RESOLUTION 
Expressing support for designation of June 2015 as 
‘‘National Men’s Cancer Awareness Month’’. 
Whereas 1 in 2 men will be diagnosed with cancer over the 
course of their lifetimes; 
Whereas according to the Centers for Disease Control and 
Prevention (CDC), cancer claims the lives of nearly 
300,000 men annually in the United States; 
Whereas the CDC also reports that the incidence of cancer 
for men varies by race and ethnicity, with minority men 
having the highest cancer incidence and mortality rates;

Whereas statistics show that a higher percentage of men will 
die from cancer than women because they are typically 
diagnosed at a later stage; 
Whereas despite advances in medical technology and re-
search, men continue to live an average of 5 fewer years 
compared to their female counterparts; 
Whereas ‘‘National Men’s Health Week’’, which is annually 
celebrated as the week leading up to, and including Fa-
ther’s Day, was established in 1994 by the United States 
Congress, to show how simple diagnostic and screening 
tests can save lives; 
Whereas promoting awareness and education about men’s 
cancer is crucial to improving the health and well-being 
of men across the Nation, facilitating early detection, im-
proving the prognoses of men who have been diagnosed 
with the disease, and ultimately preventing further loss of 
life; and 
Whereas June 2015 would be an appropriate month to des-
ignate as ‘‘National Men’s Cancer Awareness Month’’: 
Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) supports the designation of ‘‘Men’s Cancer 
Awareness Month’’; 
(2) encourages the Federal Government, States, 
localities, and nonprofit organizations to observance 
the month with appropriate awareness programs and 
educational activities, with the goal of increasing 
public knowledge of cancers disproportionately af-
fecting men;

To amend the Agricultural Adjustment Act to require the

The Agricultural Adjustment Act (7 U.S.C. 601 et

at the end the following:
‘‘SEC. 23. DAIRY FORWARD PRICING PILOT PROGRAM.
‘‘(a) IN GENERAL.—Not later than 90 days after the
date of enactment of this section, the Secretary of Agri-

producers and cooperatives are authorized to voluntarily
enter into forward price contracts with milk handlers.
‘‘(b) MINIMUM MILK PRICE REQUIREMENTS.—Pay-

Whereas the term ‘‘lawfare’’ means the abuse of law to 
achieve political and military means and has as its goals 
the delegitimization of the sovereignty of democratic 
states and the obstruction of democracies to fight against 
and defeat terrorism; 
Whereas the House of Representatives believes that the cur-
rent policy of the Palestinian Authority to consider and 
potentially seek legal action against Israel through the 
International Criminal Court is a politically motivated ac-
tion designed to put political pressure on Israel outside 
the context of direct negotiations, weaken Israel’s sov-
ereignty, and hinder Israel’s ability to fight against and 
defeat terrorism, the House of Representatives believes 
the Palestinian Authority policy constitutes an act of 
lawfare; 
Whereas the use of lawfare is a national security danger to 
all democracies, including the United States and its 
democratic allies, who engage their militaries to defend 
their sovereignty and fight against and defeat terrorism,
