IV 119th CONGRESS 1st Session H. RES. 475 IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES June 4, 2025 Mrs. Miller of Illinois (for herself, Mr. Cloud , Mr. Moore of Alabama , Mrs. Harshbarger , Mr. Weber of Texas , Mr. Rulli , Mr. Nehls , Ms. Hageman , Mr. Harris of North Carolina , Ms. Tenney , Mr. Davidson , Mr. McGuire , Mr. Sessions , Mr. Grothman , Mr. Gill of Texas , Mr. Loudermilk , Mr. Brecheen , and Ms. Greene of Georgia ) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Education and Workforce RESOLUTION Supporting the designation of Family Month.

Whereas the traditional nuclear family is the foundation of a healthy society; Whereas mothers and fathers play a crucial and irreplaceable role in the upbringing of their children; Whereas the best environment for children to thrive is a home with a married mother and father; Whereas roughly half of all marriages in the United States end in divorce; Whereas many young people are opting to delay or forgo marriage and starting a family; Whereas many tax and welfare policies encourage cohabitation and penalize couples for getting married; Whereas the birth rate in the United States has fallen below the replacement level needed to replenish the population and sustain the economy; Whereas the month of June was first declared as Pride Month by President Bill Clinton in 1999 and has been done so by Presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden, rejecting the importance of marriage and family; Whereas Americans are inundated with perverse Pride Month displays and events throughout the month of June that denigrate the nuclear family; Whereas Americans who hold to a traditional view of marriage and family are often disparaged; Whereas the decline of marriage and family has corresponded to a rise in crime, drug abuse, and other social ill; Whereas our Founding Father John Adams said, Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other. ; Whereas our survival as a country and civilization depends on the continuation of traditional marriage and family; and Whereas it is fitting to observe a month of rededicating our Nation to the importance of the traditional nuclear family: Now, therefore, be it

That the House of Representatives— (1) recognizes the benefit of marriage and family to men, women, children, and society; (2) no longer recognizes Pride Month; and (3) supports the designation of Family Month for the purpose of rededicating our Nation to the importance of this essential unit.
IV 119th CONGRESS 1st Session H. RES. 481 In the House of Representatives, U. S., June 9, 2025 RESOLUTION Condemning the rise in ideologically motivated attacks on Jewish individuals in the United States, including the recent violent assault in Boulder, Colorado, and reaffirming the House of Representatives commitment to combating antisemitism and politically motivated violence.

Whereas, on June 1, 2025, in Boulder, Colorado, a peaceful gathering held by the group Run for Their Lives was violently attacked by an individual armed with incendiary devices, resulting in multiple injuries, including to elderly participants, in what authorities have called a targeted, ideologically motivated act of terrorism; Whereas this attack represents the latest in a growing trend of politically and religiously motivated violence directed at Jewish individuals and institutions across the United States; Whereas, on May 21, 2025, two Israeli Embassy staff members—Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Lynn Milgrim—were fatally shot outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, DC, following a reception for diplomats, and the suspect shouted Free, free Palestine! during his arrest; Whereas, on April 13, 2025, an individual set multiple fires using incendiary devices at the Pennsylvania Governor’s Residence while Governor Josh Shapiro and his family were inside following a Passover Seder; the suspect, motivated by hostility toward the Governor’s stance on Israel and Palestinians, admitted intent to cause harm and now faces charges including attempted murder, terrorism, and arson; Whereas these attacks, though distinct in method and geography, share a common pattern of targeting Jewish individuals or symbols of Jewish life and civic engagement; Whereas no American should be subjected to violence or intimidation because of their religion, heritage, or peaceful advocacy; and Whereas acts of antisemitism—whether expressed through threats, vandalism, or violence—are fundamentally incompatible with the values of the United States and must be condemned unequivocally: Now, therefore, be it

That the House of Representatives— (1) condemns in the strongest possible terms the June 1, 2025, targeted act of terror in Boulder, Colorado, as a cowardly act of ideologically motivated violence; (2) recognizes this attack as part of a disturbing pattern of targeted aggression against Jewish individuals in the United States; (3) reaffirms its commitment to protecting the rights of all Americans to assemble peacefully and practice their faith without fear of violence; (4) calls on Federal, State, and local law enforcement agencies to ensure thorough investigation and prosecution of all such incidents; and (5) urges elected officials, community leaders, and civil society to speak out against antisemitism and politically motivated violence in all forms.

