ing the need to reduce the influence of money in politics. 
Resolved, 
SECTION 1. FULL DISCLOSURE AND REDUCING THE INFLU-

the corrupting influence of money in politics;

Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that offices attached 
to the seat of Government should not be required to exercise their 
offices in the District of Columbia. 
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
JANUARY 10, 2017 
Mr. CHAFFETZ submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the 
Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, and in addition to the 
Committee on Armed Services, for a period to be subsequently deter-

RESOLUTION 
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that 
offices attached to the seat of Government should not 
be required to exercise their offices in the District of 
Columbia. 
Whereas section 72 of title 4, United States Code, requires 
all offices attached to the seat of Government to be exer-
cised in the District of Columbia; 
Whereas with the development of modern communication 
technologies and the increased ease of travel, Federal 
agencies are able to perform their duties from areas out-
side the District of Columbia;

•HRES 38 IH 
Whereas based on the information collected by the 2010 
United States Census, there is a correlation between the 
centralization of Federal agencies in the District of Co-
lumbia and the median income of the metropolitan area 
of the District of Columbia, which is higher than the me-
dian income of the United States; 
Whereas Federal agencies employ thousands of individuals 
and provide jobs and economic benefits to the areas in 
which the agencies are located; 
Whereas the focus of many Federal agencies involves indus-
tries located in areas across the United States and out-
side the District of Columbia; and 
Whereas the impact of regulations can be perceived more eas-
ily by those individuals who are proximate to the affected 
industries: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) recognizes that it is no longer necessary for 
all Federal agencies to be located in the District of 
Columbia; 
(2) determines that Executive agencies, as de-
fined in section 105 of title 5, United States Code, 
and military departments, as defined in section 102 
of such title, should be relocated outside the District 
of Columbia; and 
(3) calls on the head of each Executive agency 
and military department to recommend appropriate 
alternate locations throughout the United States to

H. Res. 397 
In the House of Representatives, U. S., 
June 27, 2017. 
Whereas more than 250,000 Americans died in the Second 
World War to liberate Europe from the scourge of geno-
cidal fascism; 
Whereas in the wake of the cataclysm of the Second World 
War, the United States, Canada, and European partners 
founded the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) 
in Washington in 1949; 
Whereas the foundation of NATO is collective defense as enu-
merated in Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty which 
states that, ‘‘The Parties agree that an armed attack 
against one or more of them in Europe or North America 
shall be considered an attack against them all.’’; 
Whereas NATO is one of the most successful military alli-
ances in history, deterring the outbreak of another world 
war, protecting the territorial integrity of its members, 
and seeing the Cold War through to a peaceful conclu-
sion; 
Whereas Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty has only been 
invoked once in history when alliance members came to 
the aid of the United States following the terrorist at-
tacks of September 11, 2001;
•HRES 397 EH 
Whereas NATO allies and partners, including Canada and 
countries in Central, Eastern, and Northern Europe, in-
cluding countries of the Western Balkans, and the former 
Soviet Union have stood alongside the United States in 
joint operations in the Western Balkans, Afghanistan, 
Iraq, and elsewhere around the globe; 
Whereas NATO remains the foundation of United States for-
eign policy of promoting a Europe that is whole, free, 
and at peace; 
Whereas at the Wales Summit in 2014, NATO leaders 
agreed that each alliance member would spend at least 2 
percent of its nation’s gross domestic product on defense 
by 2024; 
Whereas multiple Presidents have reaffirmed the commitment 
of the United States to the collective defense guarantees 
in Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty; and 
Whereas the Constitution of the United States grants Con-
gress the sole power to declare war: Now, therefore, be 
it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) solemnly reaffirms the commitment of the 
United States to the North Atlantic Treaty Organiza-
tion’s principle of collective defense as enumerated in Ar-
ticle 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty; 
(2) strongly supports the decision at the NATO 
Wales Summit in 2014 that each alliance member would

Whereas these organizations have exposed the extreme suf-

Whereas 9 out of 10 Americans agree incivility leads to in-
timidation, threats, harassment, discrimination, violence, 
and cyberbullying; 
Whereas a majority of Americans believe incivility in our poli-
tics encourages general incivility in society and deters 
citizens from engaging in public service; 
Whereas racial and religious minorities, the homeless, people 
with disabilities, the poor, and law enforcement officers 
report having experienced the most incivility; 
Whereas civility training in schools, a national campaign to 
promote civility, a conscious public effort to practice civil-
ity, and a National Day of Civility may combat the 
threats posed by increasing incivility and distrust in our 
institutions; and 
Whereas July 12th would be an appropriate day to designate
