IV 117th CONGRESS 2d Session H. RES. 1327 IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES August 26, 2022 Mr. Dunn submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce RESOLUTION Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that fentanyl-related substances are a weapon of mass destruction and should be classified as such.

Whereas China remains the primary source of fentanyl precursors and fentanyl-related substances trafficked through international mail and into the United States; Whereas transnational criminal organizations in Mexico are rapidly increasing the flow of fentanyl-related substances into the United States over the porous Southern United States border; Whereas India has emerged as a growing supplier of precursor chemicals and fentanyl-related substances; Whereas, in July 2018, the Federal Bureau of Investigation Weapons of Mass Destruction Directorate assessed that fentanyl is very likely a viable option for a chemical weapons attack by extremists or criminals ; Whereas fentanyl and fentanyl-related substances trafficking operations are growing in sophistication according to the Drug Enforcement Administration; Whereas a single kilogram of fentanyl or a fentanyl-related substance can kill 500,000 individuals; Whereas an estimated 71,238 citizens of the United States have lost their lives from a synthetic opioid overdose in 2021 according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; Whereas fentanyl is the leading driver of the United States ongoing opioid crisis, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; and Whereas Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody has sent a letter to President Biden urging him to classify illicit fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction: Now, therefore, be it

That it is the sense of the House of Representatives that the President should classify synthetic fentanyl-related substances as a weapon of mass destruction.
IV 117th CONGRESS 2d Session H. RES. 1329 IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES September 2, 2022 Mr. Posey (for himself and Mr. Soto ) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Agriculture RESOLUTION Recognizing the need for greater access to rural and agricultural media programming.

Whereas individuals living in rural areas in the United States need access to media content that is relevant to their daily lives; Whereas rural and agricultural programming includes agricultural weather, agribusiness news, commodity market news, and western sports, and this programming is important to the farmers and ranchers of the United States for their way of life and making a living; Whereas rural and agricultural programming covers matters that affect all individuals in the United States; Whereas all individuals in the United States need to be exposed to, and informed about, what is occurring outside of the major cities and suburbs of the United States; Whereas all individuals in the United States feel the effects of inflation and supply chain shortages, and rural and agricultural programming is in a unique position to inform viewers of the roots of these issues; Whereas the population of the world is projected to grow from 7,000,000,000 to approximately 9,000,000,000 by 2050, and agricultural productivity will need to increase to meet the growing demand for food and the projected increase in consumption; Whereas a decrease in investment in agricultural research and development would result in a negative shock to agricultural productivity; Whereas an informed public is key to supporting the proper level of investment in agricultural research and development; Whereas significant consolidation in the media market and prioritization of consolidated media has had a negative impact on access to rural and agricultural programming; and Whereas multichannel video programming distributors and providers of digital and streaming media should make delivery of rural and agricultural programming, including agricultural news and western lifestyle content, a priority: Now, therefore, be it

That the House of Representatives recognizes the importance of rural and agricultural programming and the need for greater access to rural and agricultural media programming.
