 Designating January 27, 2017, as ``Earned Income Tax Credit Awareness 
                                 Day''.

Whereas the earned income tax credit is a refundable Federal tax credit

Whereas the earned income tax credit provides substantial economic benefit to 
        local economies; and
Whereas an estimated 20 percent of eligible workers do not claim the earned 
        income tax credit: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) designates Friday, January 27, 2017, as ``Earned Income 
        Tax Credit Awareness Day''; and

Whereas Northeastern Illinois University is known for--

Saudi Arabia from enriching uranium or separating plutonium on its own 
  territory, in keeping with the strongest possible nonproliferation 
                           ``gold standard''.

Whereas the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, done at

        fiftieth anniversary, obligates non-nuclear weapon states, in Article

Supporting the designation of September 2018 as ``National Alcohol and

Whereas the theme for National Alcohol and Drug Addiction Recovery Month in 2018 
        is ``Join the Voices for Recovery: Invest in Health, Homes, Purpose, and 
        Community'';
Whereas an estimated 72,000 people in the United States suffered a fatal 
        overdose in 2017, with an average number of 197 fatal overdoses per day;
Whereas there are roughly 25,000,000 people in the United States in recovery 
        from alcohol and drug addiction;
Whereas the total cost to the economy of prescription opioid misuse is 
        $78,500,000,000 annually, and includes the cost of healthcare, lost 
        productivity, addiction treatment, and involvement of the criminal 
        justice system;
Whereas people with substance use disorder face stigma from health professionals 
        as well as friends and family;
Whereas it has been demonstrated that that stigma is a major barrier for people 
        with substance use disorder to access treatment and engage in recovery; 
        and
Whereas peer-supported communities offer people with substance use disorder 
        better success in recovery, address personal and emotional effects of 
        addiction, and ease reintegration: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate joins the voices for recovery to invest 
in health, homes, purpose, and community in September 2018 and every 
month--
            (1) in recognizing the importance of education and 
        prevention of substance use disorder;
            (2) in exploring how integrated care, community, and sense 
        of purpose can lead to effective and sustainable treatment; and

        members, friends, and recovery allies who support individuals

Whereas more than 28,000,000 children in the United States have parents who work 
        outside the home;
Whereas high-quality programs that expand learning opportunities for children, 
        such as afterschool, before-school, summer, and expanded learning 
        opportunities, provide safe, challenging, engaging, and fun learning 
        experiences, including experiences that encourage science, technology, 
        engineering, and math, that help children and youth develop social, 
        emotional, physical, cultural, and academic skills;
Whereas high-quality afterschool programs and high-quality expanded learning 
        opportunities provide students with hands-on, engaging lessons that are 
        aligned with the school day;
Whereas high-quality afterschool programs complement regular and expanded school 
        days and support working families by ensuring that the children of those 
        families are safe and productive during the hours parents are working;
Whereas high-quality afterschool programs engage families, schools, and diverse 
        community partners in advancing the well-being of children and youth in 
        the United States;
Whereas high-quality afterschool programs that partner with high-quality 
        community-based organizations build stronger communities by integrating 
        schools with the larger community; and
Whereas Lights On Afterschool, a national celebration of afterschool, before-
        school, summer, and expanded learning opportunities programs, held on 
        October 26, 2017, highlights the critical importance of those high-
