Whereas, on July 8, 2014, the United States and other mem-
ber countries of the World Trade Organization, account-
ing for nearly 90 percent of global exports in environ-
mental goods, began negotiations on the Environmental 
Goods Agreement; 
Whereas the Environmental Goods Agreement would elimi-
nate tariffs on a broad range of environmental goods in-
cluding wind turbines, water treatment filters, solar 
water heaters, and bicycles; 
Whereas the United States is a leader in the development of 
environmental goods, but such goods can face tariffs as 
high as 50 percent when exported to other countries; 
Whereas the negotiations represent a significant opportunity 
to help countries across the world access high-quality af-
fordable environmental goods while also leveling the play-
ing field for American manufacturers and supporting 
green jobs; and 
Whereas reengaging on the Environmental Goods Agreement 
must be part of a larger set of efforts aimed at com-
bating the climate emergency, achieving a clean energy 
economy, and reaching net-zero emissions by the year 
2050: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Rep-
resentatives that not later than 90 days after the date of 
the adoption of this resolution, the United States Trade 
Representative should resume negotiations to conclude the

Mr. LUETKEMEYER (for himself and Mr. MCGOVERN) submitted the following 
resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs 
RESOLUTION 
Honoring the life and legacy of Carl Lutz. 
Whereas Carl Lutz was born on March 30, 1895, in 
Walzenhausen, Switzerland, but moved to the United 
States as a young man; 
Whereas Carl Lutz became a diplomat, eventually serving at 
the Swiss consulate in what was then Mandatory Pal-
estine; 
Whereas, in 1942, Carl Lutz was transferred to Budapest, 
Hungary, where he— 
(1) served as the Swiss vice consul until the end of 
World War II; and 
(2) represented countries that had severed diplo-
matic relations with Hungary because of its German alli-
ance;

•HRES 297 IH 
Whereas Carl Lutz, upon arrival in Budapest, began to work 
to help Jews receive Swiss diplomatic protection so they 
could flee Nazi persecution; 
Whereas, in 1944, Carl Lutz received permission to issue pro-
tective papers to save 8,000 Jews from deportation, 
which Lutz determined to mean 8,000 families, not 8,000 
individuals; 
Whereas Carl Lutz extended Swiss protection to 76 buildings 
that operated as safe houses for Jewish refugees seeking 
protection, including a department store called the Glass 
House, which served as a refuge for up to 3,000 Jews 
and as a headquarters for the Zionist underground; 
Whereas, in November 1944, Carl Lutz and his wife, Trudi 
Lutz, joined a death march to various concentration 
camps, pulling Jews out of the line to issue as many pro-
tective papers as possible; 
Whereas, at the end of World War II, Carl Lutz and his co-
conspirators, including his wife, his staff, and the Zionist 
underground members, saved over 50,000 Jews, which 
was half of the surviving Jewish population of Budapest; 
and 
Whereas the United States is deeply indebted to Carl Lutz, 
who was responsible for the largest civilian rescue mis-
sion of Jews during World War II: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) honors the life and legacy of Carl Lutz; 
(2) recognizes that the heroic effort of Carl 
Lutz went above and beyond the call of duty to save 
the Hungarian Jews ‘‘condemned to die’’ because he 
believed it to be a ‘‘matter of conscience’’; and

to a ‘‘like-new’’ or ‘‘better-than-new’’ condition, from 
both a quality and performance perspective, through a 
controlled, reproducible, and sustainable process; 
Whereas a 2012 United States International Trade Commis-
sion report found that remanufacturers support at least 
180,000 full-time jobs in the United States, and further 
states that production of remanufactured goods in the 
United States increased by 15 percent from 2009 to

Whereas by encouraging businesses, State agencies, nonprofit 
organizations, schools, and individuals to celebrate Re-

Whereas to focus the Nation’s attention on the benefits of re-
