Whereas the challenge of climate change requires a global effort;
Whereas the international community must work to both reduce greenhouse gas

Whereas the United States plays an indispensable role in global leadership;
Whereas the Paris Agreement sets goals that are not only achievable but 
        necessary in order to move towards a pathway to limit temperature rise 
        to below 2 degrees Celsius; and
Whereas the United States is stronger when joining with global efforts to 
        address climate change: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That Congress reaffirms its commitment to the Paris Agreement and that 
the United States is still in and should not withdraw.

        what is now the NASA John H. Glenn Research Center.
            (3) Becoming the first human to land a spacecraft, and then 
        set foot upon, the moon, represents the greatest dream of any 
        test pilot.
            (4) Therefore, it is fitting that the premier aeronautics 
        and space test station in Ohio should be renamed in his honor.

Research Center at the Neil A. Armstrong Test Facility.

            ``(3) ensure that the referral process protects the
