which was considered and agreed to RESOLUTION Condemning illegal Russian aggression in Ukraine.\n\nWhereas the recent unprovoked Russian military occupation of the Crimea region of Ukraine, and further military threats against additional Ukrainian territory, are an affront to international norms and agreements and a threat to global peace and security; Whereas, under President Vladimir Putin, the Russian Federation has a history of bullying neighboring countries in an attempt to rebuild Russian dominance on its borders—often under the guise of protecting Russian citizens—including forcibly seizing the South Ossetia and Abkhazia regions of the independent Republic of Georgia in 2008; Whereas the Russian Federation continues to illegally occupy South Ossetia and Abkhazia and has erected fences along administrative boundary lines and permanent military bases in violation of the cease fire agreement negotiated with the European Union; Whereas, during 2013, then-President of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych faced similar Russian coercion to not sign a long-negotiated Association Agreement with the European Union, including threats to gas contracts, the supply of which the Russian Federation turned off in 2006 and 2009; Whereas, in November 2013, President Yanukovych abruptly canceled plans to sign the Association Agreement, saying Ukraine could not afford to sacrifice trade with the Russian Federation as a result; Whereas, for three ensuing months, hundreds of thousands of protesters in Ukraine endured cold and government harassment and violence to protest the decision and demand closer ties to the West; Whereas, on February 20, 2014, Ukrainian security forces, including heavily armed snipers, fired on demonstrators in Kyiv, leaving dozens dead and the people of Ukraine reeling from the most lethal day of violence since the Soviet era, and many of Yanukovych’s political allies, including the mayor of the Kyiv, resigned from his governing Party of Regions to protest the bloodshed; Whereas, on February 22, 2014, the Ukrainian parliament found then-President Yanukovych unable to fulfill his duties, exercised its constitutional powers to remove him from office, and set an election for May 25, 2014, to select his replacement; Whereas, amid Ukraine’s economic hardships, President Yanukovych amassed a lavish secret estate that included a private zoo, exotic gardens, numerous automobiles, and a tall ship; Whereas, on February 27, 2014, heavily armed soldiers without identification or insignia began securing key facilities in the Crimea, including its regional parliament and two airports, and in the ensuing days encircled Ukrainian military facilities and gained effective control of the region; Whereas the military forces are clearly Russian troops, and on March 1, 2014, President Putin sought and received rubber stamp parliamentary approval to use military force against greater Ukraine, having argued that the Government of the Russian Federation acted because of the threat of violence from ultranationalists ; Whereas there has been no credible evidence of serious threats to Russian citizens in Crimea or elsewhere in Ukraine, and the Russian Federation’s military invasion has been widely condemned internationally; Whereas the Russian Federation, as a signatory to the 1994 Budapest Memorandum, reaffirmed its commitment to Ukraine, to respect the independence and sovereignty and the existing borders of Ukraine, to refrain from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of Ukraine, to refrain from economic coercion to subordinate Ukraine to Russia’s interests, and to consult in the event a situation arises that raises a question concerning these commitments; Whereas, in 1997, the Russian Federation and Ukraine signed a friendship treaty, during which time Russian President Boris Yeltsin said in Kyiv, We respect and honor the territorial integrity of Ukraine. ; Whereas the Russian Federation, as a participating state in the Final Act of the Conference for Security and Cooperation in Europe in 1975 (Helsinki Final Act), committed to respect the sovereign equality and individuality of other participating states, including the right of every state to territorial integrity and to freedom and political independence, to refrain from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state, to regard as inviolable all one another’s frontiers as well as the frontiers of all states in Europe, and to refrain from making each other’s territory the object of military occupation; Whereas, under United Nations Charter Article 2, all members shall settle international disputes by peaceful means in a manner that international peace and security are not endangered and refrain from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state; Whereas President Putin himself wrote in 2013, Under current international law, force is permitted only in self-defense or by the decision of the Security Council. Anything else is unacceptable under the United Nations Charter and would constitute an act of aggression. ; Whereas the North Atlantic Council stated that Russian military action against Ukraine is a breach of international law and contravenes the principles of the NATO-Russia Council and the Partnership for Peace and that Russia must respect its obligations under the United Nations Charter and principles of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), on which peace and stability in Europe rest; Whereas leaders of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States and the presidents of the European Council and the European Commission condemned the Russian Federation’s clear violation of Ukrainian sovereignty and territorial integrity, in contravention of the Russian Federation’s obligations under the United Nations Charter and its 1997 basing agreement with Ukraine; Whereas, on February 28, 2014, President Barack Obama stated that the United States is deeply concerned by reports of military movements taken by the Russian Federation inside of Ukraine and that it would be a clear violation of Russia’s commitment to respect the independence and sovereignty and borders of Ukraine, and of international law ; and Whereas President Obama pledged that the United States will stand with the international community in affirming that there will be costs for any military intervention in Ukraine : Now, therefore, be it\n\nThat the Senate— (1) condemns the unprovoked and illegal Russian military seizure of the Ukrainian Crimea and demands the immediate withdrawal of Russian forces except as specifically allowed for by treaty; (2) demands the immediate release of besieged Ukrainian security forces in Crimea, who have shown remarkable restraint under threat; (3) warns that failure to do so or any additional military action against other areas of Ukraine will lead to swift and significant consequences in the Russian Federation’s relations with the United States and those nations who share our views; (4) urges the President to use all appropriate economic elements of United States national power, in coordination with United States allies, including loan guarantees matched with requirements of international financial institutions regarding Ukrainian economic reforms and transparency, to strengthen the Ukrainian economy and protect the independence, sovereignty, and territorial and economic integrity of Ukraine; (5) urges the President to use appropriate economic and diplomatic measures, including calibrated sanctions, against those responsible for the illegal seizure of Crimea; (6) urges the President to propose to G–8 nations to suspend the Russian Federation, and to propose to our NATO allies to suspend operation of the NATO-Russia Council and suspend the Russian Federation’s military and diplomatic representation at NATO; (7) condemns the economic coercion pursued by the Russian Federation beginning in July 2013 against Ukraine, Moldova, Lithuania, and other countries in the region in order to obstruct closer ties between the European Union and the countries of the Eastern Partnership and supports the people of Ukraine in their desire to forge closer ties with Europe; (8) supports assisting Ukraine and United States allies in the region in gaining energy security in order to alleviate their vulnerability to the Russian Federation’s threats and manipulations; (9) expresses its continuing support for democratic allies who regularly face aggression on their borders from the Government of the Russian Federation and supports enhanced security cooperation with, and security assistance to, states in Central and Eastern Europe, including Ukraine; (10) encourages governments in Europe to take similar and coordinated actions to make it clear to the Government of the Russian Federation that violating the territorial integrity of sovereign nations will have swift and significant consequences; (11) calls for the immediate acceptance of a credible international observer mission in Crimea and other parts of the Ukraine; (12) calls on the Government of the Russian Federation to seriously engage with the Government of Ukraine in a political dialogue on a political and diplomatic path that respects Ukrainian sovereignty and the Crimea’s complex historic and ethnic makeup; (13) supports the efforts of the Government of Ukraine to bring to justice those responsible for the acts of violence related to the anti-government protests that began on November 21, 2013; (14) supports the efforts of the Government of Ukraine to recover and return to the Ukrainian state funds stolen by former President Yanukovych, his family, and other current and former members of the Government of Ukraine and elites; and (15) calls upon the leadership of the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) to reconsider its decision to place World Cup 2018 matches in Russia.",

RES. 383 IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES March 13, 2014 Mr. Whitehouse (for himself, Mrs. Murray , and Mr. Walsh ) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary RESOLUTION Designating March 2014 as National Middle Level Education Month .\n\nWhereas the National Association of Secondary School Principals, the Association for Middle Level Education, the National Forum to Accelerate Middle-Grades Reform, and the National Association of Elementary School Principals have declared March 2014 as “National Middle Level Education Month”; Whereas schools that educate middle level students are responsible for educating nearly 24,000,000 young adolescents between the ages of 10 and 15, in grades 5 through 9, who are undergoing rapid and dramatic changes in their physical, intellectual, social, emotional, and moral development; Whereas young adolescents deserve challenging and engaging instruction, knowledgeable teachers and administrators who are prepared to provide young adolescents with a safe, challenging, and supportive learning environment, and organizational structures that banish anonymity and promote personalization, collaboration, and social equity; Whereas the habits and values established during early adolescence have a lifelong influence that directly affects the future health and welfare of the United States; Whereas research indicates that the academic achievement of a student in eighth grade has a larger impact on the readiness of that student for college at the end of high school than any academic achievement of that student in high school; and Whereas in order to improve graduation rates and prepare students to be lifelong learners who are ready for college, a career, and civic participation, the people of the United States must have a deeper understanding of the distinctive mission of middle level education: Now, therefore, be it\n\nThat the Senate— (1) designates March 2014 as National Middle Level Education Month ; (2) honors and recognizes the importance of middle level education and the contributions of the individuals who educate middle level students; and (3) encourages the people of the United States to observe National Middle Level Education Month by visiting and celebrating schools that are responsible for educating young adolescents in the United States.",

RES. 384 IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES March 13, 2014 Mr. Kaine (for himself, Mr. Rubio , Mr. Durbin , Ms. Klobuchar , Mr. Murphy , Mr. Leahy , Mr. Cardin , Mrs. Shaheen , Mr. Menendez , Mrs. Gillibrand , Mrs. Boxer , Mr. Whitehouse , Mr. Casey , Mr. Blumenthal , Mr. Warner , Mr. Kirk , Mr. King , Mr. Markey , and Mr. Cruz ) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations RESOLUTION Expressing the sense of the Senate concerning the humanitarian crisis in Syria and neighboring countries, resulting humanitarian and development challenges, and the urgent need for a political solution to the crisis.\n\nWhereas United Nations Security Council Resolution 2139, adopted on February 22, 2014, expresses grave alarm at the significant and rapid deterioration of the humanitarian situation in Syria, in particular the dire situation of hundreds of thousands of civilians trapped in besieged areas, most of whom are besieged by the Syrian armed forces and some by opposition groups, as well as the dire situation of over 3,000,000 people in hard-to-reach areas, and deplores the difficulties in providing, and the failure to provide, access for the humanitarian assistance to all civilians in need inside Syria; Whereas widespread and systematic attacks on civilians, schools, hospitals, and other civilian infrastructure, in violation of international humanitarian law, continue in Syria, and parties to the conflict are blocking humanitarian aid delivery, including food and medical care from many civilian areas; Whereas the World Health Organization estimates that 70 percent of Syria’s health professionals, up to 80,000 people, have fled the country, cases of typhoid, tuberculosis, polio and other diseases are rampant and increasing, and medical personnel inside Syria are deliberately targeted by parties to the conflict; Whereas the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) has registered more than 2,500,000 Syrian refugees, nearly 80 percent of whom are women and children, and by the end of this year, the United Nations estimates the number of refugees will increase to 4,000,000; Whereas nearly 500,000 refugees from the Syrian conflict are children under the age of five, and more than 11,000 children have been killed and thousands more have suffered severe injuries, including burns, shrapnel wounds, the severing of limbs, and spinal cord injuries; Whereas over 5,000,000 children affected by the conflict desperately need food, clean water, shelter, medical care and psychosocial support; Whereas, since 2011, nearly 3,000,000 Syrian children have been forced to quit their education as fighting has destroyed classrooms, left children too terrified to go to school, and forced families to flee the country; Whereas the refugee crisis threatens the stability of the Middle East, putting immense burdens on Syria's neighbors, most notably Lebanon and Jordan, as well as Turkey and Iraq; and Whereas the United States Government has played a leading role in addressing the Syrian crisis, providing $1,700,000,000 in humanitarian assistance to those suffering inside Syria, as well as to refugees and host communities in the neighboring countries: Now, therefore, be it\n\nThat the Senate— (1) strongly condemns the unlawful use of violence against civilians by all parties to the conflict in Syria, particularly the ongoing violence and widespread human rights violations perpetrated against the people of Syria by the Government of Syria; (2) urges all parties to the conflict to immediately halt indiscriminate attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure; (3) affirms the neutrality of medical professionals providing humanitarian assistance and health care on a non-political basis, and condemns attacks against such personnel or interference in the provision of medical care; (4) urges all parties in Syria to allow for and facilitate immediate, unfettered access to humanitarian aid throughout the Syrian Arab Republic, respecting the safety, security, independence, and impartiality of humanitarian workers and ensuring freedom of movement to deliver aid; (5) supports the immediate and full implementation of United Nations Security Council Resolution 2139 (2014), which calls for unimpeded access of humanitarian assistance to all Syrians to address the rapid deterioration of the humanitarian situation in Syria, in particular the dire situation of hundreds of thousands of civilians trapped in besieged areas, most of whom are besieged by the Syrian armed forces and some by opposition groups, as well as the dire situation of over 3,000,000 people in hard-to-reach areas; (6) calls on the international community to assist the people of Syria, especially internally displaced persons and refugees, in meeting basic needs, including access to food, health care, shelter, and clean drinking water; (7) calls on the international community to support civilians and innocent victims of the conflict in Syria, particularly women and children who are displaced and vulnerable to physical and psychological exploitation; (8) calls on the international community to implement steps that prevent gender-based violence, and assure the protection of women and girls against sexual exploitation, human trafficking, and rape; (9) calls on the international community to continue to support neighboring countries and host communities who are generously supporting refugees fleeing the conflict in Syria; (10) calls on the international community to increase investment for education in host communities to expand learning opportunities for refugee children and to support programs that help children gain access to quality education, protect them from violence and abuse, and provide counseling and psychosocial support; (11) calls on countries that are hosting refugees in the region to support refugee self-reliance and dignity by expanding employment opportunities for refugees; (12) calls on international donors and aid agencies to integrate humanitarian relief and longer term development programs through a comprehensive regional strategy to address the protracted crisis in Syria; and (13) calls on the President to develop and submit to the appropriate committees of Congress within 90 days from adoption of this resolution a strategy for United States engagement in addressing the Syrian humanitarian crisis, to include assistance and development, and protecting human rights inside Syria and in the region.",

which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations April 2, 2014 Reported by Mr. Menendez , without amendment April 3, 2014 Considered and agreed to RESOLUTION Expressing the sense of the Senate concerning the humanitarian crisis in Syria and neighboring countries, resulting humanitarian and development challenges, and the urgent need for a political solution to the crisis.\n\nWhereas United Nations Security Council Resolution 2139, adopted on February 22, 2014, expresses grave alarm at the significant and rapid deterioration of the humanitarian situation in Syria, in particular the dire situation of hundreds of thousands of civilians trapped in besieged areas, most of whom are besieged by the Syrian armed forces and some by opposition groups, as well as the dire situation of over 3,000,000 people in hard-to-reach areas, and deplores the difficulties in providing, and the failure to provide, access for the humanitarian assistance to all civilians in need inside Syria; Whereas widespread and systematic attacks on civilians, schools, hospitals, and other civilian infrastructure, in violation of international humanitarian law, continue in Syria, and parties to the conflict are blocking humanitarian aid delivery, including food and medical care from many civilian areas; Whereas the World Health Organization estimates that 70 percent of Syria’s health professionals, up to 80,000 people, have fled the country, cases of typhoid, tuberculosis, polio and other diseases are rampant and increasing, and medical personnel inside Syria are deliberately targeted by parties to the conflict; Whereas the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) has registered more than 2,500,000 Syrian refugees, nearly 80 percent of whom are women and children, and by the end of this year, the United Nations estimates the number of refugees will increase to 4,000,000; Whereas nearly 500,000 refugees from the Syrian conflict are children under the age of five, and more than 11,000 children have been killed and thousands more have suffered severe injuries, including burns, shrapnel wounds, the severing of limbs, and spinal cord injuries; Whereas over 5,000,000 children affected by the conflict desperately need food, clean water, shelter, medical care and psychosocial support; Whereas, since 2011, nearly 3,000,000 Syrian children have been forced to quit their education as fighting has destroyed classrooms, left children too terrified to go to school, and forced families to flee the country; Whereas the refugee crisis threatens the stability of the Middle East, putting immense burdens on Syria's neighbors, most notably Lebanon and Jordan, as well as Turkey and Iraq; and Whereas the United States Government has played a leading role in addressing the Syrian crisis, providing $1,700,000,000 in humanitarian assistance to those suffering inside Syria, as well as to refugees and host communities in the neighboring countries: Now, therefore, be it\n\nThat the Senate— (1) strongly condemns the unlawful use of violence against civilians by all parties to the conflict in Syria, particularly the ongoing violence and widespread human rights violations perpetrated against the people of Syria by the Government of Syria; (2) urges all parties to the conflict to immediately halt indiscriminate attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure; (3) affirms the neutrality of medical professionals providing humanitarian assistance and health care on a non-political basis, and condemns attacks against such personnel or interference in the provision of medical care; (4) urges all parties in Syria to allow for and facilitate immediate, unfettered access to humanitarian aid throughout the Syrian Arab Republic, respecting the safety, security, independence, and impartiality of humanitarian workers and ensuring freedom of movement to deliver aid; (5) supports the immediate and full implementation of United Nations Security Council Resolution 2139 (2014), which calls for unimpeded access of humanitarian assistance to all Syrians to address the rapid deterioration of the humanitarian situation in Syria, in particular the dire situation of hundreds of thousands of civilians trapped in besieged areas, most of whom are besieged by the Syrian armed forces and some by opposition groups, as well as the dire situation of over 3,000,000 people in hard-to-reach areas; (6) calls on the international community to assist the people of Syria, especially internally displaced persons and refugees, in meeting basic needs, including access to food, health care, shelter, and clean drinking water; (7) calls on the international community to support civilians and innocent victims of the conflict in Syria, particularly women and children who are displaced and vulnerable to physical and psychological exploitation; (8) calls on the international community to implement steps that prevent gender-based violence, and assure the protection of women and girls against sexual exploitation, human trafficking, and rape; (9) calls on the international community to continue to support neighboring countries and host communities who are generously supporting refugees fleeing the conflict in Syria; (10) calls on the international community to increase investment for education in host communities to expand learning opportunities for refugee children and to support programs that help children gain access to quality education, protect them from violence and abuse, and provide counseling and psychosocial support; (11) calls on countries that are hosting refugees in the region to support refugee self-reliance and dignity by expanding employment opportunities for refugees; (12) calls on international donors and aid agencies to integrate humanitarian relief and longer term development programs through a comprehensive regional strategy to address the protracted crisis in Syria; and (13) calls on the President to develop and submit to the appropriate committees of Congress within 90 days from adoption of this resolution a strategy for United States engagement in addressing the Syrian humanitarian crisis, to include assistance and development, and protecting human rights inside Syria and in the region.",

neighboring\n\t\t\t countries, resulting humanitarian and development challenges, and the\n\t\t\t urgent need for a political solution to the crisis.\n </official-title>\n </form>\n <preamble>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas United Nations Security Council Resolution 2139, adopted on February 22, 2014, expresses\n\t\t\t grave alarm at the significant and rapid deterioration of the\n\t\t\t humanitarian situation in Syria, in particular the dire situation of\n\t\t\t hundreds of thousands of civilians trapped in besieged areas, most of whom\n\t\t\t are besieged by the Syrian armed forces and some by opposition groups, as\n\t\t\t well as the dire situation of over 3,000,000 people in hard-to-reach\n\t\t\t areas, and deplores the difficulties in providing, and the failure to\n\t\t\t provide, access for the humanitarian assistance to all civilians in need\n\t\t\t inside Syria;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas widespread and systematic attacks on civilians, schools, hospitals, and other civilian\n\t\t\t infrastructure, in violation of international humanitarian law, continue\n\t\t\t in Syria,\n\t\t\t and parties to the conflict are blocking humanitarian aid delivery,\n\t\t\t including food and medical care from many civilian areas;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas the World Health Organization estimates that 70 percent of Syria’s health professionals, up\n\t\t\t to 80,000 people, have fled the country, cases of typhoid, tuberculosis,\n\t\t\t polio and other diseases are rampant and increasing, and medical\n\t\t\t personnel inside Syria are deliberately targeted by parties to the\n\t\t\t conflict;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) has registered more than\n\t\t\t 2,500,000 Syrian refugees, nearly 80 percent of whom are women and\n\t\t\t children, and by the end of this year, the United Nations estimates the\n\t\t\t number of refugees will increase to 4,000,000;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas nearly 500,000 refugees from the Syrian conflict are children under the age of\n\t\t\t five, and more than 11,000 children have been killed and thousands more\n\t\t\t have suffered severe injuries, including burns, shrapnel wounds, the\n\t\t\t severing\n\t\t\t of limbs, and spinal cord injuries;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas over 5,000,000 children affected by the conflict desperately need food, clean water,\n\t\t\t shelter, medical care and psychosocial support;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas, since 2011, nearly 3,000,000 Syrian children have been forced to quit their education as\n\t\t\t fighting has destroyed classrooms, left children too terrified to go to\n\t\t\t school, and forced families to flee the country;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas the refugee crisis threatens the stability of the Middle East, putting immense burdens on\n\t\t\t Syria's neighbors, most notably Lebanon and Jordan, as well as Turkey and\n\t\t\t Iraq; and\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas the United States Government has played a leading role in addressing the Syrian crisis,\n\t\t\t providing\n\t\t\t $1,700,000,000 in humanitarian assistance to those suffering inside Syria,\n\t\t\t as well as to refugees and host communities in the neighboring countries:\n\t\t\t Now, therefore, be it\n </text>\n </whereas>\n </preamble>\n <resolution-body>\n <section display-inline=\"yes-display-inline\"

