Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that 
the People’s Republic of China should be held account-
able for its handling of COVID–19. 
Whereas the first reported case of Coronavirus Disease 2019 
(commonly referred to as ‘‘COVID–19’’) was reported as

Whereas there is a strong need to recognize America’s leader-
ship in robotics technology, educate the public on robotics 
technology’s broad potential, growing importance, and fu-
ture impact on American society, underscore the need for 
increased investment in robotics technology research and 
development, and inspire the Nation’s youth to pursue 
careers in robotics and other STEM-related fields; 
Whereas the United States has the largest number of aca-
demic and research organizations with dedicated pro-
grams focused on the advancement of robotics tech-
nology; 
Whereas aptitude in mathematics, science, and engineering is 
essential for a knowledge-based society; 
Whereas the Federal Government must continue to make 
deep, hands-on STEM experiences a true priority in 
school districts around the country by unlocking in-
creased funding for programming that— 
(1) builds strong foundations for STEM literacy; 
(2) increases diversity, equity, and inclusion in 
STEM; and 
(3) prepares the STEM workforce for the future; 
Whereas not all STEM jobs of the 21st century require a tra-
ditional 4-year degree, so greater pathways toward 
STEM education must be encouraged; 
Whereas robotics has matured into an all-encompassing and 
enabling technology that, as a pillar of 21st-century 
American innovation, is positioned to fuel a broad array 
of next generation products and applications, and trans-
form our society;

years to become a worldwide $27,000,000,000 industry; 
and 
Whereas robotics is a critical technology capable in the near 
term of contributing to the economic recovery by creating 
new jobs, increasing productivity, improving quality, and 
increasing worker safety: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) supports the designation of a ‘‘National 
FIRST Robotics Day’’ and its celebration around 
the United States; 
(2) recognizes the continuing importance of the 
National Science Foundation’s math and science 
education programs; 
(3) encourages States and local educational 
agencies to fund afterschool robotics programs using 
funds made available by title IV, part A of the Every 
Student Succeeds Act; and 
(4) encourages schools and educators to observe 
the day with appropriate activities that teach stu-
dents about robotics and engage them about the 
study of mathematics and science.

Declaring racism a public health crisis. 
Whereas since the Nation’s founding, the United States has 
had a longstanding history and legacy of racism, mis-
treatment, and discrimination against African Americans, 
Latinos, Native Americans, and other people of color; 
Whereas the United States ratified over 350 treaties with 
sovereign indigenous communities, has broken the prom-
ises made in such treaties, and has historically failed to 
carry out its trust responsibilities to Native Americans, 
including American Indians, Alaska Natives, and Native 
Hawaiians, as made evident by the chronic and pervasive 
underfunding of the Indian Health Service and Tribal, 
Urban Indian, and Native Hawaiian health care, the vast

(1) the global outbreak of Coronavirus Disease

well as its aggressive domestic and global propa-

(2) the People’s Republic of China should be 
held accountable for its handling of the COVID–19; 
and 
(3) the United States and other countries 
should permanently withhold payments on debts 
owed to the People’s Republic of China in amounts 
equal to the public costs incurred by such countries 
relating to COVID–19.

Whereas while the extraordinary access inside Capitol Hill 
granted to credentialed members of the media helps fa-
cilitate accurate reporting to the American public, it is 
also the kind of access coveted by foreign powers seeking 
sensitive information from inside Congress, and those 
with state-sponsored media outlets currently can easily 
obtain such access, even if they openly flout United 
States laws; 
Whereas in order to effectively safeguard the national secu-

sored media outlets must be required to strictly comply 
with the Foreign Agents Registration Act of 1938 
(FARA) and other United States laws as a prerequisite
