SECTION 1. PARTICIPATION OF ABSENT SENATORS DURING A NATIONAL CRISIS.

     Rule XII of the Standing Rules of the Senate is amended by adding 
at the end the following:
            ``5. Senators may use technology that has been approved by 
        the Secretary of the Senate and Sergeant at Arms and Director 
        of the Doorkeepers as reliable and secure to cast their votes 
        from outside of the Senate Chamber if the majority leader or 
        his or her designee and the minority leader or his or her 
        designee determine that an extraordinary crisis of national 
        extent exists in which it would be infeasible for Senators to 
        cast their votes in person. Senators in such circumstance may 
        then cast votes under this paragraph only during the 30-day 
        period beginning on the date on which such determination is 
        made unless such period is renewed by an affirmative vote of 
        three-fifths of the Senators duly chosen and sworn. During such 
        period, Senators participating remotely and using approved 
        technology to cast their votes under this paragraph shall be 
        deemed present for quorum purposes. The determination made 
        under this paragraph shall not rely on any decision of any 
        other branch of the United States Government. The majority 
        leader or his or her designee and the minority leader or his or 
        her designee shall submit at the beginning of the first session 
        of each Congress an order for designees of each caucus in the 
        case of such a crisis.''.

Whereas, on June 12, 2016, a gunman inspired by the Islamic State of Iraq and

        aftermath of the horrendous event;
Whereas June 12 is designated as ``Pulse Remembrance Day'' in the State of

Whereas the bravery, courage, dedication, and heroism of United States aviators

Whereas the Aviation Cadet Museum in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, exists to 
        exclusively preserve and promote an understanding of the role of

Recognizing Israeli-American culture and heritage and the contributions

Whereas Israeli-Americans are a vibrant immigrant community contributing to the 
        diversity of the United States;
Whereas Israeli-Americans, including those on college campuses in the United 
        States, have been subject to forms of discrimination and desire to 
        connect with their culture and celebrate their heritage free from 
        bigotry and bias;
Whereas the United States is a nation of immigrants, and Israeli-Americans 
        contribute invaluable skills that promote the economy and protect the

Whereas Congress created the Alabama Territory from the eastern half of the 
        Mississippi Territory on March 3, 1817;
Whereas by 1819, the birth and growth of cities, towns, and communities in the 
        Alabama Territory ensured that the population of the Alabama Territory 
        had developed sufficiently to achieve the minimum number of inhabitants 
        required by Congress to qualify for statehood;

Whereas the designation of School Bus Safety Month will allow broadcast and

        disseminate public service announcements that are produced in order--

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

    (2) to recognize school bus drivers and professionals; and

    (3) to encourage the driving public to engage in safer driving behavior 
near school buses when students are boarding and disembarking from the

Whereas key leaders who are deserving of recognition during School Bus Safety 
        Month and beyond have provided security awareness training materials to

Expressing support for the designation of March 21, 2019, as ``National 
                        Rosie the Riveter Day''.

Whereas National Rosie the Riveter Day is a collective national effort to raise 
        awareness of the more than 18,000,000 women in the civilian labor force 
        during World War II;
Whereas the people of the United States have chosen to honor women workers who

Whereas those women left their homes to work or volunteer full-time in 
        factories, farms, shipyards, airplane factories, banks, and other 
        institutions in support of the Armed Forces overseas;
Whereas those women worked with the United Service Organizations and the 
        American Red Cross, drove trucks, riveted airplane parts, collected 
        critical materials, rolled bandages, and served on rationing boards;
Whereas it is fitting and proper to recognize and preserve the history and 
        legacy of working women, including volunteer women, during World War II

        descendants;
Whereas those women and their descendants wish to further the advancement of

                               RESOLUTION


 
Honoring the faithful and unwavering service of Civil Air Transport and 
                   Air America to the United States.

Whereas, over the course of 4 decades, the courage, dedication to duty, superior 
        airmanship, and sacrifice of the men and women of Civil Air Transport 
        and Air America set high standards for future covert air operations;
Whereas, during the Cold War, aircrews and ground personnel of Civil Air 
        Transport and Air America gave selflessly in service to the worldwide 
        battle against communist oppression;
Whereas, across multiple active military theaters from the Far East to Southeast 
        Asia, the legendary men and women of Civil Air Transport and Air America 
        served heroically, and many of those men and women gave their lives in 
        the defense of freedom;
Whereas, often at great personal risk of enemy ground fire and possible capture, 
        Air America acted quickly and decisively to conduct search and rescue 
        operations to recover downed aviators in trouble, always fully embodying 
        the ``Airman's Creed''; and
Whereas the individuals of Air America performed these search and rescue 
        operations despite often outdated equipment, hazardous terrain, 
        dangerous weather, and the bureaucracy of their own governments: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) recognizes the skill, bravery and loyalty of veterans 
        of Civil Air Transport and Air America; and
            (2) honors the sacrifices of veterans of Civil Air 
        Transport and Air America to defend freedom and protect the 
        United States.

Whereas there are projected to be 3,200,000 full-time public school teachers in 
        2020;
Whereas approximately 200,000 teachers leave the profession each year;
Whereas in the 115th Congress, there were more than 2 times as many Members of

Whereas Members of Congress should be on the ground in public schools to

        challenges relating to--

    (1) a growing shortage of teachers;

  Designating March 25, 2019, as ``National Cerebral Palsy Awareness 
                                 Day''.

Whereas a group of permanent disorders of the development of movement and 
        posture that are attributed to nonprogressive disturbances that occur in 
        the developing brain is referred to as ``cerebral palsy'';
Whereas cerebral palsy, the most common motor disability in children, is caused 
        by damage to 1 or more specific areas of the developing brain, which 
        usually occurs during fetal development before, during, or after birth;
Whereas the majority of children who have cerebral palsy are born with cerebral 
        palsy, but cerebral palsy may be undetected for months or years;
Whereas 75 percent of individuals with cerebral palsy also have 1 or more 
        developmental disabilities, including epilepsy, intellectual disability, 
        autism, visual impairment, or blindness;
Whereas, according to information released by the Centers for Disease Control 
        and Prevention--

    (1) the prevalence of cerebral palsy is not changing over time; and

    (2) an estimated 1 in 323 children has cerebral palsy;

Whereas approximately 764,000 individuals in the United States are affected by 
        cerebral palsy;
Whereas, although there is no cure for cerebral palsy, treatment often improves 
        the capabilities of a child with cerebral palsy;
Whereas scientists and researchers are hopeful for breakthroughs in cerebral 
        palsy research;
Whereas researchers across the United States conduct important research projects 
        involving cerebral palsy; and
Whereas the Senate can raise awareness of cerebral palsy in the public and the 
        medical community: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) designates March 25, 2019, as ``National Cerebral Palsy 
        Awareness Day''; and
            (2) encourages each individual in the United States to 
        become better informed about and aware of cerebral palsy.