RES. 393 IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES March 24, 2014 Mr. Brown (for himself and Mr. Isakson ) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations RESOLUTION Supporting the goals of World Tuberculosis Day to raise awareness about tuberculosis.\n\nWhereas 1/3 of the population of the world is infected with the tuberculosis bacterium; Whereas more than 9,500 tuberculosis cases were reported in the United States in 2013; Whereas more than 1,300,000 individuals die from tuberculosis each year; Whereas over 95 percent of tuberculosis deaths occur in low- and middle-income developing countries; Whereas tuberculosis is the second leading global infectious disease killer, behind HIV/AIDS, and claims 1,800,000 lives each year; Whereas tuberculosis is a leading killer of people living with HIV/AIDS, causing 1/5 of all deaths among people with HIV/AIDS; Whereas tuberculosis is the third leading killer of adult women, and the stigma associated with tuberculosis disproportionately affects women, causing women to delay seeking care and interfering with treatment adherence; Whereas the global tuberculosis pandemic and the spread of drug-resistant tuberculosis present a persistent public health threat to the United States; Whereas according to 2009 data from the World Health Organization, 3.6 percent of all new tuberculosis cases are drug resistant; Whereas multi-drug resistant tuberculosis (referred to in this preamble as MDR-TB ) is present in virtually all countries surveyed; Whereas approximately 450,000 people around the world developed MDR-TB in 2012; Whereas extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis (referred to in this preamble as XDR-TB ) is a strain of tuberculosis that is very difficult and expensive to treat and has high and rapid fatality rates, especially among HIV/AIDS patients; Whereas there have been more than 63 cases of XDR-TB in the United States between 2004 and 2014; Whereas as of September 2013, 92 countries have reported at least 1 case of XDR-TB; Whereas the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimated, in 2009, that the cost of hospitalizing a single patient with XDR-TB is $483,000; Whereas, between 2005 and 2007, the 373 XDR-TB cases in the United States collectively cost the health care system an estimated $53,000,000; Whereas the death rate of tuberculosis dropped 45 percent between 1990 and 2012; Whereas the Institute of Medicine found that a decrease in tuberculosis control funding and the spread of HIV/AIDS caused the resurgence of tuberculosis between 1980 and 1992; Whereas although the number of tuberculosis cases in the United States continues to decline, progress towards eliminating tuberculosis has slowed and the disease does not recognize borders; Whereas African Americans are 8 times more likely to have tuberculosis than Caucasians, and significant disparities exist among other minorities in the United States, including Native Americans, Asian Americans, and Hispanic Americans; Whereas over 530,000 children became infected with tuberculosis in 2012; Whereas tobacco use greatly increases the risk of tuberculosis and death, and more than 20 percent of tuberculosis cases worldwide are attributed to smoking; Whereas diabetes is a major risk factor for tuberculosis, and people with diabetes are more likely to develop the disease and have a higher risk of death due to the disease; Whereas a new technology, known as Xpert, developed in the United States, is able to diagnose cases of tuberculosis within 2 hours, and such technology can even diagnose cases that are difficult to detect, such as cases involving individuals living with HIV; Whereas although drugs, diagnostics, and vaccines for tuberculosis exist, these technologies are antiquated and increasingly inadequate for controlling the global epidemic; Whereas Xpert can quickly detect resistance to 1 of the primary tuberculosis drugs, but other tests to detect drug resistance take at least 1 month to complete and the medical community must develop even faster drug susceptibility tests to stop the spread of drug-resistant tuberculosis; Whereas Bacillus Calmette-Guérin, a tuberculosis vaccine that is known as BCG , provides some protection to children but has little or no efficacy in preventing pulmonary tuberculosis in adults; Whereas there is a critical need for the development of tuberculosis drugs that individuals can safely take concurrently with antiretroviral therapy for HIV; Whereas the Millennium Development Goal of the World Health Organization is to reverse the spread of tuberculosis by 2015; Whereas the enactment of the Tom Lantos and Henry J. Hyde United States Global Leadership Against HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria Reauthorization Act of 2008 (Public Law 110–293; 122 Stat. 2918) and the Comprehensive Tuberculosis Elimination Act of 2008 ( Public Law 110–392 ; 122 Stat. 4195) provides a historic United States commitment to the global eradication of tuberculosis, including a commitment to successfully treating 4,500,000 tuberculosis patients and 90,000 MDR-TB patients between 2008 and 2013 and to providing additional treatment through coordinated multilateral efforts; Whereas the United States Agency for International Development provides financial and technical assistance to nearly 40 highly burdened tuberculosis countries, supports the development of new diagnostic and treatment tools, and is authorized to support research to develop new vaccines to combat tuberculosis; Whereas the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, partnering with the other entities of the United States and individual States and territories, directs the national tuberculosis elimination program, directs essential national tuberculosis surveillance, technical assistance, and prevention activities, and supports the development of new diagnostic, treatment, and prevention tools to combat tuberculosis; Whereas the National Institutes of Health, through its many institutes and centers, plays the leading role in basic and clinical research on the identification, treatment, and prevention of tuberculosis; Whereas the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria provides 63 percent of all international financing for tuberculosis programs; Whereas the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria finances— (1) proposals worth $3,200,000,000 in 112 countries; (2) tuberculosis treatment for 6,000,000 people; and (3) 1,800,000 HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis services; Whereas the prevalence and mortality rates of tuberculosis are declining in many countries with programs supported by the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria; and Whereas March 24, 2014, is World Tuberculosis Day, a day that commemorates the date in 1882 on which Dr. Robert Koch announced his discovery of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the bacteria that causes tuberculosis: Now, therefore, be it\n\nThat the Senate— (1) supports the goals of World Tuberculosis Day to raise awareness about tuberculosis; (2) commends the progress of anti-tuberculosis efforts by entities that include the United States Agency for International Development, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the National Institutes of Health, and the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria; and (3) reaffirms the commitment to global tuberculosis control set forth in section 4 of the United States Leadership Against HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria Act of 2003 ( 22 U.S.C. 7603 ).",

RES. 395 IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES March 25, 2014 Mr. Burr (for himself, Ms. Collins , and Mrs. Murray ) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary March 27, 2014 Committee discharged; considered and agreed to RESOLUTION Designating the month of April 2014 as Military and Veterans Caregiver Month .\n\nWhereas more than 2,400,000 members of the Armed Forces have been deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan since October 2001, 6,800 have been killed in action, more than 51,000 have been wounded in action, and 1,558 have undergone an amputation for a battle-related injury; Whereas the signature wounds of members of the Armed Forces who have served in Operation Enduring Freedom, Operation Iraqi Freedom, and Operation New Dawn are traumatic brain injury and post-traumatic stress disorder; Whereas, between January 1, 2000, and January 10, 2014, 287,911 cases of traumatic brain injury were diagnosed among members of the Armed Forces, and approximately 7,100 cases were classified as severe or penetrating; Whereas studies have shown that the prevalence of post-traumatic stress disorder among veterans who served in Operation Enduring Freedom or Operation Iraqi Freedom ranges between 15 and 20 percent, and reports from the Department of Veterans Affairs show that 29 percent of veterans who served in Operation Enduring Freedom or Operation Iraqi Freedom and sought health care during fiscal years 2002 through 2012 had post-traumatic stress disorder; Whereas many of the members of the Armed Forces and veterans who served in Operation Enduring Freedom or Operation Iraqi Freedom and suffered these injuries require assistance from a family caregiver to complete activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, and feeding, or instrumental activities such as transportation, meal preparation, and health management; Whereas as many as 1,000,000 spouses, parents, and children of veterans have served or are currently serving as family caregivers to veterans who served in Operation Enduring Freedom or Operation Iraqi Freedom, according to a study of military caregivers conducted by the RAND Corporation; Whereas section 1672 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008 ( Public Law 110–181 ; 10 U.S.C. 1071 note) introduced an expansion of medical care available to family caregivers, and the Caregivers and Veterans Omnibus Health Services Act of 2010 ( Public Law 111–163 ) facilitated a new program for access to health insurance, mental health services, caregiver training, and respite care by family caregivers of veterans who served in Operation Enduring Freedom or Operation Iraqi Freedom; Whereas the program provided under the Caregivers and Veterans Omnibus Health Services Act of 2010 ( Public Law 111–163 ) is limited to veterans enrolled in the Veterans Health Administration, who sustained a serious injury in the line of duty after September 11, 2001, and who require at least 6 months of personal care services because of an inability to perform activities of daily living or who require supervision due to neurological impairment; and Whereas the primary caregivers of members of the Armed Forces and veterans injured in the line of duty make tremendous sacrifices of their own, saving the United States millions of dollars in health care and potential institutionalization costs: Now, therefore, be it\n\nThat the Senate— (1) designates the month of April 2014 as Military and Veterans Caregiver Month ; (2) honors caregivers of members of the Armed Forces and veterans for their service and sacrifice to the United States; and (3) calls upon the people of the United States— (A) to observe the month with appropriate activities and events; and (B) to participate in activities that will show support to military families and the sacrifices endured by those families in service to the United States.",

RES. 395 IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES March 25, 2014 Mr. Burr (for himself, Ms. Collins , and Mrs. Murray ) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary RESOLUTION Designating the month of April 2014 as Military and Veterans Caregiver Month .\n\nWhereas more than 2,400,000 members of the Armed Forces have been deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan since October 2001, 6,800 have been killed in action, more than 51,000 have been wounded in action, and 1,558 have undergone an amputation for a battle-related injury; Whereas the signature wounds of members of the Armed Forces who have served in Operation Enduring Freedom, Operation Iraqi Freedom, and Operation New Dawn are traumatic brain injury and post-traumatic stress disorder; Whereas, between January 1, 2000, and January 10, 2014, 287,911 cases of traumatic brain injury were diagnosed among members of the Armed Forces, and approximately 7,100 cases were classified as severe or penetrating; Whereas studies have shown that the prevalence of post-traumatic stress disorder among veterans who served in Operation Enduring Freedom or Operation Iraqi Freedom ranges between 15 and 20 percent, and reports from the Department of Veterans Affairs show that 29 percent of veterans who served in Operation Enduring Freedom or Operation Iraqi Freedom and sought health care during fiscal years 2002 through 2012 had post-traumatic stress disorder; Whereas many of the members of the Armed Forces and veterans who served in Operation Enduring Freedom or Operation Iraqi Freedom and suffered these injuries require assistance from a family caregiver to complete activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, and feeding, or instrumental activities such as transportation, meal preparation, and health management; Whereas as many as 1,000,000 spouses, parents, and children of veterans have served or are currently serving as family caregivers to veterans who served in Operation Enduring Freedom or Operation Iraqi Freedom, according to a study of military caregivers conducted by the RAND Corporation; Whereas section 1672 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008 ( Public Law 110–181 ; 10 U.S.C. 1071 note) introduced an expansion of medical care available to family caregivers, and the Caregivers and Veterans Omnibus Health Services Act of 2010 ( Public Law 111–163 ) facilitated a new program for access to health insurance, mental health services, caregiver training, and respite care by family caregivers of veterans who served in Operation Enduring Freedom or Operation Iraqi Freedom; Whereas the program provided under the Caregivers and Veterans Omnibus Health Services Act of 2010 ( Public Law 111–163 ) is limited to veterans enrolled in the Veterans Health Administration, who sustained a serious injury in the line of duty after September 11, 2001, and who require at least 6 months of personal care services because of an inability to perform activities of daily living or who require supervision due to neurological impairment; and Whereas the primary caregivers of members of the Armed Forces and veterans injured in the line of duty make tremendous sacrifices of their own, saving the United States millions of dollars in health care and potential institutionalization costs: Now, therefore, be it\n\nThat the Senate— (1) designates the month of April 2014 as Military and Veterans Caregiver Month ; (2) honors caregivers of members of the Armed Forces and veterans for their service and sacrifice to the United States; and (3) calls upon the people of the United States— (A) to observe the month with appropriate activities and events; and (B) to participate in activities that will show support to military families and the sacrifices endured by those families in service to the United States.",

RES. 396 IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES March 25, 2014 Mr. Isakson (for himself and Mr. Casey ) submitted the following resolution; which was considered and agreed to RESOLUTION Designating March 25, 2014, as National Cerebral Palsy Awareness Day .\n\nWhereas the term ‘‘cerebral palsy’’ refers to a group of permanent disorders of the development of movement and posture that are attributed to non-progressive disturbances that occur in the developing brain; Whereas cerebral palsy, the most common motor disability in children, is caused by damage to 1 or more specific areas of the developing brain, which usually occurs during fetal development, before, during, or after birth; Whereas the majority of children who have cerebral palsy are born with the disorder, although cerebral palsy may remain undetected for months or years; Whereas individuals with cerebral palsy also have at least 1 co-occurring condition, with 41 percent of such individuals having co-occurring epilepsy and nearly 7 percent having co-occurring autism spectrum disorder; Whereas the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has released information indicating that cerebral palsy is not decreasing in prevalence and that an estimated 1 in 323 children has cerebral palsy; Whereas approximately 800,000 people in the United States are affected by cerebral palsy; Whereas although there is currently no cure for cerebral palsy, treatment often improves the capabilities of a child with cerebral palsy; Whereas scientists and researchers are hopeful that breakthroughs in cerebral palsy research will be forthcoming; Whereas researchers across the United States are conducting important research projects involving cerebral palsy; and Whereas the Senate is an institution that can raise awareness in the general public and the medical community about cerebral palsy: Now, therefore, be it\n\nThat the Senate— (1) designates March 25, 2014, as National Cerebral Palsy Awareness Day ; (2) encourages all people of the United States to become more informed and aware of cerebral palsy; and (3) respectfully requests the Secretary of the Senate to transmit a copy of this resolution to Reaching for the Stars: A Foundation of Hope for Children with Cerebral Palsy.",

RES. 399 IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES March 26, 2014 Mr. Cornyn submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Veterans' Affairs RESOLUTION Expressing support for the American GI Forum.\n\nWhereas millions of Hispanic veterans returning home from World War II were segregated from other veterans groups and wrongfully denied services by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs; Whereas in response to such inequities, Hector P. Garcia, a United States Army veteran and physician from Corpus Christi, Texas, founded the American GI Forum (AGIF) on March 26, 1948; Whereas the motto of AGIF is Education is our Freedom and Freedom Should be Everybody's Business ; Whereas in 1998, AGIF was granted a Federal charter pursuant to an Act of Congress (Public Law 105–231); Whereas one of the purposes stated in the AGIF charter is fostering and enlarging equal educational opportunities, equal economic opportunities, equal justice under the law, and equal political opportunities for all United States citizens, regardless of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin ; Whereas the flagship Veterans Service Center of the AGIF National Veterans Outreach Program is based in San Antonio, Texas, and provides a continuum of care to veterans in need, including employment training, counseling, and a homeless veterans reintegration program; Whereas the AGIF Residential Center for Homeless Veterans has 80 transitional beds and 60 single-room apartments dedicated to the needs of our Nation's homeless veterans; Whereas AGIF is now the largest federally chartered Hispanic veterans organization in the United States, with chapters in 40 States and Puerto Rico; and Whereas AGIF continues to be a beacon of hope and an avenue for community involvement for returning veterans: Now, therefore, be it\n\nThat the Senate— (1) supports and commends the mission, goals, and ideals of the American GI Forum and its members; and (2) encourages others to join with the American GI Forum to ensure that veterans are never again denied the benefits they have earned through their service.",

RES. 402 IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES March 27, 2014 Mr. Franken (for himself and Mr. Johnson of Wisconsin ) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary RESOLUTION Expressing the regret of the Senate for the passage of section 3 of the Expatriation Act of 1907 (34 Stat. 1228) that revoked the United States citizenship of women who married foreign nationals.\n\nWhereas throughout the history of the United States, women have made and continue to make invaluable contributions to society that strengthen the political, social, and economic fabric of the Nation and improve the lives of countless individuals; Whereas women in the United States have been and continue to be leaders in promoting justice and equality during times of great difficulty for the Nation; Whereas women in the United States have played a pivotal role in ensuring freedom and security in the United States; Whereas section 3 of the Expatriation Act of 1907 (34 Stat. 1228) left thousands of women born in the United States, such as Elsie Knutson Moren from Minnesota and Theresa Rosella Schwan from Wisconsin, stateless and without a nationality after marrying a foreign national; Whereas section 3 of the Expatriation Act of 1907 caused thousands of United States women, such as Lorella Martorana from Pennsylvania who lost her citizenship and was not able to vouch for her husband during his naturalization proceedings, and Lena Weide Demke from South Dakota who lost her citizenship and was almost deported during World War I, to have their loyalties questioned, face harassment, and be subject to deportation for various legal infractions; Whereas section 3 of the Expatriation Act of 1907 affected numerous women, such as Florence Bain Gual, a New York City school teacher whose tenure was stripped after 15 years of teaching because she married a foreign national, causing them to face difficulties providing for their families because they lost, or were not able to gain, public employment after marrying a foreign national; Whereas section 3 of the Expatriation Act of 1907 prevented women in the United States, such as Ethel MacKenzie from California who was unable to register to vote because she married a foreign national, from participating in the political process and casting ballots in various elections; Whereas section 3 of the Expatriation Act of 1907 is similar to discriminatory State laws that criminalized or nullified marriages between individuals of different races; Whereas the revocation of citizenship restricted the ability of numerous women in the United States to own houses and real estate; Whereas an acknowledgment of the actions of the Senate that have contributed to discrimination against women will not erase the past, but will highlight the injustices of the national experience and help build a better, stronger, and more equal Nation; and Whereas the Senate recognizes the importance of addressing the error of section 3 of the Expatriation Act of 1907 in order to educate the public and future generations regarding the impact of this law on women and to prevent a similar law from being enacted in the future: Now, therefore, be it\n\nThat the Senate— (1) acknowledges that section 3 of the Expatriation Act of 1907 (34 Stat. 1228) is incompatible with and antithetical to the core principle that all persons, regardless of gender, race, religion, or ethnicity, are created equal; (2) expresses sincere sympathy and regret to the descendants of individuals whose citizenship was revoked under section 3 of the Expatriation Act of 1907, who suffered injustice, humiliation, and inequality, and who were deprived of constitutional protections accorded to all citizens of the United States; and (3) reaffirms the commitment to preserving civil rights and constitutional protections for all people of the United States.",

RES. 404 IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES March 27, 2014 Mr. Menendez (for himself, Mr. Reid , Mrs. Boxer , Mr. Heinrich , Mr. Bennet , Mr. Udall of New Mexico , Mrs. Feinstein , Mr. Leahy , Mr. Udall of Colorado , Ms. Stabenow , Mr. Levin , Mr. Durbin , and Ms. Warren ) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary RESOLUTION A resolution honoring the accomplishments and legacy of César Estrada Chávez.\n\nWhereas César Estrada Chávez was born on March 31, 1927, near Yuma, Arizona; Whereas César Estrada Chávez spent his early years on a family farm; Whereas at the age of 10, César Estrada Chávez joined the thousands of migrant farm workers laboring in fields and vineyards throughout the Southwest after a bank foreclosure resulted in the loss of the family farm; Whereas César Estrada Chávez, after attending more than 30 elementary and middle schools and achieving an eighth grade education, left school to work full time as a farm worker to help support his family; Whereas at the age of 17, César Estrada Chávez entered the United States Navy and served the United States with distinction for 2 years; Whereas in 1948, César Estrada Chávez returned from military service to marry Helen Fabela, whom he had met while working in the vineyards of central California; Whereas César Estrada Chávez and Helen Fabela had 8 children; Whereas, as early as 1949, César Estrada Chávez was committed to organizing farm workers to campaign for safe and fair working conditions, reasonable wages, livable housing, and outlawing child labor; Whereas in 1952, César Estrada Chávez joined the Community Service Organization, a prominent Latino civil rights group, and worked with the organization to coordinate voter registration drives and conduct campaigns against discrimination in East Los Angeles; Whereas César Estrada Chávez served as the national director of the Community Service Organization; Whereas in 1962, César Estrada Chávez left the Community Service Organization to establish the National Farm Workers Association, which eventually became the United Farm Workers of America; Whereas under the leadership of César Estrada Chávez, the United Farm Workers of America organized thousands of migrant farm workers to fight for fair wages, health care coverage, pension benefits, livable housing, and respect; Whereas César Estrada Chávez was a strong believer in the principles of nonviolence practiced by Mahatma Gandhi and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.; Whereas César Estrada Chávez effectively used peaceful tactics that included fasting for 25 days in 1968, 25 days in 1972, and 38 days in 1988 to call attention to the terrible working and living conditions of farm workers in the United States; Whereas through his commitment to nonviolence, César Estrada Chávez brought dignity and respect to organized farm workers and became an inspiration to and a resource for individuals engaged in human rights struggles throughout the world; Whereas the influence of César Estrada Chávez extends far beyond agriculture and provides inspiration for individuals working to better human rights, empower workers, and advance the American Dream, which includes all individuals of the United States; Whereas César Estrada Chávez died on April 23, 1993, at the age of 66 in San Luis, Arizona, only miles from his birthplace; Whereas more than 50,000 people attended the funeral services of César Estrada Chávez in Delano, California; Whereas César Estrada Chávez was laid to rest at the headquarters of the United Farm Workers of America, known as Nuestra Señora de La Paz, located in the Tehachapi Mountains in Keene, California; Whereas since the death of César Estrada Chávez, schools, parks, streets, libraries, and other public facilities, as well as awards and scholarships, have been named in his honor; Whereas more than 10 States and dozens of communities across the United States honor the life and legacy of César Estrada Chávez each year on March 31; Whereas March 31 is recognized as an official State holiday in California, Colorado, and Texas, and there is growing support to designate the birthday of César Estrada Chávez as a national day of service to memorialize his heroism; Whereas during his lifetime, César Estrada Chávez was a recipient of the Martin Luther King, Jr., Peace Prize; Whereas, on August 8, 1994, César Estrada Chávez was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom; Whereas, on October 8, 2012, President Barack Obama authorized the Secretary of the Interior to establish a César Estrada Chávez National Monument in Keene, California; Whereas President Barack Obama honored the life and service of César Estrada Chávez by proclaiming March 31, 2013, to be César Chávez Day and by asking all people of the United States to observe March 31 with service, community, and education programs to honor the enduring legacy of César Estrada Chávez; and Whereas the United States should continue the efforts of César Estrada Chávez to ensure equality, justice, and dignity for all people of the United States: Now, therefore, be it\n\nThat the Senate— (1) recognizes the accomplishments and example of César Estrada Chávez, a great hero of the United States; (2) pledges to promote the legacy of César Estrada Chávez; and (3) encourages the people of the United States to commemorate the legacy of César Estrada Chávez and to always remember his great rallying cry: ¡Sí, se puede! , which is Spanish for Yes, we can! .",

RES. 405 IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES March 31, 2014 Mrs. Murray (for herself, Mr. Blunt , Mr. Menendez , Mr. Johnson of South Dakota , and Mr. Schatz ) submitted the following resolution; which was considered and agreed to RESOLUTION Expressing support for the designation of the week of March 31 through April 4, 2014, as National Assistant Principals Week .\n\nWhereas the National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP) and the National Association of Elementary School Principals have designated the week of March 31 through April 4, 2014, as National Assistant Principals Week ; Whereas an assistant principal, as a member of the school administration, interacts with many sectors of the school community, including support staff, instructional staff, students, and parents; Whereas assistant principals are responsible for establishing a positive learning environment and building strong relationships between school and community; Whereas assistant principals play a pivotal role in the instructional leadership of their schools by supervising student instruction, mentoring teachers, recognizing the achievements of staff, encouraging collaboration among staff, ensuring the implementation of best practices, monitoring student achievement and progress, facilitating and modeling data-driven decision-making to inform instruction, and guiding the direction of targeted intervention and school improvement; Whereas the day-to-day logistical operations of schools require assistant principals to monitor and address facility needs, attendance, transportation issues, and scheduling challenges, as well as supervise extra- and co-curricular events; Whereas assistant principals are entrusted with maintaining an inviting, safe, and orderly school environment that supports the growth and achievement of each and every student by nurturing positive peer relationships, recognizing student achievement, mediating conflicts, analyzing behavior patterns, providing interventions, and, when necessary, taking disciplinary actions; Whereas since its establishment in 2004, the NASSP/Virco National Assistant Principal of the Year Program recognizes outstanding middle and high school assistant principals who demonstrate success in leadership, curriculum, and personalization; and Whereas the week of March 31 through April 4, 2014, is an appropriate week to designate as National Assistant Principals Week: Now, therefore, be it\n\nThat the Senate— (1) supports the designation of March 31 through April 4, 2014, as National Assistant Principals Week ; (2) honors the contributions of assistant principals to the success of students in the United States; and (3) encourages the people of the United States to observe National Assistant Principals Week with appropriate ceremonies and activities that promote awareness of the role played by assistant principals in school leadership and ensuring that every child has access to a high-quality education.",