Whereas Hidradenitis Suppurativa (in this resolution referred to as HS ) is a chronic, inflammatory skin disease that affects approximately 3,300,000 people in the United States; Whereas HS causes painful, boil-like nodules and abscesses anywhere on the body, and can progress to form tunnels under the skin and cause extensive scarring; Whereas individuals with HS frequently suffer from 5 primary domains of physical and emotional suffering, pain, drainage, odor, itching, and profound psychological distress; Whereas HS is associated with one of the highest completed suicide rates among dermatological diseases, second only to melanoma; Whereas 75 percent of individuals with HS are misdiagnosed or not diagnosed until after age 25, missing critical windows for early intervention and care; Whereas delayed diagnosis contributes to worsening disease progression, higher healthcare costs, avoidable emergency room visits, and unnecessary procedures; Whereas individuals are often diagnosed with HS in the prime of their lives, affecting their ability to work, maintain relationships, and participate fully in society; Whereas, as of June 1, 2025, there are only 3 biologic therapies approved by the Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of HS; Whereas additional research is urgently needed to develop new treatments, understand the pathogenesis of the disease, identify biomarkers of HS, and improve outcomes for HS patients; Whereas Federal policy can play a critical role in improving access to biologic therapies, wound care, and comprehensive care for HS patients; and Whereas designating the first week of June as Hidradenitis Suppurativa Awareness Week would increase public awareness, foster understanding, and catalyze progress in diagnosing, treating, and ultimately curing HS: Now, therefore, be it

That the House of Representatives— (1) supports the recognition of Hidradenitis Suppurativa Awareness Week ; and (2) recognizes the importance of— (A) increasing awareness and education about HS among the public and health professionals; (B) promoting timely and accurate diagnosis of HS through improved screening and culturally competent care; (C) supporting biomedical research to better understand HS pathogenesis, treatment efficacy, and long-term outcomes; (D) accelerating the development of effective treatments and expanding access to existing therapies for HS; and (E) advancing policies that address disparities in access to care for patients with HS and improve the quality of life for individuals living with HS and the caregivers of such individuals.

IV 119th CONGRESS 1st Session H. RES. 488 In the House of Representatives, U. S., June 9, 2025 RESOLUTION Denouncing the antisemitic terrorist attack in Boulder, Colorado.

Whereas, on June 1, 2025, Mohammed Sabry Soliman, an Egyptian national illegally in the United States, committed a terrorist attack in Boulder, Colorado, against marchers peacefully demonstrating in support of the release of hostages held captive by Hamas; Whereas, while shouting Free Palestine , Mohammed Sabry Soliman attacked the peaceful demonstrators with homemade Molotov cocktails; Whereas Mohammed Sabry Soliman stated he planned the terrorist attack for more than a year, wanted to kill all Zionist people and wished they were all dead , and would do it [conduct an attack] again ; Whereas the terrorist attack committed by Mohammed Sabry Soliman wounded at least 14 people who suffered burns and other injuries; Whereas, reportedly, at least one of the victims was a Holocaust survivor; Whereas everyone should pray for the quick healing of the victims of Mohammed Sabry Soliman’s antisemitic terrorist attack; Whereas Mohammed Sabry Soliman was issued a tourist visa to travel to the United States; Whereas Mohammed Sabry Soliman was admitted to the United States at Los Angeles International Airport on August 27, 2022; Whereas, one month after his arrival in the United States and seemingly in violation of the terms of his nonimmigrant visa, which required that he not intend to remain in the United States permanently, Mohammed Sabry Soliman filed an asylum application with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services; Whereas Mohammed Sabry Soliman failed to depart the United States prior to the expiration of his authorized period of stay pursuant to his visa; Whereas the case of Mohammed Sabry Soliman highlights the need to aggressively vet aliens who apply for visas to determine whether they endorse, espouse, promote, or support antisemitic terrorism or engage in other antisemitic or anti-American activity; Whereas the case of Mohammed Sabry Soliman demonstrates the dangers of not removing from the country aliens who fail to comply with the terms of their visas; and Whereas Colorado law enforcement officials have encountered Mohammed Sabry Soliman multiple times since 2022: Now, therefore, be it

That the House of Representatives— (1) condemns Mohammed Sabry Soliman and his antisemitic terrorist attack on peaceful demonstrators supporting the release of the hostages held by Hamas; (2) affirms that free and open communication between State and local law enforcement and their Federal counterparts remains the bedrock of public safety and is necessary in preventing terrorist attacks; and (3) expresses gratitude to law enforcement officers, including U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement personnel, for protecting the homeland.

