III 117th CONGRESS 1st Session S. CON. RES. 9 IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES April 29, 2021 Mr. Heinrich (for himself, Mr. Barrasso , Ms. Hassan , Mr. Tester , Mr. Daines , Mrs. Shaheen , Ms. Ernst , and Mr. Crapo ) submitted the following concurrent resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation CONCURRENT RESOLUTION Supporting the Local Radio Freedom Act.

Whereas the United States enjoys broadcasting and sound recording industries that are the envy of the world due to the symbiotic relationship that has existed among these industries for many decades; Whereas, for nearly a century, Congress has rejected repeated calls by the recording industry to impose a performance fee on local radio stations for simply playing music on the radio, as such a fee would upset the mutually beneficial relationship between local radio and the recording industry; Whereas local radio stations provide free publicity and promotion to the recording industry and performers of music in the form of radio airplay, interviews with performers, introduction of new performers, concert promotions, and publicity that promotes the sale of music, concert tickets, ring tones, music videos, and associated merchandise; Whereas committees in the Senate and the House of Representatives have previously reported that “the sale of many sound recordings and the careers of many performers have benefitted considerably from airplay and other promotional activities provided by both noncommercial and advertiser-supported, free over-the-air broadcasting”; Whereas local radio broadcasters provide tens of thousands of hours of essential local news and weather information during times of national emergencies and natural disasters, as well as public affairs programming, sports, and hundreds of millions of dollars worth of time for public service announcements and local fund raising efforts for worthy charitable causes, all of which are jeopardized if local radio stations are forced to divert revenues to pay for a new performance fee; Whereas there are many thousands of local radio stations that will suffer severe economic hardship if any new performance fee is imposed, as will many other small businesses that play music, including bars, restaurants, retail establishments, sports and other entertainment venues, shopping centers, and transportation facilities; and Whereas the hardship that would result from a new performance fee would hurt businesses in the United States and ultimately the consumers in the United States who rely on local radio for news, weather, and entertainment, and such a performance fee is not justified when the current system has produced the most prolific and innovative broadcasting, music, and sound recording industries in the world: Now, therefore, be it

That Congress should not impose any new performance fee, tax, royalty, or other charge— (1) relating to the public performance of sound recordings on a local radio station for broadcasting sound recordings over the air; or (2) on any business for the public performance of sound recordings on a local radio station broadcast over the air.
III 117th CONGRESS 1st Session S. CON. RES. 15 IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES September 15, 2021 Ms. Ernst (for herself, Mr. Grassley , Mr. Hoeven , Mr. Cramer , Mr. Marshall , Mrs. Blackburn , Mr. Wicker , Mrs. Hyde-Smith , Mr. Daines , Mr. Scott of Florida , Mrs. Capito , Mr. Kennedy , and Mr. Rubio ) submitted the following concurrent resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations CONCURRENT RESOLUTION Expressing the sense of Congress that the withdrawal of Armed Forces from Afghanistan does not undermine or diminish the sacrifice, efforts, and accomplishments of the members of the Armed Forces, diplomats, humanitarians, allies, and partners.

Whereas the United States was viciously attacked by the murderous terrorist group al-Qaida on September 11, 2001; Whereas al-Qaida was based in Afghanistan, which was governed by the ruthless and oppressive Taliban regime; Whereas the United States led an international coalition of military forces into Afghanistan— (1) to destroy al-Qaida; (2) to kill or capture Osama bin Laden; and (3) to depose the Taliban government; Whereas hundreds of thousands of members of the Armed Forces, diplomats, and humanitarians deployed to Afghanistan or supported operations from afar; Whereas for nearly 2 decades, the United States was spared from further major attacks by international terror organizations; and Whereas the withdrawal of the presence of the United States in Afghanistan led to— (1) the collapse of the Afghan government; (2) the return of the Taliban to Afghan rule; and (3) great heartache for so many: Now, therefore, be it

That it is the sense of Congress that— (1) the men and women who undertook the efforts of the past years in Afghanistan provided heroic service to the country; (2) the peace the United States experienced is a direct result of the actions of the brave members of the Armed Forces, diplomats, and humanitarians; (3) despite the chaotic end to operations in Afghanistan, the service of the members of the Armed Forces is something to be remembered, lauded, and honored; and (4) any veterans who feel stress, anger, or disappointment from the end of operations in Afghanistan should seek available resources and the comfort, guidance, and counsel of friends, mentors, and caregivers.
117th CONGRESS 2d Session S. CON. RES. 16 IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES CONCURRENT RESOLUTION Commemorating the 30th anniversary of Operation Provide Comfort.

Whereas, in March 1991, Saddam Hussein responded to an uprising in Iraqi Kurdistan with a violent military campaign that included the use of chemical weapons against the citizens of Iraqi Kurdistan, most of whom were unarmed civilians; Whereas Saddam Hussein's forces killed approximately 200,000 Iraqi Kurds, destroyed approximately 4,500 Iraqi Kurdish villages, and displaced hundreds of thousands of Iraqi Kurds who fled to the northern and eastern borders of Iraq, fearing that the regime would use chemical weapons against them, as it did during Saddam Hussein’s Anfal campaign, including the Halabja chemical weapon attack only 3 years before; Whereas, at one point in the early days of the 1991 crisis, the daily death toll of fleeing Iraqi Kurds exceeded 1,000, with victims succumbing to exposure, malnutrition, and disease; Whereas, the United States, in response to the unfolding humanitarian catastrophe, led Operation Provide Comfort, delivering humanitarian relief and enforcing a no-fly zone, saving the lives of countless thousands of Iraqi Kurds from near certain death on the freezing and rugged border mountains of Iraqi Kurdistan; Whereas Operation Provide Comfort provided security and stability in Iraqi Kurdistan; and Whereas the Kurdistan regional government and the Kurdish Peshmerga remain steadfast partners of the United States in the fight against extremism and terrorism: Now, therefore, be it

