RES. 108 IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES May 23, 2024 Mr. Vasquez submitted the following concurrent resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Natural Resources CONCURRENT RESOLUTION Commemorating the 100th anniversary of the designation of the Gila Wilderness.

Whereas, on 3 June, 1924, the Forest Service set aside 755,000 acres as the Gila Wilderness; Whereas this was the first designated wilderness in the United States of America and the world; Whereas this designation marked the beginning of a national system of wilderness areas and helped inspire the Wilderness Act of 1964; Whereas Aldo Leopold, a Forest Service employee in New Mexico, worked to initiate a Federal wilderness concept in the back country of the Gila National Forest; Whereas Arthur Carhart, a Forest Service employee, argued that wilderness recreation would help to develop individual and national character; Whereas the Apache and Mimbres people have been stewards of this land from time immemorial; and Whereas these 100 years later, the character of the Gila remains without permanent human-built structures, protected and managed to preserve this condition, and remains a place unrestrained by human development: Now, therefore, be it

That we commemorate the 100th anniversary of the designation of the Gila Wilderness.

IV 118th CONGRESS 2d Session H. CON. RES. 114 IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES June 18, 2024 Mr. Huizenga (for himself, Mr. Tiffany , Mr. Ogles , Ms. Tenney , Mrs. Steel , and Mr. Donalds ) submitted the following concurrent resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs CONCURRENT RESOLUTION Expressing the sense of Congress that the International Olympic Committee should allow Taiwan to participate in the 2024 Summer Olympics under the national name, flag, and anthem of its own choosing.

Whereas, according to the Olympic Charter, ‘‘The practice of sport is a human right. Every individual must have access to the practice of sport, without discrimination of any kind in respect of internationally recognized human rights within the remit of the Olympic Movement. The Olympic spirit requires mutual understanding with a spirit of friendship, solidarity and fair play.’’; Whereas the Olympic Charter states that, ‘‘The enjoyment of the rights and freedoms set forth in this Olympic Charter shall be secured without discrimination of any kind, such as race, color, sex, sexual orientation, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status.’’; Whereas the Olympic Charter further states that the role of the International Olympic Committee is, among other things, ‘‘to oppose any political or commercial abuse of sport and athletes’’; Whereas the International Olympic Committee unfairly pressured Taiwan to abandon its national name as a condition for participating in the Games because of political pressure from the People’s Republic of China; Whereas the display of Taiwan’s national flag and the playing of its national anthem are prohibited even when athletes from Taiwan win medals; Whereas Taiwan’s athletes, like athletes from all participating countries, have exhibited years of hard work, dedication, and disciplined training for the right to proudly represent their country in the Olympic Games; Whereas Taiwanese athletes have won a combined total of 36 gold, silver, and bronze medals in both Summer and Winter Games appearances; and Whereas athletes from Taiwan are unfairly required to compete under the name ‘‘Chinese Taipei’’ in order to perpetuate the fiction that Taiwan is a part of the People’s Republic of China even though Taiwan has never been under the control of the People’s Republic of China for a single day: Now, therefore, be it

That it is the sense of Congress that— (1) discriminatory treatment of Taiwan by the International Olympic Committee is unfair, inappropriate, and contradicts the spirit of both the Olympic Charter and the Olympic Movement; and (2) the International Olympic Committee should live up to the ideals of the Olympic Charter and allow Taiwan to compete under the national name, flag, and anthem of its own choosing.
IV 118th CONGRESS 2d Session H. CON. RES. 115 IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES June 25, 2024 Mr. Boyle of Pennsylvania (for himself, Mr. Aderholt , Mr. Evans , Ms. Salazar , Mrs. Watson Coleman , Ms. Scanlon , and Mr. Thompson of Pennsylvania ) submitted the following concurrent resolution; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary CONCURRENT RESOLUTION Providing for a joint session of the Congress in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on Thursday, July 2, 2026, in honor of the semiquincentennial of the Declaration of Independence.

Whereas the city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, was founded in 1682; Whereas Philadelphia has become known as the Nation’s birthplace for the critical role it played in the founding of the United States of America; Whereas Philadelphia was the meeting place for the first Continental Congress, the second Continental Congress, and the Constitutional Convention; Whereas Philadelphia served as the capital of the United States from 1790–1800; Whereas, on July 4, 1776, the Second Continental Congress approved the Declaration of Independence in Philadelphia, at the Pennsylvania State House, now known as Independence Hall; Whereas the Declaration of Independence officially severed the 13 colonies’ ties to the British Crown; Whereas Independence Hall is 1 of only 11 cultural World Heritage sites in the United States of America; Whereas Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, became the first World Heritage City in the United States of America; Whereas shortly after the conclusion of the Constitutional Convention, Benjamin Franklin proclaimed of the Rising Sun Armchair at Independence Hall, I have often looked at that picture behind the president without being able to tell whether it was rising or setting. But now at length I have the happiness to know that it is a rising and not a setting sun ; Whereas across from Independence Hall stands the Liberty Bell, displaying the phrase Proclaim Liberty Throughout All the Land Unto All the Inhabitants thereof ; and Whereas, July 4, 2026, will serve as the semiquincentennial, or 250th anniversary, of the founding of the United States: Now, therefore, be it

That, in honor of the semiquincentennial of the Declaration of Independence, the two Houses of the Congress shall assemble in a joint session at the Independence National Historical Park in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on Thursday, July 2, 2026, for the purpose of commemorating the Declaration of Independence.

Whereas a great number of Americans have been overlooked for too many years who have contributed to the efforts in wartime by remaining home to work in factories and mills producing sails, uniforms, ammunition, and other essential materials; Whereas America has done a great job in honoring our war heroes, but has largely neglected to commemorate those behind the scenes; and Whereas we should take this day to remember all of those who supported our troops throughout American history off the battlefield supporting the efforts to defend our freedom and democracy: Now, therefore, be it
