   Designating the week of October 1 through 7, 2017, as ``National 
                       Community Policing Week''.

Whereas police officers are indispensable members of the community who put their 
        lives on the line to protect others;
Whereas promoting strong relationships founded in trust and mutual respect 
        between law enforcement officers and the communities they serve helps 
        ensure the safe and effective execution of the law;
Whereas law enforcement officers and communities that work together to address 
        public safety concerns can create lasting solutions to difficult 
        challenges;
Whereas a long-term commitment to community policing is necessary to eliminate 
        the underlying causes of crime;
Whereas the advancement of community policing should be supported to ensure that 
        State and local law enforcement agencies have necessary resources; and
Whereas community policing has been recognized as an important tool for 
        improving the relationship between law enforcement officers and the 
        communities they serve: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) designates the week of October 1 through 7, 2017, as 
        ``National Community Policing Week''; and
            (2) supports community policing and encourages the people 
        of the United States, law enforcement agencies, and elected 
        officials to identify ways in which communities may improve 
        public safety, strengthen relationships, and build trust.

                               RESOLUTION


 
       Designating November 25, 2018, as ``Drive Safer Sunday''.

Whereas motor vehicle travel is the primary means of transportation in the 
        United States;
Whereas every individual traveling on roads and highways should drive in a safe 
        manner so as to reduce deaths and injuries that result from motor

                            (ii) to publicize the importance of driving 
                        safely on the Sunday after Thanksgiving on the

                        safety; and

                               RESOLUTION


 
        Designating March 2017 as ``National Read Aloud Month''.

Whereas medical experts have concluded that reading aloud is the ``single most 
        important'' activity in which parents can participate in order to 
        prepare their children to read and learn;
Whereas recent research has concluded that, by 3 years of age, there is a gap in 
        early brain development between children whose parents read to them and 
        children whose parents do not;
Whereas Congress has highlighted the importance of early childhood literacy by 
        including funding for State comprehensive literacy plans and targeted 
        funds toward early childhood education programs in the Every Student 
        Succeeds Act (Public Law 114-95; 129 Stat. 1802);
Whereas, in 2013, Read Aloud 15 MINUTES launched a decade-long national campaign 
        highlighting the importance of reading aloud to children, starting from 
        birth; and
Whereas Read Aloud 15 MINUTES now has more than 21 National Leadership Partners 
        and 10,000 grassroots partners, including day care facilities, schools, 
        libraries, health centers, and rotary clubs in all 50 States: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) designates March 2017 as ``National Read Aloud Month''; 
        and
            (2) encourages parents and guardians to read to their 
        children for 15 minutes every day because of the developmental

Whereas on Kids to Parks Day, individuals from rural and urban areas of the 
        United States can be reintroduced to the splendid national, State, and 
        neighborhood parks located in their communities;
Whereas communities across the United States offer a variety of natural 
        resources and public land, often with free access, to individuals 
        seeking outdoor recreation;
Whereas the people of the United States, young and old, should be encouraged to

Expressing support for the designation of May 1, 2017, as ``Silver Star

        United States remember the sacrifices made by the wounded and ill 
        members of the Armed Forces by designing and manufacturing Silver Star 
        Service Banners and Silver Star Flags for that purpose;
Whereas the sole mission of the Silver Star Families of America is to evoke 
        memories of the sacrifices made by members of the Armed Forces and 
        veterans on behalf of the United States through the presence of a Silver 
        Star Service Banner in a window or a Silver Star Flag flying;
Whereas the sacrifices made by members of the Armed Forces and veterans on 
        behalf of the United States should never be forgotten; and
Whereas May 1, 2017, is an appropriate date to designate as ``Silver Star

        Star Service Banner Day''; and

Designating the week of June 4 through June 10, 2018, as ``Hemp History 
                                Week''.

Whereas Hemp History Week will be held from June 4 through June 10, 2018;
Whereas the goals of Hemp History Week are to commemorate the historical 
        relevance of industrial hemp in the United States and to promote the 
        full growth potential of the industrial hemp industry;
Whereas industrial hemp is an agricultural commodity that has been used for 
        centuries to produce many innovative industrial and consumer products, 
        including soap, fabric, textiles, construction materials, clothing, 
        paper, cosmetics, food, and beverages;
Whereas the global market for hemp is estimated to consist of more than 25,000 
        products;
Whereas the value of hemp imported into the United States for use in the 
        production of other retail products is estimated at approximately 
        $76,000,000 annually;
Whereas the United States hemp industry estimates that the annual market value 
        of hemp retail sales in the United States is more than $688,000,000;
Whereas, despite the legitimate uses of hemp, many agricultural producers of the 
        United States are prohibited under current law from growing hemp;
Whereas, because most hemp cannot be grown legally in the United States, raw 
        hemp material and hemp products are imported for sale in the United 
        States;
Whereas the United States is the largest consumer of hemp products in the world, 
        but the United States is the only major industrialized country that 
        restricts hemp farming; and
Whereas industrial hemp holds great potential to bolster the agricultural 
        economy of the United States: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) designates the week of June 4 through June 10, 2018, as 
        ``Hemp History Week'';
            (2) recognizes the historical relevance of industrial hemp; 
        and
            (3) recognizes the growing economic potential of industrial 
        hemp.

