 Ms. Esty of Connecticut (for herself, Mr. Courtney, Ms. DeLauro, Mr. 
     Larson of Connecticut, and Mr. Himes) submitted the following 
   resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Ways and Means

                               RESOLUTION


 
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the deduction 
   for State and local taxes is beneficial and should remain intact.

Whereas the deduction for State and local taxes is a fundamental cornerstone of 
        American fiscal federalism;
Whereas eliminating the deduction for State and local taxes would increase taxes 
        for approximately 24 percent of taxpayers nationwide;
Whereas the deduction for State and local taxes helps State and local 
        governments fund K-12 education, economic development, job training, 
        transportation, health care, police, fire, parks, libraries, community 
        health facilities, and first responders, all of which would be at risk 
        if the deduction were eliminated;
Whereas using the sum of property tax (real estate tax and personal property 
        tax), corporate income tax, and the greater of individual income tax or 
        general sales tax as a rough measure of potentially deductible taxes, 
        the potentially deductible portion of State and local taxes was about 32 
        percent of general revenues overall in 2013; and
Whereas 60 percent of taxpayers making less than $50,000 a year claim the State 
        and local tax deduction for their local property taxes: Now, therefore, 
        be it
    Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Representatives that 
the deduction for State and local taxes is beneficial to American 
taxpayers and should remain intact.

                               RESOLUTION


 
   Expressing support for the designation of National Public Safety 
                             Aviation Day.

Whereas, for over 65 years, airplanes and helicopters have been an important 
        part of public safety efforts in communities throughout the United 
        States;
Whereas professional public safety aircrews and pilots have flown millions of 
        hours protecting persons and property, often under hazardous and 
        dangerous conditions;
Whereas public safety agencies have long recognized the value of utilizing 
        airborne assets;
Whereas professional public safety aircrews recognize the importance of aviation 
        safety during their missions; and
Whereas July 26 would be an appropriate date to designate as National Public 
        Safety Aviation Day: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) supports the designation of National Public Safety 
        Aviation Day;
            (2) recognizes the men and women who fly public safety 
        missions to protect people and property in the United States; 
        and
            (3) encourages the President to issue a proclamation 
        calling upon the people of the United States to observe 
        National Public Safety Aviation Day with appropriate ceremonies 
        and activities.

   To express support for recognition of June 2018 as National Orca 
                           Protection Month.

Whereas orcas are an icon of the Pacific Northwest;
Whereas orcas are culturally and spiritually important to Indian tribes in the 
        Pacific Northwest;
Whereas the Puget Sound is home to three pods of Southern Resident orcas;
Whereas the Southern Resident orca population has declined dramatically over the 
        past 50 years;
Whereas the Southern Resident orcas are among the most contaminated marine 
        mammals in the world;
Whereas the Southern Resident orcas are threatened by declining chinook salmon 
        populations;
Whereas the Southern Resident orcas have been protected under the Endangered 
        Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) since 2005 and are one of 
        the most endangered marine mammal populations in the world;
Whereas the Southern Resident orca population reached its lowest level in 34 
        years in 2018, with 13 fewer whales than when the population was listed 
        under the Endangered Species Act of 1973;
Whereas June 2018 has been recognized by the States of Washington and Oregon as 
        Orca Awareness Month; and
Whereas the Federal Government has an obligation to protect and restore the 
        Southern Resident orca population: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives supports recognition of 
National Orca Protection Month.

  support for the designation of April 18, 2017, as National Lineman 
                           Appreciation Day.

Whereas the profession of linemen is steeped in personal, family, and 
        professional tradition;
Whereas linemen are often first responders during storms and other catastrophic 
        events, working to make the scene safe for other public safety heroes;
Whereas linemen must work high atop powerlines 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, 
        to keep electricity flowing;
Whereas linemen play a vital role in the Nation's economy by maintaining and 
        growing the energy infrastructure of the United States;
Whereas linemen must often work under dangerous conditions separated from their 
        families to keep schools and businesses open;
Whereas linemen put their lives on the line every day with little recognition 
        from the community regarding the danger of their work; and
Whereas April 18, 2017, would be an appropriate date to designate as National 
        Lineman Appreciation Day: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) recognizes the efforts of linemen in keeping the power 
        on and protecting public safety; and
            (2) supports the designation of National Lineman

Whereas journeymen linemen provide a vital service on a daily basis;
Whereas journeyman linemen put their lives on the line every day to assure safe 
        and reliable power for the American people;
Whereas journeyman linemen work at heights and in close proximity to energized 
        electric lines, and in emergencies they often work extremely long hours 
        under sometimes dangerous conditions to restore power;
Whereas Henry Miller, the first elected president of the International 
        Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, was killed on July 10, 1896, at just 
        38 years old;
Whereas Henry Miller died of injuries sustained while troubleshooting an 
        electrical outage; and
Whereas there should be a day to honor those industry first responders who have 
        given their lives in the line of duty along with those who provide 
        skillful service in times of local or national crisis: Now, therefore, 
        be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--

        to serve their communities; and
            (3) encourages the people of the United States to observe 
        Journeyman Lineman Recognition Day with appropriate reflection.

Whereas National Cancer Prevention Day is a day to remind us that when looking

Whereas when we work to prevent cancer risks, it impacts human health, the

Whereas cancer is one of the leading causes of death around the world and has

Whereas the disease is the cause of nearly 1 out of every 4 deaths in the United 
        States;
Whereas, by the end of 2016, approximately 1,658,210 new cases are expected to 
        be diagnosed across the United States;
Whereas more than 1,600 cancer-related deaths per day are expected throughout 
        the year for a total of approximately 595,690; and
Whereas February 4, 2017, would be an appropriate date to designate as Cancer

    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) supports the designation of National Cancer Prevention 
        Day;
            (2) recognizes all efforts to raise the awareness for the 
        reduction of cancer risks; and
            (3) recognizes the devastating effect cancer has on 
        families and wishes to expand knowledge, encourage early 
        detection, and work with friends in the medical and scientific 
        fields to put an end to this deadly disease.
