Whereas Northeastern Illinois University is known for--

    (1) having the safest campus in the State of Illinois;

Whereas Abraham Lincoln was elected to the House of Representatives in 1846 to 
        represent the 7th Congressional District of Illinois in the Thirtieth

Whereas Abraham Lincoln served the people for 15 years as a State Legislator,

Whereas Abraham Lincoln was a member of the Illinois General Assembly for four

        popular campaigner;
Whereas during Congressman Lincoln's tenure, the room now designated as room H-
        226 of the United States Capitol was used as the post office of the 
        House, where he spent almost every morning exchanging stories near the 
        fireplace;
Whereas the old post office space was just steps away from Congressman Lincoln's 
        desk, where he worked and voted and is now marked by a gold plaque on 
        the floor of Statuary Hall;
Whereas Congressman Lincoln was known to be the champion story-teller of the 
        Capitol, having an endless repertoire of tales;
Whereas Abraham Lincoln was one of America's greatest presidents, whose life was 
        a story of adversity, perseverance, and leadership; and
Whereas when the United States was at its darkest hour, Abraham Lincoln fought 
        to end slavery and brought the country back together: Now, therefore, be 
        it
    Resolved, That room H-226 of the United States Capitol is 
designated as the ``Lincoln Room''.

Whereas Georgia is a valued friend of the United States and has repeatedly

Whereas the European Deterrence Initiative builds the partnership capacity of 
        Georgia so it can work more closely with the United States and NATO, as 
        well as provide for its own defense;
Whereas in addition to the European Deterrence Initiative, Georgia's

        more peaceful environment in the region; and
Whereas despite the losses suffered, as a NATO partner of ISAF, Georgia is

        to provide for the defense of its people and sovereign

        of the sensitive personal information of more than 21 million 
        individuals;
Whereas increasing interconnectedness, facilitated by ubiquitous Internet usage 
        and availability in virtually all aspects of modern life, places all 
        individuals, businesses, public and private entities, and critical 
        infrastructures at significant and persistent risk of cyber attack;
Whereas continuous and rapid technological advancements result in constantly 
        shifting cyber realities with respect to which policymakers have been 
        unable to keep pace; and
Whereas malicious cyber activity has the potential to cause great harm to the 
        national security, economy, and infrastructure of the United States and 
        the health, well-being, and safety of United States citizens: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Representatives that 
the United States should develop and adopt a comprehensive 
cybersecurity policy that clearly defines acts of aggression, acts of 
war, and other related events in cyberspace, including any commensurate 
responses to any such act or event in cyberspace.

Encouraging people in the United States to recognize March 2, 2017, as 
                        Read Across America Day.

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 2 to celebrate reading and the birth of Theodor Geisel, also 
        known as Dr. Seuss: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) honors Theodor Geisel, also known as Dr. Seuss, for his 
        success in encouraging children to discover the joy of reading;
            (2) honors the 20th anniversary of Read Across America Day;
            (3) encourages parents 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.

  Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives regarding our 
                             national debt.

Whereas our national debt exceeds $20 trillion;
Whereas each citizen of the United States would owe over $63,000 to pay off the 
        national debt if they were forced to pay out-of-pocket;
Whereas the national debt is expected to exceed $30 trillion within the next 
        decade;
Whereas when the national debt continues to grow at an alarming rate, the 
        probability of a fiscal crisis increases;
Whereas financial waste and inefficiencies are prevalent in the Federal 
        Government, illustrated by more than 250 areas identified in past 
        Government Accountability Office reports where reforms are needed to 
        reduce duplication and overlap;
Whereas agencies have Office of Inspector Generals and the Government 
        Accountability Office exists in order to monitor Federal spending and 
        identify areas of waste and inefficiency;
Whereas each Member of Congress is elected by, and works for, their constituents 
        who pay taxes;
Whereas each Member is elected to ensure that taxpayers' dollars are used 
        responsibly;
Whereas Congress has the fundamental responsibility to efficiently utilize the 
        power of the purse; and
Whereas the House should find budgetary savings of at least $40 billion each 
        fiscal year: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) believes the national debt is rising unsustainably and 
        needs to urgently be addressed; and
            (2) encourages each Member of the House of Representatives 
        to introduce and advocate for legislation to find at least $100 
        million of Federal programs to cut spending from each fiscal 
        year, aside from annual Appropriations bills.

 Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the United 
 States Postal Service should take all appropriate measures to restore 
            service standards in effect as of July 1, 2012.

Whereas, on January 5, 2015, the United States Postal Service has implemented 
        lower ``service standards'' to virtually eliminate overnight delivery of 
        first class mail and periodicals, and further delay most other mail;
Whereas delayed mail negatively impacts businesses, hurts residents, rural 
        communities and the economy, and drives customers away, resulting in 
        lower revenue and worsens the Postal Service's financial situation; and
Whereas robust service standards implemented by the United States Postal Service 
        are essential to providing prompt and timely delivery of all mail: 
        Online purchases, local newspapers, newsletters, bill payments, letters, 
        invitations, packages, and medicines: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Representatives that 
the United States Postal Service should take all appropriate measures 
to restore service standards in effect as of July 1, 2012.
