                               RESOLUTION


 
Expressing the sense of Congress that Fort San Juan holds a significant 
 place in the early history of North Carolina and of the United States.

Whereas Fort San Juan was originally settled by the Spanish in western North 
        Carolina in 1567;
Whereas Fort San Juan predates the English settlement on Roanoke Island by 20 
        years and the settlement at Jamestown by 40 years;
Whereas Fort San Juan was the first European settlement in the interior of the 
        United States;
Whereas Captain Juan Pardo built Fort San Juan as part of the greater mission of 
        the Spanish exploring North America from Santa Elena (modern-day Parris 
        Island, South Carolina) into what are now Tennessee and Alabama under 
        Hernando de Soto;
Whereas Fort San Juan served as the base for Captain Juan Pardo's expedition 
        into the Appalachian Mountains in search for silver mines;
Whereas Fort San Juan after 18 months was destroyed in a fire after the 
        relationship between the Spanish settlers and Native Americans at Joara 
        deteriorated;
Whereas Fort San Juan was rediscovered near Morganton, North Carolina, between 
        the years of 2004 and 2006; and
Whereas archaeologists investigating the site have expressed their appreciation 
        for the cooperation of the landowners, the Berry family, for preserving 
        the site and providing access: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) recognizes the importance of Fort San Juan for the 
        early history of North Carolina;
            (2) recognizes that Fort San Juan reshapes the historical 
        narrative around the United States earliest history; and
            (3) encourages the people of the United States to continue 
        studying Captain Juan Pardo's expedition, visiting the ruins of 
        Fort San Juan, and educating the people of North Carolina and 
        the United States about Fort San Juan's role in North Carolina 
        and the United States earliest history.

    Day of Reason'' and recognizing the importance of reason in the 
                        betterment of humanity.

        upon Earth, improving conditions within the universe, and cultivating 
        intelligent, moral, and ethical interactions among people and their 
        environments;
Whereas those who wrote the Constitution of the United States, the basic

        distinguishing the historical Age of Reason;
Whereas most citizens of the United States purport to value reason and its 
        application;
Whereas it is the duty and responsibility of every citizen to promote the 
        development and application of reason; and
Whereas May 4, 2017, would be an appropriate date to designate as a ``National 
        Day of Reason'': Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--

  Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives regarding the 
     importance of effective education in civics and government in 
        elementary and secondary schools throughout the Nation.

Whereas research shows that too few people in the United States understand the 
        basic principles and functions of our constitutional government as set 
        forth in the founding documents of our Nation, the Declaration of 
        Independence and the Constitution; and
Whereas since the founding of public education, elementary and secondary school 
        education programs have had the mission of preparing students who are 
        committed to the values and principles of the United States to 
        participate in our constitutional government: Now, therefore, be it

  Expressing support for designation of February 4, 2018, as National 
                         Cancer Prevention Day.

Whereas National Cancer Prevention Day is a day to remind us that when looking 
        at cancer we need to look at prevention and reducing risks for human 
        health and the environment;
Whereas when we work to prevent cancer risks, it impacts human health, the 
        environment, and the economy;
Whereas cancer is one of the leading causes of death around the world and has 
        touched the lives of nearly everyone, either directly or indirectly;
Whereas the disease is the cause of nearly 1 out of every 4 deaths in the United 
        States;
Whereas in 2018, there will be an estimated 1,735,350 new cancer cases diagnosed 
        and 609,640 cancer deaths in the United States;
Whereas cancer is the second most common cause of death among children ages 1 to 
        14 years in the United States after accidents, and in 2018 an estimated 
        10,590 children in this age group will be diagnosed with cancer and 
        1,180 will die from it; and
Whereas February 4, 2018, would be an appropriate date to designate as Cancer 
        Prevention Day: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) supports the designation of National Cancer Prevention 
        Day;
            (2) recognizes all efforts to raise the awareness for the 
        reduction of cancer risks; and
            (3) recognizes the devastating effect cancer has on 
        families and wishes to expand knowledge, encourage early 
        detection, and work with friends in the medical and scientific 
        fields to put an end to this deadly disease.

Whereas ``National Rosie the Riveter Day'' is a collective national effort to 
        raise awareness of the 16,000,000 women working during World War II;
Whereas Americans have chosen to honor female workers who contributed on the 
        home front during World War II;
Whereas these women left their homes to work or volunteer full-time in 
        factories, farms, shipyards, airplane factories, banks, and other

Whereas these women worked with the USO and Red Cross, drove trucks, riveted 
        airplane parts, collected critical materials, rolled bandages, and 
        served on rationing boards;

        legacy of working women, including volunteer women, during World War II 
        to promote cooperation and fellowship among such women and their 
        descendants;
Whereas these women and their descendants wish to further the advancement of 
        patriotic ideas, excellence in the workplace, and loyalty to the United 
        States of America; and
Whereas March 21, 2018, during Women's History Month, would be an appropriate

 Recognizing the National Association of Letter Carriers' one-day food

Whereas the National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC) began their one-day 
        food drive in 1992;
Whereas for many years prior to 1992, a number of NALC branches collected food 
        for the needy in the communities they served;
Whereas in 1992, 10 cities were selected to explore a coordinated effort, and a 
        pilot food drive was held in Columbus, Ohio, by Branch 78 of the NALC;
Whereas the pilot food drive was so successful that the food drive was then 
        expanded nationwide;
Whereas a nationwide one-day food drive was organized for May 15, 1993, with the 
        goal of having at least one NALC Branch participate in each of the 50 
        States;
Whereas more than 220 NALC branches participated in the first national one-day 
        food drive and set a one-day record for food collection in the United 
        States by collecting more than 11,000,000 pounds of food;
Whereas in 2017 the NALC collected over 75,000,000 pounds of food to help 
        restock food banks, pantries, and shelters throughout the United States;
Whereas 2017 marked the 14th consecutive year that the Nation's largest one-day 
        food drive collected more than 70,000,000 pounds of food;
Whereas the NALC one-day food drive has collected more than 1,600,000,000 pounds 
        of food since it began in 1993; and
Whereas the NALC one-day food drive occurs on the second Saturday in May each 
        year: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) recognizes the National Association of Letter Carriers'
