  Designating September 2021 as ``National Childhood Cancer Awareness 
                                Month''.

Whereas each year more than 15,500 children under the age of 19 in the United 
        States are diagnosed with cancer;
Whereas every year more than 1,700 children in the United States lose their 
        lives to cancer;
Whereas childhood cancer is the leading cause of death from disease and the 
        second overall leading cause of death for children in the United States;
Whereas the 5-year survival rate for children with cancer has increased from 58 
        percent in the mid-1970s to 84 percent in 2020, representing significant 
        improvement from previous decades;
Whereas more than \2/3\ of children who survive cancer will develop at least 1 
        chronic health condition, and many survivors will face a late-effect 
        from treatment that could be considered severe or life-threatening;
Whereas cancer patients face a higher risk of contracting the Coronavirus 
        Disease 2019 (COVID-19) due to weakened immune systems; and
Whereas cancer occurs regularly and randomly and spares no racial or ethnic 
        group, socioeconomic class, or geographic region: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) designates September 2021 as ``National Childhood 
        Cancer Awareness Month'';
            (2) requests that the Federal Government, States, 
        localities, and nonprofit organizations observe the month with 
        appropriate programs and activities, with the goal of 
        increasing public knowledge of the risks of cancer;
            (3) encourages survivors of childhood cancer to continue to 
        receive ongoing monitoring and physical and psychosocial care 
        throughout their adult lives;
            (4) recognizes the human toll of cancer and pledges to make 
        the prevention and cure of cancer a public health priority; and
            (5) reminds the people of the United States that these 
        children are the definition of bravery, and commends and honors 
        their courage.

Whereas principals are educational visionaries, instructional and assessment 
        leaders, disciplinarians, community builders, budget analysts, 
        facilities managers, and administrators of legal and contractual 
        obligations;
Whereas principals work collaboratively with teachers and parents to develop and 
        implement clear missions, high curriculum standards, and performance 
        goals;
Whereas principals create school environments that facilitate great teaching and 
        learning and continuous school improvement;
Whereas principals demonstrated leadership and played important roles in meeting 
        the needs of students, families, and communities during the Coronavirus

Whereas the vision, actions, and dedication of principals provide the mobilizing 
        force behind any school improvement effort; and
Whereas the celebration of National Principals Month would honor elementary 
        school, middle school, and high school principals and recognize the 
        importance of principals in ensuring that every child has access to a

 Supporting the recognition and goals of Overdose Awareness Day in the 
                             United States.

Whereas more than 750,000 individuals in the United States have died from a drug 
        overdose since 1999;
Whereas substance use disorders and drug overdoses affect all socioeconomic 
        groups, racial and ethnic groups, geographic regions, and ages;
Whereas substance use disorders are a chronic disease, and recognizing those 
        disorders as such decreases stigma and acknowledges that substance use 
        may be beyond the control of an individual;
Whereas overdose deaths are preventable, and lives can be saved through 
        awareness, prevention, intervention, treatment, and recovery support;
Whereas overdose deaths claimed more than 93,000 lives in the United States in 
        2020, and the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has 
        contributed to the acceleration of overdose deaths;
Whereas communities across the United States have been pained by substance use 
        disorders through the premature loss of lives and the stigma associated 
        with drug-related fatalities; and
Whereas numerous States across the United States have lowered their State flags 
        in recognition of Overdose Awareness Day: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) supports the recognition and goals of Overdose 
        Awareness Day in the United States; and
            (2) encourages all Federal buildings in the United States 
        to lower their flags to half-staff on August 31 of each year to 
        support awareness of overdoses.

  Memorializing the unborn by lowering the United States flag to half-
              staff on the 22nd day of January each year.

Whereas, on January 22, 1973, the majority of the members of the Supreme Court 
        of the United States ruled that abortion was a right secured by the 
        Constitution; and
Whereas, since that fateful day, over 60,000,000 unborn children have perished: 
        Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) supports the recognition of the Day of Tears in the 
        United States on the 22nd day of January each year; and
            (2) encourages the people of the United States to lower 
        their flags to half-staff to mourn and honor the innocents who 
        have lost their lives to abortion.
