Whereas, on January 6, 2021, as Members of Congress convened to count electoral votes for President and Vice President of the United States, in keeping with their constitutional duties, a mob of thousands of insurrectionists gathered on the Capitol Grounds; Whereas the insurrectionists convened to oppose the imminent affirmation of Joseph R.

Trump spoke at the rally and encouraged attendees to walk down to the Capitol ; Whereas the insurrectionists stormed and forcefully entered the Capitol, including by breaking through barricades, doors, and windows; Whereas the presence of insurrectionists inside the Capitol posed an immediate threat to the physical security of Members of Congress, congressional staff, and building personnel, forcing them to evacuate or seek shelter elsewhere; Whereas insurrectionists breached, ransacked, and stole valuable property from the House of Representatives Chamber, the Senate Chamber, and the offices of Members of Congress, including the Speaker of the House of Representatives; Whereas pipe bombs were discovered outside the headquarters of the Democratic National Committee and the Republican National Committee; Whereas a total of five individuals lost their lives during the insurrection, including United States Capitol Police Officer Brian D.

That it is the sense of the House of Representatives that— (1) there should be established a National Day of Remembrance to remember the insurrection that occurred on January 6, 2021, at the United States Capitol; and (2) we should come together as a country and ensure that such events never occur again in our Nation of, by, and for the people.

Whereas more than 630,000 letter carriers, mail clerks, mail handlers, supervisors, postmasters, and other employees of the United States Postal Service work to process, transport, and deliver letters, packages, and other mail to every home and business in America six days a week, and in certain areas, even seven, and fulfill the public service mission of the United States Postal Service to provide the Nation with reliable, affordable, and universal mail service ; Whereas at great risk to their own health and safety, the dedicated employees of the United States Postal Service have continued to perform their critical job duties on behalf of the American people throughout the duration of the COVID–19 pandemic and in support of vital local, State, and Federal pandemic relief and recovery efforts; Whereas in the midst of the COVID–19 pandemic and a nationwide shortage in personal protective equipment, our exceptional postal workforce also processed and delivered more than 135,000,000 ballots to American voters in support of unprecedented Vote-By-Mail operations conducted for the 2020 general election and runoff elections for the Senate in Georgia, and processed and delivered at least 590,000,000 mail pieces in support of the 2020 decennial census; Whereas over 41,000 United States Postal Service employees have tested positive for COVID–19, and at least 100 United States Postal Service employees have died from complications related to COVID–19; Whereas the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices has recognized United States Postal Service workers as frontline essential workers who perform duties across critical infrastructure sectors and maintain the services and functions that U.S. residents depend on daily , and has recommended their prioritization in phase 1b of the COVID–19 vaccination program; and Whereas the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices has acknowledged reports of high incidence and outbreaks and the heightened risk of COVID–19 facing frontline essential workers, including United States Postal Service employees: Now, therefore, be it

IV 117th CONGRESS 1st Session H. RES. 109 IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES February 5, 2021 Mrs. Murphy of Florida (for herself, Mr. Joyce of Ohio , Mr. Diaz-Balart , Ms. Moore of Wisconsin , Mr. Bishop of Georgia , Mr. McKinley , Mr. McCaul , Mr. Fitzpatrick , Mr. Rush , Mr. Kahele , Ms. Jackson Lee , Mrs. Napolitano , Mr. Pappas , Mr. Michael F.

Whereas the United States Postal Service has announced that it may need to eliminate or reduce levels of door-to-door delivery service by the conversion of millions of homes and businesses to centralized delivery or curbside and require those who wish to retain their door service to pay a delivery tax; Whereas reduced levels of service will have an immediate impact on current year revenue and a long-term impact on the viability of a business inevitably causing a larger drop in revenue from service cuts than from the estimated savings of elimination or reducing door delivery; Whereas door delivery is a vital service that the American people have relied on since the 1860s in both rural and urban areas and ensures the security of mail and packages; Whereas voluntary conversion of businesses in 2013 equated to a mere 0.8 percent of voluntary conversions confirming that businesses depend on in-person contact with letter carriers to ensure transactional security and initiate new business and revenue for the Postal Service; Whereas millions of Americans will be forced to retrieve their daily mail and packages from a centralized location removing the daily convenience for Americans in receiving checks, medications and other essential items; and Whereas eliminating or reducing door delivery services will serve as a hindrance for the elderly and disabled who will be forced to retrieve their mail and packages and be required to submit to a cumbersome application process in order to opt out of the requirement: Now, therefore, be it

That it is the sense of the House of Representatives that the United States Postal Service should take all appropriate measures to ensure the continuation of door delivery for all businesses and residential customers.

IV 117th CONGRESS 1st Session H. RES. 112 IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES February 11, 2021 Ms. Adams (for herself, Ms. Houlahan , and Ms. Stevens ) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Science, Space, and Technology RESOLUTION Expressing the sense of Congress that February 11, 2021, be observed as the 6th annual International Day of Women and Girls in Science.