Denton III, William C. Denton, Donald A. Denton, James S. Denton, Michael C. Denton, Madeleine D. Doak, and Mary D. Lewis; Whereas Senator Denton had a distinguished military career as a Naval Aviator— (1) receiving credit in 1957 as the architect of the Haystack Concept , which revolutionized the way in which the Navy deployed ships to ensure that a single Russian nuclear attack could not destroy an entire fleet; (2) serving in World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War; (3) providing significant support during the Cuban Missile Crisis as the Commander of the Guantanamo Defense Force; (4) receiving awards that include the Navy Cross, the Defense Distinguished Service Medal, the Navy Distinguished Service Medal, 3 Silver Stars, the Distinguished Flying Cross, 5 Bronze Stars, 2 Air Medals, 2 Purple Hearts, and numerous combat theater and campaign awards; (5) retiring in 1977 at the rank of Rear Admiral after serving as Commandant of the Armed Forces Staff College; and (6) being inducted into the Alabama Military Hall of Honor in 2003; Whereas Senator Denton was shot down on July 18, 1965, while leading a squadron of 28 A-6 Intruders on his twelfth mission over North Vietnam and spent the next 7 years and 7 months as a prisoner of war in North Vietnamese prison camps, including the Hanoi Hilton , where he suffered torture, beatings, and starvation, and spent 4 years in solitary confinement until his release in 1973; Whereas despite extreme hardship, Senator Denton was revered by his fellow prisoners and maintained a chain of command that lasted throughout his imprisonment and helped prisoners of war stick together in resistance against abuse from their captors; Whereas in a televised propaganda interview released by the North Vietnamese in 1966, Senator Denton became a national hero when he answered the questions of his interviewer and simultaneously blinked the letters T-O-R-T-U-R-E in Morse code, confirming to the world the harsh and inhumane treatment of United States prisoners of war by the North Vietnamese; Whereas after returning to the United States, Senator Denton had a successful legislative career, becoming in 1980 the first Republican elected to the Senate from Alabama since the Reconstruction Era, maintaining a strong conservative record, and working tirelessly with President Ronald Reagan to combat the rise of Communism in Latin America; Whereas Senator Denton was particularly proud of the Denton Program , authorizing the United States military to carry humanitarian aid on a space-available basis to countries in need at no cost to the donor and providing humanitarian aid for almost 30 years; Whereas in 2007, the National Archives designated Senator Denton as 1 of the 25 most influential men in United States history; and Whereas the life of service of Senator Denton should serve as an example to all people of the United States: Now, therefore, be it\n\nThat— (1) the Senate— (A) has heard with profound sorrow and deep regret the announcement of the death of the Honorable Jeremiah Andrew Denton, Jr., former member of the Senate; (B) honors the legacy and service of the former Senator and retired Rear Admiral, Jeremiah Andrew Denton Jr. (referred to in this resolution as Senator Denton ), for his life of loyalty, duty, integrity, and moral sincerity; (C) extends its deepest condolences and sympathy to the family and friends of Senator Denton who have lost an inspiring leader and confidant; (D) honors the dauntless valor of Senator Denton, beloved son of Alabama, for his dedication and life of selfless service to the people of the United States; (E) recognizes that Senator Denton was a champion for humanitarian aid and international assistance programs through his legislative work and initiatives; (F) reiterates the resolute character of Senator Denton as a paragon of bravery who lived a life of honor guided by his values and commitment to the defense of the United States; (G) expresses admiration and profound respect for the legacy of Senator Denton as a truly courageous and inspirational leader; and (H) directs the Secretary of the Senate to communicate this resolution to the House of Representatives and transmit an enrolled copy thereof to the family of the deceased; and (2) when the Senate adjourns today, it will stand adjourned as a further mark of respect for the memory of the Honorable Jeremiah Andrew Denton, Jr.",

RES. 408 IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES April 1, 2014 Ms. Stabenow (for herself, Mr. Udall of Colorado , Mr. Johanns , and Mr. Isakson ) submitted the following resolution; which was considered and agreed to RESOLUTION Supporting the designation of April as Parkinson’s Awareness Month .\n\nWhereas Parkinson’s disease is a chronic, progressive, and neurological disease and is the second most common neurodegenerative disease in the United States; Whereas there is inadequate data on the incidence and prevalence of Parkinson’s disease, but the disease affects an estimated 500,000 to 1,500,000 individuals in the United States and the prevalence of such disease is estimated to more than double by 2040; Whereas according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Parkinson’s disease is the 14th leading cause of death in the United States and the age-adjusted death rate for individuals with Parkinson's disease increased 2.9 percent from 2010 to 2011; Whereas every day, Parkinson's disease greatly impacts millions of individuals in the United States who are caregivers, family members, and friends of individuals with Parkinson's disease; Whereas the economic burden of Parkinson’s disease is an estimated $14,400,000,000 each year, including indirect costs to patients and family members of $6,300,000,000 each year; Whereas although research suggests that the cause of Parkinson’s disease is a combination of genetic and environmental factors, the exact cause and the exact progression of the disease remain unknown; Whereas an objective test or biomarker for diagnosing Parkinson’s disease does not exist, and the rate of misdiagnosis for the disease is high; Whereas the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease vary from person to person and include tremors, slowness of movement, rigidity, difficulty with balance, swallowing, chewing, and speaking, cognitive impairment, dementia, mood disorders (such as depression and anxiety), constipation, skin complications, and sleep difficulties; Whereas a cure, therapy, or drug to slow or halt the progression of Parkinson’s disease does not exist; Whereas medications mask some symptoms of Parkinson’s disease for a limited amount of time each day, often with dose-limiting side effects, and such medications ultimately lose effectiveness, leaving the patient unable to move, speak, or swallow; and Whereas developing more effective treatments for Parkinson's disease with fewer side effects and ultimately finding a cure for the disease require increased education and research: Now, therefore, be it\n\nThat the Senate— (1) supports the designation of April as Parkinson's Awareness Month ; (2) supports the goals and ideals of Parkinson's Awareness Month ; (3) continues to support research to develop more effective treatments for Parkinson's disease and to ultimately find a cure for the disease; and (4) commends the dedication of State, local, regional, and national organizations, volunteers, researchers, and millions of individuals in the United States working to improve the quality of life for individuals with Parkinson's disease and the families of such individuals.",

Whereas, in April 2011, the month of remembrance of the Armenian Genocide, the Government of the Republic of Turkey demolished a 100-foot-high statue in the city of Kars which was erected to promote reconciliation with Armenia; Whereas the denial of the Armenian Genocide by the Government of the Republic of Turkey has prevented the meaningful advancement of a constructive political, economic, and security relationship between Armenia and Turkey; and Whereas the teaching, recognition, and commemoration of acts of genocide and other crimes against humanity is essential to preventing the re-occurrence of similar atrocities: Now, therefore, be it\n\nThat it is the sense of the Senate— (1) to remember and observe the anniversary of the Armenian Genocide on April 24, 2014; and (2) that the President should work toward an equitable, constructive, stable, and durable Armenian-Turkish relationship that includes the full acknowledgment by the Government of the Republic of Turkey of the facts about the Armenian Genocide; and (3) (2) that the President should ensure that the foreign policy of the United States reflects appropriate understanding and sensitivity concerning issues related to human rights, crimes against humanity, ethnic cleansing, and genocide documented in the United States record relating to the Armenian Genocide.\n\nApril 11, 2014 Reported with amendments and amendments to the preamble",

RES. 412 IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES April 7, 2014 Mr. Menendez (for himself, Mr. Rubio , Mr. Cardin , Mr. McCain , and Mr. Risch ) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations RESOLUTION Reaffirming the strong support of the United States Government for freedom of navigation and other internationally lawful uses of sea and airspace in the Asia-Pacific region, and for the peaceful diplomatic resolution of outstanding territorial and maritime claims and disputes.\n\nWhereas Asia-Pacific’s maritime domains, which include both the sea and airspace above the domains, are critical to the region’s prosperity, stability, and security, including global commerce; Whereas the United States is a longstanding Asia-Pacific power and has a national interest in maintaining freedom of operations in international waters and airspace both in the Asia-Pacific region and around the world; Whereas, for over 60 years, the United States Government, alongside United States allies and partners, has played an instrumental role in maintaining stability in the Asia-Pacific, including safeguarding the prosperity and economic growth and development of the Asia-Pacific region; Whereas the United States, from the earliest days of the Republic, has had a deep and abiding national security interest in freedom of navigation, freedom of the seas, respect for international law, and unimpeded lawful commerce, including in the East China and South China Seas; Whereas the United States alliance relationships in the region, including with Japan, Korea, Australia, the Philippines, and Thailand, are at the heart of United States policy and engagement in the Asia-Pacific region, and share a common approach to supporting the maintenance of peace and stability, freedom of navigation, and other internationally lawful uses of sea and airspace in the Asia-Pacific region; Whereas territorial and maritime claims must be derived from land features and otherwise comport with international law; Whereas the United States Government has a clear interest in encouraging and supporting the nations of the region to work collaboratively and diplomatically to resolve disputes and is firmly opposed to coercion, intimidation, threats, or the use of force; Whereas the South China Sea contains great natural resources, and their stewardship and responsible use offers immense potential benefit for generations to come; Whereas the United States is not a claimant party in either the East China or South China Seas, but does have an interest in the peaceful diplomatic resolution of disputed claims in accordance with international law, in freedom of operations, and in the free-flow of commerce free of coercion, intimidation, or the use of force; Whereas the United States supports the obligation of all members of the United Nations to seek to resolve disputes by peaceful means; Whereas freedom of navigation and other lawful uses of sea and airspace in the Asia-Pacific region are embodied in international law, not granted by certain states to others; Whereas, on November 23, 2013, the People’s Republic of China unilaterally and without prior consultations with the United States, Japan, the Republic of Korea or other nations of the Asia-Pacific region, declared an Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ) in the East China Sea, also announcing that all aircraft entering the PRC’s self-declared ADIZ, even if they do not intend to enter Chinese territorial airspace, would have to submit flight plans, maintain radio contact, and follow directions from the Chinese Ministry of National Defense or face emergency defensive measures ; Whereas the rules of engagement declared by China, including the emergency defensive measures , are in violation of the concept of “due regard for the safety of civil aviation” under the Chicago Convention of the International Civil Aviation Organization’s Chicago Convention and thereby are a departure from accepted practice; Whereas the Chicago Convention of the International Civil Aviation Organization distinguishes between civilian aircraft and state aircraft and provides for the specific obligations of state parties, consistent with customary law, to refrain from resorting to the use of weapons against civil aircraft in flight and … in case of interception, the lives of persons on board and the safety of aircraft must not be endangered ; Whereas international civil aviation is regulated by international agreements, including standards and regulations set by ICAO for aviation safety, security, efficiency and regularity, as well as for aviation environmental protection; Whereas, in accordance with the norm of airborne innocent passage, the United States does not recognize the right of a coastal nation to apply its ADIZ procedures to foreign state aircraft not intending to enter national airspace nor does the United States apply its ADIZ procedures to foreign state aircraft not intending to enter United States airspace; Whereas the United States Government expressed profound concerns with China’s unilateral, provocative, dangerous, and destabilizing declaration of such a zone, including the potential for misunderstandings and miscalculations by aircraft operating lawfully in international airspace; Whereas the People's Republic of China's declaration of an ADIZ in the East China Sea will not alter how the United States Government conducts operations in the region or the unwavering United States commitment to peace, security and stability in the Asia-Pacific region; Whereas the Government of Japan expressed deep concern about the People's Republic of China’s declaration of such a zone, regarding it as an effort to unduly infringe upon the freedom of flight in international airspace and to change the status quo that could escalate tensions and potentially cause unintentional consequences in the East China Sea; Whereas the Government of the Republic of Korea has expressed concern over China’s declared ADIZ, and on December 9, 2013, announced an adjustment to its longstanding Air Defense Identification Zone, which does not encompass territory administered by another country, and did so only after undertaking a deliberate process of consultations with the United States, Japan, and China; Whereas the Government of the Philippines has stressed that China’s declared ADIZ seeks to transfer an entire air zone into Chinese domestic airspace, infringes on freedom of flight in international airspace, and compromises the safety of civil aviation and the national security of affected states, and has called on China to ensure that its actions do not jeopardize regional security and stability; Whereas, on November 26, 2013, the Government of Australia made clear in a statement its opposition to any coercive or unilateral actions to change the status quo in the East China Sea; Whereas, on March 10, 2014, the United States Government and the Government of Japan jointly submitted a letter to the ICAO Secretariat regarding the issue of freedom of overflight by civil aircraft in international airspace and the effective management of civil air traffic within allocated Flight Information Regions (FIR); Whereas Indonesia Foreign Minister Marty Natalegawa, in a hearing before the Committee on Defense and Foreign Affairs on February 18, 2014, stated, We have firmly told China we will not accept a similar [Air Defense Identification] Zone if it is adopted in the South China Sea. And the signal we have received thus far is, China does not plan to adopt a similar Zone in the South China Sea. ; Whereas over half the world’s merchant tonnage flows through the South China Sea, and over 15,000,000 barrels of oil per day transit the Strait of Malacca, fueling economic growth and prosperity throughout the Asia-Pacific region; Whereas the increasing frequency and assertiveness of patrols and competing regulations over disputed territory and maritime areas and airspace in the South China Sea and the East China Sea are raising tensions and increasing the risk of confrontation; Whereas the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) has promoted multilateral talks on disputed areas without settling the issue of sovereignty, and in 2002 joined with China in signing a Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea that committed all parties to those territorial disputes to reaffirm their respect for and commitment to the freedom of navigation in and over flight above the South China Sea as provided for by the universally recognized principles of international law and to resolve their territorial and jurisdictional disputes by peaceful means, without resorting to the threat or use of force ; Whereas ASEAN and China committed in 2002 to develop an effective Code of Conduct when they adopted the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea, yet negotiations are irregular and little progress has been made; Whereas, in recent years, there have been numerous dangerous and destabilizing incidents in waters near the coasts of the Philippines, China, Malaysia, and Vietnam; Whereas the United States Government is deeply concerned about unilateral actions by any claimant seeking to change the status quo through the use of coercion, intimidation, or military force, including the continued restrictions on access to Scarborough Reef and pressure on long-standing Philippine presence at the Second Thomas Shoal by the People’s Republic of China; actions by any state to prevent any other state from exercising its sovereign rights to the resources of the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) and continental shelf by making claims to those areas that have no support in international law; declarations of administrative and military districts in contested areas in the South China Sea; and the imposition of new fishing regulations covering disputed areas, which have raised tensions in the region; Whereas international law is important to safeguard the rights and freedoms of all states in the Asia-Pacific region, and the lack of clarity in accordance with international law by claimants with regard to their South China Sea claims can create uncertainty, insecurity, and instability; Whereas the United States Government opposes the use of intimidation, coercion, or force to assert a territorial claim in the South China Sea; Whereas claims in the South China Sea must accord with international law, and those that are not derived from land features are fundamentally flawed; Whereas ASEAN issued Six-Point Principles on the South China Sea on July 20, 2012, whereby ASEAN’s Foreign Ministers reiterated and reaffirmed the commitment of ASEAN Member States to: … 1. the full implementation of the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea (2002); … 2. the Guidelines for the Implementation of the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea (2011); … 3. the early conclusion of a Regional Code of Conduct in the South China Sea; … 4. the full respect of the universally recognized principles of International Law, including the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS); … 5. the continued exercise of self-restraint and non-use of force by all parties; and … 6. the peaceful resolution of disputes, in accordance with universally recognized principles of International Law, including the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). ; Whereas, in 2013, the Republic of the Philippines properly exercised its rights to peaceful settlement mechanisms with the filing of arbitration case under Article 287 and Annex VII of the Convention on the Law of the Sea in order to achieve a peaceful and durable solution to the dispute, and the United States hopes that all parties in any dispute ultimately abide by the rulings of internationally recognized dispute-settlement bodies; Whereas China and Japan are the world’s second and third largest economies, and have a shared interest in preserving stable maritime domains to continue to support economic growth; Whereas there has been an unprecedented increase in dangerous activities by Chinese maritime agencies in areas near the Senkaku islands, including between 6 and 25 ships of the Government of China intruding into the Japanese territorial sea each month since September 2012, between 26 and 124 ships entering the “contiguous zone” in the same time period, and 9 ships intruding into the territorial sea and 33 ships entering in the contiguous zone in February 2014; Whereas, although the United States Government does not take a position on the ultimate sovereignty of the Senkaku Islands, the United States Government acknowledges that they are under the administration of Japan and opposes any unilateral actions that would seek to undermine such administration; Whereas the United States Senate has previously affirmed that the unilateral actions of a third party will not affect the United States acknowledgment of the administration of Japan over the Senkaku Islands; Whereas the United States remains committed under the Treaty of Mutual Cooperation and Security to respond to any armed attack in the territories under the administration of Japan, has urged all parties to take steps to prevent incidents and manage disagreements through peaceful means, and commends the Government of Japan for its restrained approach in this regard; Whereas both the United States and the People's Republic of China are parties to and are obligated to observe the rules of the Convention on the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea, done at London October 12, 1972 (COLREGs); Whereas, on December 5, 2013, the USS Cowpens was lawfully operating in international waters in the South China Sea when a People's Liberation Army Navy vessel reportedly crossed its bow at a distance of less than 500 yards and stopped in the water, forcing the USS Cowpens to take evasive action to avoid a collision; Whereas the reported actions taken by the People's Liberation Army Navy vessel in the USS Cowpens’ incident, as publicly reported, appear contrary to the international legal obligations of the People's Republic of China under COLREGs; Whereas, on January 19, 1998, the United States and People’s Republic of China signed the Military Maritime Consultative Agreement, creating a mechanism for consultation and coordination on operational safety issues in the maritime domain between the United States and the People’s Republic of China; Whereas the Western Pacific Naval Symposium, inaugurated in 1988 and comprising the navies of Australia, Brunei, Cambodia, Canada, Chile, France, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, the People's Republic of China, the Philippines, the Republic of Korea, the Russian Federation, Singapore, Thailand, Tonga, the United States, and Vietnam, whose countries all border the Pacific Ocean region, provides a forum where leaders of regional navies can meet to discuss cooperative initiatives, discuss regional and global maritime issues, and undertake exercises to strengthen norms and practices that contribute to operational safety, including protocols for unexpected encounters at sea, common ways of communication, common ways of operating, and common ways of engagement; Whereas, Japan and the People’s Republic of China sought to negotiate a Maritime Communications Mechanism between the defense authorities and a Maritime Search and Rescue Agreement and agreed in principle to these agreements to address operational safety on the maritime domains but failed to sign them; Whereas the Changi Command and Control Center in Singapore provides a platform for all the countries of the Western Pacific to share information on what kind of contact at sea and to provide a common operational picture for the region; Whereas 2014 commemorates the 35th anniversary of normalization of diplomatic relations between the United States and the People’s Republic of China, and the United States welcomes the development of a peaceful and prosperous China that becomes a responsible international stakeholder, the government of which respects international norms, international laws, international institutions, and international rules; enhances security and peace; and seeks to advance relations between the United States and China; and Whereas ASEAN plays an important role, in partnership with others in the regional and international community, in addressing maritime security issues in the Asia-Pacific region and the Indian Ocean, including open access to the maritime domain of Asia; Now, therefore, be it\n\n1. Sense of the Senate The Senate— (1) condemns coercive and threatening actions or the use of force to impede freedom of operations in international airspace by military or civilian aircraft, to alter the status quo or to destabilize the Asia-Pacific region; (2) urges the Government of the People’s Republic of China to refrain from implementing the declared East China Sea Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ), which is contrary to freedom of overflight in international airspace, and to refrain from taking similar provocative actions elsewhere in the Asia-Pacific region; and (3) commends the Governments of Japan and of the Republic of Korea for their restraint, and commends the Government of the Republic of Korea for engaging in a deliberate process of consultations with the United States, Japan and China prior to announcing its adjustment of its Air Defense Identification Zone on December 9, 2013, and for its commitment to implement this adjusted Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ) in a manner consistent with international practice and respect for the freedom of overflight and other internationally lawful uses of international airspace. 2. Statement of Policy It is the policy of the United States to— (1) reaffirm its unwavering commitment and support for allies and partners in the Asia-Pacific region, including longstanding United States policy regarding Article V of the United States-Philippines Mutual Defense Treaty and that Article V of the United States-Japan Mutual Defense Treaty applies to the Japanese-administered Senkaku Islands; (2) oppose claims that impinge on the rights, freedoms, and lawful use of the sea that belong to all nations; (3) urge all parties to refrain from engaging in destabilizing activities, including illegal occupation or efforts to unlawfully assert administration over disputed claims; (4) ensure that disputes are managed without intimidation, coercion, or force; (5) call on all claimants to clarify or adjust claims in accordance with international law; (6) support efforts by ASEAN and the People's Republic of China to develop an effective Code of Conduct, including the early harvest of agreed-upon elements in the Code of Conduct that can be implemented immediately; (7) reaffirm that an existing body of international rules and guidelines, including the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea, done at London October 12, 1972 (COLREGs), is sufficient to ensure the safety of navigation between the United States Armed Forces and the forces of other countries, including the People’s Republic of China; (8) support the development of regional institutions and bodies, including the ASEAN Regional Forum, the ASEAN Defense Minister’s Meeting Plus, the East Asia Summit, and the expanded ASEAN Maritime Forum, to build practical cooperation in the region and reinforce the role of international law; (9) encourage the adoption of mechanisms such as hotlines or emergency procedures for preventing incidents in sensitive areas, managing them if they occur, and preventing disputes from escalating; (10) fully support the rights of claimants to exercise rights they may have to avail themselves of peaceful dispute settlement mechanisms; (11) encourage claimants not to undertake new unilateral attempts to change the status quo since the signing of the 2002 Declaration of Conduct, including not asserting administrative measures or controls in disputed areas in the South China Sea; (12) encourage the deepening of partnerships with other countries in the region for maritime domain awareness and capacity building, as well as efforts by the United States Government to explore the development of appropriate multilateral mechanisms for a common operating picture in the South China Sea that would serve to help countries avoid destabilizing behavior and deter risky and dangerous activities; and (13) assure the continuity of operations by the United States in the Asia-Pacific region, including, when appropriate, in cooperation with partners and allies, to reaffirm the principle of freedom of operations in international waters and airspace in accordance with established principles and practices of international law.",

