Whereas the United States was created and built by peoples from every land, and these people made this Nation the world’s economic, military, scientific, and cultural leader; Whereas Canada and Mexico, the nations bordering the United States, have major museums in or near their capital cities telling the story of the making of their peoples; Whereas the people of the United States do not have a comprehensive and accurate picture of all the peoples who created and continue to build the Nation; Whereas few foreigners know the story of the peoples who came to be citizens of the United States, nor the story of the people from their own nations who came to this land; Whereas a museum telling the story of the making of the people of the United States and celebrating all who migrated and settled in the present day United States, from the very first to the most recent, belongs near the National Mall in Washington, DC; Whereas the National Museum of the American People would serve as a resource to assist State, local, and ethnic museums throughout the Nation present exhibits that celebrate the heritage of the people of the United States; Whereas non-Federal sources will be sought to provide full funding for a Presidential Commission to study establishment of the Museum and that such sums will commence when the President signs an Executive order creating a bipartisan Presidential Commission; and Whereas non-Federal sources are anticipated to provide full funding to design and build the Museum, its exhibitions and its components: Now, therefore, be it

That Congress supports the establishment of a bipartisan Presidential Commission to study the establishment of a National Museum of the American People to tell the immigration and migration stories of all people in the United States.

RES. 31 IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES April 15, 2013 Mr. Runyan (for himself and Mr. Schneider ) submitted the following concurrent resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce CONCURRENT RESOLUTION Supporting Rare Pituitary Disease Awareness.

Whereas rare pituitary diseases are those which affect small patient populations, typically populations smaller than 2–3 cases per million individuals in the United States; Whereas many rare pituitary diseases are serious, life-threatening, and have limited treatment options; Whereas rare pituitary diseases and conditions include but are not limited to both Cushing's disease and Acromegaly; Whereas people with rare pituitary disease experience challenges such as difficulty in obtaining an accurate diagnosis, limited treatment options, difficulty finding physicians or treatment centers with expertise in their disease, diminished quality of life and physical function if untreated; Whereas there is a high need for medical education that will address the specific needs of patients with rare pituitary diseases, increase the speed of diagnosis and a number of correctly diagnosed patients; Whereas there have been great strides made in research and treatment due to the Orphan Drug Act of 1983; Whereas Rare Pituitary Disease Awareness helps to increase public awareness and understanding of rare pituitary diseases; Whereas there are a number of rare disease awareness initiatives for various rare conditions recognized on both State and Federal levels but none for rare pituitary disorders; Whereas Rare Pituitary Disease Awareness is anticipated to be observed globally in years to come, to provide hope and information for patients afflicted by Cushing's disease, Acromegaly and other pituitary diseases around the world; and Whereas both the Food and Drug Administration and the National Institutes of Health have established special offices to advocate for rare disease research and treatments: Now, therefore, be it

That the Congress— (1) supports Rare Pituitary Disease Awareness; (2) recognizes the importance of improving awareness and encouraging accurate and early diagnosis of Cushing's disease, Acromegaly and other rare pituitary diseases; and (3) supports a substantial national commitment to improving diagnostics and cures for rare pituitary diseases and quality of life for patients afflicted by these rare conditions.

IV 113th CONGRESS 1st Session H. CON. RES. 39 IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES June 14, 2013 Mr. Yoho (for himself, Mr. Hastings of Florida , Mr. Cassidy , Mr. LaMalfa , Ms. Frankel of Florida , Mr. Rooney , Mr. Radel , Mr. Schrader , Mrs. Roby , and Ms. Wilson of Florida ) submitted the following concurrent resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Ways and Means , and in addition to the Committee on Agriculture , for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned CONCURRENT RESOLUTION Expressing the sense of Congress that all direct and indirect subsidies that benefit the production or export of sugar by all major sugar producing and consuming countries should be eliminated.

Whereas every major sugar-producing and sugar-consuming country in the world maintains some form of direct or indirect subsidy to support its sugar growers, processors, or consumers; Whereas virtually all of the more than 100 countries that produce sugar maintain market distorting subsidy programs, including— (1) the Government of Brazil which has direct and indirect subsidies of at least $2,500,000,000 per year for programs to promote its sugar and ethanol industry and a subsidized credit program making available over $2,000,000,000 to growers to replant sugarcane; and (2) the Government of Mexico which has direct and indirect subsidies to keep open 9 government-owned sugar mills accounting for 22 percent of Mexican sugar production and direct payments to sugarcane growers; Whereas the world sugar market is the most volatile commodity market in the world; Whereas the foregoing clauses provide ample evidence there is no undistorted, free market in sugar in the world today; and Whereas if such a free market did exist, United States sugar farmers and processors could compete effectively in that market: Now, therefore, be it

