Whereas, on December 20, 2017, the United Nations General Assembly designated 2019 as the International Year of the Periodic Table of Chemical Elements (referred to in this preamble as the International Year of the Periodic Table ), recognizing that— (1) the development of the periodic table was 1 of the most significant achievements in science; and (2) the periodic table is a uniting scientific concept with broad applications and implications in astronomy, chemistry, physics, biology, and other natural sciences; Whereas the International Year of the Periodic Table will coincide with the 150th anniversary of the development of the periodic table by Dmitri Mendeleev in 1869; Whereas the periodic table is a unique tool enabling scientists to predict the appearance and properties of matter on Earth and in the universe; Whereas the International Year of the Periodic Table provides an opportunity to educate the public about the ways in which chemical elements can help to address challenges relating to water, food, health, security, and energy throughout the world; Whereas it is critical that the brightest young minds continue to be attracted to chemistry and other branches of science in order to ensure the development of the next generation of scientists, engineers, and innovators; Whereas the American Chemical Society, founded in 1876 and chartered by Congress in 1938, is committed to— (1) improving the lives of people through the transforming power of chemistry; and (2) advancing the broader chemistry enterprise and the practitioners of that enterprise for the benefit of Earth and people around the world; and Whereas the American Chemical Society and other chemical societies and associations around the world are encouraging the members of those societies and associations to work with colleagues to organize outreach activities that will instill public appreciation of— (1) the periodic table; and (2) the contributions of the periodic table to the betterment of life on Earth: Now, therefore, be it

Whereas the United States has had longstanding, positive relations with both the Republic of Turkey and the Republic of Armenia, and it is in the national interest of the United States to promote improved relations between the countries; Whereas on October 10, 2009, the Foreign Ministers of Turkey and Armenia signed protocols to establish good neighborly relations and develop bilateral cooperation, including a joint study of their common history, at a ceremony that was attended and supported by representatives of the United States, France, and Russia; and Whereas attempts by the United States to support Turkish-Armenian dialogue and the normalization of diplomatic relations between the two countries have not been successful thus far: Now, therefore, be it

Whereas journeyman linemen provide a vital service on a daily basis; Whereas journeyman linemen put their lives on the line every day to assure safe and reliable power for the American people; Whereas journeyman linemen work at heights and in close proximity to energized electric lines, and in emergencies they often work extremely long hours under sometimes dangerous conditions to restore power; Whereas Henry Miller, the first elected president of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, was killed on July 10, 1896, at just 38 years old; Whereas Henry Miller died of injuries sustained while troubleshooting an electrical outage; and Whereas there should be a day to honor those industry first responders who have given their lives in the line of duty along with those who provide skillful service in times of local or national crisis: Now, therefore, be it

Whereas legend credits Elizabeth Griscom Ross, popularly known as Betsy Ross, with the creation of the new American Nation’s 13-starred flag; Whereas Betsy Ross was born on January 1, 1752, in the city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Whereas Betsy Ross’ first husband, John Ross, perished while serving as a member of the Pennsylvania militia during the American Revolutionary War, leaving Betsy Ross a widow at the age of 24; Whereas Betsy Ross, a seamstress, worked as a flag maker during the war, and according to legend, met with General George Washington to complete a design for a flag of the United States; Whereas such flag designs have been popularly called the Betsy Ross Flag; Whereas Betsy Ross has been recognized as an important historical and cultural figure, and her legacy has been associated with patriotic causes and the fight for the equal rights of women; Whereas the Betsy Ross Flag has been presented at numerous historical, cultural, and political events of great significance, including America’s Bicentennial celebration and Presidential inaugural ceremonies; Whereas the United States Postal Service commissioned a commemorative stamp in 1952 to honor the 200th anniversary of the birth of Betsy Ross; and Whereas the Betsy Ross Flag continues to serve as a reminder of a new nation’s founding spirit and commitment to liberty, a commitment that continues to make the United States a beacon for freedom across the world: Now, therefore, be it

IV 116th CONGRESS 1st Session H. RES. 488 IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES July 12, 2019 Mr. David Scott of Georgia (for himself, Ms. Kelly of Illinois , Ms. Fudge , Ms. Blunt Rochester , and Ms. Norton ) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce RESOLUTION Supporting the designation of July 2019 as Uterine Fibroids Awareness Month.

