Whereas ostomy or continent diversion surgery can occur at 
any age and does not lower life expectancy;

H. Res. 1181 
In the House of Representatives, U. S., 
December 10, 2020. 
Whereas Rosalynn Smith Carter, since 1970, when her hus-
band, future President of the United States Jimmy Car-
ter, was a candidate for Governor of Georgia, has been 
a leading advocate for raising awareness about mental 
health and the ability of people with mental health dis-
orders to recover and live happy and fulfilling lives; 
Whereas Mrs. Carter emerged as a national driving force for 
mental health when, during Jimmy Carter’s presidential 
administration, Mrs. Carter became the active honorary 
chair of the President’s Commission on Mental Health; 
Whereas the work of President Carter’s Commission on Men-
tal Health resulted in passage of the Mental Health Sys-
tems Act of 1980, which offered reforms to publicly fund-
ed mental health programs; 
Whereas, in 1982, President and Mrs. Carter founded The 
Carter Center, which is dedicated to improving the qual-
ity of life for people in the United States and in the de-
veloping world through programs that promote peace and 
health; 
Whereas, from 1985 to 2016, Mrs. Carter hosted the annual 
Rosalynn Carter Symposium on Mental Health Policy,

program while working as a radio and television commen-
tator for professional and college basketball; 
Whereas Thompson was an advocate for education and social 
justice, whose off-the-court contribution to such causes 
are admired and deeply appreciated by many who call the 
District of Columbia home; 
Whereas Thompson’s gesture of walking off of the court be-
fore the start of Georgetown’s victorious game on Janu-
ary 14, 1989, in protest of Proposition 42, an NCAA rule 
that he found to unfairly disadvantage Black youth, was 
but one notable instance in a lifetime of speaking out on 
the importance of equity and fairness in education; 
Whereas Thompson established the John Thompson Chari-
table Foundation in 2000 to help improve the quality of 
life for underserved children and families within the Dis-
trict of Columbia and other communities; 
Whereas Thompson passed away on August 30, 2020, at the 
age of 78; 
Whereas Thompson is survived by his three children, John 
Thompson III, Ronny Thompson, and Tiffany Thompson, 
and several grandchildren; and 
Whereas Georgetown University, the District of Columbia, 
and many people in the United States and the world re-
vered Thompson as an icon of the game of basketball and 
as a mentor to young people: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) recognizes and honors the life and achieve-
ment of John Robert Thompson Jr., and his service

promoting access to appropriate and affordable behav-
ioral health care services, improving the quality of such 
services, and reducing the stigma and isolation associated 
with mental health disorders and substance use disorders; 
Whereas The Carter Center’s Mental Health Program, estab-
lished in 1991 and continuing under the leadership and 
guidance of Mrs. Carter, strives to build consensus in 
order to effect positive change in mental health and sub-
stance use policy and systems, with a focus on vulnerable 
populations, including children and the elderly; 
Whereas, in 1996, Mrs. Carter established the Rosalynn Car-
ter Fellowships for Mental Health Journalism, which 
have provided training and support to more than 220 
journalists in the United States and abroad to report ac-
curately and sensitively about and reduce the stigma sur-
rounding mental health disorders, mental health care, 
mental health law and policy, and related issues; 
Whereas Mrs. Carter, in 2008, played a key role in sup-
porting the passage of the Paul Wellstone and Pete 
Domenici Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity 
Act, which helps ensure that mental health disorders and 
substance use disorders are covered by insurance at par-
ity with other illnesses; 
Whereas Mrs. Carter, who has long been a champion of the 
physical and mental health, strength, and resilience of 
family caregivers, established the Rosalynn Carter Insti-
tute for Caregiving in 1987, where she continues to serve 
as Chair of the Advisory Board; 
Whereas, throughout Mrs. Carter’s 50 years of advocacy for 
mental health, she has been an effective champion for the

vestment to promote economic development and poverty 
alleviation across the continent while strengthening 
United States-Africa economic ties; 
Whereas AGOA’s apparel imports from sub-Saharan Africa 
have 
risen 
from 
$355,000,000 
in 
2000, 
to 
$1,400,000,000 in 2019, generating an estimated 
1,300,000 new garment jobs in Africa, yet still rep-
resenting less than 2 percent of global United States ap-
parel imports of $83,800,000,000 in 2019; 
Whereas key apparel producers currently receiving GSP bene-
fits already export more apparel to the United States in-
dividually than all apparel exporters in the 38 AGOA-eli-
gible countries combined, including— 
(1) $4,400,000,000 from Indonesia; 
(2) $2,700,000,000 from Cambodia; and 
(3) $1,500,000,000 from Pakistan; 
Whereas members of the African Diplomatic Corps, on Sep-
tember 9, 2020, requested that the House of Representa-
tives Subcommittee on Trade seriously consider the ‘‘dev-
astating impact to Africa’’ if the GSP program were ex-
panded to include duty-free treatment for apparel; and 
Whereas similar concerns about the inclusion of garments 
and textiles in GSP were registered by the Government 
of Ghana, the African Cotton and Textile Industry Fed-
eration, and members of the United States bipartisan 
AGOA coalition: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) reiterates its support for preserving West-
ern Hemisphere supply chains, recognizing that 
these supply chains have provided economic benefits

(AGOA) and to jobs that depend on AGOA trade in

Whereas a large gap exists between health care provider rec-

Whereas health coaches are a new type of health care worker
