IV 113th CONGRESS 1st Session H. CON. RES. 2 IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES January 3, 2013 Ms. Jackson Lee submitted the following concurrent resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform CONCURRENT RESOLUTION Expressing the sense of Congress that a commemorative postage stamp should be issued in honor of George Thomas Mickey Leland.

Whereas George Thomas Leland (affectionately known as Mickey ), in the course of his 6 terms as a member of the House of Representatives from the State of Texas, emerged as a national spokesman regarding the problem of hunger in the United States and throughout the world; Whereas Mickey Leland was instrumental in establishing the Select Committee on Hunger and served as chairman of that committee until the time of his death; Whereas in the capacity of chairman of the Select Committee on Hunger, Mickey Leland helped generate public awareness of the complex issues relating to the alleviation of hunger and demonstrated strong personal moral leadership; Whereas it was his leadership that guided the Hunger Prevention Act of 1988, which required the Secretary of Agriculture not only to distribute surplus food, but also to purchase additional food for future distributions to needy households; Whereas Mickey Leland brought together entertainment personalities, religious leaders, and private volunteer agencies to generate public support for the African Famine Relief and Recovery Act of 1985, which provided $800,000,000 in food and humanitarian relief supplies; Whereas the various initiatives brought forth by Mickey Leland to eradicate world hunger undoubtedly saved thousands of lives; Whereas 2007 marks the 18th anniversary of Mickey Leland’s death; Whereas Mickey Leland died as he lived: on a mission to make a positive difference in this world; and Whereas commemorative postage stamps have been commissioned to honor other great leaders in American history: Now, therefore, be it

That it is the sense of Congress that— (1) a commemorative postage stamp should be issued in honor of George Thomas Mickey Leland; and (2) the Citizens’ Stamp Advisory Committee should recommend to the Postmaster General that such a stamp be issued.

RES. 3 IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES January 3, 2013 Mr. Jones submitted the following concurrent resolution; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary CONCURRENT RESOLUTION Expressing the sense of Congress that the use of offensive military force by a President without prior and clear authorization of an Act of Congress constitutes an impeachable high crime and misdemeanor under article II, section 4 of the Constitution.

Whereas the cornerstone of the Republic is honoring Congress’ exclusive power to declare war under article I, section 8, clause 11 of the Constitution: Now, therefore, be it

That it is the sense of Congress that, except in response to an actual or imminent attack against the territory of the United States, the use of offensive military force by a President without prior and clear authorization of an Act of Congress violates Congress’ exclusive power to declare war under article I, section 8, clause 11 of the Constitution and therefore constitutes an impeachable high crime and misdemeanor under article II, section 4 of the Constitution.

Miller of California (for himself and Mr. Sherman ) submitted the following concurrent resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Ways and Means CONCURRENT RESOLUTION Expressing the sense of the Congress that the current Federal income tax deduction for interest paid on debt secured by a first or second home should not be further restricted.

Whereas homeownership is a fundamental American ideal, which promotes social and economic benefits beyond the benefits that accrue to the occupant of the home; Whereas homeownership is an important factor in promoting economic security and stability for American families; Whereas it is proper that the policy of the Federal Government is and should continue to be to encourage homeownership; Whereas the national homeownership rate for the third quarter of the year 2012 was 65.3 percent; Whereas the housing needs of the population will change as the population ages; Whereas the greatest growth sectors in homeownership are minorities and first-time homebuyers; Whereas the level of homeownership among foreign-born naturalized citizens is the same as the level of homeownership of the Nation as a whole (66 percent in 2011); Whereas the value of a home represents a valuable source of savings for a family; Whereas the provisions related to homeownership are among the simplest and most easily administered provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986; Whereas the current Federal income tax deduction for interest paid on debt secured by a first home has been a valuable cornerstone of this Nation’s housing policy for most of this century and may well be the most important component of housing-related tax policy in America today; and Whereas the current Federal income tax deduction for interest paid on debt secured by second homes is of crucial importance to the economies of many communities in each of the 50 States: Now, therefore, be it

That it is the sense of the Congress that the current Federal income tax deduction for interest paid on debt secured by a first or second home should not be further restricted.

