    Mr. Faso (for himself and Mr. Courtney) submitted the following

                               RESOLUTION


 
Supporting the designation of May as ``National Lyme Disease Awareness 
                                Month''.

Whereas there are an estimated 300,000 new cases of Lyme disease annually, 
        putting undue burden and suffering on countless individuals and 
        families;
Whereas Lyme disease is a rapidly growing epidemic that is found in half of all 
        United States counties and about 80 countries;
Whereas Lyme disease has no known cure and is difficult to diagnose;
Whereas Lyme disease poses a significant threat to our communities, especially 
        when coupled with other tick-borne illnesses;
Whereas symptoms are often mistaken for common illnesses but can affect the 
        nervous system, the heart, and joints, leading to arthritic symptoms, 
        paralysis, encephalitis, seizures, and death if left untreated;
Whereas a comprehensive approach utilizing increased education and more research 
        on Lyme disease and its vectors can lead to significant advancements;
Whereas individuals and families should seek out and be aware of best practices 
        for the prevention of tick bites and Lyme disease;
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 activity; and
Whereas May would be an appropriate month to designate as ``National Lyme 
        Disease Awareness Month'': Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives supports the 
designation of ``National Lyme Disease Awareness Month'' to increase 
public knowledge of the disease, raise awareness about the prevention 
of tick bites, and advance the vision of finding a cure through 
critical research.

Whereas, in the aftermath of the Vietnam War, approximately 800,000 Vietnamese 
        refugees fleeing persecution resettled in the United States;
Whereas an estimated 1.7 million Vietnamese Americans currently reside in the 
        United States, making the United States home to the largest number of 
        individuals of Vietnamese descent outside of Vietnam and Vietnamese 
        Americans the fourth largest Asian American population in the United 
        States;
Whereas Vietnamese Americans have established strong communities across the 
        country, including in the States of California, Florida, Georgia, 
        Louisiana, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New York, Pennsylvania, Texas, 
        Virginia, and Washington;
Whereas first- and second-generation Vietnamese Americans have overcome 
        tremendous socio-economic challenges, including discrimination, language 
        and cultural barriers, and poverty, to emerge as significant 
        contributors to American society;
Whereas Vietnamese Americans contribute to American society through their work 
        in business, education, science and technology, engineering, 
        mathematics, literature and the arts, gastronomy, the armed forces, and 
        public service at every level of government;
Whereas Vietnamese Americans support the advancement of religious freedom, 
        democracy, and human rights around the world; and
Whereas Vietnamese Americans contribute to the rich cultural and religious 
        diversity of the Nation: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Representatives to 
recognize the accomplishments and significant contributions of 
Vietnamese Americans in the United States.

                               RESOLUTION


 
       Recognizing the celebration of the Hmong New Year in 2018.

Whereas the Hmong New Year is traditionally celebrated at the end of the rice 
        harvest season in Laos and Southeast Asia in late November or early 
        December;
Whereas the Hmong New Year traditionally spans multiple days, with each village 
        starting and ending the New Year on a different date to allow other 
        villages to come, support, and visit each other;
Whereas the Hmong New Year is traditionally a time to give thanks to ancestral 
        spirits and visit other villages;
Whereas Hmong New Year celebrations traditionally include song, dance, food, and 
        courtship games for youth, including pov pob, a ball-throwing game;
Whereas Hmong Americans across the United States celebrate the New Year on 
        weekends from October to December; and
Whereas Hmong New Year celebrations are a significant cultural tradition in many 
        communities across the United States: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) recognizes the cultural and historical significance of 
        the Hmong New Year;
            (2) expresses the deepest respect for Hmong Americans 
        celebrating this occasion; and
            (3) wishes Hmong Americans and all individuals who observe

Whereas, on July 16, 2018, the Speaker of the House of Representatives stated

Whereas the Speaker further stated that the President must appreciate that 
        Russia is not an ally of the United States;

Supporting the goals and ideals of S.M.A.R.T. Parent Day, and inviting 
           State and local governments to recognize this day.

Whereas parents becoming aware of the many new media applications and settings 
        is necessary to keep children safe from cyberbullying;
Whereas children must be educated to recognize mutual respect for themselves and 
        others while using social media to stymie the harms of cyberbullying;
Whereas healthy interpersonal relationships require an appropriate balance 
        between direct and cyber communication;
Whereas parental engagement with children on the appropriate timing and use of 
        cyber and cellular communication prevents and identifies cyberbullying, 
        while building better communities;
Whereas H.B. 315, as passed by the Ohio House of Representatives, would

Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives regarding sexually 
          exploited and trafficked girls in the United States.

Whereas most girls subjected to commercial sexual exploitation and trafficking 
        come from a broken child welfare system or are runaway youth that were 
        subsequently preyed upon by exploiters and traffickers;
Whereas it is important to provide education for family, friends, and neighbors 
        to understand that these girls are victims;
Whereas survivors of domestic trafficking need support in their efforts to raise 
        awareness on identifying trafficked girls and the systems of support 
        that such girls require to heal from the complex trauma of sexual 
        violence and exploitation;
Whereas the same protections and supports available to victims of child abuse 
        should be extended to child victims of trafficking; and
Whereas exploited and trafficked girls are not ``bad girls'' or ``child 
        prostitutes'', but are victims of systemized rape who need the same 
        legal supports and protections other rape victims are afforded: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives supports efforts to--
            (1) provide protections and supports for sexually exploited 
        and trafficked girls in the United States; and
            (2) create criminal or civil penalties for anyone who buys 
        or sells a child through a system of child trafficking.

              Declaring support for Brain Awareness Week.

Whereas more than 1,000 neurological and neurodegenerative diseases, such as 
        schizophrenia, traumatic brain injury, autism and Parkinson's disease 
        affect the lives of nearly 100 million Americans;
Whereas neurological and neurodegenerative diseases are the leading contributors 
        to global disease burden;
Whereas neurological illnesses and mental disorders cost the United States more 
        than $760 billion per year and can only be decreased through improved 
        prevention, treatment, and the development of cures;
Whereas the Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies 
        (BRAIN) Initiative, whose multi-agency, cross-disciplinary work involves 
        private and public entities, including the National Institutes of Health 
        and the National Science Foundation, among others, is promoting research 
        to develop new tools and technologies to revolutionize our understanding 
        of the human brain and create lifesaving breakthroughs; and
Whereas one dollar of research funding for the National Institutes of Health and 
        the National Science Foundation each generates more than two dollars of 
        economic output: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives does hereby declare 
support for Brain Awareness Week and calls upon all Americans to 
recognize the valuable contributions that have been made to date in 
brain and spinal cord research and to support the conduct of this 
critical research in the future.
