to make
that possible;
Whereas the State Partnership Program helps ensure that the Department of
Defense has capable, trusted, and interoperable partners;
Whereas the State Partnership Program has created 88 enduring, cost-effective
partnerships with 100 nations encompassing over \1/2\ of the countries
in the world;
Whereas members of the National Guard typically engage in more than 1,000 State
Partnership Program events per year;
Whereas the National Guard Bureau is working with the commanders of the
combatant commands and the Department of State to increase State
Partnership Program partnerships by 2 nations per year for the next 15
years; and
Whereas commanders of the combatant commands and United States ambassadors
strongly endorse the State Partnership Program for cultivating long-term
relationships with partners: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Senate--
(1) recognizes the historic significance of the 30th
anniversary of the founding of the Department of Defense State
Partnership Program;
(2) expresses deep gratitude for the continuing service by
members of the National Guard in support of the Department of
Defense State Partnership Program;
(3) recognizes the outsized influence of the Department of
Defense State Partnership Program in developing and supporting
enduring relationships around the world that serve both the
interests of the partner nations and the United States; and
(4) supports the continued expansion of the Department of
Defense State Partnership Program in furtherance of global
security cooperation.

_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
May 18, 2023
Mr. Cardin (for himself, Mr. Scott of South Carolina, Mr. Padilla, Mr.
Menendez, Ms. Hirono, Mrs. Capito, Mr. Rubio, Mr. Booker, Mr. Braun,
Mr. Markey, and Mr. Brown) submitted the following resolution; which
was considered and agreed to
_______________________________________________________________________
RESOLUTION
Promoting minority health awareness and supporting the goals and ideals
of National Minority Health Month in April 2023, which include bringing
attention to the health disparities faced by minority populations of
the United States such as American Indians, Alaska Natives, Asian
Americans, African Americans, Hispanics, and Native Hawaiians or other
Pacific Islanders.
Whereas the origin of National Minority Health Month is National Negro Health
Week, established in 1915 by Dr. Booker T. Washington;
Whereas the theme for National Minority Health Month in 2023 is ``Better Health
Through Better Understanding'';
Whereas the Department of Health and Human Services has set goals and strategies
to enhance and protect the health and well-being of the people of the
United States;
Whereas African American women were as likely to have been diagnosed with breast
cancer as non-Hispanic White women, but African American women were 41
percent more likely to die from breast cancer than non-Hispanic White
women between 2015 and 2019;
Whereas African American women were twice as likely to be diagnosed with and 2.3
times more likely to die of stomach cancer than non-Hispanic White
women;
Whereas African American men are 70 percent more likely to die from a stroke
than non-Hispanic White men;
Whereas Hispanics are twice as likely as non-Hispanic Whites to be hospitalized
for end-stage renal disease caused by diabetes, and are 30 percent more
likely to die of diabetes, than non-Hispanic Whites;
Whereas Asian Americans are 40 percent more likely to be diagnosed with diabetes
than non-Hispanic Whites;
Whereas the HIV or AIDS case rate among Hispanic men is 4 times the HIV or AIDS
case rate among non-Hispanic White men;
Whereas Hispanic women are 3 times as likely as non-Hispanic White women to die
of HIV infection;
Whereas, in 2019, African Americans accounted for 42.1 percent of HIV infections
and Hispanic Americans accounted for almost 30 percent of HIV
infections;
Whereas, in 2019, Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders were 2.4 times more
likely to be diagnosed with HIV than non-Hispanic Whites;
Whereas, in 2018, Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders were 2.5 times more
likely to be diagnosed with diabetes than non-Hispanic Whites;
Whereas, although the prevalence of obesity is high among all population groups
in the United States, 48.1 percent of American Indian and Alaska
Natives, 51.7 percent of Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders, 38.3
percent of African Americans, 34.9 percent of Hispanics, 30 percent of
non-Hispanic Whites, and 13 percent of Asian Americans older than 18
years old were obese;
Whereas Asian American and Pacific Islander adults accounted for 30.1 percent of
chronic Hepatitis B cases, and non-Hispanic White adults accounted for
13.5 percent of chronic Hepatitis B cases;
Whereas heart disease, stroke, cancer, and diabetes are some of the leading
causes of death among American Indians and Alaska Natives;
Whereas American Indians and Alaska Natives have higher prevalence and are at a
higher risk of diabetes, substance use, obesity, sudden infant death
syndrome, liver disease, viral hepatitis, and suicide than other groups
in the United States;
Whereas American Indians and Alaska Natives have a life expectancy that is 2.2
years shorter than the life expectancy of the overall population of the
United States;
Whereas African American women die from childbirth or pregnancy-related causes
at a rate that is 3 to 4 times higher than the rate for non-Hispanic
White women;
Whereas African American infants are almost 4 times more likely to die due to
complications related to low birth weight than non-Hispanic White
infants;
Whereas American Indians and Alaska Natives have an infant mortality rate twice
as high as that of non-Hispanic Whites;
Whereas American Indian and Alaska Native infants are 2.7 times more likely to
die from accidental deaths before their first birthday than non-Hispanic
White infants;
Whereas approximately 1,000 babies are born with sickle cell disease each year
in the United States, with the disease occurring in approximately 1 in
365 newborn Black or African-American infants and 1 in 16,300 newborn
Hispanic-American infants, and can be found in individuals of
Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, Asian, and Indian origin;
Whereas, while more than 1 in 6 older adults have untreated cavities, non-
Hispanic Black older adults have between 2 and 3 times the rate of
untreated cavities as non-Hispanic White older adults;
Whereas the 2022 National Healthcare Quality and Disparities Report found
American Indians and Alaska Natives received worse care than non-
Hispanic Whites for 43 percent of quality measures;
Whereas, as of 2023, with respect to hospitalizations due to COVID-19, American
Indians and Alaska Natives are 2.4 times more likely, African Americans
are 2.1 times more likely, and Hispanics are 1.8 times more likely to be
hospitalized compared to non-Hispanic Whites;
Whereas, as of 2023, with respect to deaths due to COVID-19, American Indians
and Alaska Natives are 2 times more likely, African Americans are 1.6
times more likely, and Hispanics are 1.7 times more likely to die
compared to non-Hispanic Whites; and
Whereas the health innovations of the United States present a unique opportunity
to improve public health and health care practices across the United
States and to reduce disparities among racial and ethnic minority
populations: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Senate supports the recognition of National
Minority Health Month in April 2023, which includes bringing attention
to the health disparities faced by minority populations in the United
States, such as American Indians, Alaska Natives, Asian Americans,
African Americans, Hispanics, and Native Hawaiians or other Pacific
Islanders.

