    Expressing support for designation of July as National Sarcoma 
                            Awareness Month.

Whereas sarcoma is a cancer of connective tissues, such as nerves, muscles, 
        joints, fat, bones, and blood vessels, and it can arise anywhere in the 
        body;
Whereas 15,000 people in the United States were diagnosed with sarcoma last 
        year, more than 6,000 died, and 50,000 are struggling with the disease 
        at any one time;
Whereas 1 percent of cancers diagnosed in adults and 20 percent of cancers 
        diagnosed in children each year are sarcoma;
Whereas more than 50 subtypes of sarcoma have been identified;
Whereas the National Cancer Institute recognizes that sarcoma is often 
        misdiagnosed and underreported; and
Whereas July would be an appropriate month to designate as National Sarcoma 
        Awareness Month to raise awareness of the disease and encourage more 
        individuals to get properly diagnosed and treated: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives supports the 
designation of National Sarcoma Awareness Month.

   Recognizing the 100th anniversary of the Academy of Nutrition and 
   Dietetics, the world's largest organization of food and nutrition 
                             professionals.

Whereas October 20, 1917, was the date on which the constitution and bylaws of 
        the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (then known as the American 
        Dietetic Association) were adopted;
Whereas the Academy was founded in Cleveland, Ohio, by a group of visionary 
        women dedicated to helping the American government conserve food and 
        improve the public's health and nutrition during World War I;
Whereas during its first century, the Academy has grown from a charter 
        membership of 58 into a worldwide, diverse membership of more than 
        75,000 registered dietitian nutritionists, dietetic technicians, 
        scientists, clinicians, educators, students, and other food and 
        nutrition practitioners;
Whereas members of the Academy have from the organization's founding to the 
        present day played a pivotal role in shaping the public's food choices, 
        improving people's nutritional status, and preventing and treating 
        chronic diseases across the lifecycle; and
Whereas October 20, 2017, should be commemorated as the 100th anniversary of the 
        Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) commemorates the 100th anniversary of the Academy of 
        Nutrition and Dietetics; and
            (2) expresses hope that the Academy of Nutrition and 
        Dietetics proudly will enter its second century and honor its 
        distinguished history by continuing to improve the Nation's 
        health, by setting as bold a vision for the future as its 
        founders did in 1917, and by advancing the profession of 
        dietetics through research, education and advocacy.

for individuals with pre-existing conditions should be retained in law 
  regardless of further amendments to, or the repeal of, the Patient 
                  Protection and Affordable Care Act.

Whereas pre-existing conditions can affect any individual regardless of race, 
        gender, age, social class, or creed;
Whereas health insurance coverage should not discriminate against those with 
        pre-existing conditions;
Whereas pre-existing condition protections have long been supported in a 
        bipartisan manner; and
Whereas protections for pre-existing conditions should be included in any reform 
        of our Nation's health care system: Now, therefore, be it

Congress should--
            (1) support protections in law for individuals with pre-

  Recognizing the systematic abductions of Japanese citizens by North 
                                 Korea.

Whereas the United States of America recognizes that North Korea was abducting 
        Japanese citizens since the 1970s;
Whereas the Universal Declaration of Human Rights upholds the basic principles 
        of liberty and freedom enshrined within the United States Constitution 
        and Bill of Rights;
Whereas human rights awareness is essential to the realization of fundamental 
        freedoms and contributes to promoting equality, preventing conflict and 
        human rights violations, and enhancing participation in democratic 
        processes;
Whereas these abductions of Japanese citizens by North Korea directly conflict 
        with the basic principle of liberty and freedom; and
Whereas there have been several attempts at dialogue between North Korea and 
        Japanese leaders in an effort to yield stable results: Now, therefore, 
        be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) calls on the Government of North Korea to release any 
        abducted foreign nationals, including, but not limited to, 
        those from Japan;
            (2) urges the Government of North Korea to return the 
        remains and provide information on any deceased abductees;
            (3) urges the Government of North Korea to make such 
        reparations as are appropriate regarding abductees; and
            (4) urges the Government of North Korea to apologize and