Article\n\t\t\t 287 and Annex VII of the Convention on the Law of the Sea in order to\n\t\t\t achieve a peaceful and durable solution to the dispute, and the United\n\t\t\t States hopes that all parties in any dispute ultimately abide by the\n\t\t\t rulings of internationally recognized dispute-settlement bodies;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas China and Japan are the

period, and 9 ships intruding into the\n\t\t\t territorial sea and 33 ships entering in the contiguous zone in February\n\t\t\t 2014;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas, although the United States Government does not take a position on the ultimate sovereignty\n\t\t\t of the Senkaku Islands, the United States Government acknowledges that\n\t\t\t they are under the administration of Japan and opposes any unilateral\n\t\t\t actions that would seek to undermine such administration;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas the United States Senate has

its\n\t\t\t restrained approach in this regard;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas both the United States and the People's Republic of China are parties to and are obligated\n\t\t\t to observe the rules\n\t\t\t of the Convention on the International Regulations for Preventing\n\t\t\t Collisions at Sea, done at London October 12, 1972 (COLREGs);\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas, on December 5, 2013, the USS Cowpens was lawfully operating in international waters in\n\t\t\t the South China Sea when a People's Liberation Army Navy vessel reportedly\n\t\t\t crossed its bow at\n\t\t\t a distance of less than 500 yards and stopped in the water, forcing the\n\t\t\t USS Cowpens to take evasive action to avoid a collision;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas the reported actions taken by the People's Liberation Army Navy vessel in the\n\t\t\t USS Cowpens’ incident, as\n\t\t\t publicly reported, appear contrary to the\n\t\t\t international legal\n\t\t\t obligations of the People's Republic of China under COLREGs;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas, on January 19, 1998, the United States and

ways of engagement;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas, Japan and the People’s Republic of China sought to negotiate a\n\t\t\t Maritime Communications Mechanism between the defense

RES. 412 IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES April 7, 2014 Mr. Menendez (for himself, Mr. Rubio , Mr. Cardin , Mr. McCain , Mr. Risch , and Mr. Leahy ) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations May 20, 2014 Reported by Mr. Menendez , with amendments and an amendment to the preamble Omit the part struck through and insert the part printed in italic RESOLUTION Reaffirming the strong support of the United States Government for freedom of navigation and other internationally lawful uses of sea and airspace in the Asia-Pacific region, and for the peaceful diplomatic resolution of outstanding territorial and maritime claims and disputes.\n\nWhereas Asia-Pacific’s maritime domains, which include both the sea and airspace above the domains, are critical to the region’s prosperity, stability, and security, including global commerce; Whereas the United States is a longstanding Asia-Pacific power and has a national interest in maintaining freedom of operations in international waters and airspace both in the Asia-Pacific region and around the world; Whereas, for over 60 years, the United States Government, alongside United States allies and partners, has played an instrumental role in maintaining stability in the Asia-Pacific, including safeguarding the prosperity and economic growth and development of the Asia-Pacific region; Whereas the United States, from the earliest days of the Republic, has had a deep and abiding national security interest in freedom of navigation, freedom of the seas, respect for international law, and unimpeded lawful commerce, including in the East China and South China Seas; Whereas the United States alliance relationships in the region, including with Japan, Korea, Australia, the Philippines, and Thailand, are at the heart of United States policy and engagement in the Asia-Pacific region, and share a common approach to supporting the maintenance of peace and stability, freedom of navigation, and other internationally lawful uses of sea and airspace in the Asia-Pacific region; Whereas territorial and maritime claims must be derived from land features and otherwise comport with international law; Whereas the United States Government has a clear interest in encouraging and supporting the nations of the region to work collaboratively and diplomatically to resolve disputes and is firmly opposed to coercion, intimidation, threats, or the use of force; Whereas the South China Sea contains great natural resources, and their stewardship and responsible use offers immense potential benefit for generations to come; Whereas the United States is not a claimant party in either the East China or South China Seas, but does have an interest in the peaceful diplomatic resolution of disputed claims in accordance with international law, in freedom of operations, and in the free-flow of commerce free of coercion, intimidation, or the use of force; Whereas the United States supports the obligation of all members of the United Nations to seek to resolve disputes by peaceful means; Whereas freedom of navigation and other lawful uses of sea and airspace in the Asia-Pacific region are embodied in international law, not granted by certain states to others; Whereas, on November 23, 2013, the People’s Republic of China unilaterally and without prior consultations with the United States, Japan, the Republic of Korea or other nations of the Asia-Pacific region, declared an Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ) in the East China Sea, also announcing that all aircraft entering the PRC’s self-declared ADIZ, even if they do not intend to enter Chinese territorial airspace, would have to submit flight plans, maintain radio contact, and follow directions from the Chinese Ministry of National Defense or face emergency defensive measures ; Whereas the rules of engagement declared by China, including the emergency defensive measures , are in violation of the concept of “due regard for the safety of civil aviation” under the Chicago Convention of the International Civil Aviation Organization’s Chicago Convention and thereby are a departure from accepted practice; Whereas the Chicago Convention of the International Civil Aviation Organization distinguishes between civilian aircraft and state aircraft and provides for the specific obligations of state parties, consistent with customary law, to refrain from resorting to the use of weapons against civil aircraft in flight and … in case of interception, the lives of persons on board and the safety of aircraft must not be endangered ; Whereas international civil aviation is regulated by international agreements, including standards and regulations set by ICAO for aviation safety, security, efficiency and regularity, as well as for aviation environmental protection; Whereas, in accordance with the norm of airborne innocent passage, the United States does not recognize the right of a coastal nation to apply its ADIZ procedures to foreign state aircraft not intending to enter national airspace nor does the United States apply its ADIZ procedures to foreign state aircraft not intending to enter United States airspace; Whereas the United States Government expressed profound concerns with China’s unilateral, provocative, dangerous, and destabilizing declaration of such a zone, including the potential for misunderstandings and miscalculations by aircraft operating lawfully in international airspace; Whereas the People's Republic of China's declaration of an ADIZ in the East China Sea will not alter how the United States Government conducts operations in the region or the unwavering United States commitment to peace, security and stability in the Asia-Pacific region; Whereas the Government of Japan expressed deep concern about the People's Republic of China’s declaration of such a zone, regarding it as an effort to unduly infringe upon the freedom of flight in international airspace and to change the status quo that could escalate tensions and potentially cause unintentional consequences in the East China Sea; Whereas the Government of the Republic of Korea has expressed concern over China’s declared ADIZ, and on December 9, 2013, announced an adjustment to its longstanding Air Defense Identification Zone, which does not encompass territory administered by another country, and did so only after undertaking a deliberate process of consultations with the United States, Japan, and China; Whereas the Government of the Philippines has stressed that China’s declared ADIZ seeks to transfer an entire air zone into Chinese domestic airspace, infringes on freedom of flight in international airspace, and compromises the safety of civil aviation and the national security of affected states, and has called on China to ensure that its actions do not jeopardize regional security and stability; Whereas, on November 26, 2013, the Government of Australia made clear in a statement its opposition to any coercive or unilateral actions to change the status quo in the East China Sea; Whereas, on March 10, 2014, the United States Government and the Government of Japan jointly submitted a letter to the ICAO Secretariat regarding the issue of freedom of overflight by civil aircraft in international airspace and the effective management of civil air traffic within allocated Flight Information Regions (FIR); Whereas Indonesia Foreign Minister Marty Natalegawa, in a hearing before the Committee on Defense and Foreign Affairs on February 18, 2014, stated, We have firmly told China we will not accept a similar [Air Defense Identification] Zone if it is adopted in the South China Sea. And the signal we have received thus far is, China does not plan to adopt a similar Zone in the South China Sea. ; Whereas over half the world’s merchant tonnage flows through the South China Sea, and over 15,000,000 barrels of oil per day transit the Strait of Malacca, fueling economic growth and prosperity throughout the Asia-Pacific region; Whereas the increasing frequency and assertiveness of patrols and competing regulations over disputed territory and maritime areas and airspace in the South China Sea and the East China Sea are raising tensions and increasing the risk of confrontation; Whereas the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) has promoted multilateral talks on disputed areas without settling the issue of sovereignty, and in 2002 joined with China in signing a Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea that committed all parties to those territorial disputes to reaffirm their respect for and commitment to the freedom of navigation in and over flight above the South China Sea as provided for by the universally recognized principles of international law and to resolve their territorial and jurisdictional disputes by peaceful means, without resorting to the threat or use of force ; Whereas ASEAN and China committed in 2002 to develop an effective Code of Conduct when they adopted the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea, yet negotiations are irregular and little progress has been made; Whereas, in recent years, there have been numerous dangerous and destabilizing incidents in waters near the coasts of the Philippines, China, Malaysia, and Vietnam; Whereas the United States Government is deeply concerned about unilateral actions by any claimant seeking to change the status quo through the use of coercion, intimidation, or military force, including the continued restrictions on access to Scarborough Reef and pressure on long-standing Philippine presence at the Second Thomas Shoal by the People’s Republic of China; actions by any state to prevent any other state from exercising its sovereign rights to the resources of the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) and continental shelf by making claims to those areas that have no support in international law; declarations of administrative and military districts in contested areas in the South China Sea; and the imposition of new fishing regulations covering disputed areas, which have raised tensions in the region; Whereas international law is important to safeguard the rights and freedoms of all states in the Asia-Pacific region, and the lack of clarity in accordance with international law by claimants with regard to their South China Sea claims can create uncertainty, insecurity, and instability; Whereas the United States Government opposes the use of intimidation, coercion, or force to assert a territorial claim in the South China Sea; Whereas claims in the South China Sea must accord with international law, and those that are not derived from land features are fundamentally flawed; Whereas ASEAN issued Six-Point Principles on the South China Sea on July 20, 2012, whereby ASEAN’s Foreign Ministers reiterated and reaffirmed the commitment of ASEAN Member States to: … 1. the full implementation of the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea (2002); … 2. the Guidelines for the Implementation of the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea (2011); … 3. the early conclusion of a Regional Code of Conduct in the South China Sea; … 4. the full respect of the universally recognized principles of International Law, including the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS); … 5. the continued exercise of self-restraint and non-use of force by all parties; and … 6. the peaceful resolution of disputes, in accordance with universally recognized principles of International Law, including the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). ; Whereas, in 2013, the Republic of the Philippines properly exercised its rights to peaceful settlement mechanisms with the filing of arbitration case under Article 287 and Annex VII of the Convention on the Law of the Sea in order to achieve a peaceful and durable solution to the dispute, and the United States hopes that all parties in any dispute ultimately abide by the rulings of internationally recognized dispute-settlement bodies; Whereas China and Japan are the world’s second and third largest economies, and have a shared interest in preserving stable maritime domains to continue to support economic growth; Whereas there has been an unprecedented increase in dangerous activities by Chinese maritime agencies in areas near the Senkaku islands, including between 6 and 25 ships of the Government of China intruding into the Japanese territorial sea each month since September 2012, between 26 and 124 ships entering the “contiguous zone” in the same time period, and 9 ships intruding into the territorial sea and 33 ships entering in the contiguous zone in February 2014; Whereas, although the United States Government does not take a position on the ultimate sovereignty of the Senkaku Islands, the United States Government acknowledges that they are under the administration of Japan and opposes any unilateral actions that would seek to undermine such administration; Whereas the United States Senate has previously affirmed that the unilateral actions of a third party will not affect the United States acknowledgment of the administration of Japan over the Senkaku Islands; Whereas the United States remains committed under the Treaty of Mutual Cooperation and Security to respond to any armed attack in the territories under the administration of Japan, has urged all parties to take steps to prevent incidents and manage disagreements through peaceful means, and commends the Government of Japan for its restrained approach in this regard; Whereas both the United States and the People's Republic of China are parties to and are obligated to observe the rules of the Convention on the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea, done at London October 12, 1972 (COLREGs); Whereas, on December 5, 2013, the USS Cowpens was lawfully operating in international waters in the South China Sea when a People's Liberation Army Navy vessel reportedly crossed its bow at a distance of less than 500 yards and stopped in the water, forcing the USS Cowpens to take evasive action to avoid a collision; Whereas the reported actions taken by the People's Liberation Army Navy vessel in the USS Cowpens’ incident, as publicly reported, appear contrary to the international legal obligations of the People's Republic of China under COLREGs; Whereas, on May 1, 2014, the People’s Republic of China’s state-owned energy company, CNOOC, placed its deepwater semi-submersible drilling rig Hai Yang Shi You 981 (HD–981), accompanied by over 25 Chinese ships, in Block 143, 120 nautical miles off Vietnam’s coastline; Whereas, from May 1 to May 9, 2014, the number of Chinese vessels escorting HD–981 increased to more than 80, including seven military ships, which aggressively patrolled and intimidated Vietnamese Coast Guard ships in violation of COLREGS, reportedly intentionally rammed multiple Vietnamese vessels, and used helicopters and water cannons to obstruct others; Whereas, on May 5, 2014, vessels from the Maritime Safety Administration of China (MSAC) established an exclusion zone with a radius of three nautical miles around HD–981, which undermines maritime safety in the area and is in violation of universally recognized principles of International Law, including the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS); Whereas China's territorial claims and associated maritime actions in support of the drilling activity that HD-981 commenced on May 1, 2014, have not been clarified under international law, including as defined by the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, constitute a unilateral attempt to change the status quo by force, and appear to be in violation of the 2002 Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea; Whereas, on January 19, 1998, the United States and People’s Republic of China signed the Military Maritime Consultative Agreement, creating a mechanism for consultation and coordination on operational safety issues in the maritime domain between the United States and the People’s Republic of China; Whereas the Western Pacific Naval Symposium, inaugurated in 1988 and comprising the navies of Australia, Brunei, Cambodia, Canada, Chile, France, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, the People's Republic of China, the Philippines, the Republic of Korea, the Russian Federation, Singapore, Thailand, Tonga, the United States, and Vietnam, whose countries all border the Pacific Ocean region, provides a forum where leaders of regional navies can meet to discuss cooperative initiatives, discuss regional and global maritime issues, and undertake exercises to strengthen norms and practices that contribute to operational safety, including protocols for unexpected encounters at sea, common ways of communication, common ways of operating, and common ways of engagement; Whereas, Japan and the People’s Republic of China sought to negotiate a Maritime Communications Mechanism between the defense authorities and a Maritime Search and Rescue Agreement and agreed in principle to these agreements to address operational safety on the maritime domains but failed to sign them; Whereas the Changi Command and Control Center in Singapore provides a platform for all the countries of the Western Pacific to share information on what kind of contact at sea and to provide a common operational picture for the region; Whereas 2014 commemorates the 35th anniversary of normalization of diplomatic relations between the United States and the People’s Republic of China, and the United States welcomes the development of a peaceful and prosperous China that becomes a responsible international stakeholder, the government of which respects international norms, international laws, international institutions, and international rules; enhances security and peace; and seeks to advance relations between the United States and China; and Whereas ASEAN plays an important role, in partnership with others in the regional and international community, in addressing maritime security issues in the Asia-Pacific region and the Indian Ocean, including open access to the maritime domain of Asia; Now, therefore, be it\n\n1. Sense of the Senate The Senate— (1) condemns coercive and threatening actions or the use of force to impede freedom of operations in international airspace by military or civilian aircraft, to alter the status quo or to destabilize the Asia-Pacific region; (2) urges the Government of the People’s Republic of China to refrain from implementing the declared East China Sea Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ), which is contrary to freedom of overflight in international airspace, and to refrain from taking similar provocative actions elsewhere in the Asia-Pacific region ; and ; (3) commends the Governments of Japan and of the Republic of Korea for their restraint, and commends the Government of the Republic of Korea for engaging in a deliberate process of consultations with the United States, Japan and China prior to announcing its adjustment of its Air Defense Identification Zone on December 9, 2013, and for its commitment to implement this adjusted Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ) in a manner consistent with international practice and respect for the freedom of overflight and other internationally lawful uses of international airspace . ; and (4) calls on the Government of the People's Republic of China to withdraw its HD–981 drilling rig and associated maritime forces from their current positions, to refrain from maritime maneuvers contrary to COLREGS, and to return immediately to the status quo as it existed before May 1, 2014. 2. Statement of Policy It is the policy of the United States to— (1) reaffirm its unwavering commitment and support for allies and partners in the Asia-Pacific region, including longstanding United States policy regarding Article V of the United States-Philippines Mutual Defense Treaty and that Article V of the United States-Japan Mutual Defense Treaty applies to the Japanese-administered Senkaku Islands; (2) oppose claims that impinge on the rights, freedoms, and lawful use of the sea that belong to all nations; (3) urge all parties to refrain from engaging in destabilizing activities, including illegal occupation or efforts to unlawfully assert administration over disputed claims; (4) ensure that disputes are managed without intimidation, coercion, or force; (5) call on all claimants to clarify or adjust claims in accordance with international law; (6) support efforts by ASEAN and the People's Republic of China to develop an effective Code of Conduct, including the early harvest of agreed-upon elements in the Code of Conduct that can be implemented immediately; (7) reaffirm that an existing body of international rules and guidelines, including the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea, done at London October 12, 1972 (COLREGs), is sufficient to ensure the safety of navigation between the United States Armed Forces and the forces of other countries, including the People’s Republic of China; (8) support the development of regional institutions and bodies, including the ASEAN Regional Forum, the ASEAN Defense Minister’s Meeting Plus, the East Asia Summit, and the expanded ASEAN Maritime Forum, to build practical cooperation in the region and reinforce the role of international law; (9) encourage the adoption of mechanisms such as hotlines or emergency procedures for preventing incidents in sensitive areas, managing them if they occur, and preventing disputes from escalating; (10) fully support the rights of claimants to exercise rights they may have to avail themselves of peaceful dispute settlement mechanisms; (11) encourage claimants not to undertake new unilateral attempts to change the status quo since the signing of the 2002 Declaration of Conduct, including not asserting administrative measures or controls in disputed areas in the South China Sea; (12) encourage the deepening of partnerships with other countries in the region for maritime domain awareness and capacity building, as well as efforts by the United States Government to explore the development of appropriate multilateral mechanisms for a common operating picture in the South China Sea that would serve to help countries avoid destabilizing behavior and deter risky and dangerous activities; and (13) assure the continuity of operations by the United States in the Asia-Pacific region, including, when appropriate, in cooperation with partners and allies, to reaffirm the principle of freedom of operations in international waters and airspace in accordance with established principles and practices of international law.\n\nMay 20, 2014 Reported with amendments and an amendment to the preamble",

</official-title>\n </form>\n <preamble>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas Asia-Pacific’s maritime domains, which include both the sea and airspace above the domains,\n\t\t\t are critical to the region’s

