IV 117th CONGRESS 1st Session H. CON. RES. 47 IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES August 17, 2021 Mr. Phillips (for himself and Mrs. Kim of California ) submitted the following concurrent resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce CONCURRENT RESOLUTION Supporting the designation of August 18, 2021, as Congressional Startup Day .

Whereas the term startup generally refers to an innovative, technology-enabled, and growth-oriented company founded by one or more entrepreneurs to develop a unique product or service and bring it to market; Whereas startups, particularly early stage companies, contribute to a sizable portion of the American workforce and are the driving force behind most new job creation in the United States; Whereas, from 2010 to 2018, startups accounted for approximately 30 percent of employment gains in the United States each year; Whereas startups that are less than a year old created approximately three million jobs in 2019; Whereas startups and small businesses employ 60 million people across the United States, nearly half of the American workforce; Whereas startups are driving economic growth and job creation all over the United States, as almost half of all new startups are established outside of the 35 largest metropolitan areas in the country; Whereas startups across the country have been an integral part of the national response to the COVID–19 pandemic, but are in desperate need of support from Congress in order to further protect their entrepreneurs and their employees; Whereas startup companies have faced major layoffs in the wake of the pandemic; Whereas startups and small businesses have had their access to capital from investors significantly reduced due to the pandemic; Whereas the designation of August 18, 2021, as Congressional Startup Day recognizes the commitment of this Congress to promoting diversity and inclusiveness within the entrepreneurial community, including startups founded by women and entrepreneurs of color; Whereas entrepreneurs from underrepresented communities are less likely to receive bank loans and other forms of investment and deserve equal opportunity and support; and Whereas at the time of launching their venture, only 25 percent of Black and Latino entrepreneurs have another business owner in their network, and growing their ventures is often contingent upon support from the entrepreneurial community as well as our country: Now, therefore, be it

That Congress— (1) recognizes the importance of startups to the American economy; (2) supports the goal of assisting startups in weathering the economic downturn caused by the COVID–19 pandemic; and (3) commits to promoting equal economic opportunity for underrepresented entrepreneurs of all backgrounds, including entrepreneurs who are Black, Latino, Native American, Asian American and Pacific Islanders, and women.

Whereas the United States was viciously attacked by the murderous terrorist group al-Qaida on September 11, 2001; Whereas al-Qaida was based in the country of Afghanistan, which was governed by the ruthless and oppressive Taliban regime; Whereas the United States led an international coalition of military forces into Afghanistan to destroy al-Qaida, kill or capture Osama Bin Laden, and depose the Taliban government; Whereas hundreds of thousands of United States 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 had led to the collapse of the Afghan government, return of the Taliban to Afghan rule, and 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 our country experienced is a direct result of the actions of our brave members of the Armed Forces, diplomats, and humanitarians; (3) despite the chaotic end to operations in Afghanistan, their service 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.
