 Recognizing the critical importance of military aviation training in 
    the State of Colorado, including training conducted at the High-
          Altitude Army National Guard Aviation Training Site.

Whereas military aviation training in the State of Colorado is mission critical 
        to the national security interests of the United States by ensuring the 
        readiness of the Armed Forces; and
Whereas the High-Altitude Army National Guard Aviation Training Site is the lone 
        school of the Department of Defense where rotary-wing aviators in the 
        Armed Forces and the militaries of foreign allies learn how to safely 
        fly rotary-wing aircraft in mountainous, high-altitude environments: 
        Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) recognizes the critical importance of military aviation 
        training in the State of Colorado, including training conducted 
        at the High-Altitude Army National Aviation Training Site, to 
        the national security interests of the United States and the 
        readiness of the Armed Forces; and
            (2) directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to 
        transmit copies of this resolution to the President, the 
        Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of the Army, the Chief of 
        Staff of the Army, the Chief of the National Guard Bureau, the 
        Governor of the State of Colorado, the Speaker of the Colorado 
        House of Representatives, the President of the Colorado Senate, 
        and the Adjutant General of Colorado.

 Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the symbols 
 and traditions of Christmas should be protected for use by those who 
                          celebrate Christmas.

Whereas Christmas is a national holiday celebrated on December 25; and
Whereas the Framers intended that the First Amendment to the Constitution, in 
        prohibiting the establishment of religion, would not prohibit any 
        mention of religion or reference to God in civic dialogue: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) recognizes the importance of the symbols and traditions 
        of Christmas;
            (2) strongly disapproves of attempts to ban references to 
        Christmas; and
            (3) expresses support for the use of these symbols and 
        traditions by those who celebrate Christmas.

        became the first woman to serve in a State Senate;
Whereas Dr. Cannon was sworn in to the Utah State Senate on January 11, 1897;
Whereas because of her leadership, thousands of women have served in State 
        legislatures, including over 500 women who followed in her footsteps and 
        served as State Senators in 2019; and
Whereas Dr. Cannon was a pioneer for women in government and helped pave the 
        path for the many women who serve today: Now, therefore, be it

            (1) supports the designation of National Martha Hughes 
        Cannon Day;
            (2) recognizes the value that women bring to good

Strongly condemning the recent acts of violence, riots, and looting in 
                           the United States.

Whereas in the wake of the tragic death of George Floyd on Monday, May 25, 2020, 
        peaceful protests began across the United States focused on justice for 
        African-American victims of police misconduct;
Whereas these peaceful protests are protected by the Constitution of the United 
        States through an individual's First Amendment rights of freedom of 
        speech, peaceful assembly, and petitioning the Government concerning 
        grievances;
Whereas what began as peaceful demonstrations, have been exploited by violent 
        extremists who have carried out acts of violence, looting, destruction 
        of business and personal property, and additional loss of life, 
        including the deliberate targeting of law enforcement officers;
Whereas due to the actions of violent extremists, certain government functions 
        have been temporarily closed, businesses have been forced to be 
        shuttered, and livelihoods have been impacted;
Whereas these acts of violence are considered criminal activity; and
Whereas these actions take our focus as a country away from a safe and civil 
        dialogue on issues of importance to our Nation: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) strongly condemns the violence, riots, and looting in 
        the United States;
            (2) recognizes that violent opportunists use the cover of 
        legitimate protests by their fellow citizens to sow chaos;
            (3) recognizes that the actions of those bent on violence 
        does not diminish the rights of other Americans to peacefully 
        protest;
            (4) urges peace and order to be restored; and
            (5) expresses that those responsible for these violent acts 
        be held criminally responsible for their actions.

     Supporting the goals and ideals of National Rural Health Day.

Whereas 60,000,000 hard-working individuals in the United States live in rural 
        communities;
Whereas rural individuals in the United States are increasingly facing barriers 
        to accessing the health care services they need;
Whereas rural health facilities in the United States have faced systemic 
        challenges, including low reimbursements, physician workforce shortages, 
        and difficulty accessing certain technologies like telehealth;
Whereas these challenges have contributed to 119 rural hospital closures since 
        2010;
Whereas these challenges have made it more difficult for all rural health care 
        facilities to keep their doors open and serve patients;
Whereas National Rural Health Day was established to emphasize the importance of 
        rural areas of the United States and recognize the efforts and 
        contributions to address the unique challenges in rural health care;
Whereas the National Organization of State Offices of Rural Health has 
        recognized National Rural Health Day the third Thursday of each November 
        since 2010; and
Whereas National Rural Health Day will be celebrated this year on November 21, 
        2019: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) supports the goals and ideals of National Rural Health 
        Day;
            (2) celebrates rural health care providers and the millions 
        of individuals in the United States they serve; and
            (3) expresses commitment to advancing policy to improve 
        health care accessibility and affordability in rural areas of 
        the United States.