interest in\n\t\t\t maintaining freedom of operations in international waters and airspace\n\t\t\t both in the Asia-Pacific region and around the world;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas, for over 60 years, the United States Government, alongside United States allies and\n\t\t\t partners, has played an\n\t\t\t instrumental role in maintaining stability in the Asia-Pacific, including\n\t\t\t safeguarding the prosperity and economic growth and development of the\n\t\t\t Asia-Pacific region;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas the United States, from the earliest days of the Republic, has had a deep and abiding\n\t\t\t national security interest in freedom of navigation, freedom of the seas,\n\t\t\t respect for international law, and unimpeded lawful commerce, including in\n\t\t\t the East China and South China Seas;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas the United States alliance relationships in the region, including with Japan, Korea,\n\t\t\t Australia, the Philippines, and Thailand, are at the heart of United\n\t\t\t States policy and engagement in the Asia-Pacific region, and share a\n\t\t\t common approach to supporting the maintenance of peace and stability,\n\t\t\t freedom of navigation, and other internationally lawful uses of sea and\n\t\t\t airspace in the Asia-Pacific region;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas territorial and maritime claims must be derived from land features and otherwise comport\n\t\t\t with\n\t\t\t international\n\t\t\t law;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas the United States Government has a clear interest in encouraging and supporting the nations\n\t\t\t of the\n\t\t\t region to work collaboratively and diplomatically to resolve disputes\n\t\t\t and is firmly opposed to coercion, intimidation, threats, or the\n\t\t\t use of force;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas the South China Sea contains great natural resources, and their stewardship and responsible\n\t\t\t use offers immense potential benefit for generations to come;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas the United States is not a claimant party in either the East China or South China Seas, but\n\t\t\t does have an interest in the peaceful diplomatic resolution of disputed\n\t\t\t claims in accordance with international law, in freedom of operations, and\n\t\t\t in the free-flow of commerce free of coercion, intimidation, or the use of\n\t\t\t force;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas the United States supports the obligation of all members of the United Nations to seek to\n\t\t\t resolve\n\t\t\t disputes by peaceful means;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas freedom of navigation and other lawful uses of sea and airspace in the Asia-Pacific region\n\t\t\t are embodied in international law, not granted by certain states to\n\t\t\t others;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas, on November 23, 2013, the People’s Republic of China unilaterally and without prior\n\t\t\t consultations with the United States, Japan, the Republic of Korea or\n\t\t\t other nations of the Asia-Pacific region, declared an Air Defense\n\t\t\t Identification Zone (ADIZ) in the East China Sea, also announcing that all\n\t\t\t aircraft entering the PRC’s self-declared ADIZ, even if they do not intend\n\t\t\t to enter Chinese territorial airspace, would have to submit flight plans,\n\t\t\t maintain radio contact, and follow directions from the Chinese Ministry of\n\t\t\t National Defense or face\n <quote>\n emergency defensive measures\n </quote>\n ;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas the\n <quote>\n rules of engagement\n </quote>\n declared by China, including the\n <quote>\n emergency defensive measures\n </quote>\n , are in violation of the concept of “due regard for the safety of civil aviation” under the\n\t\t\t Chicago\n\t\t\t Convention of the International Civil Aviation Organization’s Chicago\n\t\t\t Convention and thereby are a departure from accepted practice;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas the Chicago Convention of the International Civil Aviation Organization distinguishes\n\t\t\t between civilian aircraft and state aircraft and provides for the specific\n\t\t\t obligations of state parties, consistent with customary law, to\n <quote>\n refrain from resorting to the use of weapons against civil aircraft in flight and … in case of\n\t\t\t interception, the lives of persons on board and the safety of aircraft\n\t\t\t must not be endangered\n </quote>\n ;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas international civil aviation is regulated by international agreements, including standards\n\t\t\t and regulations set by ICAO for aviation safety, security, efficiency and\n\t\t\t regularity, as well as for aviation environmental protection;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas, in accordance with the norm of airborne innocent passage, the United States does not\n\t\t\t recognize the right of a coastal nation to apply its ADIZ procedures to\n\t\t\t foreign state aircraft not intending to enter national airspace nor does\n\t\t\t the United States apply its ADIZ procedures to foreign state aircraft not\n\t\t\t intending to enter United States airspace;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas the United States Government expressed profound concerns with China’s unilateral,\n\t\t\t provocative, dangerous, and\n\t\t\t destabilizing\n\t\t\t declaration of such a zone, including the potential for misunderstandings\n\t\t\t and miscalculations by aircraft operating lawfully in international\n\t\t\t airspace;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas the People's Republic of China's declaration of an ADIZ in the East China Sea will\n\t\t\t not alter how the United States Government conducts operations\n\t\t\t in the\n\t\t\t region or the unwavering United States commitment to peace, security and\n\t\t\t stability in the Asia-Pacific region;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas the Government of Japan expressed deep concern about the People's Republic of China’s\n\t\t\t declaration of such a zone,\n\t\t\t regarding it as an effort to unduly infringe upon the freedom of flight\n\t\t\t in international airspace and to change the status quo that could escalate\n\t\t\t tensions and potentially cause unintentional consequences in the East\n\t\t\t China Sea;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas the Government of the Republic of Korea has expressed concern over China’s declared ADIZ,\n\t\t\t and on December 9, 2013, announced an adjustment to its longstanding Air\n\t\t\t Defense Identification Zone, which does not encompass territory\n\t\t\t administered by another country, and did so only after undertaking a\n\t\t\t deliberate process of consultations with the United States, Japan, and\n\t\t\t China;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas the Government of the Philippines has stressed that China’s declared ADIZ seeks to transfer\n\t\t\t an entire air zone into Chinese domestic airspace, infringes on freedom of\n\t\t\t flight in international airspace, and compromises the safety of civil\n\t\t\t aviation and the national security of affected states, and has called on\n\t\t\t China to ensure that its actions do not jeopardize regional security and\n\t\t\t stability;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas, on November 26, 2013, the Government of Australia made clear in a statement its opposition\n\t\t\t to\n\t\t\t any coercive or unilateral actions to change the status quo in the East\n\t\t\t China Sea;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas, on March 10, 2014, the United States Government and the Government of Japan jointly\n\t\t\t submitted a letter\n\t\t\t to the ICAO Secretariat regarding the issue of freedom of overflight by\n\t\t\t civil aircraft in international airspace and the effective management of\n\t\t\t civil air traffic within allocated Flight Information Regions (FIR);\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas Indonesia Foreign Minister Marty Natalegawa, in a hearing before the Committee on Defense\n\t\t\t and Foreign Affairs on February 18, 2014, stated,\n <quote>\n We have firmly told China we will not accept a similar [Air Defense Identification] Zone if it is\n\t\t\t adopted in the South China Sea. And the signal we have received thus far\n\t\t\t is, China does not plan to adopt a similar Zone in the South China Sea.\n </quote>\n ;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas over half the world’s merchant tonnage flows through the South China Sea, and over\n\t\t\t 15,000,000 barrels of oil per day transit the Strait of Malacca, fueling\n\t\t\t economic growth and prosperity throughout the Asia-Pacific region;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas the increasing frequency and assertiveness of patrols and competing regulations over\n\t\t\t disputed territory and maritime areas and airspace in the South China Sea\n\t\t\t and the East China Sea are raising tensions and increasing the risk of\n\t\t\t confrontation;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) has promoted multilateral talks on\n\t\t\t disputed areas without settling the issue of sovereignty, and in 2002\n\t\t\t joined with China in signing a Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in\n\t\t\t the South China Sea that committed all parties to those territorial\n\t\t\t disputes to\n <quote>\n reaffirm their respect for and commitment to the freedom of navigation in and over flight above the\n\t\t\t South China Sea as provided for by the universally recognized principles\n\t\t\t of international law\n </quote>\n and to\n <quote>\n resolve their territorial and jurisdictional disputes by peaceful means, without resorting to the\n\t\t\t threat or use of force\n </quote>\n ;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas ASEAN and China committed in 2002 to develop an effective Code of Conduct when they adopted\n\t\t\t the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea, yet\n\t\t\t negotiations are irregular and little progress has been made;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas, in recent years, there have been numerous dangerous and destabilizing incidents in waters\n\t\t\t near the coasts of the Philippines, China, Malaysia, and Vietnam;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas the United States Government is deeply concerned about unilateral actions by any claimant\n\t\t\t seeking to\n\t\t\t change the status quo through the use of coercion, intimidation, or\n\t\t\t military force, including the continued restrictions on access to\n\t\t\t Scarborough Reef and pressure on long-standing Philippine presence at the\n\t\t\t Second Thomas Shoal by the People’s Republic of China; actions by any\n\t\t\t state to prevent any other state from exercising its sovereign rights to\n\t\t\t the resources of the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) and continental shelf\n\t\t\t by making claims to those areas that have no support in international law;\n\t\t\t declarations of\n\t\t\t administrative and military districts in contested areas in the South\n\t\t\t China Sea; and the imposition of new fishing regulations covering disputed\n\t\t\t areas,\n\t\t\t which have raised tensions in the region;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas international law is important to safeguard the rights and freedoms of all states in the\n\t\t\t Asia-Pacific region, and the lack of clarity in accordance with\n\t\t\t international law by claimants with regard to their\n\t\t\t South China Sea claims can create uncertainty, insecurity, and\n\t\t\t instability;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas the United States Government opposes the use of intimidation, coercion, or force to assert\n\t\t\t a\n\t\t\t territorial claim in the South China Sea;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas claims in the South China Sea must accord with international law, and those that are not\n\t\t\t derived from land features are fundamentally flawed;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas ASEAN issued Six-Point Principles on the South\n\t\t\t China Sea on July 20, 2012, whereby ASEAN’s Foreign Ministers reiterated\n\t\t\t and reaffirmed\n <quote>\n the commitment of ASEAN Member States to: … 1. the full implementation of the Declaration on the\n\t\t\t Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea (2002); … 2. the Guidelines for\n\t\t\t the Implementation of the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the\n\t\t\t South China Sea (2011); … 3. the early conclusion of a Regional Code of\n\t\t\t Conduct in the South China Sea; … 4. the full respect of the universally\n\t\t\t recognized principles of International Law, including the 1982 United\n\t\t\t Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS); … 5. the continued\n\t\t\t exercise of self-restraint and non-use of force by all parties; and …\t6.\n\t\t\t the peaceful resolution of disputes, in accordance with universally\n\t\t\t recognized principles of International Law, including the 1982 United\n\t\t\t Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS).\n </quote>\n ;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas, in 2013, the Republic of the Philippines properly exercised its rights to peaceful\n\t\t\t settlement mechanisms with the filing of arbitration case under Article\n\t\t\t 287 and Annex VII of the Convention on the Law of the Sea in order to\n\t\t\t achieve a peaceful and durable solution to the dispute, and the United\n\t\t\t States hopes that all parties in any dispute ultimately abide by the\n\t\t\t rulings of internationally recognized dispute-settlement bodies;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas China and Japan are the world’s second and third largest economies, and have a shared\n\t\t\t interest in preserving stable maritime domains to continue to support\n\t\t\t economic growth;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas there has been an unprecedented increase in dangerous activities by Chinese maritime\n\t\t\t agencies in areas near the Senkaku islands, including between 6 and 25\n\t\t\t

period, and 9 ships intruding into the\n\t\t\t territorial sea and 33 ships entering in the contiguous zone in February\n\t\t\t 2014;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas, although the United States Government does not take a position on the ultimate sovereignty\n\t\t\t of the Senkaku Islands, the United States Government acknowledges that\n\t\t\t they are under the administration of Japan and opposes any unilateral\n\t\t\t actions that would seek to undermine such administration;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas the United States Senate has

</whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas the United States remains committed under the Treaty of Mutual Cooperation and Security to\n\t\t\t respond to any armed attack in the territories under the administration of\n\t\t\t Japan, has urged all parties to take steps to prevent incidents and\n\t\t\t manage disagreements through peaceful means, and commends the Government\n\t\t\t of Japan for its\n\t\t\t restrained approach in this regard;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas both the United States and the People's Republic of China are parties to and are obligated\n\t\t\t

RES. 412 IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES April 7, 2014 Mr. Menendez (for himself, Mr. Rubio , Mr. Cardin , Mr. McCain , Mr. Risch , Mr. Leahy , Mrs. Feinstein , and Mr. Cornyn ) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations May 20, 2014 Reported by Mr. Menendez , with amendments and an amendment to the preamble Omit the part struck through and insert the part printed in italic July 10, 2014 Considered, amended, and agreed to with an amended preamble RESOLUTION Reaffirming the strong support of the United States Government for freedom of navigation and other internationally lawful uses of sea and airspace in the Asia-Pacific region, and for the peaceful diplomatic resolution of outstanding territorial and maritime claims and disputes.\n\nWhereas Asia-Pacific’s maritime domains, which include both the sea and airspace above the domains, are critical to the region’s prosperity, stability, and security, including global commerce; Whereas the United States is a longstanding Asia-Pacific power and has a national interest in maintaining freedom of operations in international waters and airspace both in the Asia-Pacific region and around the world; Whereas for over 60 years, the United States Government, alongside United States allies and partners, has played an instrumental role in maintaining stability in the Asia-Pacific, including safeguarding the prosperity and economic growth and development of the Asia-Pacific region; Whereas the United States, from the earliest days of the Republic, has had a deep and abiding national security interest in freedom of navigation, freedom of the seas, respect for international law, and unimpeded lawful commerce, including in the East China and South China Seas; Whereas the United States alliance relationships in the region, including with Japan, Korea, Australia, the Philippines, and Thailand, are at the heart of United States policy and engagement in the Asia-Pacific region, and share a common approach to supporting the maintenance of peace and stability, freedom of navigation, and other internationally lawful uses of sea and airspace in the Asia-Pacific region; Whereas territorial and maritime claims must be derived from land features and otherwise comport with international law; Whereas the United States Government has a clear interest in encouraging and supporting the nations of the region to work collaboratively and diplomatically to resolve disputes and is firmly opposed to coercion, intimidation, threats, or the use of force; Whereas the South China Sea contains great natural resources, and their stewardship and responsible use offers immense potential benefit for generations to come; Whereas the United States is not a claimant party in either the East China or South China Seas, but does have an interest in the peaceful diplomatic resolution of disputed claims in accordance with international law, in freedom of operations, and in the free-flow of commerce free of coercion, intimidation, or the use of force; Whereas the United States supports the obligation of all members of the United Nations to seek to resolve disputes by peaceful means; Whereas freedom of navigation and other lawful uses of sea and airspace in the Asia-Pacific region are embodied in international law, not granted by certain states to others; Whereas, on November 23, 2013, the People’s Republic of China unilaterally and without prior consultations with the United States, Japan, the Republic of Korea or other nations of the Asia-Pacific region, declared an Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ) in the East China Sea, also announcing that all aircraft entering the PRC’s self-declared ADIZ, even if they do not intend to enter Chinese territorial airspace, would have to submit flight plans, maintain radio contact, and follow directions from the Chinese Ministry of National Defense or face emergency defensive measures ; Whereas the rules of engagement declared by China, including the emergency defensive measures , are in violation of the concept of “due regard for the safety of civil aviation” under the Chicago Convention of the International Civil Aviation Organization and thereby are a departure from accepted practice; Whereas the Chicago Convention of the International Civil Aviation Organization distinguishes between civilian aircraft and state aircraft and provides for the specific obligations of state parties, consistent with customary law, to refrain from resorting to the use of weapons against civil aircraft in flight and … in case of interception, the lives of persons on board and the safety of aircraft must not be endangered ; Whereas international civil aviation is regulated by international agreements, including standards and regulations set by ICAO for aviation safety, security, efficiency and regularity, as well as for aviation environmental protection; Whereas, in accordance with the norm of airborne innocent passage, the United States does not recognize the right of a coastal nation to apply its ADIZ procedures to foreign state aircraft not intending to enter national airspace nor does the United States apply its ADIZ procedures to foreign state aircraft not intending to enter United States airspace; Whereas the United States Government expressed profound concerns with China’s unilateral, provocative, dangerous, and destabilizing declaration of such a zone, including the potential for misunderstandings and miscalculations by aircraft operating lawfully in international airspace; Whereas the People's Republic of China's declaration of an ADIZ in the East China Sea will not alter how the United States Government conducts operations in the region or the unwavering United States commitment to peace, security and stability in the Asia-Pacific region; Whereas the Government of Japan expressed deep concern about the People's Republic of China’s declaration of such a zone, regarding it as an effort to unduly infringe upon the freedom of flight in international airspace and to change the status quo that could escalate tensions and potentially cause unintentional consequences in the East China Sea; Whereas the Government of the Republic of Korea has expressed concern over China’s declared ADIZ, and on December 9, 2013, announced an adjustment to its longstanding Air Defense Identification Zone, which does not encompass territory administered by another country, and did so only after undertaking a deliberate process of consultations with the United States, Japan, and China; Whereas the Government of the Philippines has stressed that China’s declared ADIZ seeks to transfer an entire air zone into Chinese domestic airspace, infringes on freedom of flight in international airspace, and compromises the safety of civil aviation and the national security of affected states, and has called on China to ensure that its actions do not jeopardize regional security and stability; Whereas, on November 26, 2013, the Government of Australia made clear in a statement its opposition to any coercive or unilateral actions to change the status quo in the East China Sea; Whereas, on March 10, 2014, the United States Government and the Government of Japan jointly submitted a letter to the ICAO Secretariat regarding the issue of freedom of overflight by civil aircraft in international airspace and the effective management of civil air traffic within allocated Flight Information Regions (FIR); Whereas Indonesia Foreign Minister Marty Natalegawa, in a hearing before the Committee on Defense and Foreign Affairs on February 18, 2014, stated, We have firmly told China we will not accept a similar [Air Defense Identification] Zone if it is adopted in the South China Sea. And the signal we have received thus far is, China does not plan to adopt a similar Zone in the South China Sea. ; Whereas over half the world’s merchant tonnage flows through the South China Sea, and over 15,000,000 barrels of oil per day transit the Strait of Malacca, fueling economic growth and prosperity throughout the Asia-Pacific region; Whereas the increasing frequency and assertiveness of patrols and competing regulations over disputed territory and maritime areas and airspace in the South China Sea and the East China Sea are raising tensions and increasing the risk of confrontation; Whereas the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) has promoted multilateral talks on disputed areas without settling the issue of sovereignty, and in 2002 joined with China in signing a Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea that committed all parties to those territorial disputes to reaffirm their respect for and commitment to the freedom of navigation in and over flight above the South China Sea as provided for by the universally recognized principles of international law and to resolve their territorial and jurisdictional disputes by peaceful means, without resorting to the threat or use of force ; Whereas ASEAN and China committed in 2002 to develop an effective Code of Conduct when they adopted the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea, yet negotiations are irregular and little progress has been made; Whereas in recent years, there have been numerous dangerous and destabilizing incidents in waters near the coasts of the Philippines, China, Malaysia, and Vietnam; Whereas the United States Government is deeply concerned about unilateral actions by any claimant seeking to change the status quo through the use of coercion, intimidation, or military force, including the continued restrictions on access to Scarborough Reef and pressure on long-standing Philippine presence at the Second Thomas Shoal by the People’s Republic of China; actions by any state to prevent any other state from exercising its sovereign rights to the resources of the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) and continental shelf by making claims to those areas that have no support in international law; declarations of administrative and military districts in contested areas in the South China Sea; and the imposition of new fishing regulations covering disputed areas, which have raised tensions in the region; Whereas international law is important to safeguard the rights and freedoms of all states in the Asia-Pacific region, and the lack of clarity in accordance with international law by claimants with regard to their South China Sea claims can create uncertainty, insecurity, and instability; Whereas the United States Government opposes the use of intimidation, coercion, or force to assert a territorial claim in the South China Sea; Whereas claims in the South China Sea must accord with international law, and those that are not derived from land features are fundamentally flawed; Whereas ASEAN issued Six-Point Principles on the South China Sea on July 20, 2012, whereby ASEAN’s Foreign Ministers reiterated and reaffirmed the commitment of ASEAN Member States to: … 1. the full implementation of the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea (2002); … 2. the Guidelines for the Implementation of the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea (2011); … 3. the early conclusion of a Regional Code of Conduct in the South China Sea; … 4. the full respect of the universally recognized principles of International Law, including the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS); … 5. the continued exercise of self-restraint and non-use of force by all parties; and … 6. the peaceful resolution of disputes, in accordance with universally recognized principles of International Law, including the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). ; Whereas, in 2013, the Republic of the Philippines properly exercised its rights to peaceful settlement mechanisms with the filing of arbitration case under Article 287 and Annex VII of the Convention on the Law of the Sea in order to achieve a peaceful and durable solution to the dispute, and the United States hopes that all parties in any dispute ultimately abide by the rulings of internationally recognized dispute-settlement bodies; Whereas China and Japan are the world’s second and third largest economies, and have a shared interest in preserving stable maritime domains to continue to support economic growth; Whereas there has been an unprecedented increase in dangerous activities by Chinese maritime agencies in areas near the Senkaku islands, including between 6 and 25 ships of the Government of China intruding into the Japanese territorial sea each month since September 2012, between 26 and 124 ships entering the “contiguous zone” in the same time period, and 9 ships intruding into the territorial sea and 33 ships entering in the contiguous zone in February 2014; Whereas although the United States Government does not take a position on the ultimate sovereignty of the Senkaku Islands, the United States Government acknowledges that they are under the administration of Japan and opposes any unilateral actions that would seek to undermine such administration; Whereas the United States Senate has previously affirmed that the unilateral actions of a third party will not affect the United States acknowledgment of the administration of Japan over the Senkaku Islands; Whereas the United States remains committed under the Treaty of Mutual Cooperation and Security to respond to any armed attack in the territories under the administration of Japan, has urged all parties to take steps to prevent incidents and manage disagreements through peaceful means, and commends the Government of Japan for its restrained approach in this regard; Whereas both the United States and the People's Republic of China are parties to and are obligated to observe the rules of the Convention on the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea, done at London October 12, 1972 (COLREGs); Whereas, on December 5, 2013, the USS Cowpens was lawfully operating in international waters in the South China Sea when a People's Liberation Army Navy vessel reportedly crossed its bow at a distance of less than 500 yards and stopped in the water, forcing the USS Cowpens to take evasive action to avoid a collision; Whereas the reported actions taken by the People's Liberation Army Navy vessel in the USS Cowpens’ incident, as publicly reported, appear contrary to the international legal obligations of the People's Republic of China under COLREGs; Whereas, on May 1, 2014, the People’s Republic of China’s state-owned energy company, CNOOC, placed its deepwater semi-submersible drilling rig Hai Yang Shi You 981 (HD–981), accompanied by over 25 Chinese ships, in Block 143, 120 nautical miles off Vietnam’s coastline; Whereas from May 1 to May 9, 2014, the number of Chinese vessels escorting Hai Yang Shi You 981 (HD-981) increased to more than 80, including seven military ships, which aggressively patrolled and intimidated Vietnamese Coast Guard ships in violation of COLREGS, reportedly intentionally rammed multiple Vietnamese vessels, and used helicopters and water cannons to obstruct others; Whereas, on May 5, 2014, vessels from the Maritime Safety Administration of China (MSAC) established an exclusion zone with a radius of three nautical miles around Hai Yang Shi You 981 (HD-981), which undermines maritime safety in the area and is in violation of universally recognized principles of international law; Whereas China's territorial claims and associated maritime actions in support of the drilling activity that Hai Yang Shi You 981 (HD-981) commenced on May 1, 2014, have not been clarified under international law, constitute a unilateral attempt to change the status quo by force, and appear to be in violation of the 2002 Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea; Whereas, on January 19, 1998, the United States and People’s Republic of China signed the Military Maritime Consultative Agreement, creating a mechanism for consultation and coordination on operational safety issues in the maritime domain between the United States and the People’s Republic of China; Whereas the Western Pacific Naval Symposium, inaugurated in 1988 and comprising the navies of Australia, Brunei, Cambodia, Canada, Chile, France, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, the People's Republic of China, the Philippines, the Republic of Korea, the Russian Federation, Singapore, Thailand, Tonga, the United States, and Vietnam, whose countries all border the Pacific Ocean region, provides a forum where leaders of regional navies can meet to discuss cooperative initiatives, discuss regional and global maritime issues, and undertake exercises to strengthen norms and practices that contribute to operational safety, including protocols for unexpected encounters at sea, common ways of communication, common ways of operating, and common ways of engagement; Whereas Japan and the People’s Republic of China sought to negotiate a Maritime Communications Mechanism between the defense authorities and a Maritime Search and Rescue Agreement and agreed in principle to these agreements to address operational safety on the maritime domains but failed to sign them; Whereas the Changi Command and Control Center in Singapore provides a platform for all the countries of the Western Pacific to share information on what kind of contact at sea and to provide a common operational picture for the region; Whereas 2014 commemorates the 35th anniversary of normalization of diplomatic relations between the United States and the People’s Republic of China, and the United States welcomes the development of a peaceful and prosperous China that becomes a responsible international stakeholder, the government of which respects international norms, international laws, international institutions, and international rules; enhances security and peace; and seeks to advance relations between the United States and China; and Whereas ASEAN plays an important role, in partnership with others in the regional and international community, in addressing maritime security issues in the Asia-Pacific region and the Indian Ocean, including open access to the maritime domain of Asia: Now, therefore, be it\n\n1. Sense of the Senate The Senate— (1) condemns coercive and threatening actions or the use of force to impede freedom of operations in international airspace by military or civilian aircraft, to alter the status quo or to destabilize the Asia-Pacific region; (2) urges the Government of the People’s Republic of China to refrain from implementing the declared East China Sea Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ), which is contrary to freedom of overflight in international airspace, and to refrain from taking similar provocative actions elsewhere in the Asia-Pacific region; (3) commends the Governments of Japan and of the Republic of Korea for their restraint, and commends the Government of the Republic of Korea for engaging in a deliberate process of consultations with the United States, Japan and China prior to announcing its adjustment of its Air Defense Identification Zone on December 9, 2013, and for its commitment to implement this adjusted Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ) in a manner consistent with international practice and respect for the freedom of overflight and other internationally lawful uses of international airspace; and (4) calls on the Government of the People's Republic of China to withdraw its Hai Yang Shi You 981 (HD–981) drilling rig and associated maritime forces from their current positions, to refrain from maritime maneuvers contrary to COLREGS, and to return immediately to the status quo as it existed before May 1, 2014. 2. Statement of Policy It is the policy of the United States to— (1) reaffirm its unwavering commitment and support for allies and partners in the Asia-Pacific region, including longstanding United States policy regarding Article V of the United States-Philippines Mutual Defense Treaty and that Article V of the United States-Japan Mutual Defense Treaty applies to the Japanese-administered Senkaku Islands; (2) oppose claims that impinge on the rights, freedoms, and lawful use of the sea that belong to all nations; (3) urge all parties to refrain from engaging in destabilizing activities, including illegal occupation or efforts to unlawfully assert administration over disputed claims; (4) ensure that disputes are managed without intimidation, coercion, or force; (5) call on all claimants to clarify or adjust claims in accordance with international law; (6) support efforts by ASEAN and the People's Republic of China to develop an effective Code of Conduct, including the early harvest of agreed-upon elements in the Code of Conduct that can be implemented immediately; (7) reaffirm that an existing body of international rules and guidelines, including the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea, done at London October 12, 1972 (COLREGs), is sufficient to ensure the safety of navigation between the United States Armed Forces and the forces of other countries, including the People’s Republic of China; (8) support the development of regional institutions and bodies, including the ASEAN Regional Forum, the ASEAN Defense Minister’s Meeting Plus, the East Asia Summit, and the expanded ASEAN Maritime Forum, to build practical cooperation in the region and reinforce the role of international law; (9) encourage the adoption of mechanisms such as hotlines or emergency procedures for preventing incidents in sensitive areas, managing them if they occur, and preventing disputes from escalating; (10) fully support the rights of claimants to exercise rights they may have to avail themselves of peaceful dispute settlement mechanisms; (11) encourage claimants not to undertake new unilateral attempts to change the status quo since the signing of the 2002 Declaration of Conduct, including not asserting administrative measures or controls in disputed areas in the South China Sea; (12) encourage the deepening of partnerships with other countries in the region for maritime domain awareness and capacity building, as well as efforts by the United States Government to explore the development of appropriate multilateral mechanisms for a common operating picture in the South China Sea that would serve to help countries avoid destabilizing behavior and deter risky and dangerous activities; and (13) assure the continuity of operations by the United States in the Asia-Pacific region, including, when appropriate, in cooperation with partners and allies, to reaffirm the principle of freedom of operations in international waters and airspace in accordance with established principles and practices of international law. 3. Rule of construction Nothing in this resolution shall be construed as a declaration of war or authorization to use force.",

the International Civil Aviation Organization and thereby\n\t\t\t are a departure from accepted practice;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas the Chicago Convention of the International Civil Aviation Organization distinguishes\n\t\t\t between civilian aircraft and state aircraft and provides for the specific\n\t\t\t obligations of state parties, consistent with customary law, to\n <quote>\n refrain from resorting to the use of weapons against civil aircraft in flight and … in case of\n\t\t\t interception, the lives of persons on board and the safety of

declaration of such a zone, including the potential for misunderstandings\n\t\t\t and miscalculations by aircraft operating lawfully in international\n\t\t\t airspace;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas the People's Republic of China's declaration of an ADIZ in the East China Sea will\n\t\t\t not alter how the United States Government conducts operations\n\t\t\t in the\n\t\t\t region or the unwavering United States commitment to peace, security and\n\t\t\t stability in the Asia-Pacific region;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas the Government of Japan expressed deep concern about the People's Republic of China’s\n\t\t\t declaration of such a zone,\n\t\t\t regarding it as an effort to unduly infringe upon the freedom of flight\n\t\t\t in