IV 119th CONGRESS 1st Session H. RES. 490 IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES June 9, 2025 Mr. Amo (for himself and Mr. Moulton ) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform RESOLUTION Expressing support for the designation of the second Saturday in June as Veterans Get Outside Day .

Whereas, between 2000 and 2024, the Secretary of Defense found that more than 460,000 members of the Armed Forces were diagnosed with traumatic brain injuries; Whereas studies have found that, after decades of combat in Afghanistan and Iraq, 20 percent of veterans suffer from post-traumatic stress and depression; Whereas the Department of Veterans Affairs found that veterans suffer a disproportionately higher rate of suicide compared to non-veterans, and post-traumatic stress, traumatic brain injury, depression, and anxiety are root causes of the suicide epidemic in the veteran community, with an estimated 17.6 suicides per day in 2022; Whereas, despite a strong effort by Congress and Department of Veterans Affairs to reduce the number of veterans’ suicides, there are still gaps in mental health care for veterans, and the United States needs to use every treatment available to support the veteran community; Whereas studies have shown that exposure to nature and the outdoors has a positive therapeutic impact on mental health, including by resulting in lower risks of depression and improved focus and attention, and even a single day outside can improve an individual’s overall mood and lessen feelings of isolation; Whereas studies have found that individuals with increased access to green space have a lower suicide risk; Whereas the Forest Service sponsors a National Get Outdoors Day on the second Saturday in June to promote the health benefits of outdoor recreational activities; Whereas the United States has recognized the need to connect veterans with nature by providing free admission to national parks and forests; and Whereas a targeted outreach effort, such as Veterans Get Outside Day, to veterans living with post-traumatic stress, traumatic brain injury, depression, and anxiety may lead to further participation in outside events and improved mental health outcomes: Now, therefore, be it

That the House of Representatives— (1) supports the designation of Veterans Get Outside Day ; and (2) encourages the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Forest Service, and the Department of the Interior to coordinate and cooperate in promoting Veterans Get Outside Day along with National Get Outdoors Day.

Whereas, on June 6, 2025, protests began in response to lawful Federal immigration enforcement actions by the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement personnel in Los Angeles, California; Whereas these protests quickly escalated into violent riots across Los Angeles, where acts of arson and vandalism were committed, blocking streets and highways, lighting streets on fire, throwing rocks at law enforcement vehicles, and assaulting Federal and local peace officers; Whereas rioters have shot commercial grade fireworks and thrown Molotov cocktails at Los Angeles Police Department officers and assaulted Federal agents; Whereas rioters burned American flags, an act that disrespects the nation that protects their freedom; Whereas California Governor Gavin Newsom asserted that local law enforcement didn’t need any help, despite the Los Angeles Police Department declaring that the violence had worsened and spiraled out of control; Whereas more than 40 rioters have been arrested, and 5 brave officers with the Los Angeles Police Department have been injured in efforts to contain the chaos; Whereas local and State leadership failed to contain the rapidly escalating disorder, failing to support overwhelmed law enforcement personnel; and Whereas the actions of law enforcement have been crucial in preventing further violence and protecting law-abiding citizens from harm: Now, therefore, be it

Whereas the veterans of the United States have shown steadfast dedication, defending the Nation’s sovereignty, values, and freedoms; Whereas these brave men and women have served with distinction in conflicts across the globe, enduring hardships on land, sea, and air to protect the American way of life; Whereas the sacrifices of veterans, including separation from loved ones, physical and psychological burdens, and the ultimate risk of life, have preserved the liberties that define our great Nation; Whereas June, nestled between Memorial Day’s tribute to our fallen heroes and Independence Day’s celebration of our Nation’s birth, and marked by the historic D-Day anniversary, offers a time to take pride in our veterans’ contributions to this great Nation; and Whereas the people of the United States are proud of the courageous service of all who selflessly served in the United States Armed Forces: Now, therefore, be it
