IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
NOVEMBER 14, 2024 
Mr. JOYCE of Pennsylvania (for himself and Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina) 
submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee 
on Energy and Commerce 
RESOLUTION 
Supporting the recognition of November as ‘‘National Bread 
Month’’ and celebrating bread as a nutritious, affordable, 
and culturally significant staple food. 
Whereas bread has been a staple food enjoyed by cultures 
worldwide for centuries, with its versatility, nutrition, and 
affordability making it an essential part of diets across 
the United States; 
Whereas enriched and whole grain breads provide essential 
nutrients, with grain foods like bread contributing to 
nearly 40 percent of dietary fiber in the American diet 
and delivering vitamins, including folate, thiamine, 
niacin, vitamin B6 , riboflavin, and vitamin A;

Whereas bread also provides minerals necessary for good 
health, such as iron, zinc, manganese, copper, magne-
sium, phosphorus, and selenium; 
Whereas the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 
credits enriched grains for reducing neural tube birth de-
fects by nearly one-third in the United States; 
Whereas bread can be paired with a variety of foods, making 
it an adaptable, nutritious choice that complements pro-
teins, vegetables, soups, and salads for balanced and sat-
isfying meals; 
Whereas bread varieties such as loaves, boules, naan, roti, ba-
guettes, pita, tortillas, and many more reflect the cul-
inary diversity of cultures around the globe, underscoring 
the universal role of bread in bringing communities to-
gether; and 
Whereas grain foods like bread are affordable, shelf-stable, 
and accessible, offering vital nutrition and helping to 
combat food insecurity by being a dependable food source 
for households of all incomes: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) recognizes ‘‘National Bread Month’’ as an 
opportunity to celebrate bread’s role as a nutritious, 
versatile, and culturally significant food; 
(2) highlights the contributions of grain foods 
like bread to public health and balanced diets; 
(3) commends the American commercial baking 
industry for providing a wide variety of affordable 
and accessible grain foods; and

Whereas fibroids may cause significant morbidity through 
their presence in the uterus and pelvic cavity, causing 
significant pelvic pain, abnormal uterine bleeding, repro-
ductive dysfunction, miscarriages, and even infertility; 
Whereas the pain, discomfort, stress, and other physical and 
emotional symptoms of living with fibroids may signifi-
cantly interfere with a woman’s quality of life, compro-
mising her ability to function normally, work, or care for

women developing a uterine fibroid by age 35, and 80 
percent of women developing a uterine fibroid by age 50; 
Whereas the exact number of affected women is unknown, as 
early detection and diagnosis are difficult because only 1 
out of 4 women who have a uterine fibroid exhibit symp-
toms severe enough to require treatment; 
Whereas the overall incidence of uterine fibroids is estimated 
to disproportionately impact Black and Hispanic women, 
who also experience more severe symptoms, resulting in 
an incidence rate that is 3 times greater in women with 
Black ancestry and 2 times greater in Hispanic women 
compared to Caucasian women; 
Whereas a hysterectomy, or removal of the uterus, is among 
the most common surgical treatments for uterine 
fibroids, and more than 200,000 hysterectomies are per-
formed each year to treat uterine fibroids, at an esti-
mated annual cost of more than $2,000,000,000; 
Whereas uterine fibroids were estimated to cost the United 
States $5,900,000,000 to $34,400,000,000 annually with 
an estimated annual lost work cost of $1,600,000,000 to
