     Supporting the goals and ideals of National Rural Health Day.

Whereas about 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 132 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 19, 
        2020: 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.

  support for the designation of April 18, 2019, as National Lineman 
                           Appreciation Day.

Whereas the profession of linemen is steeped in personal, family, and

Whereas linemen are often first responders during storms and other catastrophic

        growing the energy infrastructure of the United States;
Whereas linemen must often work under dangerous conditions separated from their 
        families to keep schools and businesses open;
Whereas linemen deserve recognition from the community regarding the danger of 
        their work; and
Whereas April 18, 2019, would be an appropriate date to designate as National 
        Lineman Appreciation Day: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) recognizes the efforts of linemen in keeping the power 
        on and protecting public safety;
            (2) supports the designation of National Lineman 
        Appreciation Day; and

                               RESOLUTION


 
         Censuring Representative Bill Pascrell of New Jersey.

Whereas, on November 20, 2020, Representative Bill Pascrell sent a letter to the 
        State Bar of Arizona, the Michigan Attorney Grievance Commission, the 
        Office of the Bar Counsel of Nevada, the State of New York Grievance 
        Committee, and the Disciplinary Board of the Supreme Court of 
        Pennsylvania, to file a complaint against attorneys in each jurisdiction 
        representing the campaign of President Donald J. Trump;
Whereas Representative Bill Pascrell's letters accuse the attorneys of filing 
        ``frivolous lawsuits'' and requests each State agency ``to commence an 
        immediate investigation of their actions and consider sanctions for 
        their conduct up to and including revocation of their licenses to 
        practice law in your jurisdiction.'';
Whereas President Donald J. Trump's campaign has a legal right to sue to ensure 
        that each legal vote is counted and to challenge any illegal votes; and
Whereas each candidate running for public office in each State has the right to 
        pursue every legal option to ensure ballot integrity and fair elections: 
        Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That--
            (1) the House of Representatives censures Representative 
        Bill Pascrell for conduct that threatens the livelihoods of 
        American citizens in a way that is not befitting an elected

        himself in the well of the House for the pronouncement of 
        censure; and
            (3) Representative Bill Pascrell will be censured with the

  Expressing support for designation of May as Stroke Awareness Month.

Whereas stroke, also known as a cerebrovascular accident, is an acute neurologic 
        injury that occurs when the blood supply to a part of the brain is 
        interrupted by a clot in the artery or a burst of the artery;
Whereas stroke is a medical emergency that can cause permanent neurologic damage 
        or even death if not promptly diagnosed and treated;
Whereas in the United States, stroke is now the fifth leading cause of death;
Whereas, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1 person 
        in the United States dies from stroke every 4 minutes;
Whereas every year, approximately 795,000 people in the United States have a 
        stroke;
Whereas the direct (medical) costs of stroke are $17.5 billion annually, and 
        total costs (both medical and lost productivity) are $33.6 billion;
Whereas stroke is a leading cause of serious long-term disability;
Whereas those disabilities may require ongoing physical, occupational, speech-
        language, and other therapy and surgeries;
Whereas the permanent health concerns and treatments resulting from stroke have 
        a considerable impact on children, families, and society; and
Whereas May would be an appropriate month to designate as National Stroke 
        Awareness Month: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) supports the designation of Stroke Awareness Month;
            (2) encourages the people of the United States to support 
        the efforts, programs, services, and advocacy of organizations

Whereas there are currently five permanent members of the United Nations

Whereas the Republic of India is the second most populous country in the world

Whereas India is the world's largest democracy;
Whereas India has the third largest standing army in the world, the largest

        troops to United Nations-mandated peacekeeping missions;
Whereas India has been elected seven times as a non-permanent member of the

       Supporting the designation of a National Day of Civility.

Whereas civility involves being nice or polite to others and treating others 
        with respect;
Whereas civil discourse and dialogue are hallmarks of the American political and 
        social systems, and these hallmarks have been jeopardized in recent 
        years by growing division in and coarsening of our political culture;
Whereas 9 out of 10 Americans agree incivility leads to intimidation, threats, 
        harassment, discrimination, violence, and cyberbullying;
Whereas a majority of Americans believe incivility in our politics encourages 
        general incivility in society and deters citizens from engaging in 
        public service;
Whereas racial and religious minorities, the homeless, people with disabilities, 
        the poor, and law enforcement officers report having experienced the 
        most incivility;
Whereas civility training in schools, a national campaign to promote civility, a 
        conscious public effort to practice civility, and a National Day of 
        Civility may combat the threats posed by increasing incivility and 
        distrust in our institutions; and
Whereas July 12th would be an appropriate day to designate as a National Day of 
        Civility: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) supports the designation of a National Day of Civility;
            (2) encourages a national campaign to promote civility in 
        our schools, at work, and in our public spaces; and
            (3) calls on all Americans to practice civility.

