That it is the sense of Congress that the President should invoke the authorities provided under the Defense Production Act of 1950 (including the use of the prioritization of contracts, loans, loan guarantees, direct purchase authority, and the authority to procure and install equipment in private industrial facilities) to increase the production of baby formula and provide for the equitable distribution of baby formula through Federally qualified health centers.
IV 117th CONGRESS 2d Session H. CON.

Board of Education of District of Columbia decision.

Whereas equal access to a free public education in the United States is a right; Whereas, prior to 1952, Black Deaf children in the District of Columbia were not permitted to attend the Kendall School for the Deaf on the Gallaudet College campus and were sent outside of the District for their education; Whereas Louise Burrell Miller, the mother of 4 children, 3 of whom were deaf, filed suit in Federal court against the District of Columbia Board of Education on behalf of her Black Deaf son, Kenneth, and other Black Deaf children who were denied admission to the Kendall School, with the aim of ending segregation and having their Black Deaf children educated within the District; Whereas, on July 3, 1952, the United States District Court for the District of Columbia ruled in their favor in Miller v. Board of Education of District of Columbia, stating that African Americans could not be sent outside a State or district to obtain the same education that White students could have within the State or district; and Whereas this ruling led to the construction of the Kendall School Division II at Gallaudet in 1953, which educated 23 Black Deaf children until its closure in 1954 following the Supreme Court decision in Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, in which the Court decided unanimously that racial segregation of children in public schools was unconstitutional: Now, therefore, be it

That Congress— (1) recognizes the significance of the 70th anniversary of the Miller v. Board of Education of District of Columbia decision; (2) honors the courage and leadership of Louise and Luther Miller and their children, Kenneth, Carol, Gerald, and Justin Miller; and (3) remembers the 23 Black Deaf children who attended and the 4 teachers who taught at the segregated Kendall School Division II.

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 United States consulate in Jerusalem for outreach to Palestinians 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 Palestinian Authority has stated that the purpose of opening a United States consulate in Jerusalem for outreach to Palestinians is to divide the city; 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 United States consulate in Jerusalem for outreach to Palestinians; (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.

Whereas, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), approximately 36,000,000 older adults above age 65 fall each year; Whereas approximately 3,000,000 older adults visit emergency rooms for falls each year; Whereas falls among older adults cause 34,000 largely preventable deaths annually; Whereas more than 1 out of 4 older adults in the United States falls each year; Whereas falls are the leading cause of injury-related deaths among adults aged 65 and older each year; Whereas falls are the leading cause of both fatal and nonfatal injuries among adults aged 65 and older; Whereas beyond the loss of life and independence, the CDC reports that the total direct medical cost of fall-related injuries for older adults is approximately $50,000,000,000 annually, including approximately $29,000,000,000 paid by Medicare, approximately $9,000,000,000 paid by Medicaid, and approximately $12,000,000,000 paid by private and out-of-pocket payors; Whereas if the rate of increase in falls is not slowed, the annual cost of fall injuries will surpass $101,000,000,000 by 2030; Whereas many falls could be prevented by addressing modifiable biological, behavioral, and environmental risk factors; and Whereas evidence-based programs reduce falls by utilizing cost-effective strategies, such as exercise programs to improve balance and strength, medication management, vision improvement, reduction of home hazards, and falls prevention education: Now, therefore, be it

That Congress— (1) supports the designation of National Fall Prevention Awareness Week ; (2) recognizes that there are proven, cost-effective falls prevention programs and policies; (3) supports the work of Federal, State, and local governments, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Administration for Community Living, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, other Federal agencies, local community-based organizations, the public health community, health care providers, businesses, and individuals working collaboratively to address risk factors that contribute to falls among older adults in the United States; and (4) encourages continued efforts to reduce and prevent falls and supports Federal investments in fall prevention programs.

Whereas a bipartisan domestic prohibition on the knowing slaughter, transportation, possession, purchase, or sale of a dog or cat for human consumption was included in section 12515 of the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 ( Public Law 115–334 ), which was enacted on December 20, 2018; Whereas the dog and cat meat trade occurs throughout the world, primarily in Asia; Whereas established dog meat markets still exist today; Whereas it is estimated that 30,000,000 dogs and 10,000,000 cats die annually worldwide as a result of the dog and cat meat trade, and that a considerable number of the dogs and cats in this trade are stolen pets still wearing collars when they reach the slaughterhouses, in addition to stray dogs and cats who are captured for slaughter; Whereas there have been reports of abuse, poor living conditions, and cruel slaughtering techniques for dogs and cats farmed for their meat; Whereas many dogs and cats die during transport to slaughterhouses after days or weeks crammed into small cages on the back of vehicles without food or water, and others suffer illness and injury during transport; Whereas the extreme suffering of dogs and cats at such slaughterhouses and on transportation trucks would breach anticruelty laws in the United States and other countries; Whereas many government officials, civil society advocates, and activists including the World Dog Alliance are working to end the dog and cat meat trade. Taiwan and the Chinese city of Shenzhen have passed laws banning the consumption of dog and cat meat; the South Korean Government has formed the Consultative Discussion Committee on Ending Dog Meat Consumption in December 2021; and Whereas legislators in the United States, United Kingdom, Japan, Norway, and Sweden have urged their heads of State in support of the International Agreement to Prohibit the Eating of Dogs and Cats: Now, therefore, be it

That Congress— (1) calls for an end to the consumption and trade of dog and cat meat; (2) urges all nations to join the International Agreement to Prohibit the Eating of Dogs and Cats; and (3) affirms the commitment of the United States to advancing the cause of animal protection and animal welfare, both domestically and around the world.
