Whereas allegations of massive voting fraud in the November 2020 Presidential election have been refuted by a variety of judges, State election officials, and the Department of Homeland Security; Whereas campaign lawsuits over voter fraud have been thrown out of court; Whereas the Trump administration has agreed to allow the formal presidential transition to President-elect Biden to begin; Whereas all 50 states and the District of Columbia have certified their Presidential election results; Whereas in a public letter, all 10 living former Secretaries of Defense declared, “Our elections have occurred.

The time for questioning the results has passed; the time for the formal counting of the electoral college votes, as prescribed in the Constitution and statute, has arrived.”; Whereas some Members of Congress plan to reject Presidential electors from certain States on January 6, 2021, at a joint session of Congress to count electoral votes and declare election results over baseless allegations of voter fraud in the November 2020 Presidential Election; and Whereas these same members of Congress were also elected in the November 2020 election and were sworn in as Members of Congress on January 3, 2021: Now, therefore, be it

1.

IV 117th CONGRESS 1st Session H. RES. 17 IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES January 5, 2021 Mr. Burgess submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs RESOLUTION Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the President should redirect and target foreign assistance provided to El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras in a manner that addresses the driving causes of illegal immigration into the United States from such countries, and for other purposes.

Whereas gang violence, poverty, and corruption are the main drivers of illegal immigration from El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras to the United States; Whereas in fiscal year 2018, 34 percent of all southwest border apprehensions were migrants from El Salvador, Guatemala, or Honduras, of which 90 percent are unaccompanied alien children or family units; Whereas roughly half of Central America’s population lives in poverty, including 33 percent of Salvadorans, 59 percent of Guatemalans, and 66 percent of Hondurans; Whereas millions of Salvadorans, Guatemalans, and Hon­dur­ans face hunger at some point each year; Whereas in particular, the indigenous people of Mayan descent in Guatemala are the most malnourished population in the world with children averaging 6 inches shorter than the global average height for their ages, as reported by the World Health Organization; Whereas transnational criminal organizations use Central American countries to traffic approximately 90 percent of the cocaine bound for the United States; Whereas gang-related violence in El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras contributes to the highest homicide rates in the world; Whereas Salvadorans, Guatemalans, and Hondurans are forced to pay hundreds of millions of dollars in protection taxes by gangs and transnational criminal organizations; Whereas the United States provided more than $2,600,000,000 in foreign assistance to Central American countries between fiscal years 2015 and 2018, and Congress has proposed to provide $595,000,000 in such assistance during fiscal year 2019; Whereas there exists the potential for foreign assistance from the United States to be misused by central government officials in El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras in order to reduce the success of anti-corruption efforts; and Whereas systemic corruption in El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras undermines efforts to address the driving causes of illegal immigration into the United States from such countries: Now, therefore, be it

That it is the sense of the House of Representatives that the President should redirect foreign assistance provided to El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras away from the central governments of such countries and instead target such assistance in a manner that addresses the driving causes of illegal immigration into the United States from such countries, by supporting local and regional governmental entities as well as entities in the private sector and civil society, especially non-profit, faith-based, or non-governmental organizations and educational institutions, that are addressing such causes.
IV 117th CONGRESS 1st Session H. RES. 19 IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES January 5, 2021 Ms. Wasserman Schultz submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Ethics RESOLUTION Condemning and censuring Representative Louie Gohmert of Texas.

Whereas, on January 1, 2021, in a television interview with Newsmax, Representative Louie Gohmert stated that in response to the dismissal of his Federal lawsuit seeking to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election, “Basically, in effect, the ruling would be that you’ve got to go to the streets and be as violent as Antifa and BLM.”; Whereas Representative Gohmert has made previous comments insisting the 2020 presidential election had been stolen from President Donald Trump and that urged Trump’s supporters to consider a “revolution” like the 2013 Egyptian protests in which hundreds of Egyptians died, stating that “If they can do that there, think of what we can do here.”; Whereas Representative Gohmert’s comments are contradictory to our longstanding tradition to set aside partisan differences and accept electoral outcomes in order to facilitate a peaceful transition of power; Whereas Representative Gohmert’s comments are part of a dangerous pattern of signaling to American citizens that they should consider using violent means to achieve their goals, including overthrowing the results of a legitimate democratic election; Whereas continued efforts to cast doubt upon the results of the 2020 presidential election by espousing conspiracy theories and by threatening and inciting violence has the potential to lead to tragic consequences, causing irreparable damage toward the people’s faith in our democratic process; and Whereas Representative Gohmert’s comments brought shame on the House of Representatives and jeopardized its reputation and institutional integrity: Now, therefore, be it

That— (1) Representative Louie Gohmert of Texas be censured; (2) Representative Louie Gohmert forthwith present himself in the well of the House of Representatives for the pronouncement of censure; and (3) Representative Louie Gohmert be censured with the public reading of this resolution by the Speaker.