Whereas the Aviation Cadet Museum was founded in 1994 by former aviation cadet

Whereas, from 1917 until 1965, the flying cadet and succeeding aviation cadet 
        programs served as the primary production source for nearly 500,000 
        joint service pilots, navigators, and bombardiers;
Whereas the bravery, courage, dedication, and heroism of aviators and supporting 
        ground crews from the Army Air Corps and the Army Air Forces were 
        critical factors in defeating the enemies of the United States during 
        World War I and World War II;

        museum in the United States that exists exclusively to preserve and 
        promote an understanding of the role of aviation cadets in the 20th 
        century; and
Whereas the Aviation Cadet Museum is dedicated to--

 Calling for Congress to investigate allegations of sexual misconduct 
                        against President Trump.

Whereas gender inequality in America unfortunately and undeniably persists to 
        this day;
Whereas the recent ``Me Too'' movement has empowered women who have been the 
        victims of sexual misconduct;
Whereas we are at a pivotal time in our Nation's history to denounce sexual 
        misconduct;
Whereas Members of Congress have been accused of sexual misconduct;
Whereas allegations against these Members of Congress are being investigated by 
        the Committee on Ethics of the House and the Select Committee on Ethics 
        of the Senate; and
Whereas President Donald J. Trump has been accused of sexual misconduct by 13 
        courageous women: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Representatives that 
Congress should investigate the allegations of sexual misconduct which 
have been made against President Trump, either through an existing 
committee or a committee established for purposes of investigating 
these allegations.

Urging the people of the United States to observe October of each year 
            as Italian and Italian-American Heritage Month.

Whereas Italian and Italian-American Heritage Month is an appropriate time to 
        recognize the enormous contributions the Italian and Italian-American 
        people have made to this country and the world throughout our history, 
        including generals, admirals, philosophers, statesmen, musicians, 
        athletes, and Nobel Prize-winning scientists;
Whereas Italian and Italian-American Heritage Month is held to salute the 
        Italian and Italian-American community and to exhibit appreciation for 
        their culture and their heritage that have immeasurably enriched the 
        lives of the people of this Nation and the world;
Whereas the strength and success of the United States, the vitality of our 
        communities, and the effectiveness of our American society depend, in 
        great measure, upon the distinctive and sterling qualities demonstrated 
        by our various ethnic groups, exemplified by members of the Italian and 
        Italian-American community, who share with us their rich and unique 
        heritage; and
Whereas it is fitting and proper that October of each year be observed as 
        Italian and Italian-American Heritage Month throughout the United 
        States: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That in order to recognize the enormous contributions 
Italian and Italian-American people have made to this country and the 
world throughout our history, the House of Representatives urges the 
people of the United States to acknowledge an Italian and Italian-
American Heritage Month and to observe the month with appropriate

    Expressing support for designation of October 17, 2017, as the 
                  ``National Vitiligo Awareness Day''.

Whereas vitiligo is a long-term, chronic disorder that results in the loss of 
        pigment in patches on the skin, hair, eyes, and inside of the mouth;
Whereas the condition can result in discomfort, itching, and pain, but there is 
        still no known cure;
Whereas the American Academy of Dermatology refers to vitiligo as a life-
        altering disorder that can cause low self-esteem, anger, and depression;
Whereas according to the American Academy of Dermatology, about half of the 
        individuals diagnosed with vitiligo are diagnosed before the age of 21;
Whereas a study by Pediatric Dermatology found that about half of all children 
        and adolescents diagnosed with vitiligo experienced a decreased quality 
        of life, and some individuals even experienced problems with schoolwork, 
        increased bullying and teasing, trouble with developing friendships, and 
        self-confidence issues;
Whereas a Yale study found that bullied children are two to nine times more 
        likely to consider suicide, and the CDC reports suicide is the third 
        leading cause of death among young people; and
Whereas Judith Porter, Ph.D., and Ann Beuf, Ph.D., found that social support for 
        children and adolescents with vitiligo provided by families, peers, 
        charities, support groups, and teachers can greatly improve their 
        quality of life and decrease stress related to bullying: Now, therefore, 
        be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) supports the designation of ``National Vitiligo 
        Awareness Day''; and
            (2) recognizes the importance of providing support for 
        individuals diagnosed with vitiligo to improve their quality of 
        life.
