Raising awareness for the sarcoma cancer chordoma.

Whereas each year, thousands of people are diagnosed with

Whereas chordomas are among the most complicated tumors

Whereas surgery or radiation performed by a skilled treat-
ment team can be curative for some patients, but even 
with the best care possible, the recurrence rate remains 
high; and 
Whereas no drugs are known to cure or effectively control the 
disease, meaning that patients whose disease progresses 
after exhausting surgical and radiation options have little 
hope for a full recovery: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Rep-
resentatives that chordoma patients and families need in-
creased funding and support for— 
(1) accurate and early diagnosis; 
(2) 
the 
development 
of 
new 
treatments, 
diagnostics, and cures; 
(3) fewer hurdles between research and new 
treatments; and 
(4) patient-centric approaches to drug discovery 
and development.

the Pentagon. Whether Secretary Austin knowingly 
or unknowingly allowed an enemy to collect data on 
U.S. military bases, his conduct proves him unfit for 
Office and shows a dereliction of duty. 
(3) Despite the balloon being tracked by the 
Pentagon when it entered Montana air space on 
January 31, 2023, Secretary Austin did not order 
the balloon to be intercepted. Moreover, Secretary 
Austin did not organize a briefing for Members of 
Congress until the presence of a Chinese balloon was 
publicly reported and Secretary Austin has never 
spoken directly to the American people impacted. 
(4) In the months to come, under the direction 
of Secretary Austin, Pentagon officials lied to the 
American people about the incident and the dangers 
posed to the United States. It was reported in De-
cember of 2023 that the Chinese balloon used a U.S. 
internet service provider to transmit data and that 
the Biden Administration intended to stay silent had 
American citizens not reported the balloon. 
As a result of Secretary Austin’s failure to act, an 
enemy of the United States was allowed to access and 
transmit data and images, threatening American national 
security.
