Whereas more than 42,000 individuals with spinal cord injuries are veterans;
Whereas motor vehicle accidents are the leading cause of spinal cord injuries;
Whereas nearly half of all spinal cord injuries to individuals 30 years of age

Whereas the average remaining years of life for individuals living with spinal

Whereas there is an urgent need to develop new neuroprotection, pharmacological, 
        and regeneration treatments to reduce, prevent, and reverse paralysis; 
        and
Whereas increased education and investment in research are key factors in 
        improving outcomes for individuals living with spinal cord injuries, 
        enhancing the quality of life of individuals with spinal cord injuries, 
        and ultimately curing paralysis: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) designates September 2022, as ``National Spinal Cord 
        Injury Awareness Month'';
            (2) supports the goals and ideals of National Spinal Cord

                               RESOLUTION

Whereas school buses comprise the largest mass transportation fleet in the

Whereas the Child Safety Network (referred to in this preamble as the ``CSN''),

        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 schools;

    (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 2021 as ``School Bus 
Safety Month''.

Whereas, globally, the most commonly used and widely accepted definition of

                               RESOLUTION


 
Expressing support for the designation of April 10, 2022, as ``Venture 
                          Smith Freedom Day''.

Whereas, in about 1729, Venture Smith was born free in West Africa and, in 1739, 
        was seized from his home and enslaved in New England;
Whereas 257 years ago, in the year 1765, Venture Smith, at the age of 36, 
        purchased his freedom;
Whereas Venture Smith went on to free his family from the bondage of slavery;
Whereas Venture Smith became a successful landowner, businessman, and author in 
        the United States, generations before Black Americans began to obtain 
        constitutional, legal, social, and economic rights;
Whereas, in November 1798, Venture Smith was the first African American to write 
        and publish his own autobiography;
Whereas Venture Smith was the first person to write and publish the phrase, ``My 
        freedom is a privilege which nothing else can equal'';
Whereas Venture Smith died a free man on September 19, 1805, in Connecticut; and
Whereas April 10 would be an appropriate date to designate as ``Venture Smith 
        Freedom Day'': Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate supports the designation of ``Venture 
Smith Freedom Day'' on April 10, which would recognize the 257th 
anniversary of Venture Smith purchasing his freedom and going on to 
become a landowner, businessman, and author in Connecticut.

Designating May 5, 2021, as the ``National Day of Awareness for Missing 
                 and Murdered Native Women and Girls''.

Whereas, according to a study commissioned by the Department of Justice, in some 
        Tribal communities, American Indian women face murder rates that are 
        more than 10 times the national average murder rate;
Whereas, according to the most recently available data from the Centers for 
        Disease Control and Prevention, in 2017, homicide was the sixth leading 
        cause of death for American Indian and Alaska Native females between 1 
        and 44 years of age;
Whereas little data exist on the number of missing American Indian, Alaska 
        Native, and Native Hawaiian 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, 2021, as the ``National Day of 
        Awareness for Missing and Murdered Native Women and Girls''; 
        and
            (2) calls on the people of the United States and interested 
        groups--
                    (A) to commemorate the lives of missing and 
                murdered American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native 
                Hawaiian women whose cases are documented and 
                undocumented in public records and the media; and
                    (B) to demonstrate solidarity with the families of 
                victims in light of those tragedies.

   Expressing support for the designation of July 2022 as ``National 
                       Sarcoma Awareness Month''.

Whereas sarcoma is a rare cancer of the bones or connective tissues, such as

Whereas, each year, about 1 percent of cancers diagnosed in adults and around 20 
        percent of cancers diagnosed in children are sarcoma;
Whereas more than 70 subtypes of sarcoma have been identified;
Whereas the potential causes of sarcoma are not well understood;
Whereas treatment for sarcoma can include surgery, radiation therapy, or 
        chemotherapy;
Whereas sarcoma is often misdiagnosed and underreported; and
Whereas July 2022 would be an appropriate month to designate as National Sarcoma 
        Awareness Month--

    (1) to raise awareness about sarcoma; and

    (2) to encourage more individuals in the United States to get properly 
diagnosed and treated: Now, therefore, be it

    Resolved, That the Senate supports the designation of July 2022 as 
``National Sarcoma Awareness Month''.

        Northeastern United States;
Whereas the production of maple syrup in Maine has a seasonal window between 
        January and May, which is when temperatures drop below freezing at night 
        and rise above freezing during the day;
Whereas Maine accounts for 17 percent of United States production of maple syrup 
        and is the third largest producer among the States;
Whereas Maine maple syrup producers make more than 575,000 gallons of syrup 
        annually, generating more than $27,000,000 for the Maine economy;
Whereas maple syrup production in Maine supports more than 560 full-time and

Whereas Maine Maple Sunday is always observed the fourth Sunday in March; and
Whereas on March 27,2022, Maine maple syrup producers will host the 39th annual 
        Maine Maple Sunday: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) designates March 27, 2022, as ``Maine Maple Sunday'';

                               RESOLUTION


 
       Designating April 2021 as ``National Native Plant Month''.

Whereas native plants are indigenous species that have evolved and occur 
        naturally in a particular region, ecosystem, and habitat;
Whereas there are more than 17,000 native plant species in the United States, 
        which include trees, shrubs, vines, grasses, and wildflowers;
Whereas native plants help prevent flooding, drought, and erosion and can help 
        restore damaged ecosystems;
Whereas native plants provide shelter as well as nectar, pollen, and seeds that 
        serve as food for native butterflies, insects, birds, and other wildlife 
        in ways that non-native plants cannot;
Whereas more than 200 of the native plant species in the United States are 
        estimated to have been lost since the early 19th century;
Whereas habitat loss and degradation, extreme weather events, and invasive 
        species have contributed to the decline of native plants in the United 
        States; and
Whereas native plants are essential components of resilient ecosystems and our 
        natural heritage: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) designates April 2021 as ``National Native Plant 
        Month''; and
            (2) recognizes the benefits of native plants to the 
        environment and economy of the United States.
