Whereas, since 2010, new HIV infections have declined by an 
estimated 16 percent, from 2.1 million to 1.7 million in 
2018; 
Whereas progress has been made globally in reducing mother- 
to-child transmission of HIV, with new transmissions 
among children declining 41 percent since 2010; 
Whereas girls and women make up more than half of the 
37.9 million people living with HIV worldwide; 
Whereas young women and adolescent girls bear a dispropor-
tionate burden of HIV worldwide (18,800,000); 
Whereas AIDS-related opportunistic infections are the third- 
leading cause of death among women aged 15 to 29 glob-
ally; 
Whereas AIDS-related opportunistic infections remain the 
leading cause of death among women aged 15 to 49 glob-
ally; 
Whereas low-income and middle-income countries continue to 
bear the brunt of the AIDS pandemic, with sub-Saharan 
Africa serving as the home of 54 percent of all adults 
and children living with HIV, 56 percent of whom are 
women and girls; 
Whereas people living with HIV/AIDS are frequently suscep-
tible to other infections, such as hepatitis C and tuber-
culosis (TB);

fected with latent tuberculosis, which remains the leading 
cause of death among people living with HIV;

H. J. RES. 10 
Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to prohibit 
Members of Congress from receiving compensation during a fiscal year 
unless both Houses of Congress have agreed to a concurrent resolution 
on the budget for that fiscal year prior to the beginning of that fiscal 
year. 
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives 
of the United States of America in Congress assembled

(3) In matters of imminent armed attacks, the 
executive branch should indicate to Congress why 
military action was necessary within a certain win-
dow of opportunity, the possible harm that missing 
the window would cause, and why the action was 
likely to prevent future disastrous attacks against 
the United States. 
(4) The United States has national interests in 
preserving its partnership with Iraq and other coun-
tries in the region, including by— 
(A) combating terrorists, including the Is-
lamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS); 
(B) preventing Iran from achieving a nu-
clear weapons capability; and 
(C) supporting the people of Iraq, Iran, 
and other countries throughout the Middle East 
who demand an end to government corruption 
and violations of basic human rights. 
(5) Over the past eight months, in response to 
rising tensions with Iran, the United States has in-
troduced over 15,000 additional forces into the Mid-
dle East. The killing of Iranian General Qassem 
Soleimani, as well as Iran’s ballistic missile attack 
on Iraqi bases, risks significant escalation in hos-
tilities between the United States and Iran.

high; 
Whereas the Act entitled ‘‘An Act to insure that certain 
buildings financed with Federal funds are so designed 
and constructed as to be accessible to the physically 
handicapped’’, approved August 12, 1968 (42 U.S.C. 
4151 et seq.) (commonly known as the Architectural Bar-
riers Act of 1968), was enacted to ensure that certain 
federally funded facilities are designed and constructed to 
be accessible to people with disabilities; 
Whereas the United States Access Board (in this preamble 
referred to as the ‘‘Board’’) has developed new guidelines 
for public rights-of-way that will address various issues, 
including access for blind pedestrians at street crossings, 
wheelchair access to on-street parking, and various con-
straints posed by space limitations, roadway design prac-
tices, slope, and terrain; 
Whereas the Board’s new guidelines will cover pedestrian ac-
cess to sidewalks and streets, including crosswalks, curb 
ramps, street furnishings, pedestrian signals, parking, 
and other components of public rights-of-way; 
Whereas the Board’s aim in developing these guidelines is to 
ensure that access for persons with disabilities is pro-
vided wherever a pedestrian way is newly built or altered, 
and that the same degree of convenience, connection, and 
safety afforded the public generally is available to pedes-
trians with disabilities; 
Whereas once these guidelines are adopted by the Depart-
ment of Justice, they will become enforceable standards 
under title II of the ADA; and