118th CONGRESS
1st Session
S. RES. 222
Expressing the approval of Congress for the 50th anniversary
celebration of the homecoming of United States prisoners of war from
Vietnam and in recognition of the extraordinary service and sacrifices
of such prisoners of war during the Vietnam War.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
May 18, 2023
Mr. Carper (for himself and Mr. Moran) submitted the following
resolution; which was considered and agreed to
_______________________________________________________________________
RESOLUTION
Expressing the approval of Congress for the 50th anniversary
celebration of the homecoming of United States prisoners of war from
Vietnam and in recognition of the extraordinary service and sacrifices
of such prisoners of war during the Vietnam War.
Whereas more than 2,700,000 members of the United States Armed Forces served in
the Vietnam War;
Whereas more than 58,000 members of the United States Armed Forces lost their
lives and more than 300,000 were wounded;
Whereas, during the conflict, approximately 766 members of the Armed Forces of
the United States were taken captive as prisoners of war by the
Government of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam and the allies of that
Government;
Whereas prisoners of war, the majority of which were aviators, included members
of the Air Force, Navy, Army, Marine Corps, and United States civilians,
and during captivity the prisoners endured brutal conditions, including
torture, forced labor, and prolonged solitary confinement;
Whereas prisoners of war were held in more than a dozen prisons throughout North
Vietnam and elsewhere, including in the infamous prison camp known to
the prisoners of war from the United States as the ``Hanoi Hilton'', but
despite the challenging conditions, many of the prisoners of war held by
the North Vietnamese and the allies of the North Vietnamese maintained
their honor, resilience, and loyalty to their country and fellow members
of the Armed Forces;
Whereas the return of the prisoners of war was a nonnegotiable condition for
President Richard Nixon as his administration negotiated an end to the
Vietnam War;
Whereas, on January 27, 1973, the Agreement on Ending the War and Restoring
Peace in Viet-Nam (commonly known as the ``Paris Peace Accords'') was
signed, requiring the return of the United States prisoners of war
within 60 days of the signing of the agreement;
Whereas, between February and April 1973, 591 prisoners of war were released by
the North Vietnamese and their allies;
Whereas 116 prisoners of war died in captivity;
Whereas the Prisoner of War/Missing in Action (referred to in this preamble as
``POW/MIA'') movement in the United States, and the National League of
POW/MIA Families, made a tremendous effort to return the prisoners of
war held by the North Vietnamese and their allies to the United States;
Whereas, in 1972, the National League of POW/MIA Families adopted the National
POW/MIA flag, which flies over Federal buildings, including the United
States Capitol, on days the United States flag is flown;
Whereas, 50 years after the prisoners of war held by the North Vietnamese gained
their freedom, the resilience, courage, and patriotism of the prisoners
of war continues to inspire generations of citizens of the United
States; and
Whereas the Richard Nixon Presidential Library will host the official 50th
Anniversary celebration of the homecoming of United States POWs from
Vietnam, from May 23 to 25, 2023, in Yorba Linda, California: Now,
therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Senate--
(1) expresses approval for the 50th anniversary celebration
of the homecoming of United States prisoners of war from
Vietnam; and
(2) recognizes the extraordinary service and sacrifices of
the United States prisoners of war during the Vietnam War.

