                 the Committee on Oversight and Reform

_______________________________________________________________________

                               RESOLUTION


 
   Expressing support for designation of March 3, 2019, as National 
                   Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Day.

Whereas triple-negative breast cancer was recognized as a distinct type of 
        cancer in 2006;
Whereas triple-negative breast cancer disproportionately affects young women, 
        Black and Hispanic women, and those with BRCA gene mutations;
Whereas triple-negative breast cancers are estrogen receptor-negative, 
        progesterone receptor-negative, and HER2-negative, making them distinct 
        from other breast cancers;
Whereas there is no targeted therapy for triple-negative breast cancers;
Whereas 10 to 20 percent of all breast cancer diagnoses are designated as 
        triple-negative;
Whereas triple-negative breast cancer can be more aggressive and more likely to 
        spread and recur;
Whereas triple-negative breast cancer accounts for around 25 percent of all 
        deaths from breast cancer in the United States; and
Whereas March 3, 2019, would be an appropriate date to designate as National 
        Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Day: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives supports the 
designation of National Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Day to create 
awareness of the devastating effect of these cancers on American 
families and the need for strong action to eradicate triple-negative 
breast cancer.

                               RESOLUTION


 
           Raising a question of the privileges of the House.

Whereas, on December 20, 2019, Speaker Pelosi extended an invitation for 
        President Trump to address a joint session of Congress on February 4, 
        2020;
Whereas, on February 4, 2020, President Trump delivered his State of the Union 
        address, in which he honored the sacrifice of the following American 
        heroes and their families:

    General Charles McGee, one of the last surviving Tuskegee Airmen, who 
served in World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War;

    Kayla Mueller, a humanitarian aid worker who was caring for suffering 
civilians in Syria when she was kidnapped, tortured and enslaved by ISIS 
for over 500 days before being murdered by ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-
Baghdadi;

    Army Staff Sergeant Christopher Hake, who was killed while serving his 
second tour of duty in Iraq by a roadside bomb supplied by Iranian 
terrorist leader Qasem Soleimani; and

    Sergeant First Class Townsend Williams, who is currently serving his 
fourth deployment in the Middle East and his wife Amy, who works full time 
for the Army and devotes hundreds of hours helping military families;

Whereas immediately following the address, while still presiding over the joint 
        session, Speaker Pelosi ripped up an official copy of the President's 
        remarks, which contained the names and stories of these patriots who 
        sacrificed so much for our country; and
Whereas the conduct of Speaker Pelosi was a breach of decorum and degraded the 
        proceedings of the joint session, to the discredit of the House: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives disapproves of the 
behavior of Speaker Pelosi during the joint session of Congress held on 
February 4, 2020.

Remembering kindness in the United States and affirming our commitment 
 to fostering community and building resiliency through every day acts 
                              of kindness.

Whereas kindness means doing something for someone else with no expectation of 
        anything in return;
Whereas kindness can change a family, a neighborhood, a school, a city, a 
        nation, and ultimately, our world;
Whereas residents within the United States have a long history of demonstrating 
        kindness daily in their homes, schools, places of faith, businesses, 
        community organizations, and throughout their neighborhoods;
Whereas kindness has the power to connect people and to build community and is 
        the mortar that connects and builds our Nation's social infrastructure;
Whereas the culture of kindness and compassion can heal the country from within 
        and promote a healthier society;
Whereas studies have shown that kindness can improve several aspects of health, 
        mindfulness, self-compassion, compassion toward others, and 
        interpersonal conflict; and
Whereas kindness can foster strong bonds that will bring individuals together 
        despite their differences in order to tackle the challenges that face 
        our Nation in a nonpartisan manner: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Representatives that 
the United States shall recognize kind actions in this country, 
encourage kindness, spread love, and foster a culture of being kind to 
one another.

 Expressing support for the designation of April 9, 2019, as National 
                           Yellow Ribbon Day.

Whereas yellow is the official color of the active combat arms branch of the 
        United States Army;
Whereas the yellow ribbon symbol was first used in the United States to mark 
        national unity and remembrance for the 52 Americans held hostage in Iran 
        for 444 days, beginning on November 4, 1979;
Whereas, during the Persian Gulf war, Americans again used the yellow ribbon to 
        promote solidarity for United States troops;
Whereas, in 2006, the New York State Assembly and Senate unanimously proclaimed 
        April 9 to be New York State Yellow Ribbon Day;
Whereas April 9, 2004, was the day Staff Sgt. Keith Matthew Maupin of Batavia, 
        Ohio, was captured in Iraq, making him the Iraq war's first POW/MIA;
Whereas yellow ribbons worn on lapels or clothing traditionally represent the 
        message of ``support our troops''; and
Whereas National Yellow Ribbon Day is a day for all Americans to celebrate our 
        current active duty troops: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives supports the 
designation of National Yellow Ribbon Day.

                               RESOLUTION


 
Congratulating the American Farm Bureau Federation for a long tradition 
of advocacy on behalf of agriculture and rural America and for holding 
                      its 100th annual convention.