        teachers and staff to community service and the futures of the children 
        of the United States;
Whereas the purposes of National Teacher Appreciation Week, celebrated from May

    (1) to raise public awareness of the unquantifiable contributions of

                               RESOLUTION


 
           Designating June 2018 as ``Great Outdoors Month''.

Whereas hundreds of millions of people in the United States participate in 
        outdoor recreation annually;
Whereas Congress enacted the Outdoor Recreation Jobs and Economic Impact Act of 
        2016 (Public Law 114-249; 130 Stat. 999) to assess and analyze the 
        outdoor recreation economy of the United States and the effects 
        attributable to the outdoor recreation economy on the overall economy of 
        the United States;
Whereas preliminary statistics released in 2018 by the Bureau of Economic 
        Analysis of the United States Department of Commerce show that outdoor 
        recreation contributed more than $373,700,000,000 to the economy of the

        domestic product;
Whereas preliminary statistics released in 2018 by the Bureau of Economic 
        Analysis of the United States Department of Commerce show that the

        providing 4,280,000 jobs across the country;
Whereas regular outdoor recreation is associated with positive health outcomes

Whereas outdoor recreation is part of the national heritage of the United

Whereas June 2018 is an appropriate month to designate as ``Great Outdoors

Designating May 5, 2017, as the ``National Day of Awareness for Missing 
                 and Murdered Native Women and Girls''.

Whereas, according to a study commissioned by the Department of Justice, in some 
        tribal communities, American Indian women face murder rates that are 
        more than 10 times the national average murder rate;
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 between 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 little data exist on the number of missing American Indian and Alaska 
        Native women in the United States;
Whereas, on July 5, 2013, Hanna Harris, a member of the Northern Cheyenne Tribe, 
        was reported missing by her family in Lame Deer, Montana;
Whereas the body of Hanna Harris was found 5 days after she went missing;
Whereas Hanna Harris was determined to have been raped and murdered, and the 
        individuals accused of committing those crimes were convicted;
Whereas the case of Hanna Harris is an example of many similar cases; and
Whereas Hanna Harris was born on May 5, 1992: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) designates May 5, 2017, as the ``National Day of 
        Awareness for Missing and Murdered Native Women and Girls''; 
        and
            (2) calls on the people of the United States and interested 
        groups--
                    (A) to commemorate the lives of missing and 
                murdered American Indian and Alaska Native women whose 
                cases are documented and undocumented in public records 
                and the media; and
                    (B) to demonstrate solidarity with the families of

 Supporting the goals and ideals of National Purple Heart Recognition 
                                  Day.

Whereas, on August 7, 1782, during the Revolutionary War, General George 
        Washington established what is now known as the Purple Heart Medal when 
        he issued an order establishing the Badge of Military Merit;
Whereas the Badge of Military Merit was designed in the shape of a heart in 
        purple cloth or silk;
Whereas, while the award of the Badge of Military Merit ceased with the end of 
        the Revolutionary War, the Purple Heart Medal was authorized in 1932 as 
        the official successor decoration to the Badge of Military Merit;
Whereas the Purple Heart Medal is the oldest United States military decoration 
        in present use;
Whereas the Purple Heart Medal is awarded in the name of the President of the 
        United States to recognize members of the Armed Forces who are killed or 
        wounded in action against an enemy of the United States or are killed or 
        wounded while held as prisoners of war;
Whereas the Purple Heart Medal has been awarded to an estimated 1,800,000 
        recipients; and
Whereas August 7, 2018, is an appropriate day to celebrate as National Purple 
        Heart Recognition Day: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) supports the goals and ideals of National Purple Heart 
        Recognition Day; and
            (2) encourages all people of the United States--
                    (A) to learn about the history of the Purple Heart 
                Medal;
                    (B) to honor recipients of the Purple Heart Medal; 
                and
                    (C) to conduct appropriate ceremonies, activities, 
                and programs to demonstrate support for people who have 
                been awarded the Purple Heart Medal.
