                           September 25, 2017

                               RESOLUTION


 
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives regarding conduct 
               during a rendition of the National Anthem.

Whereas the composition consisting of the words and music known as the Star-
        Spangled Banner is the National Anthem of the United States;
Whereas the words of the Star-Spangled Banner were written by Francis Scott Key 
        after witnessing an American triumph over British military forces 
        attacking Fort McHenry, Baltimore, in September 1814; and
Whereas on March 3, 1931, the Star-Spangled Banner became the National Anthem of 
        the United States by resolution of Congress: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Representatives that 
appropriate conduct during a rendition of the National Anthem is 
codified in section 301(b) of title 36, United States Code, which 
specifies that persons present who are not in uniform or are not 
members of the Armed Forces or veterans ``should face the flag and 
stand at attention with their right hand over the heart''.

  Celebrating civic advocacy in the United States and supporting the 
           designation of July 24th as National Advocacy Day.

Whereas the Pew Research Center found that approximately 50 percent of adults in 
        the United States reported directly taking part in a civic group or 
        activity every year;
Whereas the Pew Research Center found that approximately 40 percent of adults in 
        the United States reported contacting a government official or speaking 
        out in public forums via offline methods about an issue facing their 
        community;
Whereas the Pew Research Center found that 53 percent of adults in the United 
        States reported engaging in political or civic activity on a social 
        networking site;
Whereas strong civic advocacy and the ability of United States citizens to 
        petition government improves public life and preserves the health of 
        democracy in the United States;
Whereas participation in civic advocacy equips people in the United States with 
        the tools and inspiration to give back to their communities through 
        local and national service;
Whereas participation in advocacy activities provides youth in the United States 
        with leadership qualities and a sense of empowerment;
Whereas participation in advocacy activities improves civic education in the 
        United States and increases awareness about pressing issues and current 
        events, leading to higher levels of social and political participation; 
        and
Whereas the right to petition government is a freedom guaranteed by the First 
        Amendment to the United States Constitution, and should be celebrated 
        for its contribution to civic life in the United States: Now, therefore, 
        be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives supports celebration of 
civic advocacy efforts on National Advocacy Day.

                               RESOLUTION


 
Supporting the designation of March 2017, as National Colorectal Cancer 
                            Awareness Month.

Whereas colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death among men 
        and women combined in the United States;
Whereas this year, more than 130,000 individuals in the United States will be 
        diagnosed with colorectal cancer and approximately 50,000 more will die 
        from it;
Whereas colorectal cancer is one of the most highly preventable forms of cancer 
        because screening tests can find polyps that can be removed before 
        becoming cancerous;
Whereas screening tests can detect colorectal cancer early, when treatment works 
        best;
Whereas the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that if every 
        individual aged 50 or older had regular screening tests, as many as 60 
        percent of deaths from colorectal cancer could be prevented;
Whereas the 5-year survival rate for patients with localized colorectal cancer 
        is 90 percent, but only 39 percent of all diagnoses occur at this stage;
Whereas colorectal cancer screenings can effectively reduce colorectal cancer 
        incidence and mortality, yet, 1 in 3 adults between the ages of 50 and 
        75 are not up to date with recommended colorectal cancer screening;
Whereas public awareness and education campaigns on colorectal cancer 
        prevention, screening, and symptoms are held during the month of March 
        each year; and
Whereas educational efforts can help provide information to the public of 
        methods of prevention and screening, as well as about symptoms for early 
        detection: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) supports the goals and ideals of National Colorectal 
        Cancer Awareness Month; and
            (2) encourages the people of the United States to observe 
        the month with appropriate awareness and educational 
        activities.

                               RESOLUTION


 
    Designating September 16, 2017, as ``Isaac M. Wise Temple Day''.

Whereas 2017 marks the 175th anniversary of the incorporation of the 
        congregation of the Isaac M. Wise Temple in Cincinnati, Ohio;
Whereas 2017 marks the 150th anniversary of the establishment of the current 
        site for the Isaac M. Wise Temple, also known as the ``Plum Street 
        Temple'';
Whereas Rabbi Isaac M. Wise led that congregation for nearly a half century, 
        establishing the congregation as the cradle of American Reform Judaism 
        and helping to make Cincinnati a center of Jewish life in the United 
        States;
Whereas Rabbi Isaac M. Wise founded the Union of American Hebrew Congregations 
        (now known as the ``Union for Reform Judaism'') in 1873 and the Central 
        Conference of Reform Rabbis in 1889 to help lead the United States 
        Jewish Reform movement;
Whereas Rabbi Isaac M. Wise founded the Hebrew Union College in Cincinnati in 
        1875, now the oldest rabbinical school in continuous existence in the 
        United States; and
Whereas the Isaac M. Wise Plum Street Temple is listed on the National Register 
        of Historic Places for the significant role that the Temple played in 
        the history of Reform Judaism and for the unique Moorish architectural 
        style of the Temple: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--

 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 more than 1,800,000 
        recipients; and
Whereas August 7, 2017, is an appropriate day to celebrate as National Purple 
        Heart Recognition Day: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (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.

Encouraging people in the United States to recognize March 2, 2018, as

Whereas reading is a basic requirement for quality education and professional 
        success, and is a source of pleasure throughout life;
Whereas the people of the United States must be able to read if the United 
        States is to remain competitive in the global economy;
Whereas Congress has placed great emphasis on reading intervention and providing 
        additional resources for reading assistance, including through the 
        programs authorized by the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 
        1965 (20 U.S.C. 6301 et seq.) and through annual appropriations for 
        library and literacy programs; and
Whereas more than 50 national organizations concerned about reading and 
        education have joined with the National Education Association (NEA) to 
        use March 2nd to celebrate reading and all authors who ignite a love of 
        reading: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) honors all authors for their success in encouraging 
        children to discover the joy of reading, including authors like 
        Theodor Geisel (also known as ``Dr. Seuss''), and Patricia 
        McKissack;
            (2) honors the 21st anniversary of Read Across America Day;
            (3) encourages parents, educators, and communities to read 
        with their children for at least 30 minutes on Read Across 
        America Day in honor of the commitment of the House of 
        Representatives to building a Nation of readers; and
            (4) encourages the people of the United States to observe 
        Read Across America Day with appropriate ceremonies and 
        activities.