Whereas the American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF) grew out of the Extension 
        education movement at land grant colleges in the early 20th century, and 
        the organization's first formal national convention was held in Chicago 
        in 1919;
Whereas AFBF has been a vocal and reliable advocate for farmers, ranchers, and 
        rural Americans throughout the intervening 100 years;
Whereas the sentiments of the first national president of the AFBF, James Howard 
        of Iowa, ring as true today as a century ago, when he stated ``what's 
        good for farmers is good for America'';
Whereas AFBF represents farm and ranch families in all 50 States and Puerto 
        Rico, with 2,800 county Farm Bureaus and six million member-families;
Whereas Farm Bureau members are gathering this week in New Orleans, Louisiana, 
        at the 100th Annual AFBF Convention and IDEAg Trade Show to conduct 
        organizational business, participate in educational workshops, explore 
        local agriculture, and develop leadership skills through competitions; 
        and
Whereas the work of the AFBF is guided by a network of State organizations and 
        is led by President Vincent ``Zippy'' Duvall of Georgia: Now, therefore, 
        be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives congratulates the 
American Farm Bureau Federation for a long tradition of advocacy on 
behalf of agriculture and rural America and for holding its 100th 
annual convention.

 Expressing support for designation of the week of September 13, 2020, 
       through September 20, 2020, as ``Balance Awareness Week''.

Whereas vestibular (inner-ear-balance) disorders are underdiagnosed and 
        undertreated;
Whereas as many as 35 percent of adults 40 years of age and older in the United 
        States, approximately 69,000,000 people in the United States, have 
        experienced some form of vestibular dysfunction;
Whereas 80 percent of people 65 years of age and older have experienced 
        dizziness;
Whereas vestibular disorder patients may consult four or more physicians and 
        spend 50 months or more in their search for a diagnosis;
Whereas the Vestibular Disorders Association celebrates ``Balance Awareness 
        Week'' to reduce the time it takes to diagnose a vestibular disorder by 
        helping patients recognize their symptoms and encouraging them to seek 
        help from a qualified vestibular specialist; and
Whereas the week of September 13, 2020, through September 20, 2020, would be an 
        appropriate week to designate as ``Balance Awareness Week'': Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) supports the designation of ``Balance Awareness Week''; 
        and
            (2) recognizes the importance of raising public awareness 
        about vestibular disorders.

                               RESOLUTION


 
 Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the United 
  States Trade Representative should promptly resume negotiations to 
              conclude the Environmental Goods Agreement.

Whereas climate change is one of the most serious threats we face today;
Whereas transitioning towards a low-emissions economy must be a priority for all 
        countries;
Whereas, on July 8, 2014, the United States and other member countries of the 
        World Trade Organization, accounting for nearly 90 percent of global 
        exports in environmental goods, began negotiations on the Environmental 
        Goods Agreement;
Whereas the Environmental Goods Agreement would eliminate tariffs on a broad 
        range of environmental goods including wind turbines, water treatment 
        filters, solar water heaters, and bicycles;
Whereas the United States is a leader in the development of environmental goods, 
        but such goods can face tariffs as high as 50 percent when exported to 
        other countries; and
Whereas the negotiations represent a significant opportunity to help countries 
        across the world access high-quality affordable environmental goods 
        while also leveling the playing field for American manufacturers and 
        supporting green jobs: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Representatives that 
not later than 90 days after the date of the adoption of this 
Resolution, the United States Trade Representative should resume 
negotiations to conclude the Environmental Goods Agreement.

                               RESOLUTION


 
  Expressing support for the designation of September 2020 as ``Peace 
    Month'' and calling on Congress to take action to promote peace.

Whereas the United Nations designated September 21 ``International Day of 
        Peace''--otherwise known as Peace Day;
Whereas the United Nations General Assembly declared Peace Day as a day devoted 
        to ``commemorating and strengthening the ideals of peace, both within 
        and among all nations and peoples'';
Whereas all United Nations member states, organizations, regional and 
        nongovernmental organizations, and individuals are encouraged to 
        celebrate and recognize global peace efforts on Peace Day;
Whereas Peace Day represents shared hopes of an end to conflict in all forms;
Whereas the United Nations calls for a 24-hour global cease fire on Peace Day;
Whereas this year's Peace Day theme is ``Shaping Peace Together'';
Whereas 2018 marked the 70th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human 
        Rights, a milestone development in contemporary human history promoting 
        peace and well-being worldwide;
Whereas violent conflicts could cost upwards of $13.6 trillion per year 
        globally;
Whereas conflict prevention measures could save between $5 billion to $70 
        billion per year on average;
Whereas there is almost no interstate war;
Whereas the absolute number of war deaths has been declining since 1945;
Whereas global peace promotion efforts improve the lives of Americans and all 
        peoples;
Whereas the United States has a long history of promoting peace and human rights 
        at home and abroad; and
Whereas September would be an appropriate month to designate as Peace Month: 
        Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) supports the designation of ``Peace Month''; and
            (2) calls on Congress to promote peace, both at home and 
        abroad.
