Whereas little data exist on the number of missing American Indian and Alaska 
        Native women in the United States;
Whereas, on July 5, 2013, Hanna Harris, a member of the Northern Cheyenne Tribe, 
        was reported missing by her family in Lame Deer, Montana;
Whereas the body of Hanna Harris was found 5 days after she went missing;
Whereas Hanna Harris was determined to have been raped and murdered, and the 
        individuals accused of committing those crimes were convicted;
Whereas the case of Hanna Harris is an example of many similar cases; and
Whereas Hanna Harris was born on May 5, 1992: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) designates May 5, 2019, as the ``National Day of 
        Awareness for Missing and Murdered Native Women and Girls''; 
        and

                cases are documented and undocumented in public records 
                and the media; and

Whereas the Argonauts returned to the national championship game in 2019 for the

Recognizing the 71st anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human 
          Rights and the celebration of ``Human Rights Day''.

Whereas the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted by the United Nations 
        on December 10, 1948, represents the first comprehensive agreement among 
        countries as to the specific rights and freedoms of all human beings;
Whereas the Universal Declaration of Human Rights upholds the basic principles

Whereas awareness of human rights--

    (1) is essential to the realization of fundamental freedoms;

    (2) promotes equality;

    (3) contributes to preventing conflict and human rights violations; and

    (4) enhances participation in democratic processes;

Whereas Congress has a proud history of promoting human rights that are

_______________________________________________________________________

                               RESOLUTION


 
  Designating March 25, 2020, as ``National Cerebral Palsy Awareness 
                                 Day''.

Whereas cerebral palsy is a group of permanent disorders that impact movement 
        and posture and is attributed to nonprogressive disturbances that occur 
        in the developing brain;
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 the 
        condition, but it may be undetected for months or years;
Whereas 75 percent of individuals with cerebral palsy also have 1 or more 
        developmental disabilities, including epilepsy, an intellectual 
        disability, autism, a visual impairment, or blindness;
Whereas, according to information published 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 1,000,000 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 the condition;
Whereas scientists and researchers are hopeful for breakthroughs in cerebral 
        palsy research;
Whereas researchers across the United States conduct important studies involving 
        cerebral palsy; and
Whereas the Senate can raise awareness of cerebral palsy for the public and 
        within the medical community: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) designates March 25, 2020, 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.

transfer of power called for in the Constitution of the United States, 
                        and for other purposes.

Whereas the United States is founded on the principle that our Government 
        derives its power from the consent of the governed and that the people 
        have the right to change their elected leaders through elections;
Whereas our domestic tranquility, national security, general welfare, and civil 
        liberties depend upon the peaceful and orderly transfer of power; and
Whereas any disruption occasioned by the transfer of the executive power could 
        produce results detrimental to the safety and well-being of the United 
        States and its people: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) reaffirms its commitment to the orderly and peaceful 
        transfer of power called for in the Constitution of the United 
        States; and

Expressing support for the designation of March 2, 2019, as ``Gold Star

Whereas March 2, 2019, marks the 90th anniversary of President Calvin Coolidge 
        signing an Act of Congress that approved and funded the first Gold Star 
        pilgrimage to enable Gold Star mothers and widows to travel to the