                               RESOLUTION


 
    Expressing support for designation of July as National Sarcoma 
                            Awareness Month.

Whereas sarcoma is a cancer of connective tissues, such as nerves, muscles, 
        joints, fat, bones, and blood vessels, and it can arise anywhere in the 
        body;
Whereas 15,000 people in the United States were diagnosed with sarcoma last 
        year, more than 6,000 died, and 50,000 are struggling with the disease 
        at any one time;
Whereas 1 percent of cancers diagnosed in adults and 20 percent of cancers 
        diagnosed in children each year are sarcoma;
Whereas more than 50 subtypes of sarcoma have been identified;
Whereas the National Cancer Institute recognizes that sarcoma is often 
        misdiagnosed and underreported; and
Whereas July would be an appropriate month to designate as National Sarcoma 
        Awareness Month to raise awareness of the disease and encourage more 
        individuals to get properly diagnosed and treated: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives supports the 
designation of National Sarcoma Awareness Month.

                               RESOLUTION


 
Supporting the designation of March 2020 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 in 2020, more than 147,950 Americans will be diagnosed with colorectal 
        cancer and approximately 53,000 Americans 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 over 50 years of age 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.

                               RESOLUTION


 
    Seeking the return of the USS Pueblo to the United States Navy.

Whereas the USS Pueblo, which was attacked and captured by the navy of North 
        Korea on January 23, 1968, was the first ship of the United States Navy 
        to be hijacked on the high seas by a foreign military force in more than 
        150 years;
Whereas 1 member of the USS Pueblo crew, Petty Officer Duane Hodges, was killed 
        in the assault, while the other 82 crew members were held in captivity, 
        often under inhumane conditions, for 11 months;
Whereas the USS Pueblo, an intelligence collection auxiliary vessel, was 
        operating in international waters at the time of the capture, and 
        therefore did not violate the territorial waters of North Korea;
Whereas the capture of the USS Pueblo resulted in no reprisals against the 
        Government or people of North Korea and no military action at any time; 
        and
Whereas the USS Pueblo, though still the property of the United States Navy, has 
        been retained by the Government of North Korea for more than 50 years, 
        was subjected to exhibition in the North Korean cities of Wonsan and 
        Hungham, and is now on display in Pyongyang, the capital city of North 
        Korea: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) desires the return of the USS Pueblo to the United 
        States Navy;
            (2) would welcome the return of the USS Pueblo as a sign of 
        good faith from the North Korean people to the American people; 
        and
            (3) directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to 
        transmit copies of this resolution to the President, the 
        Secretary of Defense, and the Secretary of State.

 Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that individual 
            choice in health insurance should be protected.

Whereas more than 159 million Americans under the age of 65 are enrolled in 
        private health insurance through their employer;
Whereas more than 14 million Americans under the age of 65 are enrolled in 
        private health insurance that they purchase on their own behalf;
Whereas more than 22 million Americans receive Medicare benefits through a 
        Medicare Advantage plan offered by a private entity;
Whereas private health insurance coverage often provides benefits that are more 
        robust than benefits offered under a Federal or State health program and 
        at cost that is lower than under a Federal or State health program; and
Whereas H.R. 1384 from the 116th Congress and similar bills would make the 
        offering of private health insurance unlawful, snatching away the health 
        insurance millions of Americans have, like, and rely on in favor of 
        government rationing of care: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Representatives that 
it is the duty of the Federal Government to protect and promote 
individual choice in health insurance for the American people and 
prevent any ``Medicare for All'' proposal that would outlaw private 
health plans, such as job-based coverage and Medicare Advantage plans.

   Recognizing and celebrating the 200th anniversary of the entry of

Whereas the United States 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 territory had 
        developed sufficiently to achieve the minimum number of inhabitants 
        required by Congress to qualify for statehood;
Whereas the United States Congress and President James Monroe approved statehood 
        for the Alabama Territory on December 14, 1819, making it the Nation's 
        twenty-second State;
Whereas December 14, 2019, marks the 200th anniversary of the attainment of