IV 113th CONGRESS 1st Session H. CON. RES. 6 IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES January 4, 2013 Ms. Kaptur submitted the following concurrent resolution; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary CONCURRENT RESOLUTION Expressing the sense of Congress that the Supreme Court misinterpreted the First Amendment to the Constitution in the case of Buckley v. Valeo.

That it is the sense of Congress that the Supreme Court misinterpreted the First Amendment to the Constitution in its decision in the 1976 case of Buckley v. Valeo because— (1) the decision failed to recognize that the unlimited spending of large amounts of money on elections has a corrosive effect on the electoral process not simply because of direct transactions between those who give large amounts of money and candidates and elected officials but because the presence of unlimited amounts of money corrupts the process on a more fundamental level; and (2) the decision failed to recognize other legitimate state interests which justify limiting money in campaigns, including the need to preserve the integrity of our republican form of government, restore public confidence in government, and ensure all citizens a more equal opportunity to participate in the political process.
IV 113th CONGRESS 1st Session H. CON. RES. 8 IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES January 15, 2013 Mr. McKinley (for himself, Mr. Pompeo , Mr. Upton , Mr. Barton , Mr. Whitfield , Mr. Shimkus , Mr. Rahall , Mr. Rogers of Kentucky , Mr. Terry , Mrs. Blackburn , Mr. Johnson of Ohio , and Mrs. Capito ) submitted the following concurrent resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Ways and Means CONCURRENT RESOLUTION Expressing the opposition of Congress to Federal efforts to establish a carbon tax on fuels for electricity and transportation.

Whereas affordable and abundant electricity from coal and natural gas is a strategic resource that is essential to modern life, America’s economic competitiveness, and, ultimately, independence from foreign and volatile sources of energy; Whereas the application of a carbon tax to gasoline and other transportation fuels will have a dramatic, immediate impact on transportation costs, with the greatest impact being felt by low-income Americans and their families; Whereas a carbon tax is designed to result in substantial, immediate increases in the price of electricity, making electricity less affordable for millions of Americans; Whereas a carbon tax applicable to coal and natural gas electricity generation would be punitive and harmful to the American people by artificially raising electricity costs; Whereas, with continuing high national joblessness and an unemployment rate exceeding 7.8 percent every month since February 2009, a carbon tax will drive the unemployment rate even higher; Whereas a carbon tax is likely to have an uneven effect, hitting different regions of the country and segments of the economy much more severely than others; Whereas a carbon tax is regressive and will impose the greatest burden on low-income individuals and families who already spend the largest share of their income on energy and are least able to afford a carbon tax; Whereas economic modeling of Australia’s recently implemented carbon tax shows that it increases energy costs, and reduces growth in GDP, productivity, and household incomes; Whereas a carbon tax in the United States will have no impact on China, India, and other major sources of carbon emissions throughout the world, except to increase their competitiveness with the United States; and Whereas a carbon tax will put United States exporters at a competitive disadvantage by increasing domestic manufacturing production costs: Now, therefore, be it

That Congress opposes Federal efforts to establish a carbon tax on fuels for electricity and transportation.

Whereas No Name-Calling Week is an annual week of educational activities aimed at ending name-calling of all kinds and providing schools with the tools and inspiration to launch an on-going dialogue about ways to eliminate name-calling and bullying in their communities; Whereas 60 organizations, including the National School Boards Association, National Association of Elementary School Principals, National Association of Secondary School Principals, National Education Association, National Association of School Psychologists, Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network, and Big Brothers Big Sisters of America, have come together as No Name-Calling Week partner organizations; Whereas thousands of students have participated in No Name-Calling Week since its inception in 2004; Whereas the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network has conducted and released national studies analyzing the pervasive harassment and victimization faced by elementary students and lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) secondary students; Whereas 26 percent of elementary students reported hearing others say hurtful things based on another student’s race or ethnic background; Whereas 30 percent of elementary students reported being bullied or called names at some point while in school; Whereas over 70 percent of LGBT middle and high school students frequently hear homophobic remarks and over 80 percent of LGBT middle and high school students were verbally harassed in the past year because of their sexual orientation; and Whereas 55 percent of LGBT middle and high school students experienced harassment via electronic means in the past year: Now, therefore, be it