S. RES. 223
Designating the week of May 21 through May 27, 2023, as ``National
Public Works Week''.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
May 18, 2023
Mr. Carper (for himself, Mrs. Capito, Mr. Boozman, Mr. Cardin, Mr.
Cramer, Mr. Kelly, Ms. Lummis, Mr. Padilla, Mr. Ricketts, Mr.
Whitehouse, and Mr. Wicker) submitted the following resolution; which
was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary
_______________________________________________________________________
RESOLUTION
Designating the week of May 21 through May 27, 2023, as ``National
Public Works Week''.
Whereas public works professionals work around the clock to ensure the vital
infrastructure, facilities, and services of communities to deliver
dependable, sustainable, and resilient human needs that include the
health, safety, and well-being of the people of the United States;
Whereas public works infrastructure, facilities, and services could not be
provided without the dedicated efforts of public works professionals who
represent Federal, State, and local governments and private sector
organizations throughout the United States;
Whereas public works professionals design, build, operate, and maintain the
transportation systems, water infrastructure, sewage and refuse disposal
systems, public buildings, sanitation and waste management systems, and
other structures and facilities that are vital to the people and
communities of the United States;
Whereas public works first responders are the first to arrive and last to leave
a natural disaster area or incident scene; and
Whereas understanding the role that public infrastructure plays in protecting
the environment, improving public health and safety, contributing to
economic vitality, and enhancing the quality of life of every community
of the United States is in the interest of the people of the United
States: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Senate--
(1) designates the week of May 21 through May 27, 2023, as
``National Public Works Week'';
(2) recognizes and celebrates the important contributions
that public works professionals make every day to improve--
(A) the public infrastructure of the United States;
and
(B) the communities that public works professionals
serve; and
(3) urges individuals and communities throughout the United
States to join with representatives of the Federal Government
and the American Public Works Association in activities and
ceremonies that are designed--
(A) to pay tribute to the public works
professionals of the United States; and
(B) to recognize the substantial contributions that
public works professionals make to the United States.

118th CONGRESS
1st Session
S. RES. 224
Designating May 2023 as ``ALS Awareness Month''.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
May 18, 2023
Mr. Whitehouse (for himself, Ms. Murkowski, Mr. Coons, Mr. Braun, Mr.
Durbin, Mr. Marshall, Ms. Klobuchar, Mr. Cotton, Mr. Merkley, and Ms.
Collins) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the
Committee on the Judiciary
_______________________________________________________________________
RESOLUTION
Designating May 2023 as ``ALS Awareness Month''.
Whereas amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (referred to in this preamble as ``ALS'')
is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in
the brain and the spinal cord;
Whereas the life expectancy for an individual with ALS is between 2 and 5 years
after the date on which the individual receives an ALS diagnosis;
Whereas ALS occurs throughout the world with no racial, ethnic, gender, or
socioeconomic boundaries;
Whereas ALS may affect any individual in any location;
Whereas the cause of ALS is unknown in up to 90 percent of cases;
Whereas approximately 10 percent of ALS cases have a strong known genetic
driver;
Whereas, on average, the period between the date on which an individual first
experiences symptoms of ALS and the date on which the individual is
diagnosed with ALS is more than 1 year;
Whereas the onset of ALS often involves muscle weakness or stiffness, and the
progression of ALS results in the further weakening, wasting, and
paralysis of--
(1) the muscles of the limbs and trunk; and
(2) the muscles that control vital functions, such as speech,
swallowing, and breathing;
Whereas ALS can strike individuals of any age, but it predominantly strikes
adults;
Whereas it is estimated that tens of thousands of individuals in the United
States have ALS at any given time;
Whereas, based on studies of the population of the United States, more than
5,000 individuals in the United States are diagnosed with ALS each year,
and 15 individuals in the United States are diagnosed with ALS each day;
Whereas every 90 minutes someone dies from ALS in the United States;
Whereas the majority of individuals with ALS die of respiratory failure;
Whereas, in the United States, military veterans are more likely to be diagnosed
with ALS than individuals with no history of military service;
Whereas, as of the date of introduction of this resolution, there is no cure for
ALS;
Whereas the spouses, children, and family members of individuals living with ALS
provide support to those individuals with love, day-to-day care, and
more; and
Whereas an individual with ALS, and the caregivers of such an individual, can be
required to bear significant costs for medical care, equipment, and home
care services for the individual as the disease progresses: Now,
therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Senate--
(1) designates May 2023 as ``ALS Awareness Month'';
(2) affirms the dedication of the Senate to--
(A) ensuring individuals with amyotrophic lateral
sclerosis (referred to in this resolving clause as
``ALS'') have access to effective treatments as soon as
possible;
(B) identifying risk factors and causes of ALS to
prevent new cases;
(C) empowering individuals with ALS to engage with
the world in the way they want;
(D) reducing the physical, emotional, and financial
burdens of living with ALS; and
(E) ensuring all individuals with ALS and their
caregivers receive high quality services and supports
that benefit them; and
(3) commends the dedication of the family members, friends,
organizations, volunteers, researchers, and caregivers across
the United States who are working to improve the quality and
length of life of ALS patients and the development of
treatments and cures that reach patients as soon as possible.