Whereas the International Day of Women and Girls in Science was established in 2015 by the United Nations General Assembly and formalized as February 11 each year; Whereas the annual recognition of International Day of Women and Girls in Science on February 11 allows us to honor women’s significant achievements in scientific fields; Whereas the International Day of Women and Girls in Science places a much-needed focus on women and girls currently studying and working in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) careers; Whereas, in 2019, just 30 percent of researchers worldwide were women, and only 35 percent of all students enrolled in STEM-related studies are women; Whereas, in the United States, women earned less than half of degrees in most STEM fields (46.3 percent associate’s, 49.4 percent bachelor’s, 43.6 percent master’s, 45.2 percent doctoral), less than a quarter of all degrees in engineering, but half to three-quarters of all degrees in biological sciences, psychology, and social sciences, and account for just 29 percent of the science and engineering workforce; Whereas long-standing biases, discrimination, and gender stereotypes steered and continue to influence girls and women away from science-related fields; Whereas despite this, generations of women have continued to lead in scientific discoveries and groundbreaking research; Whereas, for centuries, female scientists such as Katherine Johnson, Dorothy Vaughn, and Mary Jackson, whose stories were told in the movie Hidden Figures , and countless others have made groundbreaking discoveries, contributed greatly to the advancement of their fields, and inspired a generation of women to follow in their footsteps; Whereas the United States and 192 other Member States of the United Nations unanimously prioritized ending the gender gap in education through Sustainable Development Goal 4—to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education—and the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund, United Nations Women, and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization are working together with countries and the private sector to strengthen girls and women participation in STEM fields, however there is still a long way to go; and Whereas by elevating the work of women and girls in science, we can inspire the next generation of STEM leaders, thinkers, and professionals: Now, therefore, be it

That the House of Representatives— (1) recognizes the significance of the International Day of Women and Girls in Science; (2) recognizes the importance of having greater representation of women in science fields; and (3) recognizes the groundbreaking contributions of women in STEM fields, past, present, and future.
IV 117th CONGRESS 1st Session H. RES. 114 IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES February 11, 2021 Mr. Connolly (for himself and Mr. Graves of Missouri ) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Oversight and Reform RESOLUTION Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the United States Postal Service should take all appropriate measures to ensure the continuation of its 6-day mail delivery service.

Whereas the United States Postal Service has announced that it may need to reduce the frequency of its mail delivery service from 6 days a week to 5 days a week; Whereas 6-day mail delivery service is an essential service that the American people have relied on since 1912, particularly working families that depend on the Postal Service for the timely delivery of their paychecks; and Whereas reducing mail delivery service to 5 days a week would inevitably cause not only delays in the delivery of mail, but higher postal costs, due to the many hours of additional overtime that the Postal Service would require in order to handle the resulting back-up of mail: Now, therefore, be it

That it is the sense of the House of Representatives that the United States Postal Service should take all appropriate measures to ensure the continuation of its 6-day mail delivery service.
IV 117th CONGRESS 1st Session H. RES. 119 IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES February 11, 2021 Mr. McKinley (for himself, Ms. Kaptur , Mr. Joyce of Pennsylvania , Mr. Tonko , Mr. Young , Mr. Ryan , Mr. Fitzpatrick , and Mr. Allred ) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Oversight and Reform RESOLUTION Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the United States Postal Service should take all appropriate measures to restore service standards in effect as of July 1, 2012.

Whereas, on January 5, 2015, the United States Postal Service has implemented lower service standards to virtually eliminate overnight delivery of first class mail and periodicals, and further delay most other mail; Whereas the Postal Regulatory Commission found that it was not necessary to degrade postal services to realize substantial cost savings and that there are other ways to save the postal service money without jeopardizing the service Americans rely upon; Whereas delayed mail negatively impacts businesses, hurts residents, rural communities, and the economy, and drives customers away, resulting in lower revenue and worsens the Postal Service’s financial situation; and Whereas robust service standards implemented by the United States Postal Service are essential to providing prompt and timely delivery of all mail, online purchases, local newspapers, newsletters, bill payments, letters, invitations, packages, and medicines: Now, therefore, be it

That it is the sense of the House of Representatives that the United States Postal Service should take all appropriate measures to restore service standards in effect as of July 1, 2012.

Whereas Lunar New Year begins on the second new moon following the winter solstice, or the first day of the new year according to the lunisolar calendar, and extends until the full moon 15 days later; Whereas the 15th day of the new year, according to the lunisolar calendar, is called the Lantern Festival; Whereas Lunar New Year is often referred to as Spring Festival in various Asian countries; Whereas many religious and ethnic communities use lunar-based calendars; Whereas Lunar New Year began in China more than 4,000 years ago and is widely celebrated in East and Southeast Asia; Whereas the Asian diaspora has expanded the Lunar New Year celebration into an annual worldwide event; Whereas Lunar New Year is celebrated by millions of Asian Americans, and by many non-Asian Americans, in the United States; Whereas Lunar New Year is celebrated with community activities and cultural performances; Whereas participants celebrating Lunar New Year travel to spend the holiday reuniting with family and friends; and Whereas Lunar New Year is traditionally a time to wish upon others good fortune, health, prosperity, and happiness: Now, therefore, be it
