Whereas only 1 in 5 African-American women believes she is personally at risk;
Whereas only 52 percent of African-American women are aware of the signs and

Whereas only 36 percent of African-American women know that heart disease is

                               RESOLUTION


 
 Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the United 
States postal facility network is an asset of significant value and the 
   United States Postal Service should take appropriate measures to 
maintain, modernize and fully utilize the existing post office network 
                          for economic growth.

Whereas the postal facility network is an integral part of universal service and 
        should be modernized to make universal service relevant for the 21st 
        century;
Whereas the closure of post offices in rural communities would create an 
        economic burden for people in the United States that depend on universal 
        service for communication, package services, and non-typical postal 
        services;
Whereas the closure process of post offices does not adequately take into 
        account community input;
Whereas post offices are recognized as secure and trustworthy, and could 
        function as the location for other government services, community 
        events, and emergency services; and
Whereas post offices have become a part of the identity of rural communities, 
        and provide a significant social value: 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 modernize and maintain a post office network.

                               RESOLUTION


 
  Opposing the detention and deportation of Iraqi Chaldean Christians.

Whereas the United States has traditionally had an important role as a safe 
        harbor for persecuted religious minorities;
Whereas the Trump Administration has pledged to prioritize the defense of 
        persecuted minorities in the Middle East and around the world;
Whereas the United States Congress and the Department of State have recognized 
        that genocide has been committed against the religious minorities of 
        Iraq;
Whereas Chaldean Christians represent a significant religious minority in Iraq;
Whereas the Chaldean community of Iraq faces active persecution by both state 
        and nonstate actors;
Whereas the Department of Homeland Security has detained several hundred 
        Chaldeans living in the United States for possible deportation to Iraq;
Whereas any Chaldean deported to Iraq will be subject to discrimination, violent 
        persecution, and possibly death; and
Whereas the Chaldean community represents a vibrant and important part of United 
        States culture and society: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) opposes the detention and possible removal of Iraqi 
        Chaldeans; and
            (2) urges President Donald Trump to use his executive 
        authority and discretion to defer deportation for Iraqi 
        Chaldeans living in the United States.

Whereas, according to a study commissioned by the Department of Justice, in some 
        tribal communities, American Indian women face murder rates that are 
        more than 10 times the national average;
Whereas, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, homicide 
        was the third leading cause of death among American Indian and Alaska 
        Native women between 10 and 24 years of age and the fifth leading cause 
        of death for American Indian and Alaska Native women between 25 and 34 
        years of age;
Whereas little data exist on the number of missing American Indian and Alaska 
        Native women in the United States;
Whereas, on July 5, 2013, Hanna Harris, a member of the Northern Cheyenne Tribe, 
        was reported missing by her family in Lame Deer, Montana;
Whereas the body of Hanna Harris was found 5 days after she went missing;
Whereas Hanna Harris was determined to have been raped and murdered and the 
        individuals accused of committing those crimes were convicted;
Whereas the case of Hanna Harris is only one example of many similar cases; and
Whereas Hanna Harris was born on May 5, 1992: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) supports the designation of ``National Day of Awareness 
        for Missing and Murdered Native Women and Girls''; and
            (2) calls on the people of the United States and interested 
        groups to--
                    (A) commemorate the lives of missing and murdered 
                American Indian and Alaska Native women whose cases are 
                documented and undocumented in public records and the 
                media; and
                    (B) demonstrate solidarity with the families of

Supporting the designation of March 2018 as National Colorectal Cancer 
                            Awareness Month.

Whereas colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death among men 
        and women combined in the United States;
Whereas this year, more than 130,000 individuals in the United States will be 
        diagnosed with colorectal cancer and approximately 50,000 more will die 
        from it;
Whereas colorectal cancer is one of the most highly preventable forms of cancer 
        because screening tests can find polyps that can be removed before 
        becoming cancerous;
Whereas screening tests can detect colorectal cancer early, when treatment works 
        best;
Whereas the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that if every 
        individual aged 50 or older had regular screening tests, as many as 60 
        percent of deaths from colorectal cancer could be prevented;
Whereas the 5-year survival rate for patients with localized colorectal cancer 
        is 90 percent, but only 39 percent of all diagnoses occur at this stage;
Whereas colorectal cancer screenings can effectively reduce colorectal cancer 
        incidence and mortality, yet, 1 in 3 adults between the ages of 50 and 
        75 are not up to date with recommended colorectal cancer screening;
Whereas public awareness and education campaigns on colorectal cancer 
        prevention, screening, and symptoms are held during the month of March 
        each year; and
Whereas educational efforts can help provide information to the public of 
        methods of prevention and screening, as well as about symptoms for early 
        detection: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) supports the goals and ideals of National Colorectal 
        Cancer Awareness Month; and
            (2) encourages the people of the United States to observe 
        the month with appropriate awareness and educational 
        activities.
