Whereas such study showed that corporations need a critical 
mass of at least 3 women serving on boards of directors 
with average membership of 11 individuals to access the 
benefits of diversity for overall organizational perform-
ance and prevent the negative impacts of tokenism on 
leadership teams; 
Whereas a Harvard Business study entitled ‘‘An Institutional 
Approach to Gender Diversity and Firm Performance’’ 
published in 2019 found that increased gender diversity 
results in more productive companies in terms of market 
value and revenue; 
Whereas Credit Suisse’s global research study entitled ‘‘CS 
Gender 3000’’ published in October 2019 reviewed 3,000 
corporations worldwide to find that women serving on 
corporate boards improved corporation performance with 
respect to key metrics, including stock performance, and 
that companies with a higher proportion of women senior 
managers demonstrated returns on investment that were 
both higher and more stable overall; 
Whereas such study found that corporations with women 
serving as directors tend to be somewhat risk-averse and 
carry less debt, on average, compared to corporations 
with no women directors, and that net income growth for 
such corporations was also higher; and 
Whereas a Stanford University study entitled ‘‘Do Investors 
Value Gender Diversity in Firms?’’ released in 2019 
found that investors react positively to substantive in-
creases in gender diversity with a significant increase in 
stock prices following corporate announcements regarding 
increased diversity, demonstrating the economic con-
sequences of increased diversity: Now, therefore, be it

RESOLUTION 
Expressing the mental health impacts of recurrent climate-

Whereas there is a significant, negative impact that rapid 
and ongoing climate change has on America’s youth; 
Whereas youth are especially vulnerable to the physical and 
mental health impacts of climate-related disasters and 
the cumulative toll youth will endure from additional ex-
posure to increasing climate-related disasters; 
Whereas youth represent a particularly vulnerable group be-
cause greenhouse gases emitted into the atmosphere will 
impact today’s and tomorrow’s youth throughout their bi-

lated disasters continue to increase, more youth will be 
directly affected by increasing rates of stress and trauma 
through interruption in schooling, disruptions in routine, 
separation from caregivers due to evacuations or displace-
ment, and parental stress after a disaster; 
Whereas recent studies cited in the American Psychological 
Association and ecoAmerica report have documented that 
high levels of stress during childhood, such as those asso-
ciated with the experience of a climate-related disaster or 
displacement, can affect the development of neural path-
ways in ways that impair memory, executive function, 
and decision making in later life; 
Whereas a 2016 Social Science & Medicine study found that 
experiencing an extreme weather event before age 5 re-
sulted in higher levels of anxiety and depression among 
adults; 
Whereas studies document that many young people are grap-
pling with the impact of climate change; 
Whereas recent studies confirm those from low-income com-
munities, indigenous communities, and communities of 
color are often the most vulnerable to the worst impacts 
of climate change, such as flooding, drought, fire, and ex-
treme heat; 
Whereas a study by the American Public Health Association 
and ecoAmerica, Making the Connection: Climate 
Changes Mental Health, shows that up to 45 percent of 
youth have developed depression after a climate-related 
disaster, affecting both their caregivers and the youth 
themselves;

Whereas, in the 4th century B.C.E., Esther became the new 
queen of the empire, despite being Jewish, and her cous-

Whereas it states in Megillas Esther (the Book of Esther) 
that Purim means ‘‘lots’’ in ancient Persian, and the hol-

Whereas the Jewish people celebrate Purim by reading of the 
Megillah, giving gifts to at least two poor people, sending 
gifts of two kinds of food to at least one person, and by 
taking part in a Purim feast; 
Whereas the traditional food of Purim is hamantaschen, a

Whereas the meanings of Purim are to celebrate the Jewish 
people reaccepting the Torah with love, specifically Torah

Mr. COURTNEY (for himself and Mr. WITTMAN) submitted the following 
resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Armed Services 
RESOLUTION 
Celebrating the centennial of United States Navy aircraft 
carriers. 
Whereas, 100 years ago, on March 20, 1922, following a 2- 
year conversion at Norfolk Naval Yard, the former USS 
Jupiter (AC–3) was recommissioned as the United States 
Navy’s first aircraft carrier, USS Langley (CV–1); 
Whereas the Langley began as an experimental platform, lay-
ing the foundation for the future shipboard operations of 
aircraft; 
Whereas, in fleet exercises beginning in 1924, the ship, ap-
propriately nicknamed the ‘‘Covered Wagon’’, played a 
pioneering role in demonstrating the potential of the air-
craft carrier as an invaluable weapons system that would 
transform how the United States Navy fought at sea;

the Navy’s preeminent power projection platform and 
have furthered the Nation’s interest in times of war and 
peace; 
Whereas, from the great naval battles in the Pacific during 
World War II, to strike and close air support missions 
in the battlegrounds of Korea and Vietnam, to the execu-
tion of Joint Force operations over the sands of the Mid-
dle East, and to present-day deterrence in numerous lo-
cations around the world, aircraft carriers have proven 
time and again that they provide an invaluable capability 
in support of the strategic goals of the United States; 
Whereas with an unequaled ability to provide warfighting ca-
pabilities across the full spectrum of conflict and to adapt 
in the face of ever-changing threats, aircraft carriers, 
their embarked air wings, and associated strike groups 
are the foundation of United States maritime strategy; 
Whereas aircraft carriers enable the United States Armed 
Forces to carry out operations from international waters, 
often obviating the need to obtain fly-over and land-based 
rights from other nations; 
Whereas Nimitz and Ford class aircraft carriers are modern, 
mobile United States military bases complete with air-
field, hospital, and hardened communications systems 
from which the United States can strike at its enemies, 
from wherever and whenever it chooses; 
Whereas there are more than 2,450 companies in 48 States 
and over 364 congressional districts, and more than