Air\n\t\t\t Defense Identification Zone, which does not encompass territory\n\t\t\t administered by another country, and did so only after undertaking a\n\t\t\t deliberate process of consultations with the United States, Japan, and\n\t\t\t China;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas the Government of the Philippines has stressed that China’s declared ADIZ seeks to transfer\n\t\t\t an entire air zone into Chinese domestic airspace, infringes on freedom of\n\t\t\t flight in international airspace, and compromises the safety of civil\n\t\t\t aviation and the national security of affected states, and has called on\n\t\t\t China to ensure that its actions do not jeopardize regional security and\n\t\t\t stability;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n

the world’s merchant tonnage flows through the South China Sea, and over\n\t\t\t 15,000,000 barrels of oil per day transit the Strait of Malacca, fueling\n\t\t\t economic growth and prosperity throughout the Asia-Pacific region;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas the increasing frequency and assertiveness of patrols and competing regulations over\n\t\t\t disputed territory and maritime areas and airspace in the South China Sea\n\t\t\t and the East China Sea are raising tensions and increasing the risk of\n\t\t\t confrontation;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) has promoted multilateral talks on\n\t\t\t disputed areas without settling the issue of sovereignty, and in 2002\n\t\t\t joined with China in signing a Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in\n\t\t\t the South China Sea that committed all parties to those territorial\n\t\t\t disputes to\n <quote>\n reaffirm their

<whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas ASEAN and China committed in 2002 to develop an effective Code of Conduct when they adopted\n\t\t\t the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea, yet\n\t\t\t negotiations are irregular and little progress has been made;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas in recent years, there have been numerous dangerous and destabilizing incidents in waters\n\t\t\t near the coasts of the Philippines, China, Malaysia, and Vietnam;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas the United States Government is deeply concerned about unilateral actions by any claimant\n\t\t\t seeking to\n\t\t\t change the status quo through the use of coercion, intimidation, or\n\t\t\t military force, including the continued restrictions on access to\n\t\t\t Scarborough Reef and pressure on long-standing Philippine presence at the\n\t\t\t Second Thomas Shoal by the People’s Republic of China; actions by any\n\t\t\t state to prevent any other state from exercising its sovereign rights to\n\t\t\t the resources of the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) and continental shelf\n\t\t\t by making claims to those areas that have no support in international law;\n\t\t\t declarations of\n\t\t\t administrative and military districts in contested areas in the South\n\t\t\t China Sea; and the imposition of new fishing regulations covering disputed\n\t\t\t areas,\n\t\t\t which have raised tensions in the region;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas international law is important to safeguard the rights and freedoms of all states in the\n\t\t\t Asia-Pacific region, and the lack of clarity in accordance with\n\t\t\t international law by claimants with regard to their\n\t\t\t South China Sea claims can create uncertainty, insecurity, and\n\t\t\t instability;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas the United States Government opposes the use of intimidation, coercion, or force to assert\n\t\t\t a\n\t\t\t territorial claim in the South China Sea;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas claims in the South China Sea must accord with international law, and those that are not\n\t\t\t derived from land features are fundamentally flawed;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas ASEAN issued Six-Point Principles on the South\n\t\t\t China Sea on July 20, 2012, whereby ASEAN’s Foreign Ministers reiterated\n\t\t\t and reaffirmed\n <quote>\n the commitment of ASEAN Member States to: … 1. the full implementation of the Declaration on the\n\t\t\t Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea (2002); … 2. the Guidelines for\n\t\t\t the Implementation of the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the\n\t\t\t South China Sea (2011); … 3. the early conclusion of a Regional Code of\n\t\t\t Conduct in the South China Sea; … 4. the full respect of the universally\n\t\t\t recognized principles of International Law, including the 1982 United\n\t\t\t Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS); … 5. the continued\n\t\t\t exercise of self-restraint and non-use of force by all parties; and …\t6.\n\t\t\t the peaceful resolution of disputes, in accordance with universally\n\t\t\t recognized principles of International Law, including the 1982 United\n\t\t\t Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS).\n </quote>\n ;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas, in 2013, the Republic of the Philippines properly exercised its rights to peaceful\n\t\t\t settlement mechanisms with the filing of arbitration case under Article\n\t\t\t 287 and Annex VII of the Convention on the Law of the Sea in order to\n\t\t\t achieve a peaceful and durable solution to the dispute, and the United\n\t\t\t States hopes that all parties in any dispute ultimately abide by the\n\t\t\t rulings of internationally recognized dispute-settlement bodies;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas China and Japan are the world’s second and third largest economies, and have a shared\n\t\t\t interest in preserving stable maritime domains to continue to support\n\t\t\t economic growth;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas there has been an unprecedented increase in dangerous activities by Chinese maritime\n\t\t\t agencies in areas near the Senkaku islands, including between 6 and 25\n\t\t\t ships of the Government of China intruding into the Japanese territorial\n\t\t\t sea each month since September 2012, between 26 and 124 ships entering the\n\t\t\t “contiguous zone” in the same time period, and 9 ships intruding into the\n\t\t\t territorial sea and 33 ships entering in the contiguous zone in February\n\t\t\t 2014;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas although the United States Government does not take a position on the ultimate sovereignty\n\t\t\t of the Senkaku Islands, the United States Government acknowledges that\n\t\t\t they are under the administration of Japan and opposes any unilateral\n\t\t\t actions that would seek to undermine such administration;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas the United States Senate has previously affirmed that the unilateral actions of a third\n\t\t\t party will not affect the United States acknowledgment of the\n\t\t\t administration of Japan over the Senkaku Islands;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas the United States remains committed under the Treaty of Mutual Cooperation and Security to\n\t\t\t respond to any armed attack in the territories under the administration of\n\t\t\t Japan, has urged all parties to take steps to prevent incidents and\n\t\t\t manage disagreements through peaceful means, and commends the Government\n\t\t\t of Japan for its\n\t\t\t restrained approach in this regard;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas both the United States and the People's Republic of China are parties to and are obligated\n\t\t\t to observe the rules\n\t\t\t of the Convention on the International Regulations for Preventing\n\t\t\t Collisions at Sea, done at London October 12, 1972 (COLREGs);\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas, on December 5, 2013, the USS Cowpens was lawfully operating in international waters in\n\t\t\t the South China Sea when a People's Liberation Army Navy vessel reportedly\n\t\t\t crossed its bow at\n\t\t\t a distance of less than 500 yards and stopped in the water, forcing the\n\t\t\t USS Cowpens to take evasive action to avoid a collision;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas the reported actions taken by the People's Liberation Army Navy vessel in the\n\t\t\t USS Cowpens’ incident, as\n\t\t\t publicly reported, appear contrary to the\n\t\t\t international legal\n\t\t\t obligations of the People's Republic of China under COLREGs;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas, on May 1, 2014, the People’s Republic of China’s state-owned energy company, CNOOC, placed\n\t\t\t its deepwater semi-submersible drilling rig Hai Yang Shi You 981 (HD–981),\n\t\t\t accompanied by over 25 Chinese ships, in Block 143, 120 nautical miles off\n\t\t\t Vietnam’s coastline;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas from May 1 to May 9, 2014, the number of Chinese vessels escorting Hai Yang Shi You 981\n\t\t\t (HD-981) increased to more than 80, including seven military ships, which\n\t\t\t aggressively patrolled and intimidated Vietnamese Coast Guard ships in\n\t\t\t violation of COLREGS, reportedly intentionally rammed multiple Vietnamese\n\t\t\t vessels, and used helicopters and water cannons to obstruct others;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas, on May 5, 2014, vessels from the Maritime Safety Administration of China (MSAC)\n\t\t\t established an exclusion zone with a radius of three nautical miles around\n\t\t\t Hai Yang Shi You 981 (HD-981), which undermines maritime safety in the\n\t\t\t area and is in violation\n\t\t\t of universally recognized principles of international law;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas China's territorial claims and associated maritime actions in support of the drilling\n\t\t\t activity that Hai Yang Shi You 981 (HD-981) commenced on May 1, 2014, have\n\t\t\t not been clarified under international law, constitute a unilateral\n\t\t\t attempt\n\t\t\t to\n\t\t\t change the status\n\t\t\t quo by force, and appear to be in violation of the 2002 Declaration on\n\t\t\t the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas commented=\"no\">\n <text display-inline=\"yes-display-inline\">\n Whereas, on January 19, 1998, the United States and People’s Republic of China signed the

RES. 413 IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES April 7, 2014 Mr. Coons (for himself, Mr. Menendez , and Mr. Flake ) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations RESOLUTION Recognizing 20 years since the genocide in Rwanda, and affirming it is in the national interest of the United States to work in close coordination with international partners to help prevent and mitigate acts of genocide and mass atrocities.\n\nWhereas, in the aftermath of the Holocaust, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide declaring that genocide, whether committed in a time of peace or war, is a crime under international law; Whereas the United States was the first country to sign the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, and the Senate voted to ratify the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide on February 11, 1986; Whereas, for approximately 100 days between April 7, 1994, and July 1994, more than 800,000 civilians were killed in a genocide in Rwanda that targeted members of the Tutsi, moderate Hutu, and Twa populations, resulting in the horrific deaths of nearly 70 percent of the Tutsi population living in Rwanda; Whereas the massacres of innocent Rwandan civilians were premeditated and systematic attempts to eliminate the Tutsi population by Hutu extremists, fueled by hatred and incitement propagated by newspapers and radio; Whereas, in addition to systematic targeting of an ethnic minority in Rwanda resulting in the mass slaughter of innocent civilians, rape was also used as a weapon of war; Whereas, despite the deployment of the United Nations Assistance Mission for Rwanda (UNAMIR) in October 1993 following the end of the Rwandan Civil War, its mandate was insufficient to ensure the protection of large swathes of the population, demonstrating the inability of the United Nations to effectively respond to the unfolding genocide and stop or mitigate its impact; Whereas, on July 4, 1994, the Rwandan Patriotic Front, a trained military group consisting of formerly exiled Tutsis, began its takeover of the country, which resulted in an ending of the genocide, though not a complete end to the violence, including retribution; Whereas, in October 1994, the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) was established as the first international tribunal with the mandate to prosecute the crime of genocide and ultimately prosecuted 63 individuals for war crimes, including genocide and crimes against humanity as well as the first convictions for rape as a weapon of war; Whereas the United States Government supports initiatives to ensure that victims of genocide and mass atrocities are not forgotten, and has committed to work with international partners to help prevent genocide and mass atrocities and identify and support a range of actions to protect civilian populations at risk; Whereas, in July 2004, the Senate adopted Senate Concurrent Resolution 133 and the House of Representatives adopted House Concurrent Resolution 467, declaring that “the atrocities unfolding in Darfur, Sudan, are genocide”, and calling on the United States Government and the international community to take measures to address the situation immediately; Whereas, in September 2004, the United States Government, in testimony by Secretary of State Colin Powell before the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate, declared the ongoing conflict in Darfur, Sudan, a “genocide” perpetrated by the government based in Khartoum against its own people and affecting over 2,400,000 people in Sudan, including an estimated 200,000 fatalities; Whereas, in September 2005, the United States joined other members of the United Nations in adopting United Nations General Assembly Resolution 60/1, which affirmed that the international community has a responsibility to use appropriate diplomatic, humanitarian and other peaceful means, in accordance with Chapter VI (Military enforcement) and VIII (Regional Arrangements) of the United Nations Charter, to help protect populations from genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing, and crimes against humanity; Whereas, in December 2011, the Senate unanimously passed Senate Concurrent Resolution 71, recognizing the United States national interest in helping to prevent and mitigate acts of genocide and other mass atrocities against civilians, and urging the development of a whole of government approach to prevent and mitigate such acts; Whereas, in April 2012, President Barack Obama established the Atrocities Prevention Board within the United States inter-agency structure, chaired by National Security staff, to help identify and more effectively address atrocity threats, including genocide, as a core national security interest and core moral responsibility; Whereas, in July 2013, the National Intelligence Council completed the first ever National Intelligence Estimate on the global risk for mass atrocities and genocide; Whereas, in January 2014, the National Director of Intelligence testified before the Select Committee on Intelligence of the Senate, stating that “the overall risk of mass atrocities worldwide will probably increase in 2014 and beyond. … Much of the world will almost certainly turn to the United States for leadership to prevent and respond to mass atrocities.”; Whereas, despite measures taken by the United States Government and other governments since 1994, the international community still faces the challenges of responding to escalation of violence, atrocities, and religious-based conflict in many corners of the globe, including Syria and the Central African Republic, and a failure of the international community to appropriately respond to and address the rapidly deteriorating situation could result in further atrocities; Whereas the United Nations Security Council was unable to pass a resolution condemning the Government of Bashar al Assad of Syria for the use of chemical weapons against civilians, killing more than 1,400 of his own people in August 2013; and Whereas United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon recommended to the United Nations Security Council the establishment of a United Nations peacekeeping mission in the Central African Republic with the primary mandate to protect civilians: Now, therefore, be it\n\nThat the Senate— (1) recognizes the United Nations designation of April 7th as the International Day of Reflection on the Genocide in Rwanda; (2) honors the memory of the more than 800,000 victims of the Rwandan genocide and expresses sympathy for those whose lives were forever changed by this horrific event; (3) expresses support for the people of Rwanda as they remember the victims of genocide; (4) affirms it is in the national interest of the United States to work in close coordination with international partners to prevent and mitigate acts of genocide and mass atrocities; (5) condemns ongoing acts of violence and mass atrocities perpetrated against innocent civilians in Syria, the Central African Republic, South Sudan, Sudan and elsewhere; (6) urges the President to confer with Congress on an ongoing basis regarding the priorities and objectives of the Atrocities Prevention Board; (7) urges the President to work with Congress to strengthen the United States Government’s ability to identify and more rapidly respond to genocide and mass atrocities in order to prevent where possible and mitigate the impact of such events; and (8) supports ongoing United States and international efforts to— (A) strengthen multilateral peacekeeping capacities; (B) build capacity for democratic rule of law, security sector reform, and other measures to improve civilian protection in areas of conflict; (C) ensure measures of accountability for perpetrators of mass atrocities and crimes against humanity; and (D) strengthen the work of United States and international institutions, such as the Holocaust Memorial Museum, which are working to document, identify, and prevent mass atrocities and inspire citizens and leaders worldwide to confront hatred and prevent genocide.",

Whereas, in addition to systematic targeting of an ethnic minority in Rwanda resulting in the mass slaughter of innocent civilians, rape was also used as a weapon of war; Whereas, despite the deployment of the United Nations Assistance Mission for Rwanda (UNAMIR) in October 1993 following the end of the Rwandan Civil War, its mandate was insufficient to ensure the protection of large swathes of the population, demonstrating the inability of the United Nations to effectively respond to the unfolding genocide and stop or mitigate its impact; Whereas, on July 4, 1994, the Rwandan Patriotic Front, a trained military group consisting of formerly exiled Tutsis, began its takeover of the country, which resulted in an ending of the genocide, though not a complete end to the violence, including retribution; Whereas, in October 1994, the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) was established as the first international tribunal with the mandate to prosecute the crime of genocide and ultimately prosecuted 63 individuals for war crimes, including genocide and crimes against humanity as well as the first convictions for rape as a weapon of war; Whereas the United States Government supports initiatives to ensure that victims of genocide and mass atrocities are not forgotten, and has committed to work with international partners to help prevent genocide and mass atrocities and identify and support a range of actions to protect civilian populations at risk; Whereas, in July 2004, the Senate adopted Senate Concurrent Resolution 133 and the House of Representatives adopted House Concurrent Resolution 467, declaring that “the atrocities unfolding in Darfur, Sudan, are genocide”, and calling on the United States Government and the international community to take measures to address the situation immediately; Whereas, in September 2004, the United States Government, in testimony by Secretary of State Colin Powell before the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate, declared the ongoing conflict in Darfur, Sudan, a “genocide” perpetrated by the government based in Khartoum against its own people and affecting over 2,400,000 people in Sudan, including an estimated 200,000 fatalities; Whereas, in September 2005, the United States joined other members of the United Nations in adopting United Nations General Assembly Resolution 60/1, which affirmed that the international community has a responsibility to use appropriate diplomatic, humanitarian and other peaceful means, in accordance with Chapter VI (Military enforcement) and VIII (Regional Arrangements) of the United Nations Charter, to help protect populations from genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing, and crimes against humanity; Whereas, in December 2011, the Senate unanimously passed Senate Concurrent Resolution 71, recognizing the United States national interest in helping to prevent and mitigate acts of genocide and other mass atrocities against civilians, and urging the development of a whole of government approach to prevent and mitigate such acts; Whereas, in April 2012, President Barack Obama established the Atrocities Prevention Board within the United States inter-agency structure, chaired by National Security staff, to help identify and more effectively address atrocity threats, including genocide, as a core national security interest and core moral responsibility; Whereas, in July 2013, the National Intelligence Council completed the first ever National Intelligence Estimate on the global risk for mass atrocities and genocide; Whereas, in January 2014, the National Director of Intelligence testified before the Select Committee on Intelligence of the Senate, stating that “the overall risk of mass atrocities worldwide will probably increase in 2014 and beyond. … Much of the world will almost certainly turn to the United States for leadership to prevent and respond to mass atrocities.”; Whereas, despite measures taken by the United States Government and other governments since 1994, the international community still faces the challenges of responding to escalation of violence, atrocities, and religious-based conflict in many corners of the globe, including Syria and the Central African Republic, and a failure of the international community to appropriately respond to and address the rapidly deteriorating situation could result in further atrocities; Whereas the United Nations Security Council was unable to pass a resolution condemning the Government of Bashar al Assad of Syria for the use of chemical weapons against civilians, killing more than 1,400 of his own people in August 2013; and Whereas United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon recommended to the United Nations Security Council the establishment of a United Nations peacekeeping mission in the Central African Republic with the primary mandate to protect civilians: Now, therefore, be it\n\nThat the Senate— (1) recognizes the United Nations designation of April 7th as the International Day of Reflection on the Genocide in Rwanda; (2) honors the memory of the more than 800,000 victims of the Rwandan genocide and expresses sympathy for those whose lives were forever changed by this horrific event; (3) expresses support for the people of Rwanda as they remember the victims of genocide; (4) affirms it is in the national interest of the United States to work in close coordination with international partners to prevent and mitigate acts of genocide and mass atrocities; (5) condemns ongoing acts of violence and mass atrocities perpetrated against innocent civilians in Syria, the Central African Republic, South Sudan, Sudan and elsewhere; (6) urges the President to confer with Congress on an ongoing basis regarding the priorities and objectives of the Atrocities Prevention Board; (7) urges the President to work with Congress to strengthen the United States Government’s ability to identify and more rapidly respond to genocide and mass atrocities in order to prevent where possible and mitigate the impact of such events; and (8) supports ongoing United States and international efforts to— (A) strengthen multilateral peacekeeping capacities; (B) build capacity for democratic rule of law, security sector reform, and other measures to improve civilian protection in areas of conflict; (C) ensure measures of accountability for perpetrators of mass atrocities and crimes against humanity; and (D) strengthen the work of United States and international institutions, such as the Holocaust Memorial Museum, which are working to document, identify, and prevent mass atrocities and inspire citizens and leaders worldwide to confront hatred and prevent genocide.\n\nApril 11, 2014 Reported without amendment",

