Whereas the United States has enjoyed a renaissance in energy production, with the expansion of domestic crude oil and other petroleum product production contributing to enhanced energy security and significant economic benefits to the national economy; Whereas, in 2015, Congress recognized the need to adapt to changing crude oil market conditions and repealed all restrictions on the export of crude oil on a bipartisan basis; Whereas lifting the restrictions on crude oil exports encouraged additional domestic energy production, created American jobs and economic development, and allowed the United States to emerge as the leading oil producer in the world; Whereas, in 2019, the United States became a net exporter of petroleum products for the first time since 1952, and the reliance of the United States on foreign imports of petroleum products has declined to historic lows; and Whereas free trade, open markets, and competition have contributed to the rise of the United States as a global energy superpower: Now, therefore, be it

Whereas, on February 24, 2022, the Russian Federation invaded the sovereign State of Ukraine in violation of international law; Whereas Russian troops have since committed horrendous atrocities and human rights violations; Whereas, as of March 2023, the Russian Government has kidnapped and removed tens of thousands of innocent children from their homes in Ukraine; Whereas the Russian Government continues to falsely claim that the parents and families of these exploited children are dead; Whereas the Russian Government is actively transporting these kidnapped children to reeducation camps and remote areas like Murmansk, Kamchatka, and the North Korean border where they have created dozens of new child custody centers ; Whereas, rather than a humanitarian project as Russia claims, these reeducation camps are designed to brainwash the young and malleable minds of children into supporting the horrors being committed in Ukraine and into supporting the empire of evil President Vladimir Putin seeks to construct by any means necessary; Whereas this practice is in direct contradiction to any standard of reasonableness and civility; Whereas this practice was employed by dictator Adolf Hitler; Whereas this practice was employed by dictator Joseph Stalin; Whereas this practice was employed by dictator Mao Zedong; Whereas this practice was employed by dictator Pol Pot; Whereas this practice was employed by dictator Augusto Pinochet; Whereas this practice is historically associated with sadistic tyrants and dictators who pose a threat to humanity, world peace, prosperity, and human rights; and Whereas children everywhere should be protected against all forms of neglect, cruelty, and exploitation: Now, therefore, be it
