cution by both state and nonstate actors; 
Whereas the Department of Homeland Security has detained 
several hundred Chaldeans living in the United States for 
possible deportation to Iraq; 
Whereas any Chaldean deported to Iraq will be subject to dis-
crimination, violent persecution, and possibly death; and

•HRES 836 IH 
Whereas business travelers are significantly affected by travel 
problems such as changing weather, equipment malfunc-
tion, and routine delays and cancellations; 
Whereas business travelers are often more sensitive to effi-
ciency, timetables, and consistency of service than leisure 
travelers; 
Whereas an estimated 70 percent of business travelers work 
for companies that have no policies on supplier usage, re-
sulting in such business travelers making their own travel 
purchases for air, hotel, and ground transportation, and 
often needing to fend for themselves when problems occur 
during travel; and 
Whereas this segment of business travel is experiencing an 
annual growth rate of 6 percent: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) supports the designation of ‘‘National Busi-
ness Traveler Day’’; and 
(2) encourages the people of the United States 
to observe ‘‘National Business Traveler Day’’ with 
appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities.