genocide and\n\t\t\t mass atrocities.\n </official-title>\n </form>\n <preamble commented=\"no\">\n <whereas commented=\"no\">\n <text display-inline=\"yes-display-inline\">\n Whereas in the aftermath of the Holocaust, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the\n\t\t\t Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide\n\t\t\t declaring that genocide, whether committed in a time of peace or war, is a\n\t\t\t crime under international law;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas commented=\"no\">\n <text display-inline=\"yes-display-inline\">\n Whereas the United States was the first country to sign the Convention on the Prevention and\n\t\t\t Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, and the Senate voted to ratify the\n\t\t\t Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide on\n\t\t\t February 11, 1986;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas commented=\"no\">\n <text display-inline=\"yes-display-inline\">\n Whereas, for approximately 100 days between April 7, 1994, and July 1994, more than 800,000\n\t\t\t civilians were killed in a genocide in Rwanda that targeted members of the\n\t\t\t Tutsi, moderate Hutu, and Twa populations, resulting in the horrific\n\t\t\t deaths of nearly 70 percent of the Tutsi population living in Rwanda;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas commented=\"no\">\n <text display-inline=\"yes-display-inline\">\n Whereas the massacres of innocent Rwandan civilians were premeditated and systematic attempts to\n\t\t\t eliminate the Tutsi population by Hutu extremists, fueled by hatred and\n\t\t\t incitement propagated by newspapers and radio;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas commented=\"no\">\n <text display-inline=\"yes-display-inline\">\n Whereas in addition to systematic targeting of an ethnic minority in Rwanda resulting in the mass\n\t\t\t slaughter of innocent civilians, rape was also used as a weapon of war;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas commented=\"no\">\n <text display-inline=\"yes-display-inline\">\n Whereas, despite the deployment of the United Nations Assistance Mission for Rwanda (UNAMIR) in\n\t\t\t October 1993 following the end of the Rwandan Civil War, its mandate was\n\t\t\t insufficient to ensure the protection of large swathes of the population,\n\t\t\t demonstrating the inability of the United Nations to effectively respond\n\t\t\t to the unfolding genocide and stop or mitigate its impact;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas commented=\"no\">\n <text display-inline=\"yes-display-inline\">\n Whereas, on July 4, 1994, the Rwandan Patriotic Front, a trained military group consisting of\n\t\t\t formerly exiled Tutsis, began its takeover of the country, which resulted\n\t\t\t in an ending of the genocide, though not a complete end to the violence,\n\t\t\t including retribution;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas commented=\"no\">\n <text display-inline=\"yes-display-inline\">\n Whereas, in October 1994, the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) was established as\n\t\t\t the first international tribunal with the mandate to prosecute the crime\n\t\t\t of genocide and ultimately prosecuted 63 individuals for war crimes,\n\t\t\t including genocide and crimes against humanity as well as the first\n\t\t\t convictions for rape as a weapon of war;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas commented=\"no\">\n <text display-inline=\"yes-display-inline\">\n Whereas the United States Government supports initiatives to ensure that victims of genocide and\n\t\t\t mass atrocities are not forgotten, and has committed to work with\n\t\t\t international partners to help prevent genocide and mass atrocities and\n\t\t\t identify and support a range of actions to protect civilian populations at\n\t\t\t risk;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas commented=\"no\">\n <text display-inline=\"yes-display-inline\">\n Whereas, in July 2004, the Senate adopted Senate Concurrent Resolution 133 and the House of\n\t\t\t Representatives adopted House Concurrent Resolution 467, declaring that\n\t\t\t “the atrocities unfolding in Darfur, Sudan, are\n\t\t\t genocide”, and calling on the United States Government and the \n\t\t\t international community to take measures to address the situation\n\t\t\t immediately;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas commented=\"no\">\n <text display-inline=\"yes-display-inline\">\n Whereas, in September 2004, the United States Government, in testimony by Secretary of\n\t\t\t State\tColin Powell before the Committee on Foreign Relations\n\t\t\t of the Senate, declared the\n\t\t\t ongoing conflict in Darfur, Sudan, a “genocide” perpetrated by the\n\t\t\t government based in Khartoum against its own people and affecting over\n\t\t\t 2,400,000 people in Sudan, including an estimated 200,000 fatalities;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text display-inline=\"yes-display-inline\">\n Whereas, in September 2005, the United States joined other members of the United Nations in\n\t\t\t adopting United Nations General Assembly Resolution 60/1, which affirmed\n\t\t\t that the international community has a responsibility to use appropriate\n\t\t\t diplomatic, humanitarian and other peaceful means to help protect\n\t\t\t populations from genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing, and crimes\n\t\t\t against humanity;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas commented=\"no\">\n <text display-inline=\"yes-display-inline\">\n Whereas, in December 2011, the Senate unanimously passed Senate Concurrent Resolution 71,\n\t\t\t recognizing the United States national interest in helping to prevent and\n\t\t\t mitigate acts of genocide and other mass atrocities against civilians, and\n\t\t\t urging the development of a whole of government approach to prevent and\n\t\t\t mitigate such acts;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas commented=\"no\">\n <text display-inline=\"yes-display-inline\">\n Whereas, in April 2012, President Barack Obama established the Atrocities Prevention Board within\n\t\t\t the United\n\t\t\t States inter-agency structure, chaired by National Security staff, to help\n\t\t\t identify and more effectively address atrocity threats, including\n\t\t\t genocide, as a core national security interest and core moral\n\t\t\t responsibility;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas commented=\"no\">\n <text display-inline=\"yes-display-inline\">\n Whereas, in July 2013, the National Intelligence Council completed the first ever National\n\t\t\t Intelligence Estimate on the global risk for mass atrocities and genocide;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas commented=\"no\">\n <text display-inline=\"yes-display-inline\">\n Whereas, in January 2014, the National Director of Intelligence testified before the Select\n\t\t\t Committee on Intelligence of the Senate, stating that “the overall risk of\n\t\t\t mass\n\t\t\t atrocities worldwide will probably increase in 2014 and beyond. … Much of\n\t\t\t the\n\t\t\t world will almost certainly turn to the United States for leadership to\n\t\t\t prevent and respond to mass atrocities.”;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas commented=\"no\">\n <text display-inline=\"yes-display-inline\">\n Whereas, despite measures taken by the United States Government and other governments since 1994,\n\t\t\t the international\n\t\t\t community still faces the challenges of responding to escalation of\n\t\t\t violence, atrocities, and religious-based conflict in many corners of the\n\t\t\t globe, including Syria and the Central African Republic, and a failure of\n\t\t\t the international community to appropriately respond to and address the\n\t\t\t rapidly deteriorating situation could result in further atrocities;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas commented=\"no\">\n <text display-inline=\"yes-display-inline\">\n Whereas the United Nations Security Council was unable to pass a resolution condemning the\n\t\t\t Government of Bashar al Assad of Syria for the use of chemical weapons\n\t\t\t against civilians, killing more than 1,400 of his own people in August\n\t\t\t 2013; and\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas commented=\"no\">\n <text display-inline=\"yes-display-inline\">\n Whereas United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon recommended to the United Nations Security\n\t\t\t Council the establishment of a United Nations peacekeeping mission in the\n\t\t\t Central African Republic with the primary mandate to protect civilians:\n\t\t\t Now, therefore, be it\n </text>\n </whereas>\n </preamble>\n <resolution-body

RES. 414 IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES April 7, 2014 Mr. Sessions (for himself and Mr. Cardin ) submitted the following resolution; which was considered and agreed to RESOLUTION Designating April 2014 as National Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia Awareness Month .\n\nWhereas congenital diaphragmatic hernia (referred to in this preamble as CDH ) occurs when the diaphragm fails to fully form, allowing abdominal organs to migrate into the chest cavity and preventing lung growth; Whereas the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recognizes CDH as a birth defect; Whereas the majority of CDH patients suffer from underdeveloped lungs or poor pulmonary function; Whereas babies born with CDH endure extended hospital stays in intensive care with multiple surgeries; Whereas CDH patients often endure long-term complications, such as pulmonary hypertension, pulmonary hypoplasia, asthma, gastrointestinal reflex, feeding disorders, and developmental delays; Whereas CDH survivors sometimes endure long-term mechanical ventilation dependency, skeletal malformations, supplemental oxygen dependency, enteral and parenteral nutrition, and hypoxic brain injury; Whereas CDH is treated through mechanical ventilation, a heart and lung bypass (commonly known as extracorporeal membrane oxygenation ), machines, and surgical repair; Whereas surgical repair is often not a permanent solution for CDH and can lead to reherniation and require additional surgery; Whereas CDH is diagnosed in utero in less than 50 percent of cases; Whereas infants born with CDH have a high mortality rate, ranging from 20 to 60 percent, depending on the severity of the defect and interventions available at delivery; Whereas CDH has a rate of occurrence of 1 in every 3,800 live births worldwide; Whereas CDH affects approximately 1,088 babies each year in the United States; Whereas CDH has affected more than 700,000 babies worldwide since 2000; Whereas CDH does not discriminate based on race, gender, or socioeconomic status; Whereas the cause of CDH is unknown; Whereas the average CDH survivor will face postnatal care of at least $100,000; and Whereas Federal support for CDH research at the National Institutes of Health for 2013 is estimated to be not more than $3,000,000: Now, therefore, be it\n\nThat the Senate— (1) designates April 2014 as National Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia Awareness Month ; (2) declares that steps should be taken to— (A) raise awareness of and increase public knowledge about congenital diaphragmatic hernia (referred to in this resolution as CDH ); (B) inform minority populations about CDH; (C) disseminate information on the importance of quality neonatal care of CDH patients; (D) promote quality prenatal care and ultrasounds to detect CDH in utero; and (E) increase research funding in an amount commensurate with the burden of CDH to— (i) improve screening and treatment for CDH; (ii) discover the causes of CDH; and (iii) develop a cure for CDH; and (3) calls on the people of the United States, interest groups, and affected persons to— (A) promote awareness of CDH; (B) take an active role in the fight against this devastating birth defect; and (C) observe National Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia Awareness Month with appropriate ceremonies and activities.",

RES. 418 IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES April 8, 2014 Mr. Brown (for himself and Mr. Enzi ) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions RESOLUTION To honor Gallaudet University, a premier institution of higher education for deaf and hard of hearing people in the United States, on the occasion of its 150 th anniversary and to recognize the impact of the University on higher education.\n\nWhereas in 1856, philanthropist and former postmaster general Amos Kendall donated land on his estate in northeast Washington, DC, for a place to educate the city’s deaf youth, and, 8 years later, President Abraham Lincoln signed a bill authorizing the institution to grant college degrees; Whereas theology graduate Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet was inspired to dedicate his life to educating deaf people after tutoring Alice Cogswell, a 9-year-old deaf neighbor, and traveled to France, where he learned a manual communication method of instruction developed by renowned French educators Abbe Sicard, Laurent Clerc, and Jean Massieu; Whereas upon returning to the United States, Gallaudet established the American School for the Deaf, the first permanent school for deaf children in the United States, in Hartford, Connecticut; Whereas in 1857, Thomas Gallaudet's youngest son, Edward Miner Gallaudet, took up his father's cause when he and his deaf mother, Sophia Fowler Gallaudet, were invited by Kendall to run the newly established Columbia Institution for the Instruction of the Deaf and Dumb and the Blind in Washington, DC; Whereas with Kendall's resources and Edward Gallaudet's leadership and vision, the fledgling school grew and flourished, expanding to provide instruction for aspiring teachers of the deaf and becoming the world's first, and currently only, institution of higher education devoted to deaf and hard of hearing students and to hearing students who wish to pursue careers as professionals serving the deaf community; Whereas following the 1969 signing of the Model Secondary School for the Deaf Act (MSSD) by President Lyndon Johnson, Secretary of the United States Department of Health, Education, and Welfare Wilbur Cohen and Gallaudet President Leonard Elstad signed an agreement authorizing the establishment and operation of the MSSD on the Gallaudet campus; Whereas in 1970, President Richard Nixon signed a bill to authorize the establishment of Kendall Demonstration Elementary School (along with MSSD, a component of Gallaudet's Laurent Clerc National Deaf Education Center), devoted to the creation and dissemination of educational opportunities for deaf students nationwide; Whereas by an Act of Congress, Gallaudet was granted university status in October 1986, and in March 1988, the Deaf President Now (DPN) movement led to the appointment of the University's first deaf president, Dr. I. King Jordan, and the first deaf chair of the Board of Trustees, Philip Bravin; Whereas the DPN movement has become synonymous with self-determination and empowerment for deaf and hard of hearing people everywhere; Whereas the new millennium at Gallaudet has brought events such as the Deaf Way II festival, the opening of the technology-rich I. King Jordan Student Academic Center, and the dedication of the James Lee Sorenson Language and Communication Center, a unique facility that provides an inclusive learning environment compatible with the visu-centric deaf way of being ; Whereas Gallaudet's undergraduate students can choose from more than 40 majors leading to bachelor of arts or bachelor of science degrees, and students can enroll in graduate and certificate programs, leading to master of arts, master of science, doctoral, and specialist degrees in a variety of fields involving professional service to deaf and hard of hearing people; Whereas through the Gallaudet University career center, students receive internships that provide a wealth of experiential learning opportunities, including placements in local and Federal Government offices; Whereas today Gallaudet is viewed by deaf and hearing people alike as a primary resource for all things related to deaf and hard of hearing people, including educational and career opportunities, open communication and visual learning, deaf history and culture, American Sign Language, and technology that impacts the deaf community; Whereas Gallaudet student-athletes have consistently gained national and international recognition over the years for their accomplishments in a variety of sports, while also being recognized for their success in the classroom by being named All-Academic honorees within their collegiate conferences by posting cumulative grade point averages of 3.20 or higher during the year; Whereas Gallaudet’s anniversary goals are to— (1) honor its years of academic excellence; (2) use this milestone to launch new initiatives, discussions, and partnerships that will lead the University forward; (3) emphasize that Gallaudet is first and foremost a university in which academic discourse plays a central role; (4) recognize the University’s unique place in deaf history; (5) acknowledge and celebrate both the continuity and the change the campus has seen, including Gallaudet University’s progression towards a greater diversity of people and ideas; (6) demonstrate Gallaudet’s impact on the world and underscore the University’s leadership role on the local, national, and international level; and (7) highlight the continuous support of Gallaudet’s alumni and collaborations with the Gallaudet University Alumni Association; and Whereas Gallaudet’s 150 th year theme is Gallaudet University: Celebrating 150 Years of Visionary Leadership , and this theme will guide decisions on all activities planned in recognition of Gallaudet University’s sesquicentennial: Now, therefore, be it\n\nThat the Senate honors Gallaudet University on the occasion of its 150 th anniversary and recognizes its contributions to higher education in the United States and around the world.",

RES. 421 IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES April 10, 2014 Mr. Boozman (for himself and Ms. Landrieu ) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations RESOLUTION Expressing the gratitude and appreciation of the Senate for the acts of heroism and military achievement by the members of the United States Armed Forces who participated in the June 6, 1944, amphibious landing at Normandy, France, and commending them for leadership and valor in an operation that helped bring an end to World War II.\n\nWhereas June 6, 2014, marks the 70 th anniversary of the Allied assault at Normandy, France, by American, British, and Canadian troops, which was known as Operation Overlord; Whereas, before Operation Overlord, the German Army still occupied France and the Nazi government still had access to the raw materials and industrial capacity of Western Europe; Whereas the naval assault phase on Normandy was codenamed Neptune , and the June 6 th assault date is referred to as D-Day to denote the day on which the combat attack was initiated; Whereas the D-Day landing was the largest single amphibious assault in history, consisting of approximately 31,000 members of the United States Armed Forces, 153,000 members of the Allied Expeditionary Force, 5,000 naval vessels, and more than 11,000 sorties by Allied aircraft; Whereas soldiers of 6 divisions (3 American, 2 British, and 1 Canadian) stormed ashore in 5 main landing areas on beaches in Normandy, which were code-named Utah , Omaha , Gold , Juno , and Sword ; Whereas, of the approximately 10,000 Allied casualties incurred on the first day of the landing, more than 6,000 casualties were members of the United States Armed Forces; Whereas the age of the remaining World War II veterans and the gradual disappearance of any living memory of World War II and the Normandy landings make it necessary to increase activities intended to pass on the history of these events, particularly to younger generations; Whereas the young people of Normandy and the United States have displayed unprecedented commitment to and involvement in celebrating the veterans of the Normandy landings and the freedom that they brought with them in 1944; Whereas the significant material remains of the Normandy landing, such as shipwrecks and various items of military equipment found both on the Normandy beaches and at the bottom of the sea in French territorial waters, bear witness to the remarkable material resources used by the Allied Armed Forces to execute the Normandy landings; Whereas 5 Normandy beaches and a number of sites on the Normandy coast, including Pointe du Hoc, were the scene of the Normandy landings, and constitute both now and for all time a unique piece of humanity's world heritage, and a symbol of peace and freedom, whose unspoilt nature, integrity, and authenticity must be protected at all costs; and Whereas the world owes a debt of gratitude to the members of the greatest generation who assumed the task of freeing the world from Nazi and Fascist regimes and restoring liberty to Europe: Now, therefore, be it\n\nThat the Senate— (1) recognizes the 70 th anniversary of the Allied amphibious landing on D-Day, June 6, 1944, at Normandy, France, during World War II; (2) expresses gratitude and appreciation to the members of the United States Armed Forces who participated in the D-Day operations; (3) thanks the young people of Normandy and the United States for their involvement in recognizing and celebrating the 70 th Anniversary of the Normandy landings with the aim of making future generations aware of the acts of heroism and sacrifice performed by the Allied forces; (4) recognizes the efforts of the Government of France and the people of Normandy to preserve, for future generations, the unique world heritage represented by the Normandy beaches and the sunken material remains of the Normandy landing, by inscribing them on the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage List; and (5) requests the President to issue a proclamation calling on the people of the United States to observe the anniversary with appropriate ceremonies and programs to honor the sacrifices of their fellow countrymen to liberate Europe.",

RES. 422 IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES April 10, 2014 Mr. Reid (for himself and Mr. McConnell ) submitted the following resolution; which was considered and agreed to RESOLUTION To authorize written testimony, document production, and representation in Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks Foundation, Inc. v. United States .\n\nWhereas, in the case of Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks Foundation, Inc. v. United States , No. 09–568 C, pending in the United States Court of Federal Claims, the plaintiff has issued a subpoena for testimony and production of documents from Holly Luck, a former employee of Senator Baucus; Whereas, pursuant to sections 703(a) and 704(a)(2) of the Ethics in Government Act of 1978, 2 U.S.C. §§ 288b(a) and 288c(a)(2), the Senate may direct its counsel to represent current and former employees of the Senate with respect to any subpoena, order, or request for testimony relating to their official responsibilities; Whereas, by the privileges of the Senate of the United States and Rule XI of the Standing Rules of the Senate, no evidence under the control or in the possession of the Senate may, by the judicial or administrative process, be taken from such control or possession but by permission of the Senate; and Whereas, when it appears that evidence under the control or in the possession of the Senate may promote the administration of justice, the Senate will take such action as will promote the ends of justice consistent with the privileges of the Senate: Now, therefore, be it\n\nThat Holly Luck is authorized to provide written testimony and produce documents in the case of Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks Foundation, Inc. v. United States , except concerning matters for which a privilege should be asserted. 2. The Senate Legal Counsel is authorized to represent Holly Luck in connection with the written testimony and document production authorized by section 1 of this resolution.",

RES. 423 IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES April 11, 2014 Mr. Reed (for himself, Mr. Enzi , Mrs. Murray , Mr. Barrasso , Mr. Coons , Mr. Crapo , Mr. Durbin , Mr. Blunt , Ms. Heitkamp , Mr. Wicker , Mr. Merkley , Mr. Cochran , Mr. Warner , Mr. Begich , Mr. Carper , Mr. King , Mrs. Hagan , Mr. Johnson of Wisconsin , and Mr. Cardin ) submitted the following resolution; which was considered and agreed to RESOLUTION Designating April 2014 as Financial Literacy Month .\n\nWhereas according to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (referred to in this preamble as the FDIC ), at least 28.3 percent of households in the United States, or nearly 34,000,000 households with approximately 67,888,000 adults, are unbanked or underbanked and therefore have not had the opportunity to access savings, lending, and other basic financial services; Whereas according to the FDIC, approximately 30 percent of banks reported in 2011 that consumers lacked understanding of the financial products and services banks offered; Whereas according to the 2013 Consumer Financial Literacy Survey Final Report of the National Foundation for Credit Counseling— (1) approximately 40 percent of adults in the United States gave themselves a grade of C, D, or F on their knowledge of personal finance, and 78 percent of adults acknowledged that they could benefit from additional advice and answers to everyday financial questions from a professional; (2) 26 percent of adults in the United States, or approximately 61,000,000 individuals, admitted to not paying their bills on time; (3) only 40 percent of adults in the United States reported keeping close track of their spending, a percentage that has held steady since 2007; and (4) more than 40 percent of adults in the United States, or over 100,000,000 individuals, said not having enough rainy day savings for an emergency is their greatest financial concern, while a slightly lower percentage said that their greatest financial concern is not having enough money set aside for retirement; Whereas the 2013 Retirement Confidence Survey conducted by the Employee Benefit Research Institute found that only 13 percent of workers were very confident about having enough money for a comfortable retirement, which is a sharp decline in worker confidence from the 27 percent of workers who were very confident in 2007, while approximately 54 percent of workers say they or their spouses have not calculated the amount of money they need to save for retirement; Whereas according to a 2014 Flow of Funds report by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, outstanding household debt in the United States was $13,100,000,000,000 at the end of the fourth quarter of 2013; Whereas according to the 2014 Survey of the States: Economic and Personal Finance Education in Our Nation's Schools, a biennial report by the Council for Economic Education— (1) only 24 States require students to take an economics course as a high school graduation requirement; (2) only 22 States require testing student knowledge of economics; and (3) only 17 States require students to take a personal finance course either independently or as part of an economics course as a high school graduation requirement; Whereas according to the Gallup-Operation HOPE Financial Literacy Index, only 52.3 percent of students in the United States have money in a bank or credit union account; Whereas expanding access to the safe, mainstream financial system will provide individuals with less expensive and more secure options for managing finances and building wealth; Whereas quality personal financial education is essential to ensure that individuals are prepared to manage money, credit, and debt, and to become responsible workers, heads of household, investors, entrepreneurs, business leaders, and citizens; Whereas increased financial literacy empowers individuals to make wise financial decisions and reduces the confusion caused by an increasingly complex economy; Whereas a greater understanding of, and familiarity with, financial markets and institutions will lead to increased economic activity and growth; Whereas in 2003, Congress determined that coordinating Federal financial literacy efforts and formulating a national strategy is important; and Whereas in light of that determination, Congress passed the Financial Literacy and Education Improvement Act (20 U.S.C. 9701 et seq.), establishing the Financial Literacy and Education Commission: Now, therefore, be it\n\nThat the Senate— (1) designates April 2014 as Financial Literacy Month to raise public awareness about— (A) the importance of personal financial education in the United States; and (B) the serious consequences that may result from a lack of understanding about personal finances; and (2) calls on the Federal Government, States, localities, schools, nonprofit organizations, businesses, and the people of the United States to observe Financial Literacy Month with appropriate programs and activities.",