Whereas fibroids may cause significant morbidity through their presence in the uterus and pelvic cavity, causing significant pelvic pain, abnormal uterine bleeding, reproductive dysfunction, miscarriages, and even infertility; Whereas the pain, discomfort, stress, and other physical and emotional symptoms of living with fibroids may significantly interfere with a woman’s quality of life, compromising her ability to function normally or work or care for her family, and may lead to more severe health and wellness issues; Whereas uterine fibroids are the most prevalent medical condition affecting women, with an estimated 30 percent of women developing a uterine fibroid by age 35, and 80 percent of women developing a uterine fibroid by age 50; Whereas the exact number of affected women is unknown, as detection and diagnosis is difficult because only 1 out of 4 women who have a uterine fibroid tumor exhibit symptoms severe enough to require treatment; Whereas the overall incidence of uterine fibroid tumors is estimated to disproportionately and more severely impact Black and Hispanic women, resulting in an incidence rate that is 3 times greater in women with Black ancestry and 2 times greater in Hispanic women compared to Caucasian women; Whereas a hysterectomy, or removal of the uterus, is among the most common surgical treatments for uterine fibroids, and more than 200,000 hysterectomies are performed each year to treat uterine fibroids, at an estimated annual cost of more than $2 billion; Whereas uterine fibroid tumors were estimated to cost the United States $5.9 billion to $34.4 billion annually with an estimated annual lost work cost of $1.6 billion to $17.2 billion through absenteeism and short-term disability in women ages 25 to 54; and Whereas public awareness and education campaigns on uterine fibroids prevention, screening, and symptoms are held during the month of July each year: Now, therefore, be it

That the House of Representatives— (1) supports the goals and ideas of Uterine Fibroids Awareness Month; (2) recognizes the disparity in incidence rates of African-American and Hispanic uterine fibroid patients; (3) recognizes the need for greater research, treatment, and care options regarding uterine leiomyoma; and (4) encourages the President to issue a proclamation calling upon the people of the United States to observe the month with appropriate awareness and educational activities.

IV 116th CONGRESS 1st Session H. RES. 496 IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES July 16, 2019 Ms. Omar (for herself, Ms. Tlaib , and Mr. Lewis ) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary RESOLUTION Affirming that all Americans have the right to participate in boycotts in pursuit of civil and human rights at home and abroad, as protected by the First Amendment to the Constitution.

Whereas boycotts have been effectively used in the United States by advocates for equal rights since the Boston Tea Party and include boycotts led by civil rights activists during the 1950s and 1960s in order to advocate for racial equality, such as the Montgomery bus boycott, and promote workers’ rights, such as the United Farm Workers-led boycott of table grapes; Whereas Americans of conscience have a proud history of participating in boycotts to advocate for human rights abroad, including— (1) attempting to slow Japanese aggression in the Pacific by boycotting Imperial Japan in 1937 and 1938; (2) boycotting Nazi Germany from March 1933 to October 1941 in response to the dehumanization of the Jewish people in the lead-up to the Holocaust; (3) the United States Olympic Committee boycotting the 1980 summer Olympics in Moscow in protest of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in the preceding year; and (4) leading the campaign in the 1980s to boycott South African goods in opposition to apartheid in that country; Whereas the Supreme Court, in the 1966 case Rosenblatt v. Baer, held that the First Amendment to the Constitution ensures that [c]riticism of government is at the very center of the constitutionally protected area of free discussion ; Whereas the Supreme Court held in the 1982 case NAACP v. Claiborne Hardware that [t]he right of the States to regulate economic activity could not justify a complete prohibition against a nonviolent, politically motivated boycott … . ; Whereas the Supreme Court has recognized various activities as expressive conduct warranting constitutional protection, such as flag burning, wearing black armbands, silent sit-ins, and creating and designing custom wedding cakes; and Whereas despite this tradition, governments and nongovernmental organizations alike have sought to criminalize, stigmatize, and delegitimize the use of boycotts in an attempt to stifle constitutionally protected political expression: Now, therefore, be it

That the House of Representatives— (1) affirms that all Americans have the right to participate in boycotts in pursuit of civil and human rights at home and abroad, as protected by the First Amendment to the Constitution; (2) opposes unconstitutional legislative efforts to limit the use of boycotts to further civil rights at home and abroad; and (3) urges Congress, States, and civil rights leaders from all communities to endeavor to preserve the freedom of advocacy for all by opposing antiboycott resolutions and legislation.

In all of this, the aforementioned Donald John Trump has, by his statements, brought the high office of the President of the United States in contempt, ridicule, disgrace, and disrepute, has sown seeds of discord among the people of the United States, has demonstrated that he is unfit to be President, and has betrayed his trust as President of the United States to the manifest injury of the people of the United States, and has committed a high misdemeanor in office. Therefore, Donald John Trump by causing such harm to the society of the United States is unfit to be President and warrants impeachment, trial, and removal from office.