1st Session
S. RES. 225
Commemorating the 107th running of the Indianapolis 500 Mile Race and
recognizing the race as ``the greatest spectacle in racing''.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
May 18, 2023
Mr. Young (for himself and Mr. Braun) submitted the following
resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Commerce, Science,
and Transportation
_______________________________________________________________________
RESOLUTION
Commemorating the 107th running of the Indianapolis 500 Mile Race and
recognizing the race as ``the greatest spectacle in racing''.
Whereas Sunday, May 28, 2023, will mark the 107th running of the Indianapolis
500 Mile Race (referred to in this preamble as the ``Indianapolis
500'');
Whereas the Indianapolis 500 has occurred every year since 1911, except during
the involvement of the United States in World Wars I and II from 1917
through 1918 and 1942 through 1945, respectively;
Whereas the Indianapolis 500 is the largest single day sporting event in the
world, with more than 300,000 fans packing the grandstands and the
expansive infield of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on race day;
Whereas radio coverage of the Indianapolis 500 dates back to 1922, and the
Indianapolis Motor Speedway Radio Network was established in 1952;
Whereas a radio broadcast of the entire Indianapolis 500 first began in 1953 and
the radio broadcast reaches millions of listeners each year;
Whereas Alice Greene, a copywriter at the Indianapolis-based radio station WIBC,
coined the phrase ``the greatest spectacle in racing'' in 1954, and the
phrase was made famous by broadcaster Sid Collins, who served as the
voice of the Indianapolis 500 for nearly 3 decades;
Whereas the Indianapolis 500 has played an integral part in the culture and
heritage of--
(1) Indianapolis, Indiana;
(2) motorsports; and
(3) the automotive industry in the United States and throughout the
world; and
Whereas the Indianapolis Motor Speedway has been a showcase of speed, human
achievement, and the continuous pursuit of glory, and is a source of
great pride for all citizens of Indiana: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Senate--
(1) commemorates the 107th running of the Indianapolis 500
Mile Race; and
(2) recognizes the Indianapolis 500 Mile Race as ``the
greatest spectacle in racing''.

Mr. Wyden (for himself, Mrs. Hyde-Smith, Mr. Daines, Mrs. Capito, Ms.

_______________________________________________________________________
RESOLUTION
Designating May 20, 2023, as ``Kids to Parks Day''.
Whereas the 13th annual Kids to Parks Day will be celebrated on May 20, 2023;
Whereas the goals of Kids to Parks Day are--
(1) to promote healthy outdoor recreation and responsible environmental
stewardship;
(2) to empower young people; and
(3) to encourage families to get outdoors and visit the parks and
public land of the United States;
Whereas, on Kids to Parks Day, individuals from rural, suburban, and urban areas
of the United States can be reintroduced to the splendid national,
State, and neighborhood parks located in their communities;
Whereas communities across the United States offer a variety of natural
resources and public land, often with free access, to individuals
seeking outdoor recreation;
Whereas the people of the United States, young and old, should be encouraged to
lead more healthy and active lifestyles;
Whereas Kids to Parks Day is an opportunity for families to take a break from
their busy lives and enjoy a day of active, wholesome fun; and
Whereas Kids to Parks Day will--
(1) broaden an appreciation for nature and the outdoors in young
people;
(2) foster a safe setting for independent play and healthy adventure in
neighborhood parks; and
(3) facilitate self-reliance while strengthening communities: Now,
therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Senate--

(2) recognizes the importance of outdoor recreation and the
preservation of open spaces for the health and education of the
young people of the United States; and
(3) encourages the people of the United States to observe

118th CONGRESS
1st Session
S. RES. 227
Calling on the President to support the creation of an international
special tribunal to prosecute Russia's aggression against Ukraine.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
May 31 (legislative day, May 30), 2023
Mr. Cardin (for himself and Mr. Kaine) submitted the following
resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations
_______________________________________________________________________
RESOLUTION
Calling on the President to support the creation of an international
special tribunal to prosecute Russia's aggression against Ukraine.
Whereas, on February 24, 2022, Russia unleashed a full-scale invasion of Ukraine
in contravention of international law and the Charter of the United
Nations;
Whereas the Russian Armed Forces committed mass atrocities in Bucha, Irpin,
Kherson, Izyum, Mariupol, Dnipro, and Ukrainian towns occupied by the
Russian Federation, including rape, summary execution, and unlawful
violence and threats against civilians;
Whereas the Russian Armed Forces deliberately choose to target civilian
infrastructure to terrorize Ukrainian citizens;
Whereas, on September 21, 2022, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated to
the United Nations General Assembly that an aggression tribunal must be
established as a ``signal to all `would-be' aggressors, that they must
value peace or be brought to responsibility by the world'';
Whereas, on January 19, 2023, the European Parliament, by a vote of 472 to 19,
called for the establishment of ``a special international criminal
tribunal for the crime of aggression against Ukraine'' in order to
``send a very clear signal to both Russian society and the international
community that Putin and the Russian political and military leadership
can be convicted for the crime of aggression in Ukraine'';
Whereas, on March 27, 2023, the United States Ambassador-at-Large for Global
Criminal Justice, Dr. Beth Van Schaack, stated, ``There is no question
that Russia's aggression against Ukraine is a manifest violation of the
UN Charter.'';
Whereas Article 2(4) of the Charter of the United Nations states, ``All Members
shall refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of
force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any
state, or in any other manner inconsistent with the Purposes of the
United Nations.'';
Whereas United Nations General Assembly Resolution 3314 (XXIX), adopted by the
United Nations General Assembly on December 14, 1974, defines aggression
as ``the use of armed force by a State against the sovereignty,
territorial integrity or political independence of another State, or in
any other manner inconsistent with the Charter of the United Nations, as
set out in this Definition'';
Whereas Article 8 of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, as
amended by Resolution RC/Res. 6, adopted by the Review Conference at the
13th plenary meeting on June 11, 2010, states, in part: ``For the
purpose of this Statute, `crime of aggression' means the planning,
preparation, initiation or execution, by a person in a position
effectively to exercise control over or to direct the political or
military action of a State, of an act of aggression which, by its
character, gravity and scale, constitutes a manifest violation of the
Charter of the United Nations.'';
Whereas, on March 17, 2023, the Pre-Trial Chamber of the International Criminal
Court issued arrest warrants for President Vladimir Putin and Russian
Commissioner for Children's Rights Maria Lvova-Belova for their
responsibility in the war crimes of unlawful deportation and transfer of
children, and the International Criminal Court continues to investigate
other international crimes within its jurisdiction that have been
committed in Ukraine;
Whereas the International Criminal Court has jurisdiction over war crimes,
crimes against humanity, and genocide in Ukraine, but it does not have
jurisdiction over crimes of aggression in Ukraine because neither
Ukraine nor the Russian Federation have ratified the Rome Statute and
its amendments related to the crime of aggression;
Whereas the Russian Federation has committed manifest aggression against the
Ukrainian State for which its leadership must be held accountable;
Whereas the international community must hold those responsible for these
atrocities to account for their actions, including Russian President
Putin and all of the Members of the Security Council of Russia; and
Whereas an international special tribunal must be based on the adoption of a
United Nations General Assembly Resolution: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Senate--
(1) condemns, in the strongest terms, the Russian
Federation's full-scale war and aggression against Ukraine;
(2) regards the Russian Federation's aggression in Ukraine
as an affront to humanity and in contravention of international
law;
(3) calls on the United States to use its voice and vote in
international institutions to support the creation of a special
international criminal tribunal to hold accountable the leaders
of the Russian Federation who led and sanctioned aggression in
Ukraine;
(4) states its expectation that such a tribunal will be
formed pursuant to a United Nations General Assembly resolution
put forward by friends of Ukraine that would--
(A) direct the Secretary General of the United
Nations to negotiate with Ukraine the terms of the
tribunal's scope; and
(B) ensure that the role of the United Nations--
(i) would be complementary to the
jurisdiction of the International Criminal
Court; and
(ii) would not limit or affect the
jurisdiction of the International Criminal
Court, including its exercise of jurisdiction
over war crimes, crimes against humanity, and
possible genocide committed in the context of
Russia's ongoing aggression against Ukraine;
and
(5) stands with people of Ukraine in support of their
freedom and Ukraine's sovereignty against tyranny.