RES. 20 IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES January 6, 2021 Mr. Doggett (for himself and Mr. Smith of New Jersey ) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce RESOLUTION Expressing support for the goals and ideals of National Hydrocephalus Awareness Month .

Whereas hydrocephalus, an abnormal accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid in the brain, is a life-threatening condition that affects approximately 1,000,000 Americans of all ages; Whereas, each year, one in 770 babies develops hydrocephalus; Whereas hospitalization charges for pediatric hydrocephalus cases alone cost the United States health care system $2,000,000,000 per year; Whereas adults living with hydrocephalus add exponentially to health care system costs, as well as costs related to reduced productivity in the workplace; Whereas the incidence of undiagnosed and untreated hydrocephalus in older Americans can result in unnecessary confinement to assisted living facilities and nursing homes; Whereas up to two-thirds (24,000 potential cases) of our current and former military servicemembers suffering from moderate to severe traumatic brain injuries are at risk of developing hydrocephalus; Whereas many individuals with hydrocephalus live with other serious medical comorbidities, particularly seniors who have Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus, putting them at a higher risk for severe illness from COVID–19; Whereas there is no cure for this condition, and the only treatment is costly brain surgery which frequently must be repeated to replace the shunt, a medical device that is the most common treatment for the condition and has one of the highest failure rates of all medical devices; Whereas various research studies are currently being conducted in the United States in order to better understand, prevent, and treat hydrocephalus; Whereas organizations, such as the Pediatric Hydrocephalus Foundation and the Hydrocephalus Association, serve as global leaders for hydrocephalus awareness, education, support, advocacy, and research funding; Whereas the Pediatric Hydrocephalus Foundation established National Hydrocephalus Awareness Month in 2009; and Whereas the Pediatric Hydrocephalus Foundation and the Hydrocephalus Association recognize September as National Hydrocephalus Awareness Month : Now, therefore, be it

That the House of Representatives— (1) supports the goals and ideals of National Hydrocephalus Awareness Month ; and (2) continues to support research to prevent, detect, and treat hydrocephalus.

Whereas, on January 6, 2021, Representative Mo Brooks addressed a rally in Washington, DC, attended by numerous members of known extremist and antigovernment groups, including the Proud Boys, QAnon, Boogaloo Boys, and Oathkeepers, who would shortly thereafter march to seize the United States Capitol; Whereas participants in the rally and march openly boasted on public social media sites well in advance that they intended to storm the Capitol to forcibly stop the certification of the Presidential election, often referring to January 6 as the day when the final battle in a revolution or cleansing would occur, threatening violence against members of Congress, and promising to give their lives if necessary in the fight; Whereas Representative Brooks said to participants in the rally, Today is a time of choosing and tomorrow is a time of fighting. Today is also a day of revelation and separation . . . Today, by their votes, Americans will learn which Republican congressmen and senators love their bourbon, love their cigars, love their prestige, love their personal power, love their special interest group money more than they love America. ; Whereas Representative Brooks then exhorted the audience, Today is the day American patriots start taking down names and kicking ass ; Whereas participants in the rally then proceeded to march to the United States Capitol, which they forcibly and unlawfully entered, many armed with metal rods, bats, and firearms, hoisting Confederate battle flags, assaulting police officers, leading to the murder of United States Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick and four other deaths, dozens of injuries, and causing physical damage to United States Capitol property; Whereas Representative Brooks’ speech on January 6 encouraged and incited violence against his fellow Members of Congress, as part of an assault on the United States Capitol intended to prevent the House of Representatives and the Senate from discharging their Constitutional duties to count Electoral College votes; Whereas after inciting these acts of insurrection that resulted in injuries and loss of life, Representative Brooks has shown no remorse or regret for his comments, instead stating, I make no apology for doing my absolute best to inspire patriotic Americans ; and Whereas Representative Brooks’ actions encouraged and fueled the mob, brought shame on the House of Representatives, jeopardizing its reputation and institutional integrity, as well as the safety of its Members and staff: Now, therefore, be it

That— (1) Representative Mo Brooks of Alabama be censured; (2) Representative Mo Brooks forthwith present himself in the well of the House of Representatives for the pronouncement of censure; and (3) Representative Mo Brooks be censured with the public reading of this resolution by the Speaker.
