Whereas symptoms are often mistaken for common illnesses 
but can affect the nervous system, the heart, and joints, 
leading to arthritic symptoms, paralysis, encephalitis, sei-
zures, and death if left untreated; 
Whereas a comprehensive approach utilizing increased edu-
cation and more research on Lyme and other tick-borne 
diseases and conditions and their vectors can lead to sig-
nificant advancements; 
Whereas individuals and families should seek out and be 
aware of best practices for the prevention of tick bites 
and Lyme and other tick-borne diseases and conditions; 
Whereas individuals living in or visiting wooded and other 
vulnerable areas should check themselves and their loved 
ones for ticks each day; 
Whereas spring marks the beginning of increased tick-bite ac-
tivity; and 
Whereas May would be an appropriate month to designate as 
‘‘National Lyme and Tick-Borne Disease and Conditions 
Awareness Month’’: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives supports 
the designation of ‘‘National Lyme and Tick-Borne Dis-
ease and Conditions Awareness Month’’ to increase public 
knowledge of Lyme and other tick-borne diseases and con-
ditions, raise awareness about the prevention of tick bites, 
and advance the vision of finding cures through critical

Whereas Batten disease is a family of rare genetic disorders

Whereas there are many forms of Batten disease, and the

cause the disease; 
Whereas symptoms of the fatal disease include vision loss 
leading to blindness, personality and behavioral changes, 
seizures, intellectual decline, disruption and loss of 
speech, dementia, and other debilitating ailments;

Whereas Batten disease occurs in an estimated 2 to 4 of 
every 100,000 births in the United States; 
Whereas due to the many different forms of the disease, 
there is significant variability in the age of onset and 
symptom progression for each case; 
Whereas on average, the process to reach the correct diag-
nosis for a patient with a rare disease could take up to 
7.6 years, visits with numerous physicians, and multiple 
misdiagnoses; 
Whereas there is no known cure for Batten disease, and the 
lack of essential funding has hindered scientists’ ability 
to find a potential treatment or cure; and 
Whereas the Federal Government has not done enough to 
provide funding for rare diseases, and 95 percent of the 
7,000 rare diseases still have no FDA-approved treat-
ment: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives—