That Congress— (1) commemorates the 30th anniversary of Operation Provide Comfort; (2) recognizes and honors the soldiers, diplomats, political leaders, and coalition partners of the United States who implemented Operation Provide Comfort; (3) recognizes and honors the nearly 2,000,000 Iraqis, mostly Kurds, who were displaced by the Hussein regime and who survived starvation and exposure, and for whom Operation Provide Comfort offered assistance, security, and a chance for a new life; (4) encourages Iraqi Kurdish leaders to continue to uphold the values of democracy, human rights, and freedom; and (5) reaffirms— (A) the strong partnership between the United States and the Iraqi Kurds, which exists in complementarity with the United States strong partnership with the Government of Iraq; and (B) the enduring respect and support of Congress for Iraqi Kurds, who continue to stand with the United States in shared opposition to extremism and terrorism.

Whereas the United States recognizes sovereign nations’ authority to designate their own capitals; Whereas Jerusalem has served as the diplomatic capital of Israel for decades and has remained the cultural center of Israel and of the Jewish people for millennia; Whereas large, bipartisan supermajorities in the Senate and the House of Representatives voted for the Jerusalem Embassy Act of 1995 ( Public Law 104–45 ), which states, as the policy of the United States— (1) Jerusalem should remain an undivided city ; (2) Jerusalem should be recognized as the capital of the State of Israel ; and (3) the United States Embassy in Israel should be established in Jerusalem ; Whereas, in 2018, the Trump administration relocated the United States Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem in accordance with the Jerusalem Embassy Act of 1995; Whereas the Biden administration’s plan to open a Palestinian consulate in Jerusalem could be viewed as a challenge to— (1) Israel’s sovereignty over Jerusalem; and (2) Jerusalem’s status as an undivided city; Whereas such plan has received bipartisan criticism among members of the Government of the United States and the Government of Israel; Whereas the United States Embassy in Jerusalem’s Palestinian Affairs Unit already manages, in a timely and effective manner, the proposed responsibilities of the Biden administration’s planned Palestinian consulate in Jerusalem; and Whereas the opening and maintenance of a new and unnecessary consulate in Jerusalem would require a substantial expenditure of American taxpayer funds: Now, therefore, be it

That it is the sense of Congress that— (1) Congress opposes the establishment of a new Palestinian consulate in Jerusalem; (2) establishing such a consulate would violate the intent of the Jerusalem Embassy Act of 1995; (3) any establishment of a new consulate or diplomatic mission in Jerusalem should not move forward without congressional approval through the passage of new legislation; and (4) the presence of a United States diplomatic mission devoted to a non-state actor in Israel’s sovereign capital would be an affront to the territorial integrity of a long-standing United States partner and ally.
III 117th CONGRESS 2d Session S. CON. RES. 36 IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES April 27, 2022 Mr. Blunt (for himself, Mr. Brown , and Mr. Cotton ) submitted the following concurrent resolution; which was considered and agreed to CONCURRENT RESOLUTION Honoring the life and legacy of Ulysses S. Grant in commemoration of his 200th Birthday.

Whereas, on July 1, 1843, Ulysses S. Grant graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point, and, on July 31, 1854, Grant resigned from the Army at the grade of Captain; Whereas, following President Abraham Lincoln’s April 15, 1861, proclamation calling for 75,000 volunteers to suppress Confederate forces, Ulysses S. Grant rejoined the Army and helped recruit and train volunteer soldiers for the Union; Whereas, over the course of the American Civil War, Ulysses S. Grant commanded a cumulative total of over 620,000 Union soldiers and achieved major victories, including Fort Henry (February 1862), Fort Donelson (February 1862), Shiloh (April 1862), the Vicksburg Campaign (November 1862–July 1863), Chattanooga (November 1863), the Wilderness Campaign (May 1864–June 1864), the Petersburg Campaign (June 1864–April 1865), and the Appomattox Campaign (April 1865); Whereas, on February 29, 1864, Congress reestablished the grade of Lieutenant-General of the United States Army and authorized the President to appoint, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, an officer who was most distinguished for courage, skill, and ability (38th Congress, Session I, Chap. 14, Sec. 1), and that same day, President Abraham Lincoln nominated Ulysses S. Grant to be Lieutenant-General; Whereas, on March 10, 1864, President Abraham Lincoln formally appointed Ulysses S. Grant to the grade of Lieutenant-General of the Army, a position previously held by only George Washington and Winfield Scott, although Scott’s promotion was a brevet appointment; Whereas, on July 25, 1866, Congress established the grade of General of the Army of the United States (39th Congress, Session I, Chap. 232), and Ulysses S. Grant was appointed, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, to General of the Army of the United States for his role in commanding the Union armies during the Civil War; Whereas, on March 4, 1869, Ulysses S. Grant was sworn in as the 18th President of the United States; and Whereas, throughout his two terms as President, Ulysses S. Grant secured the ratification of the 15th amendment to the Constitution, the creation of the Department of Justice, and the passage and implementation of the Civil Rights Act of 1875: Now, therefore, be it

That Congress— (1) honors Ulysses S. Grant for his efforts and leadership in defending the union of the United States of America; (2) recognizes that the military victories achieved under the command of Ulysses S.
