Mrs. BICE (for herself, Mr. ROGERS of Alabama, Mr. MOORE of Alabama, Mr.

CONCURRENT RESOLUTION 
Expressing the sense of Congress that any public rendition 
of ‘‘The Star-Spangled Banner’’ must be performed as 
written by Francis Scott Key, in English. 
Whereas ‘‘The Star-Spangled Banner’’, written by Francis 
Scott Key in 1814, was designated as the national an-
them of the United States by Congress in 1931; 
Whereas the lyrics of ‘‘The Star-Spangled Banner’’, as origi-
nally composed in English, reflect the historical and cul-
tural significance of the United States resilience and 
unity during a time of national challenge; 
Whereas the English-language text of the anthem, as written 
by Francis Scott Key, serves as a unifying symbol of 
American heritage and patriotism;

Whereas preserving the original English lyrics in public per-

Whereas maintaining the integrity of the anthem’s original

Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate 
concurring), That— 
(1) any public rendition of ‘‘The Star-Spangled 
Banner’’ should be performed as written by Francis 
Scott Key, in the English language, to preserve its 
historical and cultural integrity; 
(2) public performances of the national anthem 
should reflect the original lyrics to maintain its uni-

(3) performers and organizers of public events 
are encouraged to honor the tradition of presenting 
‘‘The Star-Spangled Banner’’ in its original English

is committed to ensuring a safe and healthy climate 
for future generations, and thus to restoring the climate. 
Whereas humanity has an obligation to future generations to 
restore and maintain a safe climate that ensures our 
long-term survival; 
Whereas, prior to the industrial revolution, humans have 
never lived with a sustained atmospheric carbon dioxide 
(CO2) concentration above 300 parts per million (ppm);

mately 420 ppm, 50 percent higher than in preindustrial

culture, the environment, human health, and economies 
around the world; 
Whereas the United Nations Framework Convention on Cli-
mate Change set its climate goal to stabilize greenhouse 
gas (GHG) levels in 1992, when the atmospheric CO2 
concentration was 350 ppm, which is the maximum level 
theorized to sustain the ecosystems to which humans 
have adapted; 
Whereas, in this resolution, ‘‘climate restoration’’ refers to— 
(1) the goal of restoring the atmospheric CO2 con-
centration to that which humans have survived long-term, 
(below 300 ppm); and 
(2) actions required to achieve that concentration; 
Whereas climate restoration is a crucial complement to rapid 
and deep emissions reductions; 
Whereas climate restoration by 2050, will require removing 
approximately 1,000,000,000,000 tons of CO2 from the 
atmosphere, or net 50,000,000,000 tons per year for 20 
years; 
Whereas, approximately 1,000,000,000,000 tons of CO2 were 
removed from the atmosphere by natural processes 10 
times in the last 1,000,000 years, and naturally occur-
ring mechanisms are capable of removing geologically sig-
nificant amounts of atmospheric CO2, including carbon 
sequestration by the ocean carbon biological pump; 
Whereas scientists and technologists have developed and dem-
onstrated CO2 sequestration methods that replicate and 
leverage these natural processes in ways that significantly 
reduce atmospheric CO2 concentrations;

Whereas Congress should encourage investigation and invest-

verage existing natural processes, as well as other tech-
nologies; 
Whereas, in addition to CO2 removal, restoring the Earth’s 
energy balance relies on reducing feedback loops that 
negatively affect surface albedo, global ocean and atmos-
pheric circulation patterns, and cloud cover; 
Whereas removing methane and other short-lived climate pol-
lutants from the atmosphere between now and 2030 is 
essential as a bridge to achieving longer term climate res-
toration; 
Whereas climate restoration will benefit the people of the 
United States by reducing loss and damage from heat 
waves, floods, storms, droughts, wildfires, and other dis-
asters exacerbated by climate change, while producing 
positive effects on human and ecosystem health, along 
with benefiting the economy as a whole;
