close collaboration with the Office of Democratic Institu-

Whereas the Anti-Semitism Report excerpts some key parts 
of the definition, including: ‘‘Anti-Semitism is a certain 
perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred to-
ward Jews. Rhetorical and physical manifestations of 
anti-Semitism are directed toward Jewish or non-Jewish 
individuals and/or their property, toward Jewish commu-
nity institutions and religious facilities.’’; 
Whereas the Anti-Semitism Report also states: ‘‘Manifesta-
tions of anti-Semitism ‘could also target the state of 
Israel, conceived as a Jewish collectivity. Anti-Semitism 
frequently charges Jews with conspiring to harm human-

go wrong.’’ It is expressed in speech, writing, visual 
forms and action, and employs sinister stereotypes and 
negative character traits.’ ’’; 
Whereas, for purposes of this resolution, the term ‘‘anti-Sem-
itism’’ shall have the meaning given that term in the 
Anti-Semitism Report, including Holocaust denial or 
trivialization and denial of the Jewish people’s right to 
self-determination by claiming that the existence of the 
State of Israel is a manifestation of racism, requiring be-

Whereas an estimated 30,000 to 50,000 people are affected

undiagnosed or misdiagnosed; 
Whereas myositis is a general term used to describe swelling

more severe than just inflammation; 
Whereas myositis patients suffer from their immune systems 
attacking their body’s own normal, healthy tissue, result-
ing in inflammation or swelling; 
Whereas inflammatory myopathies are thought to be auto-
immune diseases, such that the body’s immune system, 
which normally fights infections and viruses, does not 
stop fighting once the infection or virus is gone; 
Whereas myositis can cause muscle weakness, and patients 
often live in chronic pain and have long-term health prob-
lems that lead to permanent disability; 
Whereas myositis is difficult to diagnose and treatment is 
often delayed, resulting in unnecessary suffering; 
Whereas many patients with treatable forms of myositis often 
have severe long-term disabilities because of failure to di-
agnose and/or treat the disease correctly;
•HRES 974 EH 
Whereas some myositis patients will die at a much earlier age 
than they would have if they had received the proper 
care, particularly for the children who have permanent 
scarring and deformities due to failure to treat properly; 
Whereas The Myositis Association, the national patient advo-
cacy organization serving the myositis patient commu-
nity, focuses its efforts on public policy, research funding, 
patient services, and public awareness and education re-
lated to developing effective treatments and a cure for 
myositis; 
Whereas a National Myositis Awareness Day would educate 
communities across the Nation about myositis and the 
need for research funding, accurate diagnosis, and effec-
tive treatments; and 
Whereas it would be appropriate to observe September 21,

fore, be it
