H. RES. 551 
Expressing support for the designation of August 1, 2021, as ‘‘Gold Star 
Children’s Day’’. 
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
JULY 22, 2021 
Mr. PHILLIPS (for himself, Mrs. KIM of California, Mr. RYAN, and Mr. KELLY 
of Mississippi) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to 
the Committee on Armed Services 
RESOLUTION 
Expressing support for the designation of August 1, 2021, 
as ‘‘Gold Star Children’s Day’’. 
Whereas the recognition of Gold Star Families in the United 
States dates back to World War I, when the families of 
fallen service members displayed a service flag in the win-
dow of their homes with a gold star; 
Whereas in 1936, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed 
into law legislation declaring Gold Star Mother’s Day, a 
national observance honoring the mothers of fallen serv-
ice members annually on the last Sunday of September; 
Whereas since 2010, the Senate has honored Gold Star 
Spouses by resolution annually on April 5, recognizing 
the unique sacrifices made by spouses of fallen service 
members;

•HRES 551 IH 
Whereas thousands of sons and daughters of military families 
have lost mothers or fathers who served in the Armed 
Forces and also deserve national recognition for the bur-
den and legacy they carry; and 
Whereas no date has existed to specifically recognize the chil-
dren of fallen service members of the United States as 
part of a national debt of gratitude that the people of the 
United States owe to the service members who sacrificed 
all in protecting the freedom of the United States and 
the people of the United States: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) supports the designation of ‘‘Gold Star Chil-
dren’s Day’’; 
(2) honors the sacrifices and hardships of the 
children of fallen service members; and 
(3) encourages the people of the United States 
to observe ‘‘Gold Star Children’s Day’’ in support of 
children of the fallen men and women of the Armed 
Forces of the United States.

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
JULY 26, 2021 
Mr. MCCARTHY submitted the following resolution; which was laid on the 
table 
RESOLUTION 
Raising a question of the privileges of the House. 
Whereas, on June 30, 2021, the House voted to establish a 
‘‘Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack 
on the United States Capitol.’’; 
Whereas, H. Res. 503 states that ‘‘The Speaker shall appoint 
13 Members to the Select Committee, 5 of whom shall be 
appointed after consultation with the Minority Leader.’’; 
Whereas, on June 30, 2021, Speaker Nancy Pelosi stated 
that ‘‘We believe that Congress must in the spirit of bi-
partisanship and patriotism establish this commission.’’; 
Whereas, when asked during a press conference on July 22 
about the partisanship of the committee, Speaker Pelosi 
stated that ‘‘the less partisan it is, the more it will be 
accepted by the American people.’’;

Whereas, in a statement put out by the Speaker’s Office, 
Speaker Pelosi stated that ‘‘our imperative must be to 
find the truth. We must do so in a way that retains the 
trust of the American people in the proceedings, so that 
they will have confidence in the truth that emerges.’’; 
Whereas, for the first known time in the history of the 
House, the Speaker of the House rejected two of the mi-
nority leader’s nominees to a Select Committee.; 
Whereas, Speaker Pelosi’s own press release acknowledged 
that this was an ‘‘unprecedented decision.’’; and 
Whereas, Speaker Pelosi’s refusal to seat all five Republican 
Members directly harms the legitimacy, credibility, and 
integrity of the proceedings of the Select Committee: 
Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) condemns the refusal of Speaker Nancy 
Pelosi to seat all five Republican Members to the Se-
lect Committee; and 
(2) urges the Speaker to make the following ap-
pointments to the Select Committee: Representative 
Jim Banks of Indiana, Representative Jim Jordan 
of Ohio, Representative Rodney Davis of Illinois, 
Representative Kelly Armstrong of North Dakota, 
and Representative Troy Nehls of Texas.