That it is the sense of Congress that— (1) the President, by agreements negotiated under the auspices of the World Trade Organization, should seek elimination of all direct and indirect subsidies benefitting the production or export of sugar by the government of— (A) each country that exported more than 200,000 metric tons of sugar during 2013; and (B) any other country with which the United States has in effect a free trade agreement; (2) if the President determines that all such subsidies by all such countries have been eliminated, then the President should report to Congress detailed information about how each of the countries has eliminated such subsidies; and (3) after submitting such report, the President should propose to Congress legislation to implement a zero for zero sugar subsidy policy.
IV 113th CONGRESS 1st Session H. CON. RES. 40 IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES June 20, 2013 Mr. Jones submitted the following concurrent resolution; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary , and in addition to the Committee on Foreign Affairs , for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned CONCURRENT RESOLUTION Expressing the sense of Congress that the President is prohibited under the Constitution from initiating war against Syria without express congressional authorization and the appropriation of funds for the express purpose of waging such a war.

Whereas the Constitution’s makers entrusted decisions to initiate offensive warfare not in self-defense exclusively to Congress in article I, section 8, clause 11; Whereas the Constitution’s makers knew that the Executive Branch would be prone to manufacture danger and to deceive Congress and the United States people to justify gratuitous wars to aggrandize executive power; Whereas chronic wars are irreconcilable with liberty, a separation of powers, and the rule of law; Whereas the entry of the United States Armed Forces into the ongoing war in Syria to overthrow President Bashar al-Assad would make the United States less safe by awakening new enemies; Whereas the fate of Syria is irrelevant to the security and welfare of the United States and its citizens and is not worth risking the life of a single member of the United States Armed Forces; Whereas humanitarian wars are a contradiction in terms and characteristically lead to semi-anarchy and chaos, as in Somalia and Libya; Whereas if victorious, the hydra-headed Syrian insurgency would suppress the Christian population or other minorities as has been similarly witnessed in Iraq with its Shiite-dominated government; and Whereas United States military aid to the Syrian insurgents risks blowback indistinguishable from the military assistance provided to the splintered Afghan mujahideen in Afghanistan to oppose the Soviet Union and culminated in the 9/11 abominations: Now, therefore, be it

That it is the sense of Congress that— (1) the President is prohibited under the Constitution from the offensive use of the United States Armed Forces in Syria without prior express authorization by an Act of Congress or without a prior express appropriation of funds for that purpose by an Act of Congress; and (2) the President’s defiance of those constitutional limitations on his authority to initiate war would constitute an impeachable high crime and misdemeanor under article II, section 4 of the Constitution.
IV 113th CONGRESS 1st Session H. CON. RES. 42 IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES June 28, 2013 Mr. Conyers (for himself, Mr. Dingell , Mr. Levin , Mr. Huizenga of Michigan , Mr. Walberg , Mr. Bentivolio , Mr. Peters of Michigan , Mr. Camp , and Mr. Kildee ) submitted the following concurrent resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform CONCURRENT RESOLUTION Recognizing and congratulating the Detroit brand on the occasion of its 75th anniversary in Michigan.

Whereas 2013 marks the 75th anniversary of the Detroit brand; Whereas the Detroit brand is rooted in Detroit’s rich automotive heritage, beginning in the Great Depression and continuing today as a leader in producing heavy-truck engines; Whereas the origin of the Detroit brand began as the Detroit Diesel Corporation in 1938; Whereas in the 1930s and 1940s, Detroit was producing engines used by the Allied Forces in tanks, landing craft, and generators among other equipment; Whereas in the 1950s Detroit expanded its product line and began to focus on the heavy-duty truck market; Whereas in the 1960s and 1970s, Detroit’s business growth tripled as it formed new alliances, becoming Detroit Diesel Allison; Whereas in the late 1980s, Detroit launched its signature four-cycle heavy-duty engine, the Series 60, which became a leader in the North American engine market; Whereas in 1988, Detroit Diesel Allison became the Detroit Diesel Corporation and saw its United States market share rapidly expand; Whereas in 2000, the Detroit Diesel Corporation joined the Daimler group; Whereas in 2005, Detroit Diesel launched the Renaissance project, creating jobs and investing hundreds of millions of dollars in expanded engine production in Michigan; Whereas in 2009, the 1 millionth Series 60 engine was sold; Whereas in 2010, Detroit Diesel continued to invest in Michigan and launched new cleaner diesel technology; and Whereas in 2012, the Detroit brand of engines, axles, and transmissions was launched with new capital investment and additional new jobs in Detroit, Michigan: Now, therefore, be it

That Congress recognizes and congratulates the Detroit brand on the occasion of its 75th anniversary in Michigan.