RES. 511 IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES July 23, 2019 Mrs. Davis of California (for herself, Mr. Levin of California , Mr. Peters , and Mr. Vargas ) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Armed Services RESOLUTION Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the Department of the Navy should take a leading role in the mitigation of cross-border spills, discharges, and debris in the Tijuana River that impact national security interests of the United States.

Whereas runoff crossing the United States-Mexico border poses significant environmental and public health risks; Whereas discharges of raw sewage into the Tijuana River have required Navy in-water military training in the vicinity of Coronado, California, to be shifted to other locations due to health and safety concerns; Whereas the $1,000,000,000 Navy SEAL training center, Naval Base Coronado Coastal Campus, is located less than three miles from the mouth of the Tijuana River; Whereas sewage spills and debris, such as discarded tires, often clog the river channel, causing substantial erosion along the perimeter of the Naval Outlying Landing Field Imperial Beach (NOLFIB), which has threatened the installation’s perimeter fencing and resulted in the Navy developing a project to reinforce the riverbank and relocate portions of Navy fencing; Whereas such discharges also cause secondary impacts to local Navy operations, such as beach closures at Naval Base Coronado in areas that are prime nesting grounds for the Western Snowy Plover and the California Least Tern; Whereas increased regulatory actions by State and Federal environmental protection agencies may be levied if the quality and safety of these species’ nesting areas are affected, which will negatively constrain military activities in these areas; and Whereas Congress is concerned that future spills, discharges, and debris from the Tijuana River may have more significant impacts on the military installations and operations in the San Diego region: Now, therefore, be it

That it is the sense of the House of Representatives that the Department of the Navy should take a leading role in the mitigation of cross-border spills, discharges, and debris in the Tijuana River that impact national security interests of the United States.
IV 116th CONGRESS 1st Session H. RES. 515 IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES July 24, 2019 Mr. Pence (for himself, Mr. Gallagher , Mr. Carbajal , and Mr. Moulton ) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Oversight and Reform RESOLUTION Expressing support for the designation of October 23, 2019, as a national day of remembrance of the tragic 1983 terrorist bombing of the United States Marine Corps Barracks in Beirut, Lebanon.

Whereas the United States deployed members of the Armed Forces to Lebanon in 1982 as part of a multinational peacekeeping force; Whereas early on the morning of October 23, 1983, a truck packed with explosives detonated outside of a building at Beirut International Airport that served as quarters for several hundred members of the United States Armed Forces deployed as part of the peacekeeping force; Whereas 241 members of the Armed Forces were killed in the blast; Whereas the Americans killed included 220 Marines, members of the 1st Battalion, 8th Marines-Battalion Landing Team, which made October 23, 1983, the deadliest day for the Marine Corps since the Battle of Iwo Jima in February 1945 during World War II; Whereas, in addition to the Marine Corps casualties, 18 Navy sailors and 3 Army soldiers were killed, and more than 100 other members of the Armed Forces were injured; Whereas members of the Armed Forces from 39 States and Puerto Rico died while serving in Beirut, Lebanon, from 1982 to 1984; Whereas, on the same day as the bombing of the Marine Corps Barracks, another suicide bomber killed 58 French paratroopers housed at another building in Beirut; and Whereas it is fitting and proper that the events of October 23, 1983, and the members of the United States Armed Forces who died in Beirut on that day are recognized through the establishment of a national remembrance day on October 23: Now, therefore, be it

That the House of Representatives— (1) supports the designation of a national day of remembrance for members of the United States Armed Forces who were killed or injured by the terrorist attack on the United States Marine Corps Barracks in Beirut, Lebanon, on October 23, 1983; and (2) encourages the people of the United States to support and participate in appropriate ceremonies, programs, and other activities in observance of such a national day of remembrance.

Whereas kindness means doing something for someone else with no expectation of anything in return; Whereas kindness can change a family, a neighborhood, a school, a city, a nation, and ultimately, our world; Whereas residents within the United States have a long history of demonstrating kindness daily in their homes, schools, places of faith, businesses, community organizations, and throughout their neighborhoods; Whereas kindness has the power to connect people and to build community and is the mortar that connects and builds our Nation's social infrastructure; Whereas the culture of kindness and compassion can heal the country from within and promote a healthier society; Whereas studies have shown that kindness can improve several aspects of health, mindfulness, self-compassion, compassion toward others, and interpersonal conflict; and Whereas kindness can foster strong bonds that will bring individuals together despite their differences in order to tackle the challenges that face our Nation in a nonpartisan manner: Now, therefore, be it

That it is the sense of the House of Representatives that the United States shall recognize kind actions in this country, encourage kindness, spread love, and foster a culture of being kind to one another.