S. RES. 228
Recognizing the 50th anniversary of the Indiana Pacers' 1972-1973
American Basketball Association Championship and their third American
Basketball Association Championship in 5 seasons.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
May 31 (legislative day, May 30), 2023
Mr. Braun (for himself and Mr. Young) submitted the following
resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Commerce, Science,
and Transportation
_______________________________________________________________________
RESOLUTION
Recognizing the 50th anniversary of the Indiana Pacers' 1972-1973
American Basketball Association Championship and their third American
Basketball Association Championship in 5 seasons.
Whereas the Indiana Pacers were founded in 1967, as members of the American
Basketball Association;
Whereas the Indiana Pacers won American Basketball Association Championships in
the 1969-1970, 1971-1972, and 1972-1973 seasons and had 2 other
championship appearances;
Whereas, during the seasons between 1970 and 1975, the Indiana Pacers averaged
51 wins per season;
Whereas Mel Daniels, Freddie Lewis, Roger Brown, and Billy Keller were members
of all 3 Indiana Pacers championship teams;
Whereas the 1973 Indiana Pacers championship team had a strong native Hoosier
presence on the team;
Whereas the 1973 Indiana Pacers championship team was built around George
McGinnis, who attended George Washington Community High School in
Indianapolis, Indiana, and later attended Indiana University;
Whereas Billy Keller attended George Washington Community High School in
Indianapolis, Indiana, and later attended Purdue University;
Whereas Don Buse attended Holland High School in Holland, Indiana, and
Evansville College in Evansville, Indiana;
Whereas, during the 1972-1973 season, Don Buse, a rookie, made several
contributions, and Gus Johnson, a National Basketball Association
veteran at the end of his career, was brought onto the team to bring
bench strength and leadership;
Whereas the revived group finished with a 51 to 33 record after winning 11
consecutive games late in the 1972-1973 season, the fourth-best record
in the league behind the Carolina Cougars and the Kentucky Colonels in
the East and the Utah Stars in the West;
Whereas the Indiana Pacers took control of the 1972-1973 series by winning Game
4 on the home court of the Houston Rockets, as Billy Keller hit a game-
winning 3-pointer from the left wing off a broken play with 14 seconds
left for a 97 to 95 victory;
Whereas that shot gained historical value in passing years because William
Robert ``Slick'' Leonard rose off the bench and shouted, ``Boom, Baby!''
as the ball dropped through the net;
Whereas ``Boom, Baby!'' would become William Robert ``Slick'' Leonard's
signature call as a broadcaster on every 3-pointer by the Indiana Pacers
in following decades;
Whereas, on May 12, 1973, the Indiana Pacers beat the Kentucky Colonels 88 to 81
in Game 7 of the American Basketball Association Championship; and
Whereas that win gave the Indiana Pacers their third and final American
Basketball Association title, the most titles held by a team in the
history of the American Basketball Association: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That it is the sense of the Senate that--
(1) basketball has a rich history and passionate fan base
in the Hoosier State and the Indiana Pacers have highlighted
that rich history during the time in which they participated in
the American Basketball Association; and
(2) the history of the Indiana Pacers and their storied
legacy should be recognized, especially during 2023, which
marks the 50th anniversary of the Indiana Pacers' third and
last American Basketball Association title and championship.

