IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
APRIL 1, 2019 
Ms. MOORE (for herself, Ms. HAALAND, Ms. DAVIDS of Kansas, Mr. YOUNG, 
Mr. GRIJALVA, and Mr. COLE) submitted the following resolution; which 
was referred to the Committee on Natural Resources 
RESOLUTION 
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives to 
recognize the crisis of violence against Native women. 
Whereas according to a study commissioned by the Depart-
ment of Justice, in some Tribal communities, American 
Indian women face murder rates that are more than 10 
times the national average; 
Whereas according to the Centers for Disease Control and 
Prevention, homicide was the third-leading cause of death 
among American Indian and Alaska Native women be-
tween 10 and 24 years of age and the fifth-leading cause 
of death for American Indian and Alaska Native women 
between 25 and 34 years of age; 
Whereas Native women face some of the highest levels of vio-
lence of any group, but there is little data that exists on

the number of missing American Indian and Alaska Na-
tive women in the United States; 
Whereas American Indians and Alaska Natives are 2.5 times 
more likely to experience violent crimes and at least 2 
times more likely to experience rape or sexual assault 
crimes than people who are not American Indians or 
Alaska Natives; 
Whereas 96 percent of female and 89 percent of male Amer-
ican Indian and Alaska Native victims report being vic-
timized by a non-Indian; 
Whereas according to a 2010 Government Accountability Of-
fice report, the Offices of the United States Attorneys de-
clined to prosecute nearly 52 percent of violent crimes 
that occur in Indian country; 
Whereas Indian Tribes report that children are usually in-
volved in domestic violence and dating violence incidents 
that occur on Indian lands, either as witnesses or as vic-
tims themselves; 
Whereas the Indian Law and Order Commission issued a re-
port entitled ‘‘A Roadmap for Making Native America 
Safer’’, which recommends the restoration of the inherent 
authority of Tribal courts; and 
Whereas Tribal communities should be able to protect them-
selves from dating violence, domestic violence, and child 
violence, and from violence committed against members 
of the Tribal justice system: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives ex-
presses the sense of the House to recognize the crisis of 
violence against Native women.

RESOLUTION 
Expressing the sense of the House that more should be 
done to instill Holocaust education in school curricula 
around the country. 
Whereas more than 70 years after the conclusion of World 
War II, it is even more important now to remember the 
events of the Holocaust and the genocidal pursuits of the 
Nazi regime; 
Whereas troubling numbers of people are ignorant of the 
events of the Holocaust and there are even those who 
deny that the Holocaust occurred; 
Whereas lies continue to be spread with the goal of perpet-
uating racist, xenophobic, and anti-Semitic principles;

which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary 
RESOLUTION 
Recognizing over 85 years of successful State-based alcohol 
regulation since the creation of an effective system of 
independent beer, wine, and spirits distribution. 
Whereas Federal and State regulation of the licensed alcohol 
beverage industry has effectively balanced competition 
with control, while maintaining an orderly, transparent, 
and accountable market, and has moderated the respon-
sible sale and consumption of alcohol, while promoting 
consumer choice and variety; 
Whereas regulated commerce of alcohol beverages annually 
contributes $136 billion in Federal and State tax reve-
nues as well as $682 billion to the United States econ-
omy, and further supports the employment of 4.7 million 
people in the United States in more than 25,000 per-

Whereas these insensitive beliefs are all too common, and 
only serve to dishonor those that were persecuted, tor-
tured, and killed at the hands of the Nazis; 
Whereas with each passing year we lose some of our greatest 
ambassadors and storytellers as Holocaust survivors age 
and pass away; 
Whereas in the words of Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel, not 
all victims were Jews, but all Jews were victims; 
Whereas many Members of Congress are proud to represent 
large populations of survivors in each of their districts; 
Whereas too many students are graduating with little expo-
sure to Holocaust education and its universal relevance; 
Whereas education about this tragedy is our best defense 
against intolerance and bigotry, and against history re-
peating itself; 
Whereas we are proud that 11 States require by law that 
schools teach students about the Holocaust and the les-
sons that can be learned from that tragic chapter of his-
tory; and 
Whereas Congress has consistently acted to preserve the 
memory of the Holocaust, including establishing a na-
tional Holocaust Remembrance Day in 1978: Now, there-
fore, be it 
Resolved, That— 
(1) the House of Representatives—

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

Mr. ESPAILLAT submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the 
Committee on the Judiciary 
RESOLUTION 
Condemning racism in sports. 
Whereas racism has historically influenced the infrastructure 
in major sporting industries since its inception, after the 
2016 election there seems to be a reemergence of racist 
rhetoric in global, national, and local discourse, and 
sports are not immune to this troubling trend; 
Whereas the roots of racism in sports date back to their gen-
esis, and perhaps no example of clearing racial hurdles 
compares to the story of Jackie Robinson who was the 
first African American to break the so-called color line to 
play in all-White Major League Baseball as a member of 
the Brooklyn Dodgers and whose sacrifice and persever-
ance in the face of such visceral hate in response to his 
participation is remembered as a historic triumph for Af-
rican Americans;
