   To direct the United States Postal Service to designate a single,

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. ZIP CODE FOR FAIRLAWN, VIRGINIA.

    (a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) the Commonwealth of Virginia is the only State in the 
        United States where all cities are independent from their 
        surrounding counties;
            (2) these independent cities are not politically a part of 
        the surrounding counties, even if they are located within their 
        borders;
            (3) in Virginia these independent cities are subject to 
        separate revenue collection and distribution practices related 
        to roads, resources, and sales tax than neighboring counties;
            (4) the sales tax collected from electronic commerce from 
        the unincorporated community of Fairlawn, Virginia, located in 
        Pulaski County, is often misallocated to the independent city 
        of Radford, Virginia, because they share the same ZIP codes; 
        and
            (5) Fairlawn, Virginia, should be eligible to obtain a 
        separate and unique ZIP code from the neighboring independent 
        city of Radford, Virginia, for tax purposes.
    (b) ZIP Code Designation.--Not later than 180 days after the date 
of the enactment of this Act, the United States Postal Service shall 
designate a single, unique ZIP Code applicable to Fairlawn, Virginia.

Title: To provide that the Secretary of Education may not issue or enforce certain rules that weaken the enforcement of the prohibition of sex discrimination applicable under title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972.
Policy area: Education

Summary:
This bill prevents the Department of Education from finalizing its 2018 proposed rule that proposes to modify the prohibition of sex discrimination under title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972.
Currently, title IX prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in federally funded education programs or activities. Among other things, the proposed rule defines the conduct that constitutes sexual harassment and outlines the conditions that trigger a school's obligation to respond to allegations of sexual harassment.

        studies on food insecurity among college students, the 
        Government Accountability Office found that 22 of the 31

            (2) Hunger threatens a student's health, cognitive ability, 
        and economic security.
            (3) Institutions of higher education should strive to 
        collect edible, surplus food from campus-operated dining 
        facilities that would be thrown away and distribute such food 
        to students experiencing hunger.
            (4) Institutions of higher education should partner with 
        local organizations such as regional food banks to reduce 
        hunger and support operation of food pantries on campus.

SEC. 3. ASSISTANCE FOR COMMUNITY FOOD PROJECTS.

    Section 25 of the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 (7 U.S.C. 2034) is 
amended--
            (1) in subsection (a), by adding at the end the following
