Ms. SPANBERGER (for herself and Ms. JACKSON LEE) submitted the following 
resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Veterans’ Affairs 
RESOLUTION 
Expressing support for the designation of July 16 as 
‘‘National Atomic Veterans Day’’. 
Whereas more than 200,000 veterans of the United States, 
in service during the period between 1945 and 1963, par-
ticipated in nuclear tests, served with the United States 
military occupation forces in or around Hiroshima and 
Nagasaki before 1946, or were held as prisoners of war 
in or near Hiroshima or Nagasaki; 
Whereas July 16 is the anniversary of ‘‘Trinity’’, the world’s 
first detonation of a nuclear device in Alamogordo, New 
Mexico on July 16, 1945; 
Whereas the health of the atomic veterans and of many of 
the children of such veterans may have been adversely af-
fected by exposure to ionizing radiation;

Whereas atomic veterans were not told of the hazards they 
faced from exposure to ionizing radiation, often were pro-
vided with little protection from such exposure, and were 
provided with no follow-up medical care or other moni-
toring to determine the health consequences of such expo-
sure; 
Whereas many atomic veterans were prevented by secrecy 
laws or oaths from seeking medical care or disability 
compensation from the United States Department of Vet-
erans Affairs (hereinafter referred to as ‘‘VA’’) for condi-
tions they may have developed as a result of radiation ex-
posure; 
Whereas in 1996, the United States Congress repealed the 
Nuclear Radiation and Secrecy Agreements Act, freeing 
atomic veterans to describe their military involvement in 
nuclear testing in order to file for VA benefits; 
Whereas atomic veterans may be eligible for free medical care 
from the VA and compensation in the form of a partial 
or full service-connected disability allowance, including 
potential payments to a surviving spouse or children; 
Whereas the National Association of Atomic Veterans was 
formed in 1979 to help atomic veterans obtain medical 
care and assistance; 
Whereas, on July 15, 1983, President Ronald Reagan did 
designate, in accordance with Public Law 98–54, July 
16, 1983, as ‘‘National Atomic Veterans’ Day’’; 
Whereas the Public Law 98–54 designated the single day of 
July 16, 1983, as ‘‘National Atomic Veterans’ Day’’ and 
not in each succeeding year; and

Whereas the Sikh community, which originated in Punjab, in 
South Asia, and began immigrating into the United

Whereas a holistic understanding of peace, supported by 
ideas of equality and fraternity, is part of the Sikh tradi-
tion; 
Whereas the very origin of Sikhism is linked to overcoming 
communal hatred and divisions; 
Whereas the year 2019 carries significance for Sikhs across

(3) share it with the less fortunate; 
Whereas Guru Nanak was an original spiritual thinker and 
expressed his thoughts in extraordinary poetry that forms 
the basis of Sikh scripture, Guru Granth Sahib; 
Whereas Guru Nanak’s social teachings denounced the caste 
system and taught that everyone is equal, regardless of 
caste, creed, or gender;
