  Expressing support for the goals of Stomach Cancer Awareness Month.

Whereas stomach cancer, also known as gastric cancer, is one of the most

Whereas the estimated 5-year survival rate for stomach cancer is only 32 
        percent;
Whereas, in the United States, stomach cancer is more prevalent among racial and

Whereas cowboy traditions have been a part of American culture for generations;
Whereas the cowboy continues to be an important part of the economy through the 
        work of many thousands of ranchers across the United States who 
        contribute to the economic well-being of every State;
Whereas millions of fans watch professional and working ranch rodeo events 
        annually, making rodeo one of the most-watched sports in the United 
        States;
Whereas membership and participation in rodeo and other organizations that 
        promote and encompass the livelihood of cowboys span every generation 
        and transcend race and gender;
Whereas the cowboy is a central figure in literature, film, and music and 
        occupies a central place in the public imagination;
Whereas the cowboy is an American icon; and
Whereas the ongoing contributions made by cowboys and cowgirls to their 
        communities should be recognized and encouraged: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) designates July 27, 2019, as ``National Day of the 
        American Cowboy''; and
            (2) encourages the people of the United States to observe 
        the day with appropriate ceremonies and activities.

                             July 28, 2020

 Mrs. Fischer (for herself and Ms. Duckworth) submitted the following 
    resolution; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary

_______________________________________________________________________

                               RESOLUTION


 
       Designating September 2020 as ``School Bus Safety Month''.

Whereas, in an average year, on every school day in the United States, 
        approximately 500,000 public and private school buses carry more than 
        26,000,000 K-12 students to and from school;
Whereas school buses comprise the largest mass transportation fleet in the 
        United States;
Whereas, in an average year, 48 percent of all K-12 students ride a school bus 
        for each of the 180 school days in a year, and school bus operators 
        drive school buses a total of nearly 4,680,000,000 miles;
Whereas the Child Safety Network (referred to in this preamble as the ``CSN''), 
        which is celebrating 31 years of public service in the United States, 
        supports the CSN Safe Bus campaign, which is designed to provide the 
        school bus industry with driver training, the latest technology, and 
        free safety and security resources;
Whereas the designation of School Bus Safety Month will allow broadcast and 
        digital media and social networking industries to commit to 
        disseminating public service announcements that are produced to--

    (1) provide free resources designed to safeguard children;

    (2) recognize school bus operators and professionals; and

    (3) encourage the driving public to engage in safer driving behavior 
near school buses when students board and disembark from school buses;

Whereas key leaders who deserve recognition during School Bus Safety Month and 
        beyond have--

    (1) provided security awareness training materials to more than 14,000 
public and private school districts;

    (2) trained more than 116,800 school bus operators; and

    (3) provided more than 163,120 counterterrorism guides to individuals 
who are key to providing both safety and security for children in the 
United States; and

Whereas School Bus Safety Month offers the Senate and the people of the United 
        States an opportunity to recognize and thank the school bus operators 
        and the professionals focused on school bus safety and security in the 
        United States: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate designates September 2020 as ``School Bus 
Safety Month''.

 Expressing the sense of the Senate that the Federal Government should 
                        not bail out any State.

Whereas every State in the United States is a sovereign entity with a 
        constitution and the authority to issue sovereign debt;
Whereas the legislature of every State in the United States has the authority to 
        reduce spending or raise taxes to pay the obligations owed by the State;
Whereas officials in every State in the United States have the legal obligation 
        to fully disclose the financial condition of the State to investors who 
        purchase the debt of the State;
Whereas Congress has rejected prior requests from creditors of a State for 
        payment of the defaulted debt of a State; and
Whereas, during the financial crisis in 1842, the Senate requested that the 
        Secretary of the Treasury report to the Senate with respect to any 
        negotiations with any creditor of a State relating to assuming or 
        guaranteeing any debt of the State, to ensure that promises of support 
        by the Federal Government were not proffered: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That it is the sense of the Senate that--
            (1) the Federal Government should take no action to redeem, 
        assume, or guarantee any debt, including pension obligations, 
        of a State; and
            (2) the Secretary of the Treasury should report to Congress

Expressing support for the designation of May 1, 2020, as ``Silver Star 
                         Service Banner Day''.

Whereas the Senate has always honored the sacrifices made by the wounded and ill 
        members of the Armed Forces;
Whereas the Silver Star Service Banner has come to represent the members of the 
        Armed Forces and veterans who were wounded or became ill in combat in 
        the wars fought by the United States;
Whereas the Silver Star Families of America was formed to help the people of the 
        United States remember the sacrifices made by the wounded and ill 
        members of the Armed Forces by designing and manufacturing Silver Star 
        Service Banners and Silver Star Flags for that purpose;
Whereas the sole mission of the Silver Star Families of America is to evoke 
        memories of the sacrifices made by members of the Armed Forces and 
        veterans on behalf of the United States through the presence of a Silver 
        Star Service Banner in a window or a Silver Star Flag flying;
Whereas the sacrifices made by members of the Armed Forces and veterans on 
        behalf of the United States should never be forgotten; and
Whereas May 1, 2020, is an appropriate date to designate as ``Silver Star 
        Service Banner Day'': Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) supports the designation of May 1, 2020, as ``Silver 
        Star Service Banner Day''; and
            (2) calls upon the people of the United States to observe 
        Silver Star Service Banner Day with appropriate programs, 
        ceremonies, and activities.
