                   IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES

                           February 27, 2017

    Mr. Corker (for himself and Mr. Cardin) submitted the following 
  resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations

                               RESOLUTION


 
                  Raising awareness of modern slavery.

Whereas it is estimated that tens of millions of children, women, and men around 
        the world are subjected to conditions of modern slavery;
Whereas the International Labour Organization estimates that modern slavery 
        generates more than $150,000,000,000 in criminal profits each year;
Whereas, despite being outlawed in every nation, modern slavery exists around 
        the world, including in the United States;
Whereas, around the world, 55 percent of forced labor victims are women or 
        girls, and nearly 1 in 5 victims of slavery is a child;
Whereas global leadership continues to coalesce around real and coordinated 
        actions to end modern slavery, as exemplified in statements by senior 
        officials such as U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May, who has stated, 
        ``Britain is leading the way in pioneering international efforts to 
        crack down on modern slavery--one of the great scourges of our world--
        wherever it is found.'';
Whereas, on December 23, 2016, the End Modern Slavery Initiative, a bipartisan 
        initiative, was authorized to help establish a powerful effort in 
        concert with the private sector and foreign governments to eliminate 
        modern slavery and human trafficking around the globe; and
Whereas, each year, individuals around the world join together to call for an 
        end to modern slavery by symbolically drawing a red ``X'' symbol on 
        their hands to share the message of the END IT movement: Now, therefore, 
        be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) commends each individual who supported the END IT 
        movement on February 23, 2017;
            (2) notes the dedication of individuals, organizations, and 
        governments to end modern slavery; and
            (3) calls for concerted, international action to bring an 
        end to modern slavery around the world.

                               RESOLUTION


 
  Designating the month of June 2018 as ``Immigrant Heritage Month''.

Whereas the United States has a rich history because the United States has 
        always been a country of immigrants;
Whereas the diverse heritage of the United States is one of the defining aspects 
        of the country's success story;
Whereas generations of immigrants from every corner of the globe have helped 
        build the economy of the United States and created the unique character 
        of the country;
Whereas the United States has long served as a melting pot of cultural 
        diversity;
Whereas immigrants continue to grow businesses, innovate, strengthen the 
        economy, and create jobs for people in the United States; and
Whereas many immigrants are entrepreneurs and business owners: Now, therefore, 
        be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) designates June 2018 as ``Immigrant Heritage Month'';
            (2) recognizes the significance of Immigrant Heritage Month 
        as an important time to celebrate the contributions of 
        immigrants to the history of the United States; and
            (3) urges the people of the United States to observe

Expressing support for the designation of May 1, 2018, as ``Silver Star 
                         Service Banner Day''.

Whereas the Senate has always honored the sacrifices made by the wounded and ill 
        members of the Armed Forces;
Whereas the Silver Star Service Banner has come to represent the members of the 
        Armed Forces and veterans who were wounded or became ill in combat in 
        the wars fought by the United States;
Whereas the Silver Star Families of America was formed to help the people of the 
        United States remember the sacrifices made by the wounded and ill 
        members of the Armed Forces by designing and manufacturing Silver Star 
        Service Banners and Silver Star Flags for that purpose;
Whereas the sole mission of the Silver Star Families of America is to evoke 
        memories of the sacrifices made by members of the Armed Forces and 
        veterans on behalf of the United States through the presence of a Silver 
        Star Service Banner in a window or a Silver Star Flag flying;
Whereas the sacrifices made by members of the Armed Forces and veterans on 
        behalf of the United States should never be forgotten; and
Whereas May 1, 2018, is an appropriate date to designate as ``Silver Star 
        Service Banner Day'': Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) supports the designation of May 1, 2018, as ``Silver

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 29 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--

    (1) to provide resources designed to safeguard children; and

    (2) to 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 
        100,000 school bus operators, and provided more than 110,000 
        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 2018 as ``School Bus 
Safety Month''.

Whereas police officers are indispensable members of the community who put their

Whereas the advancement of community policing should be supported to ensure that

Whereas it is fitting and proper to recognize and preserve the history and

        for a vote;
Whereas the draft health care legislation under consideration by a secretive 
        group is one of the largest public policy reforms taken up by Congress 
        in generations;
Whereas this legislation will affect the lives of all people in the United 
        States;
Whereas health care constitutes \1/6\ of the gross domestic product of the 
        United States; and
Whereas Congress is elected by the people to serve the people: Now, therefore, 
        be it
    Resolved, That it is the sense of the Senate that the creation of 
any sweeping health care legislation must be done in a transparent, 
bipartisan manner in full view of the people of the United States and 
not behind closed doors.
