Whereas in nursing homes and rehabilitation centers, ap-
proximately 11 percent of patients have documented pres-
sure injuries; 
Whereas for acute care settings, 8.8 percent of patients have 
a pressure injury; 
Whereas more than one third of veterans with a spinal cord 
injury report pressure injuries each year, and those vet-
erans face more than $77,000 in inpatient costs com-
pared to those without; and 
Whereas patients with hospital-acquired pressure injuries in-
crease their length of stay from 4.9 to 11.6 days, adding 
more than six days of hospitalization, and as a result, 
these patients are more likely to be readmitted to a hos-
pital: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives supports 
the designation of ‘‘World Wide Pressure Injury Preven-
tion Day’’.

Whereas the utility industry is raising awareness of scammer 
tactics and working with local, State, and Federal law en-
forcement agencies to identify, and prosecute, the crimi-
nals perpetrating the scam; 
Whereas the utility industry, in working with the tele-
communications industry, has helped disconnect over two 
hundred and fifty toll-free numbers formerly used by 
scammers; 
Whereas a national day to create awareness of scammers im-
personating utility industry companies will help educate,

Day’’: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) supports the designation of ‘‘Utility Scam 
Awareness Day’’; 
(2) encourages the people of the United States 
to observe ‘‘Utility Scam Awareness Day’’; and 
(3) encourages utilities to use this day to raise 
awareness and knowledge amongst themselves and 
the general public regarding the threat posed by 
scams against utility customers, and the techniques 
and tools used to identify and avoid them.

violently wrestling a man covered by a CNN logo, which, 
according to the Reporters Committee on Freedom of the 
Press, was a ‘‘threat of physical violence against journal-
ists . . . [and] beneath the office of the presidency’’. 
On May 10, 2017, Donald J. Trump’s White House 
barred American reporters from witnessing his meeting 
with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and Russian 
Ambassador to the United States Sergey Kislyak in the 
Oval Office, but allowed a Russian photographer to docu-
ment the meeting. 
In January 2017, Donald J. Trump’s transition team 
considered a plan to relocate the press corps from the 
White House press room to the White House Conference 
Center near Lafayette Square or to space in the Old Exec-
utive Office Building. 
In June 2017, Donald J. Trump’s administration 
prohibited video recordings of White House press brief-
ings. 
On October 11, 2017, Donald J. Trump tweeted, 
‘‘Fake @NBC News made up story that I wanted a ‘ten-
fold’ increase in our U.S. nuclear arsenal. Pure fiction, 
made up to demean. NBC=CNN!’’ and ‘‘With all of the 
Fake News coming out of NBC and the Networks at what 
point is it appropriate to challenge their License? Bad for 
country!’’.

On October 11, 2017, Donald J. Trump also tweeted, 
‘‘Network news has become so partisan, distorted and fake 
that licenses must be challenged and, if appropriate, re-
voked. Not fair to public!’’. 
On October 11, 2017, Donald J. Trump told report-
ers in the Oval Office, ‘‘It is frankly disgusting the way 
the press is able to write whatever they want to write, and 
people should look into it.’’. 
In all of this, Donald J. Trump has sought to under-
mine the freedom of the press guaranteed by the First 
Amendment to the Constitution, brought disrepute on the 
Presidency, and has acted in a manner subversive of con-
stitutional government, to the great prejudice of the cause 
of law and justice and to the manifest injury of the people 
of the United States. 
Wherefore Donald J. Trump, by such conduct, war-
rants impeachment and trial, and removal from office.
