                              June 7, 2017

   Mr. Boozman (for himself and Mr. Cotton) submitted the following

 Recognizing the Aviation Cadet Museum in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, as 
        the national aviation cadet museum of the United States.

Whereas the Aviation Cadet Museum was founded in 1994 by former aviation cadet 
        and Air Force First Lieutenant Errol Severe;
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;
Whereas the Aviation Cadet Museum in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, is the only 
        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--

    (1) celebrating the spirit of the United States; and

    (2) recognizing the teamwork, collaboration, patriotism, and courage of 
the men who trained for and fought in, as well as those individuals on the 
home front who mobilized and supported, the national aviation effort: Now, 
therefore, be it

    Resolved, That the Senate recognizes the Aviation Cadet Museum in 
Eureka Springs, Arkansas, as the national aviation cadet museum of the 
United States.

Whereas tens of thousands of pages of documents relating to the September 11, 
        2001, terrorist attacks upon the United States remain classified by the

        information in order to protect sources and methods of collecting 
        critical information in defense of the country and the people of the 
        United States;
Whereas the contents of these documents are necessary for a full public 
        understanding of the events and circumstances surrounding the September 
        11, 2001, terrorist attacks;
Whereas the decision to maintain the classified status of many of these

        information about the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, including 
        the involvement of certain foreign governments in the attacks; and
Whereas the people of the United States and the families of the victims of the

        of the events surrounding the attacks: Now, therefore, be it

Whereas employee-owned companies have a rich history in communities across the

  Honoring the 70th anniversary of the reactivation in 1948 of the 3d 
              Infantry Regiment of the United States Army.

    (1) is the escort to the President and official ceremonial unit of the

Whereas, in 1847, following the valorous performance of the 3d Infantry Regiment 
        in the Mexican War, General Winfield Scott gave the unit the moniker of 
        the ``Old Guard'' during a victory parade in Mexico City;
Whereas the 3d Infantry Regiment has a long history of service, which spans from 
        the Battle of Fallen Timbers to World War II and the Global War on 
        Terrorism;
Whereas, in its capacity as the official ceremonial unit of the United States 
        Army, the 3d Infantry Regiment is responsible for conducting military 
        ceremonies at the White House, the Pentagon, and national memorials, as 
        well as elsewhere in the capital of the United States;
Whereas a battalion of the 3d Infantry Regiment is stationed at Joint Base

 Expressing support for the designation of October 2017 as ``National 
                      Audiology Awareness Month''.

Whereas, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, hearing 
        loss is the third most common chronic physical condition in the United 
        States;
Whereas the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders and 
        the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have found that 24 
        percent of adults in the United States, or 40,000,000 individuals, may 
        have noise-induced hearing loss in 1 or both ears;
Whereas, although the prevalence of hearing loss increases with age, 
        approximately 40 percent of individuals with hearing loss are under the 
        age of 60;
Whereas people frequently delay seeking assessment and treatment for their 
        hearing loss;
Whereas audiologists are health care professionals who diagnose, treat, and 
        manage hearing loss and balance disorders;
Whereas audiologists treat patients in many different settings, including 
        private practice, hospitals, schools, Veterans Health Administration 
        hospitals, and otolaryngology offices;
Whereas October 2017 would be an appropriate month to designate as ``National 
        Audiology Awareness Month''; and
Whereas there is a need for greater awareness on the part of the public 
        regarding issues related to the hearing and balance care provided by 
        audiologists: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) supports the designation of October 2017 as ``National 
        Audiology Awareness Month''; and
            (2) recognizes the actions of audiologists, including

                               RESOLUTION


 
  Expressing the sense of the Senate that electricity markets do not 
   appropriately value the reliability and resilience attributes of 
        baseload power generation serving the bulk power system.

Whereas the power generation resource mix of the United States is rapidly 
        changing, presenting ongoing challenges to ensuring that baseload units 
        remain operational and provide enhanced resilience and reliability to 
        the power grid of the United States;
Whereas many baseload units are not appropriately valued for the resilience and 
        reliability attributes those units provide to the power grid of the 
        United States;
Whereas accelerated retirements of coal-fired and nuclear baseload power 
        generation resources are among those challenges, including how those 
        resources are needed--

    (1) to provide dependable capacity to serve customers;

    (2) to support essential grid services, such as voltage and frequency 
support and ramping capability;

    (3) to offer high availability and reliability from significant on-site 
fuel storage; and

    (4) to support integration of new generation resources; and

Whereas in Docket Numbers RM18-000-001 and AD18-7-001, and in other proceedings, 
        the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has compiled extensive evidence 
        documenting the reliability and resilience attributes of all power 
        generation resources: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That it is the sense of the Senate that the Federal 
Energy Regulatory Commission should take action to ensure that the 
electricity markets fully recognize the reliability and resilience 
benefits of coal-fired and nuclear baseload power generation resources 
serving the bulk power system.

 Celebrating the tenth anniversary of the Women's Congressional Staff 
                              Association.

Whereas, in August 2008, a bipartisan group of female congressional staff 
        members founded the Women's Congressional Staff Association (referred to 
        in this preamble as the ``WCSA''), the first official staff association 
        focused on the professional development of female staff members;
Whereas the WCSA has more than 400 active members in the Senate and the House of 
        Representatives;
Whereas the commitment of the WCSA to bipartisanship fosters congeniality and 
        respect in Congress;
Whereas the WCSA organizes and hosts a variety of career development 
        opportunities for female staffer members, such as resume reviews, 
        networking workshops, and mock interview sessions; and
Whereas the WCSA provides mentoring opportunities to further the career 
        advancement and professional education of young staff members: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) celebrates the tenth anniversary of the founding of the 
        Women's Congressional Staff Association (referred to in this 
        resolving clause as the ``WCSA'');
            (2) commends the WCSA on its many achievements and 
        contributions to the congressional community; and
            (3) reaffirms the commitment of the Senate to supporting 
        the professional development of female staff members.

Whereas, every school day in the United States, approximately 500,000 public and 
        private school buses carry more than 26,000,000 children to and from 
        school;
Whereas school buses comprise the largest mass transportation fleet in the 
        United States;
Whereas 55 percent of all K-12 students ride a school bus, totaling 260,000,000 
        miles for each of the 180 school days in a year, or 46,800,000,000 miles 
        driven annually;
Whereas the Child Safety Network, celebrating 28 years of national public 
        service, supports the CSN Safe Bus campaign, which is designed to 
        provide the latest technology and free safety and security resources to 
        the school bus industry;
Whereas the designation of School Bus Safety Month will allow broadcast and 
        digital media and social networking industries to make commitments to 
        disseminate public service announcements that are produced in order to--

    (1) provide resources designed to safeguard children; and

    (2) recognize school bus drivers and professionals;

Whereas key leaders who are deserving of recognition during School Bus Safety 
        Month and beyond have provided security awareness training materials to 
        more than 14,000 public and private school districts, trained more than 
        80,000 school bus operators, and provided more than 80,000 
        counterterrorism guides to individuals who are key to providing both 
        safety and security for children in the United States; and
Whereas School Bus Safety Month offers the Senate and the people of the United 
        States an opportunity to recognize and thank all of the school bus 
        drivers in the United States and the professionals who are focused on 
        school bus safety and security: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate designates September 2017 as ``School Bus 
Safety Month''.