118th CONGRESS
1st Session
S. RES. 229
Designating May 2023 as ``National Brain Tumor Awareness Month''.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
May 31 (legislative day, May 30), 2023
Mr. Daines (for himself, Mr. Markey, Mr. Rubio, Ms. Warren, Ms. Sinema,
and Mr. Warnock) submitted the following resolution; which was
considered and agreed to
_______________________________________________________________________
RESOLUTION
Designating May 2023 as ``National Brain Tumor Awareness Month''.
Whereas more than an estimated 94,390 individuals will be diagnosed with a
primary brain tumor in the United States in 2023, and an estimated
93,470 individuals in the United States were diagnosed with a primary
brain tumor in 2022;
Whereas an estimated 1,000,000 Americans are living with a brain tumor in the
United States;
Whereas, in the United States, brain tumors are--
(1) the leading cause of death from cancer in children who are under 14
years of age and teens who are under 19 years of age; and
(2) the second leading cause of death from cancer in young adults who
are between 15 and 39 years of age;
Whereas the average 5-year survival rate for an individual in the United States
following the diagnosis of a primary malignant brain tumor is only 35.7
percent;
Whereas it is estimated that 18,990 individuals in the United States will die as
a result of a malignant brain tumor in 2023;
Whereas brain tumors may be malignant or benign but can be life-threatening in
either case;
Whereas treatment of brain tumors is complicated by the fact that more than 100
types of brain tumors exist;
Whereas the treatment and removal of brain tumors present significant challenges
due to the uniquely complex and fragile nature of the brain;
Whereas brain tumors affect the primary organ in the human body that controls
not only cognitive ability, but the actions of every other organ and
limb in the body, leading to brain tumors being described as a disease
that affects the whole individual;
Whereas brain tumor research is supported by a number of private, nonprofit
research foundations and by Federal medical research institutions;
Whereas basic research may fuel advancements and development of new treatments
for brain tumors;
Whereas obstacles to the development of new treatments for brain tumors remain,
and there are limited strategies for the screening or early detection of
brain tumors;
Whereas, despite the high number of individuals diagnosed with a brain tumor
every year and the devastating prognoses for those individuals, only a
few treatments have been approved for malignant brain tumors since the
1980s and none of the treatments extend survival more than 2 years of
life, on average, or are considered to be curative.
Whereas the mortality rates associated with brain tumors have changed little
during the 30-year period preceding the date of introduction of this
resolution;
Whereas there is a need for greater public awareness of brain tumors, including
the difficulties associated with research on brain tumors and the
opportunities for advances in brain tumor research and treatment; and
Whereas May 2023, during which brain tumor advocates nationwide unite in
awareness, outreach, and advocacy activities, is an appropriate month to
recognize as ``National Brain Tumor Awareness Month'': Now, therefore,
be it
Resolved, That the Senate--
(1) designates May 2023 as ``National Brain Tumor Awareness
Month'';
(2) encourages increased public awareness of brain tumors
to honor the individuals who have lost their lives to a brain
tumor or currently live with a brain tumor diagnosis;
(3) supports efforts to develop better treatments for brain
tumors that will improve the quality of life and the long-term
prognoses of individuals diagnosed with a brain tumor;
(4) expresses its support for individuals who are battling
brain tumors, as well as the families, friends, and caregivers
of those individuals; and
(5) urges a collaborative approach to brain tumor research,
which is a promising means of advancing understanding of, and
treatment for, brain tumors.