Whereas the Office of the Legislative Counsel of the House of Representatives

        1919 (40 Stat. 1057, 1141; commonly known as the Revenue Act of 1918);
Whereas the Office has grown from serving primarily the Committee on Ways and 
        Means in 1919 to serving all Committees and Members of the House, 
        drafting legislation in all areas of Federal law;
Whereas the Office provides the House with high-quality legal analysis and 
        drafting services on a nonpartisan, impartial, and confidential basis;
Whereas the Office is essential to the House in the achievement of a clear, 
        faithful, and coherent expression of legislative policies; and
Whereas most attorneys in the Office spend a career in service of the House with 
        many staying for decades and providing a valuable source of continuity 
        of institutional knowledge: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives expresses sincere 
gratitude to--
            (1) the Office of the Legislative Counsel for 100 years of 
        service; and

                               RESOLUTION


 
  Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives regarding the 
   importance of local print and digital journalism to the continued 
welfare, transparency, and prosperity of government at every level and 
the continuation and freedom of the United States as it is known today.

Whereas local print and digital journalism is disappearing at a record rate;
Whereas trust in journalists is at an all-time low nationally, while many local 
        reporters retain the good will and trust of their communities;
Whereas subscriptions to local news have decreased steadily since the spread of 
        the internet;
Whereas nonjournalistic digital media has been falsely labeled and marketed as 
        news;
Whereas corporations are buying local news outlets and cutting budgets and 
        staff, leading to less local coverage;
Whereas local print and digital journalism are essential to promoting good 
        governance at the local and State level; and
Whereas a lack of local news will allow for greater local and statewide 
        political corruption: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Representatives 
that--
            (1) it is in the best interests of Federal, State, and 
        local governments to make all possible efforts to ensure the 
        continuation of robust local digital and print news sources; 
        and
            (2) Congress should work with news outlets and other 
        relevant stakeholders to ensure that local digital and print 
        news continues to operate in a robust manner for years to come.

Urging the people of the United States to observe the month of October 
          2020 as Italian and Italian-American Heritage Month.

Whereas Italian and Italian-American Heritage Month is an appropriate time to

        people have made to this country and the world throughout our history, 
        including generals, admirals, doctors, philosophers, statesmen,

        Italian and Italian-American community and to exhibit appreciation for 
        their culture and their heritage that have immeasurably enriched the 
        lives of the people of this Nation and the world;
Whereas the strength and success of the United States, the vitality of our 
        communities, and the effectiveness of our American society depend, in 
        great measure, upon the distinctive and sterling qualities demonstrated 
        by people of diverse races, heritages, and ethnicities, exemplified by 
        members of the Italian and Italian-American community, who share with us 
        their rich and unique heritage; and
Whereas it is fitting and proper that October 2020 be observed as Italian and 
        Italian-American Heritage Month throughout the United States: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved, That in order to recognize the enormous contributions 
Italian and Italian-American people have made to this country and the 
world throughout our history, the House of Representatives urges the 
people of the United States to acknowledge Italian and Italian-American 
Heritage Month and to observe the month with appropriate events and

                               RESOLUTION


 
    Supporting the goals and ideals of the International Day of Non-
                               Violence.

Whereas the United Nations General Assembly established the International Day of 
        Non-Violence on June 15, 2007, to disseminate the message of non-
        violence, through means such as education and public awareness;
Whereas, the United Nations General Assembly has stated that ``non-violence, 
        tolerance, full respect for all human rights and fundamental freedoms 
        for all, democracy, development, mutual understanding and respect for 
        diversity are interlinked and mutually reinforcing'';
Whereas the annual International Day of Non-Violence celebration date, October 
        2, was chosen to commemorate the birthday of Mohandas K. Gandhi, more 
        commonly known as ``Mahatma'', which means ``great soul'';
Whereas Mahatma Gandhi was a world-renowned civil rights and spiritual leader, 
        who experienced injustices early in life, and learned to embrace the 
        principles of non-violence as a vehicle for social and political change;
Whereas Mahatma Gandhi was influenced by religious teachings in Hinduism, 
        Jainism, and Christianity in the development of his philosophy;
Whereas Mahatma Gandhi was a major influence for Martin Luther King, Jr., whose 
        emphasis on non-violence is credited with ushering in our Nation's civil 
        rights; and
Whereas people around the world commemorate the International Day of Non-
        Violence by participating in volunteer projects as a way to give back to 
        their communities: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) supports the goals and ideals of the International Day 
        of Non-Violence; and
            (2) encourages the people of the United States to observe 
        the International Day of Non-Violence with appropriate 
        ceremonies, programs, and activities.
