H. RES. 457 
Expressing that the United States must establish electricity as a basic human 
right and public good, and eradicate the reliance on monopolized, profit- 
driven utility corporations and providers and the flawed regulatory regime 
that has failed to regulate these utilities in the public interest. 
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
JUNE 4, 2021 
Ms. BUSH (for herself, Mr. BOWMAN, Ms. OCASIO-CORTEZ, Ms. TLAIB, Ms. 
NEWMAN, Mr. JONES, Ms. PRESSLEY, Ms. OMAR, and Mr. GRIJALVA) 
submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee 
on Energy and Commerce 
RESOLUTION 
Expressing that the United States must establish electricity 
as a basic human right and public good, and eradicate 
the reliance on monopolized, profit-driven utility corpora-
tions and providers and the flawed regulatory regime 
that has failed to regulate these utilities in the public 
interest. 
Whereas scientists globally have determined that the human- 
caused climate emergency is bringing widespread harms, 
including deadly heat waves and drought, severe flooding 
and storm events, threats to public health and safety, 
limited and inconsistent water and energy access, and 
rampant biodiversity loss;

Whereas energy, water, broadband, and other utilities are 
basic needs for survival and good health and should be 
publicly owned and accessible to all; 
Whereas the current energy system reflects historically en-
trenched, structural racism, whereby Black, Brown, In-
digenous, and other communities of color face dispropor-
tionately high energy burdens, the threat of and actual 
disconnection from service, and local air and water pollu-
tion from fossil fuel energy generation; 
Whereas, one-third of people in the United States struggle 
annually to pay their electricity bills, with Black, Brown, 
Indigenous, and people of color hit the hardest of 
25,000,000 households that have had to forgo food or 
medicine to pay utilities bills, 7,000,000 said they had to 
make that decision every month; 
Whereas pollution from gas infrastructure, often owned by 
the private energy industry, has increased the risk of 
cancer for 1,000,000 Black Americans, and Black com-
munities have 1.54 times the exposure to particulate mat-
ter compared to the overall American population; 
Whereas the status quo energy system threatens to bring the 
planet past climate tipping points that cannot be re-
versed, which threaten more catastrophic impacts; 
Whereas to mitigate the climate emergency and maintain a 
chance of meeting the 1.5 degree Celsius global warming 
target, United States greenhouse gas emissions must de-
cline to zero by 2030; 
Whereas the United States is the world’s largest historic 
emitter of greenhouse gas pollution, responsible for ap-
proximately 25 percent of cumulative carbon dioxide 
emissions since 1870;

Expressing support for the designation of July 16 as ‘‘National Atomic 
Veterans Day’’. 
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
JUNE 4, 2021 
Ms. SPANBERGER (for herself, Ms. JACKSON LEE, Mr. TAYLOR, and Mr. ROD-
NEY DAVIS of Illinois) submitted the following resolution; which was re-
ferred to the Committee on Veterans’ Affairs 
RESOLUTION 
Expressing support for the designation of July 16 as 
‘‘National Atomic Veterans Day’’. 
Whereas more than 200,000 veterans of the United States, 
in service during the period between 1945 and 1963, par-
ticipated in nuclear tests, served with the United States 
military occupation forces in or around Hiroshima and 
Nagasaki before 1946, or were held as prisoners of war 
in or near Hiroshima or Nagasaki; 
Whereas July 16 is the anniversary of ‘‘Trinity’’, the world’s 
first detonation of a nuclear device in Alamogordo, New 
Mexico on July 16, 1945; 
Whereas the health of the atomic veterans and of many of 
the children of such veterans may have been adversely af-
fected by exposure to ionizing radiation;

•HRES 464 IH 
Whereas atomic veterans were not told of the hazards they 
faced from exposure to ionizing radiation, often were pro-
vided with little protection from such exposure, and were 
provided with no follow-up medical care or other moni-
toring to determine the health consequences of such expo-
sure; 
Whereas many atomic veterans were prevented by secrecy 
laws or oaths from seeking medical care or disability 
compensation from the United States Department of Vet-
erans Affairs (hereinafter referred to as ‘‘VA’’) for condi-
tions they may have developed as a result of radiation ex-
posure; 
Whereas in 1996, the United States Congress repealed the 
Nuclear Radiation and Secrecy Agreements Act, freeing 
atomic veterans to describe their military involvement in 
nuclear testing in order to file for VA benefits; 
Whereas atomic veterans may be eligible for free medical care 
from the VA and compensation in the form of a partial 
or full service-connected disability allowance, including 
potential payments to a surviving spouse or children; 
Whereas the National Association of Atomic Veterans was 
formed in 1979 to help atomic veterans obtain medical 
care and assistance; 
Whereas, on July 15, 1983, President Ronald Reagan did 
designate, in accordance with Public Law 98–54, July 
16, 1983, as ‘‘National Atomic Veterans’ Day’’; 
Whereas the Public Law 98–54 designated the single day of 
July 16, 1983, as ‘‘National Atomic Veterans’ Day’’ and 
not in each succeeding year; and
