Whereas pulmonary fibrosis takes the lives of 40,000 individ-

death every 13 minutes; 
Whereas many patients with pulmonary fibrosis are 
misdiagnosed for 1 year or longer after the patients are 
presenting with pulmonary fibrosis symptoms; 
Whereas, as of September 2016, there are no biomarkers for 
screening and testing for pulmonary fibrosis; 
Whereas a cure or drug that is effective for all pulmonary fi-

individuals with pulmonary fibrosis and the families of 
those individuals; and 
Whereas developing more effective treatments for pulmonary 
fibrosis and providing access to quality care to individuals

Whereas leading a movement for economic independence 
among Black Americans, Marcus Garvey became the tar-
get of surveillance and harassment by United States Gov-
ernment law enforcement agencies; 
Whereas Marcus Garvey was prosecuted and convicted of 
mail fraud, imprisoned, and later, deported to Jamaica;

unjust; 
Whereas millions of petitioners have appealed for his exonera-

Whereas Marcus Garvey is recognized as a national hero in

Whereas since the mid-1960s, the member states of the
