Whereas Chicago blues music has its roots deep in the Mississippi Delta and was carried north in the Great Migration of 1916–1970 by the millions of African Americans who migrated to northern industrial cities in search of good jobs and to escape from Jim Crow racism; Whereas Chicago’s blues community nurtured thousands of musicians and dozens of record labels, and the city became the world capital of blues and eventually gave birth to Alligator Records and the rich, soulful Chicago blues heritage and culture that we know and love today; Whereas with nothing but his love of the blues and entrepreneurial spirit, Bruce Iglauer founded Alligator Records in 1971 at the age of 23, using all his savings to record his favorite Chicago blues band, Hound Dog Taylor and the HouseRockers, although the band had no national presence, no booking agent, no manager, no publicist, and played almost entirely in tiny neighborhood clubs on the South and West Sides of Chicago; Whereas beginning with this one album, Iglauer built a blues record label that is now celebrating its 50th birthday; Whereas today, Alligator Records is the largest independent blues label in the world, with over 350 albums and an artist roster that ranges in age from 22 to 78, and has won three Grammy Awards and an astonishing 48 nominations, as well as over 150 Blues Music Awards and over 115 Living Blues Awards; and Whereas Alligator Records has been a driving force in support of Chicago blues and blues music worldwide, and a glowing example of our country’s rich tradition of musical and entrepreneurial spirit: Now, therefore, be it

Whereas 32,000,000 Americans live with food allergies, including many that are life-threatening, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that the prevalence of food allergies in children increased by 50 percent between 1997 and 2011; Whereas food allergies have an enormous impact on quality of life for the 1 in 13 children who develop a severe food allergy, and one-third of children over the age of 5 with allergies are bullied for their allergy; Whereas there is an annual cost to families in the United States of nearly $25,000,000,000 per year, not including the impact to quality of life; Whereas many children who develop a food allergy do not have a family history of food allergies, and therefore the family is much less aware of the life-changing consequences of developing a food allergy and the need for food allergy prevention; Whereas research has shown that early introduction has shown promise in reducing the impact of food allergies in studies where parents feed peanuts and eggs, allergenic foods, to their babies as early as 4 to 6 months of age; Whereas the 2020–2025 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, published by the Department of Agriculture and the Department of Health and Human Services, and medical guidelines from the American Academy of Pediatrics and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases already recommend early allergen introduction to help prevent food allergies; and Whereas the FASTER Act of 2021 ( Public Law 117–11 ) highlights sesame as an important allergenic food, and prioritizes food allergy research opportunities to examine prevention and develop more effective treatment, and ultimately, a cure: Now, therefore, be it

Whereas lifestyle-related chronic diseases are at the heart of the current health care crisis in the United States; Whereas the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has deemed chronic disease the public health challenge of the 21st century ; Whereas decades of research have linked lifestyle factors, such as inactivity, poor diet, tobacco smoking, and sustained stress, with increased risk for major illnesses and death; Whereas attempts to reduce these lifestyle-related chronic diseases and costs have proven to be financially un­sus­tain­able within a system that rewards hospitalizations and invasive procedures; Whereas incentives for interventions and technologies that achieve desired outcomes such as outpatient care, risk management, patient support, and health coaching should be encouraged; Whereas a large gap exists between health care provider recommendations and sustainable health-related behavior change; Whereas health coaches are a new type of health care worker who serve as wellness guides and supportive mentors that motivate individuals to cultivate positive health choices and move them toward those specific goals; Whereas health coaches serve a vital role in improving an individual’s wellness that complements and does not replace the work of health care professionals; and Whereas there are an increasing number of studies that show the effectiveness of health and wellness coaches in improving individual health and wellness and reducing health care costs: Now, therefore, be it

IV 117th CONGRESS 1st Session H. RES. 484 IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES June 17, 2021 Mrs. Miller-Meeks (for herself, Mrs. Fischbach , Mr. Jordan , Mr. Norman , Mr. Gibbs , Mr. Van Drew , Mr. Budd , Mr. Hice of Georgia , Mr. Green of Tennessee , Mrs. Hinson , Mr. Rutherford , Mrs. Wagner , Ms. Mace , Mr. Duncan , Mr. Owens , Mr. C. Scott Franklin of Florida , Mr. Burchett , Mr. Hudson , Ms. Malliotakis , Mr. Emmer , and Ms. Cheney ) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary RESOLUTION Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the United States should not waive intellectual property rights relating to COVID–19 vaccines or treatments.

Whereas building on decades of research and in conjunction with Operation Warp Speed, the United States pharmaceutical industry successfully developed three incredibly effective COVID–19 vaccines to date, with a fourth vaccine currently undergoing clinical trials; Whereas these vaccines are the most respected, most sought after vaccines in the world due to their exceptional efficacy and safety, which is due to both the painstaking work and investment during development as well as the diligent efforts of the United States pharmaceutical industry to qualify and oversee world-class manufacturing facilities to produce the vaccines; Whereas intellectual property protections are vital to incentivize innovation, including the innovations that directly led to the COVID–19 vaccines and may revolutionize future vaccine development efforts; and Whereas intellectual property protections have not contributed significantly to shortages of COVID–19 vaccines or had a significant effect on the pace of vaccinations, both of which are predominantly dependent on logistical challenges, raw material shortages, and other factors: Now, therefore, be it

that it is the sense of the House of Representatives that— (1) the policy of the United States should not be to waive valid intellectual property protections for COVID–19 vaccines or treatments, related manufacturing processes or technology, technology platforms used to develop COVID–19 vaccines or other medicines, or other related innovations; and (2) the policy of the United States should not be to strip innovators of valid intellectual property protections because it would undermine innovation, weaken the competitiveness of United States businesses, and damage our ability to respond to future pandemics.