S. RES. 23
Demanding that the Government of the People's Republic of China and the
Communist Party of China immediately release Mark Swidan.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
February 1, 2023
Mr. Cruz (for himself and Mr. Cornyn) submitted the following
resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations
_______________________________________________________________________
RESOLUTION
Demanding that the Government of the People's Republic of China and the
Communist Party of China immediately release Mark Swidan.
Whereas Mark Swidan is being unjustly and arbitrarily detained by the Government
of the People's Republic of China and the Communist Party of China
(CPC), according to the United States Government and the United Nations
Human Rights Council (UNHRC) Working Group on Arbitrary Detention;
Whereas Mark Swidan is a United States citizen from Luling, Texas, and is a
resident of Houston, Texas;
Whereas, on November 13, 2012, Mark Swidan was abducted by officers of the
Public Security Bureau while on a business trip to the People's Republic
of China, and on December 21, 2012, Swidan was formally arrested
following an indictment issued by the Public Prosecutions Office of the
People's Procuratorate of Jiangmen City alleging that Swidan was part of
a criminal conspiracy with 11 other individuals to manufacture and
traffic drugs;
Whereas, on April 30, 2019, a Chinese court sentenced Swidan to death, which he
has appealed;
Whereas security officials in the People's Republic of China repeatedly
attempted to coerce Swidan into signing a confession, but Swidan refused
to sign a confession and pleaded not guilty;
Whereas, according to evidence evaluated by the UNHRC Working Group on Arbitrary
Detention--
(1) no drugs were found on Swidan or in his hotel room;
(2) the prosecution did not produce any forensic evidence of the
alleged offenses;
(3) records in Swidan's passport indicate he was not in the People's
Republic of China during the time of the offenses; and
(4) the 11 other individuals indicted in relation to the alleged
conspiracy could not identify Swidan;
Whereas officials of the People's Republic of China and the CPC have maliciously
and systematically denied Swidan's mother Katherine Swidan, a resident
of Texas, and other members of his family the ability to contact him;
Whereas officials of the People's Republic of China and the CPC have denied and
continue to deny United States diplomats full consular access to Swidan,
in violation of international norms;
Whereas Swidan's detention has been and continues to be inhumane, and includes
exposure to extreme weather conditions, sleep deprivation, and physical
and psychological abuse;
Whereas Swidan's health has precipitously deteriorated and security officials in
the People's Republic of China continue to deny independent or competent
medical care and evaluation to Swidan;
Whereas humanitarian organizations of the United States, including the Dui Hua
Foundation, which helped put this case before the Working Group, and the
Global Liberty Alliance, which has asked the Sister Cities programs to
sever relationships with Jiangmen until Swidan is released, have sought
to highlight the injustice and conditions of Swidan's detention;
Whereas the UNHRC Working Group on Arbitrary Detention--
(1) found that Swidan is being held in violation of customary
international law;
(2) emphasized the nonconformity by the People's Republic of China with
international norms, including the Universal Declaration of Human Rights;
and
(3) stressed that ``the appropriate remedy would be to release Mr.
Swidan immediately and accord him an enforceable right to compensation and
other reparations, in accordance with international law'': Now, therefore,
be it
Resolved, That the Senate--
(1) demands that the Government of the People's Republic of
China and the Communist Party of China immediately release Mark
Swidan;
(2) condemns the Government of the People's Republic of
China and the Communist Party of China for refusing to provide
Swidan with--
(A) regular communication with his family;
(B) access to United States diplomats; and
(C) independent and competent medical care and
evaluation; and
(3) calls on the United States Government to deepen and
prioritize efforts to secure the release of Swidan, including
by--
(A) urging Chinese counterparts at every level of
engagement to release Swidan, and
(B) using the voice and vote of United States
diplomats in international forums to highlight Swidan's
case.

Recognizing the 102nd anniversary of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
May 31 (legislative day, May 30), 2023
Ms. Warren (for herself, Ms. Cortez Masto, Mr. Kaine, Ms. Hirono, Ms.
Klobuchar, Ms. Smith, Mr. Casey, Mr. Padilla, Mr. Markey, Mr.

following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on the
Judiciary
_______________________________________________________________________
RESOLUTION
Recognizing the 102nd anniversary of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre.
Whereas, in the early 20th century, de jure segregation confined the Black
residents of Tulsa, Oklahoma, into the ``Greenwood District'', which
they built into a thriving community with a nationally renowned
entrepreneurial center known as the ``Black Wall Street'';
Whereas, at the time, White supremacy and racist violence were common throughout
the United States and went largely unchecked by the justice system;
Whereas reports of an alleged and disputed incident on the morning of May 30,
1921, between two teenagers, a Black man and a White woman, caused the
White community of Tulsa, including the Tulsa Tribune, to call for a
lynching amidst a climate of White racial hostility and White resentment
over Black economic success;
Whereas, on May 31, 1921, a mob of armed White men descended on the Greenwood
District in Tulsa and launched what is now known as the ``Tulsa Race
Massacre'';
Whereas Tulsa municipal and county authorities failed to take actions to calm or
contain the violence, and civil and law enforcement officials deputized
many White men who were participants in the violence as their agents,
directly contributing to the violence through overt and often illegal
acts;
Whereas, over a period of 24 hours, the violence of the White mob led to the
death of an estimated 300 Black residents, and over 800 reports of
injuries;
Whereas the White mob looted, damaged, burned, or otherwise destroyed
approximately 40 square blocks of the Greenwood District, including an
estimated 1,256 homes of Black residents, and virtually every other
structure, including churches, schools, businesses, a hospital, and a
library, leaving nearly 9,000 Black residents of Tulsa homeless and
effectively wiping out tens of millions of dollars in Black prosperity
and wealth in Tulsa;
Whereas, in the wake of the Tulsa Race Massacre, the Governor of Oklahoma
declared martial law, and units of the Oklahoma National Guard
participated in the mass arrests of all or nearly all of the surviving
residents of Greenwood, removing them from Greenwood to other parts of
Tulsa and unlawfully detaining them in holding centers;
Whereas Oklahoma local and State governments dismissed claims arising from the
1921 Tulsa Race Massacre for decades, and the event was effectively
erased from collective memory and history until, in 1997, the Oklahoma
State Legislature finally created a commission to study the event;
Whereas, on February 28, 2001, the commission issued a report that detailed, for
the first time, the extent of the Tulsa Race Massacre and decades-long
efforts to suppress its recollection;
Whereas none of the law enforcement officials or any of the hundreds of other
White mob members who participated in the violence were ever prosecuted
or held accountable for the hundreds of lives lost and tens of millions
of dollars of Black wealth destroyed, despite the Tulsa Race Massacre
Commission confirming their roles in the Tulsa Race Massacre, nor was
any compensation ever provided to the victims of the Tulsa Race Massacre
or their descendants;
Whereas State government and city officials not only abdicated their
responsibility to rebuild and repair the Greenwood community in the wake
of the violence, but actively blocked efforts to do so, contributing to
continued racial disparities in Tulsa akin to those that Black people
face across the United States;
Whereas the pattern of violence against Black people in the United States, often
at the hands of law enforcement, shows that the fight to end State-
sanctioned violence against Black people continues; and
Whereas this year marks the 102nd anniversary of the Tulsa Race Massacre: Now,
therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Senate--
(1) recognizes the 102nd anniversary of the Tulsa Race
Massacre;
(2) acknowledges the historical significance of this event
as one of the largest single instances of State-sanctioned
violence against Black people in the history of the United
States;
(3) honors the lives and legacies of the estimated 300
Black individuals who were killed during the Tulsa Race
Massacre and the nearly 9,000 Black individuals who were left
homeless and penniless;
(4) condemns the participants of the Tulsa Race Massacre,
including the White municipal officials and law enforcement who
directly participated in or who aided and abetted the unlawful
violence;
(5) condemns past and present efforts to cover up the truth
and shield the White community, and especially State and local
officials, from accountability for the Tulsa Race Massacre and
other instances of violence at the hands of law enforcement;
(6) condemns the continued legacy of racism, including
systemic racism, and White supremacy against Black people in
the United States, particularly in the form of police
brutality;
(7) encourages education about the Tulsa Race Massacre,
including the horrors of the massacre itself, the history of
White supremacy that fueled the massacre, and subsequent
attempts to deny or cover up the Tulsa Race Massacre, in all
elementary and secondary education settings and in institutions
of higher education in the United States; and
(8) recognizes the commitment of Congress to acknowledge
and learn from the history of racism and racial violence in the
United States, including the Tulsa Race Massacre, to reverse
the legacy of White supremacy and fight for racial justice.

1st Session
S. RES. 231
Expressing support for the designation of June 2, 2023, as ``National
Gun Violence Awareness Day'' and June 2023 as ``National Gun Violence
Awareness Month''.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
June 1, 2023
Mr. Durbin (for himself, Ms. Duckworth, Mr. Markey, Mr. Welch, Mrs.
Feinstein, Mr. Murphy, Mr. Menendez, Mr. Merkley, Mr. Cardin, Mr.
Casey, Mr. Wyden, Mr. Booker, Mr. Lujan, Ms. Hirono, Ms. Baldwin, Mr.
Reed, Mr. Kaine, Mr. Warnock, Ms. Cantwell, Ms. Klobuchar, Mr.
Heinrich, and Mr. Padilla) submitted the following resolution; which
was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary
_______________________________________________________________________
RESOLUTION
Expressing support for the designation of June 2, 2023, as ``National
Gun Violence Awareness Day'' and June 2023 as ``National Gun Violence
Awareness Month''.
Whereas, each year in the United States, more than--
(1) 43,000 individuals are killed and 76,000 individuals are wounded by
gunfire;
(2) 17,000 individuals are killed in homicides involving guns;
(3) 25,000 individuals die by suicide using a gun; and
(4) 500 individuals are killed in unintentional shootings;
Whereas, since 1968, more individuals have died from guns in the United States
than have died on the battlefields of all the wars in the history of the
United States;
Whereas 2022 was an especially deadly year for the United States, with an
estimated 20,100 people killed in homicides involving guns or
nonsuicide-related shootings;
Whereas, in 2022, unintentional shootings by children surpassed 350 incidents
for the third year in a row, resulting in nearly 140 deaths annually;
Whereas, by one count, in 2022 in the United States, there were 646 mass-
shooting incidents in which not fewer than 4 people were killed or
wounded by gunfire;
Whereas, from 2010 to 2021 in the United States, 65,000 military veterans died
by suicide, the overwhelming majority of such deaths being the result of
a firearm;
Whereas, every year in the United States, nearly 4,000 children and teens are
killed by gun violence and 15,000 children and teens are shot and
wounded;
Whereas approximately 9,300 individuals in the United States under 25 years of
age die because of gun violence annually, including Hadiya Pendleton,
who, in 2013, was killed at 15 years of age in Chicago, Illinois, while
standing in a park;
Whereas, on June 2, 2023, to recognize the 26th birthday of Hadiya Pendleton
(born June 2, 1997), people across the United States will recognize
``National Gun Violence Awareness Day'' and wear orange in tribute to--
(1) Hadiya Pendleton and other victims of gun violence; and
(2) the loved ones of those victims; and
Whereas June 2023 is an appropriate month to designate as ``National Gun
Violence Awareness Month'': Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Senate--
(1) supports--
(A) the designation of ``National Gun Violence
Awareness Month'' and the goals and ideals of that
month; and
(B) the designation of ``National Gun Violence
Awareness Day'', in remembrance of the victims of gun
violence; and
(2) calls on the people of the United States to--
(A) promote greater awareness of gun violence and
gun safety;
(B) wear orange, the color that hunters wear to
show that they are not targets, on ``National Gun
Violence Awareness Day'';
(C) concentrate heightened attention on gun
violence during the summer months, when gun violence
typically increases; and
(D) bring community members and leaders together to
discuss ways to make communities safer.