RES. 424 IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES April 11, 2014 Mr. Wicker (for himself, Mr. Leahy , Mr. Grassley , and Mr. Schumer ) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary RESOLUTION Supporting the mission and goals of 2014 National Crime Victims' Rights Week, which include increasing public awareness of the rights, needs, and concerns of, and services available to assist, victims and survivors of crime in the United States.\n\nWhereas in 2011, there were approximately 6,000,000 victims and survivors of violent crime and more than 17,000,000 victims and survivors of property crime in the United States; Whereas according to the National Crime Victimization Survey, nonfatal violent crime in the United States increased by 17 percent and property crime in the United States increased by 11 percent between 2010 and 2011; Whereas according to the Uniform Crime Reporting Program of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, law enforcement agencies throughout the nation reported an increase of 1.9 percent in the number of violent crimes brought to their attention for the first 6 months of 2012 when compared with figures reported for the same time in 2011 ; Whereas a just society acknowledges the impact of crime on individuals, families, schools, and communities by protecting the rights of crime victims and survivors and ensuring that resources and services are available to help rebuild the lives of such victims and survivors; Whereas despite impressive accomplishments between 1974 and 2014 in increasing the rights of, and services available to, crime victims and survivors, and the families of such victims and survivors, many challenges remain to ensure that all crime victims and survivors, and the families of such victims and survivors, are— (1) treated with dignity, fairness, and respect; (2) offered support and services regardless of whether such victims and survivors report crimes committed against them; and (3) recognized as key participants within the criminal, juvenile, Federal, tribal, and civil justice systems in the United States when such victims and survivors report crimes; Whereas crime victims and survivors in the United States, and the families of such victims and survivors, need and deserve support and assistance to help cope with the often devastating consequences of crime; Whereas 2014 marks the 30th anniversary of the enactment of the Victims of Crime Act of 1984 (42 U.S.C. 10601 et seq.) (referred to in this preamble as VOCA ), which is the hallmark of the commitment of the Federal Government to supporting rights and services for victims and survivors of all types of crime; Whereas VOCA established the Crime Victims Fund, which is paid for by criminal fines and penalties, rather than by taxpayer dollars; Whereas the Crime Victims Fund has collected more than $20,400,000,000 from criminals to be used exclusively to help victims and survivors of crime; Whereas during each year between 1984 and 2014, communities across the United States have joined Congress and the Department of Justice in commemorating National Crime Victims' Rights Week to celebrate a shared vision of a comprehensive and collaborative response that identifies and addresses the many needs of crime victims and survivors, and the families of such victims and survivors; Whereas Congress and the President agree on the need for a renewed commitment to serving all victims and survivors of crime in the 21st century; Whereas the theme of 2014 National Crime Victims' Rights Week, celebrated during the week of April 6 through April 12, 2014, is 30 Years: Restoring the Balance of Justice and highlights the many challenges that confront crime-victim assistance, justice, and public safety; and Whereas the people of the United States recognize and appreciate the continued importance of— (1) promoting the rights of, and services for, crime victims and survivors; and (2) honoring crime victims and survivors and individuals who provide services for such victims and survivors: Now, therefore, be it\n\nThat the Senate— (1) supports the mission and goals of 2014 National Crime Victims' Rights Week, which include increasing individual and public awareness of— (A) the impact of crime on victims and survivors, and the families of such victims and survivors; (B) the challenges to achieving justice for victims and survivors of crime, and the families of such victims and survivors; and (C) the many solutions to meet such challenges; (2) recognizes that crime victims and survivors, and the families of such victims and survivors, should be treated with dignity, fairness, and respect; and (3) recognizes the 30th anniversary of the enactment of the Victims of Crime Act of 1984 (42 U.S.C. 10601 et seq.).",

RES. 425 IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES April 29, 2014 Mr. Casey submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions RESOLUTION Expressing support for the goals and ideals of National Donate Life Month .\n\nWhereas in March 2014, over 118,800 individuals were on the official waiting list for organ donation managed by the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network; Whereas in 2013, 31,422 organs from 14,257 donors (including both living and deceased donors) were transplanted into 28,952 patients, yet 6,123 candidates for transplantation died while waiting for an organ transplant; Whereas on average, 18 people die every day of every year while waiting for an organ donation; Whereas over 100,000,000 people in the United States are registered to be organ and tissue donors, yet the demand for donated organs still outweighs the supply of organs made available each day; Whereas many people do not know about their options for organ and tissue donation, or have not made their wishes clear to their families; Whereas organ and tissue donation can give meaning to the tragic loss of a loved one by enabling up to 8 people to receive the gift of life from a single deceased donor; Whereas living donors can donate a kidney or a portion of a lung or liver to save the life of another individual; and Whereas April is traditionally recognized as National Donate Life Month : Now, therefore, be it\n\nThat the Senate— (1) supports the goals and ideals of National Donate Life Month ; (2) supports promoting awareness of organ donation; (3) encourages States, localities, and the territories and possessions of the United States to support the goals and ideals of National Donate Life Month by issuing proclamations designating April 2014 as National Donate Life Month; (4) commends the generous gift of life provided by individuals who indicate their wish to become organ donors; (5) acknowledges the grief of families facing the loss of a loved one and commends those families who, in their grief, choose to donate the organs of their deceased family member; (6) recognizes the generous contribution made by each living individual who has donated an organ to save a life; (7) acknowledges the advances in medical technology that have enabled organ transplantation with organs donated by living individuals to become a viable treatment option for an increasing number of patients; (8) commends the medical professionals and organ transplantation experts who have worked to improve the process of living organ donation and increase the number of living donors; and (9) salutes all individuals who have helped to give the gift of life by supporting, promoting, and encouraging organ donation.",

RES. 426 IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES April 29, 2014 Mr. Coons (for himself, Mr. Wicker , Mr. Boozman , Mr. Brown , Mr. Cochran , Mr. Inhofe , Mr. Durbin , Mr. Rubio , and Mr. Kirk ) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations RESOLUTION Supporting the goals and ideals of World Malaria Day.\n\nWhereas April 25th of each year is recognized internationally as World Malaria Day; Whereas malaria is a leading cause of death and disease in many developing countries, despite being preventable and treatable; Whereas fighting malaria is in the national security interest of the United States, as reducing the risk of malaria protects members of the United States Armed Forces serving overseas in malaria-endemic regions, and reducing malaria deaths helps to lower risks of instability in less developed countries; Whereas support for efforts to fight malaria is in the diplomatic and moral interests of the United States, as that support generates goodwill toward the United States and highlights the values of the people of the United States through the work of governmental, nongovernmental, and faith-based organizations of the United States; Whereas efforts to fight malaria are in the long-term economic interest of the United States because those efforts help developing countries identify at-risk populations, provide better health services, produce healthier and more productive workforces, advance economic development, and promote stronger trading partners; Whereas 90 percent of all malaria deaths in the world are in sub-Saharan Africa; Whereas young children and pregnant women are particularly vulnerable to and disproportionately affected by malaria; Whereas malaria greatly affects child health, as children under the age of 5 accounted for an estimated 77 percent of malaria deaths in 2012; Whereas malaria poses great risks to maternal and neonatal health, causing complications during delivery, anemia, and low birth weights, with estimates that malaria causes approximately 10,000 cases maternal deaths and over 200,000 infant deaths annually in Africa; Whereas heightened national, regional, and international efforts to prevent and treat malaria during recent years have made significant progress and helped save hundreds of thousands of lives; Whereas the World Malaria Report 2013 by the World Health Organization states that in 2012, approximately 54 percent of households in sub-Saharan Africa owned at least one insecticide-treated mosquito net, and household surveys indicated that 86 percent of people used an insecticide-treated mosquito net if one was available in the household; Whereas the World Malaria Report 2013 further states that between 2000 and 2012, malaria mortality rates decreased by 45 percent around the world and by 45 percent in the African Region of the World Health Organization, and an estimated 3,300,000 lives were spared from malaria globally, 90 percent of which were children under five in sub-Saharan Africa. Whereas the World Malaria Report 2013 further states that out of 97 countries with ongoing transmission of malaria in 2013, 12 countries are classified as being in the pre-elimination phase of malaria control, 7 countries are classified as being in the elimination phase, and 7 countries are classified as being in the prevention of introduction phase; Whereas, according to the World Malaria Report 2013, there were 207,000,000 cases of malaria globally in 2012, resulting in an estimated 627,000 deaths; Whereas continued national, regional, and international investment in efforts to eliminate malaria, including prevention and treatment efforts, the development of a vaccine to immunize children from the malaria parasite, and advancements in insecticides, are critical in order to continue to reduce malaria deaths, prevent backsliding in areas where progress has been made, and equip the United States and the global community with the tools necessary to eliminate malaria and other global health threats; Whereas the United States Government has played a leading role in the recent progress made toward reducing the global burden of malaria, particularly through the President's Malaria Initiative (PMI) and the contribution of the United States to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria; Whereas, in May 2011, an independent, external evaluation, prepared through the Global Health Technical Assistance Project, examining 6 objectives of the President's Malaria Initiative, found the President's Malaria Initiative to be a successful, well-led component of the Global Health Initiative that has earned and deserves the task of sustaining and expanding the United States Government's response to global malaria control efforts ; Whereas the United States Government is pursuing a comprehensive approach to ending malaria deaths through the President's Malaria Initiative, which is led by the United States Agency for International Development and implemented with assistance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Department of State, the Department of Health and Human Services, the National Institutes of Health, the Department of Defense, and private sector entities; Whereas, in 2014, the President’s Malaria Initiative Report found that, in 2013, the PMI alone had protected more than 21,000,000 residents by spraying over 5,000,000 houses with insecticides, procured more than 40,000,000 long-lasting ITNs, procured more than 10,000,000 sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine treatments for intermittent preventive treatment (IPTp) in pregnant women, trained more than 16,000 health workers in IPTp, procured more than 48,000,000 treatments of artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT) and over 51,000,000 malaria rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs), and trained more than 61,000 health workers in treatment of malaria with ACTs and more than 26,000 health workers in laboratory diagnosis of malaria; Whereas the President's Malaria Initiative focuses on helping partner countries achieve major improvements in overall health outcomes through improved access to, and quality of, healthcare services in locations with limited resources; and Whereas the President's Malaria Initiative, recognizing the burden of malaria on many partner countries, has set a target of reducing the burden of malaria by 50 percent for 450,000,000 people, representing 70 percent of the at-risk population in Africa, by 2015: Now, therefore, be it\n\nThat the Senate— (1) supports the goals and ideals of World Malaria Day, including the target of ending malaria deaths by 2015; (2) recognizes the importance of reducing malaria prevalence and deaths to improve overall child and maternal health, especially in sub-Saharan Africa; (3) commends the recent progress made toward reducing global malaria morbidity, mortality, and prevalence, particularly through the efforts of the President's Malaria Initiative and the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria; (4) supports ongoing public-private partnerships to research and develop more effective and affordable tools for malaria diagnosis, treatment, and vaccination; (5) recognizes the goals, priorities, and authorities to combat malaria set forth in the Tom Lantos and Henry J. Hyde United States Global Leadership Against HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria Reauthorization Act of 2008 (Public Law 110–293); (6) supports continued leadership by the United States in bilateral, multilateral, and private sector efforts to combat malaria and to work with developing countries to create long-term strategies to increase ownership over malaria programs; and (7) encourages other members of the international community to sustain and increase their support for and financial contributions to efforts to combat malaria worldwide.",

goals and ideals of World Malaria Day.\n </official-title>\n </form>\n <preamble>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas April 25th of each year is recognized internationally as World Malaria Day;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas malaria is a leading cause of death and disease in many developing countries, despite being\n\t\t\t preventable and treatable;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas fighting malaria is in the national security interest of the United States, as reducing the\n\t\t\t risk of malaria protects members of the United States Armed Forces\n\t\t\t serving overseas in malaria-endemic regions, and reducing malaria deaths\n\t\t\t helps to lower risks of instability in less developed countries;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas support for efforts to fight malaria is in the diplomatic and moral interests of the United\n\t\t\t States, as that support generates goodwill toward the United States and\n\t\t\t highlights the values of the people of the United States through the work\n\t\t\t of governmental, nongovernmental, and faith-based organizations of the\n\t\t\t United States;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas efforts to fight malaria are in the long-term economic interest of the United States\n\t\t\t because those efforts help developing countries identify at-risk\n\t\t\t populations, provide better health services, produce healthier and more\n\t\t\t productive workforces, advance economic development, and promote stronger\n\t\t\t trading partners;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas 90 percent of all malaria deaths in the world are in sub-Saharan Africa;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas young children and pregnant women are particularly vulnerable to and disproportionately\n\t\t\t affected by malaria;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas malaria greatly affects child health, as children under the age of 5 accounted for an\n\t\t\t estimated 77 percent of malaria deaths in 2012;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas malaria poses great risks to maternal and neonatal health, causing complications during\n\t\t\t delivery, anemia, and low birth weights, with estimates that malaria\n\t\t\t causes approximately 10,000 cases maternal deaths and over 200,000 infant\n\t\t\t deaths annually in Africa;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas heightened national, regional, and international efforts to prevent and treat malaria\n\t\t\t during recent years have made significant progress and helped save\n\t\t\t hundreds of thousands of lives;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas the World Malaria Report 2013 by the World Health Organization states that in 2012,\n\t\t\t approximately 54 percent of households in sub-Saharan Africa owned at\n\t\t\t least one insecticide-treated mosquito net, and household surveys\n\t\t\t indicated that 86 percent of people used an insecticide-treated mosquito\n\t\t\t net if one was available in the household;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas the World Malaria Report 2013 further states that between 2000 and 2012, malaria mortality\n\t\t\t rates decreased by 45 percent around the world and by 45 percent in the\n\t\t\t African Region of the World Health Organization, and an estimated\n\t\t\t 3,300,000 lives were spared from malaria globally, 90 percent of which\n\t\t\t were\n\t\t\t children under five in sub-Saharan Africa.\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas the World Malaria Report 2013 further states that out of 97 countries with ongoing\n\t\t\t transmission of malaria in 2013, 12 countries are classified as being in\n\t\t\t the pre-elimination phase of malaria control, 7 countries are classified\n\t\t\t as being in the elimination phase, and 7 countries are classified as being\n\t\t\t in the prevention of introduction phase;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas, according to the World Malaria Report 2013, there were 207,000,000 cases of malaria\n\t\t\t globally in 2012, resulting in an estimated 627,000 deaths;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas continued national, regional, and international investment in efforts to eliminate malaria,\n\t\t\t including prevention and treatment efforts, the development of a vaccine\n\t\t\t to immunize children from the malaria parasite, and advancements in\n\t\t\t insecticides, are critical in order to continue to reduce malaria deaths,\n\t\t\t prevent backsliding in areas where progress has been made, and equip the\n\t\t\t United States and the global community with the tools necessary to\n\t\t\t eliminate malaria and other global health threats;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas the United States Government has played a leading role in the recent progress made toward\n\t\t\t reducing the global burden of malaria, particularly through the\n\t\t\t President's Malaria Initiative (PMI) and the contribution of the United\n\t\t\t States to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas, in May 2011, an independent, external evaluation, prepared through the Global Health\n\t\t\t Technical Assistance Project, examining 6 objectives of the President's\n\t\t\t Malaria Initiative, found the President's Malaria Initiative to be a\n\t\t\t successful, well-led\n <deleted-phrase committee-id=\"SSFR00\" reported-display-style=\"strikethrough\">\n component of the Global Health Initiative\n </deleted-phrase>\n <added-phrase committee-id=\"SSFR00\" reported-display-style=\"italic\">\n program\n </added-phrase>\n that has\n <quote>\n earned and deserves the task of sustaining and expanding the United States Government's response\n\t\t\t to global malaria control efforts\n </quote>\n ;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas the United States Government is pursuing a comprehensive approach to ending malaria deaths\n\t\t\t through the President's Malaria Initiative, which is led by the United\n\t\t\t States Agency for International Development and implemented with\n\t\t\t assistance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the\n\t\t\t Department of State, the Department of Health and Human Services, the\n\t\t\t National Institutes of Health, the Department of Defense, and private\n\t\t\t sector entities;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas, in 2014, the President’s Malaria Initiative Report found that, in 2013, the PMI alone had\n\t\t\t protected more than 21,000,000 residents by spraying over 5,000,000 houses\n\t\t\t with insecticides, procured more than 40,000,000 long-lasting ITNs,\n\t\t\t procured more than 10,000,000 sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine treatments for\n\t\t\t intermittent preventive treatment (IPTp) in pregnant women, trained more\n\t\t\t than 16,000 health workers in IPTp, procured more than 48,000,000\n\t\t\t treatments of artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT) and over\n\t\t\t 51,000,000 malaria rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs), and trained more than\n\t\t\t 61,000 health workers in treatment of malaria with ACTs and more than\n\t\t\t 26,000 health workers in laboratory diagnosis of malaria;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas the President's Malaria Initiative focuses on helping partner countries achieve major\n\t\t\t improvements in overall health outcomes through improved access to, and\n\t\t\t quality of, healthcare services in locations with limited resources; and\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas the President's Malaria Initiative, recognizing the burden of malaria on many partner\n\t\t\t countries, has set a target of reducing the burden of malaria by 50\n\t\t\t percent for 450,000,000 people, representing 70 percent of the at-risk\n\t\t\t population in Africa, by 2015: Now, therefore, be it\n </text>\n </whereas>\n </preamble>\n <resolution-body>\n <section display-inline=\"yes-display-inline\" id=\"S1\"

RES. 427 IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES April 29, 2014 Mr. Cardin (for himself and Mr. Grassley ) submitted the following resolution; which was considered and agreed to RESOLUTION Expressing the sense of the Senate about the importance of effective civic education programs in schools in the United States.\n\nWhereas civic education is essential to the preservation and improvement of the constitutional government of the United States; Whereas civic education programs foster understanding of the history and principles of the constitutional government of the United States, including principles that are embodied in certain fundamental documents and speeches, such as the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution of the United States, the Bill of Rights, the Federalist Papers, the Gettysburg Address, and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech; Whereas research shows that too few people in the United States understand basic principles of the constitutional government of the United States, such as the natural rights set forth in the Declaration of Independence, the existence and functions of the 3 branches of the Federal Government, checks and balances, and other concepts fundamental to informed citizenship; Whereas since the founding of the United States, schools in the United States have had a strong civic mission to prepare students to be informed, rational, humane, and involved citizens who are committed to the values and principles of the constitutional government of the United States; Whereas a free society relies on the knowledge, skills, and virtue of the citizens of such society, particularly the individuals elected to public office to represent such citizens; Whereas while many institutions help to develop the knowledge and skills and shape the civic character of people in the United States, schools in the United States, including elementary schools, bear a special and historic responsibility for the development of civic competence and civic responsibility of students; Whereas student learning is enhanced by well-designed classroom civic education programs that— (1) incorporate instruction in government, history, law, and democracy; (2) promote discussion of current events and controversial issues; (3) link community service and the formal curriculum; and (4) encourage students to participate in simulations of democratic processes; and Whereas research shows that the knowledge and expertise of teachers are among the most important factors in increasing student achievement: Now, therefore, be it\n\nThat it is the sense of the Senate that— (1) civic education is essential to the well-being of the constitutional government of the United States; (2) comprehensive and formal instruction in civics and government provides students with a basis for understanding the rights and responsibilities of citizens in the constitutional government of the United States; (3) elementary and secondary schools in the United States are encouraged to offer courses on history and theories of the constitutional government of the United States, using programs and curricula with a demonstrated effectiveness in fostering civic competence, civic responsibility, and a reasoned commitment to the fundamental values and principles underlying the constitutional government of the United States; and (4) all teachers of civics and government are well served by having access to adequate opportunities to enrich teaching through professional development programs that enhance the capacity of such teachers to provide effective civic education in the classroom.",

RES. 428 IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES April 29, 2014 Mr. Cardin (for himself, Mr. Schatz , and Mr. Menendez ) submitted the following resolution; which was considered and agreed to RESOLUTION Promoting minority health awareness and supporting the goals and ideals of National Minority Health Month in April 2014, which include bringing attention to the health disparities faced by minority populations of the United States, such as American Indians, Alaska Natives, Asian Americans, African Americans, Hispanic Americans, and Native Hawaiians or other Pacific Islanders.\n\nWhereas through the National Stakeholder Strategy for Achieving Health Equity and the HHS Action Plan to Reduce Racial and Ethnic Health Disparities , the Department of Health and Human Services has set goals and strategies to advance the safety, health, and well-being of people of the United States; Whereas a study by the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies, entitled The Economic Burden of Health Inequalities in the United States , concludes that, between 2003 and 2006, the combined cost of “health inequalities and premature death in the United States” was $1,240,000,000,000; Whereas the Department of Health and Human Services has identified 6 main categories in which racial and ethnic minorities experience the most disparate access to health care and health outcomes, including infant mortality, cancer screening and management, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, HIV/AIDS, and immunizations; Whereas African-American women are more than twice as likely to die of cervical cancer than White women and are more likely to die of breast cancer than women of any other racial or ethnic group; Whereas the death rate from stroke is 50 percent higher among African Americans than among Whites; Whereas Native Hawaiians living in Hawaii are 5.7 times more likely to die of diabetes than non-Hispanic Whites living in Hawaii; Whereas in 2011, Asian Americans were 2.9 times more likely than Whites to contract Hepatitis A; Whereas among all ethnic groups in 2011, Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders had the highest incidence of Hepatitis A; Whereas Asian-American women are 1.5 times more likely than non-Hispanic Whites to die from viral hepatitis; Whereas Asian Americans are 5.5 times more likely than Whites to develop chronic Hepatitis B; Whereas in 2011, 82 percent of children born infected with HIV belonged to minority groups; Whereas the Department of Health and Human Services has identified diseases of the heart, malignant neoplasm, unintentional injuries, and diabetes as some of the leading causes of death among American Indians and Alaska Natives; Whereas American Indians and Alaska Natives die from diabetes, alcoholism, unintentional injuries, homicide, and suicide at higher rates than other people in the United States; Whereas American Indians and Alaska Natives have a life expectancy that is 4.2 years shorter than the life expectancy of the overall population of the United States; Whereas marked differences in the social determinants of health, described by the World Health Organization as “the high burden of illness responsible for appalling premature loss of life [that] arises in large part because of the conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work, and age”, lead to poor health outcomes and declines in longevity; and Whereas community-based health care initiatives, such as prevention-focused programs, present a unique opportunity to use innovative approaches to improve health care practices across the United States and sharply reduce disparities among racial and ethnic minority populations: Now, therefore, be it\n\nThat the Senate supports the goals and ideals of National Minority Health Month in April 2014, which include bringing attention to the severe health disparities faced by minority populations in the United States, such as American Indians, Alaska Natives, Asian Americans, African Americans, Hispanic Americans, and Native Hawaiians or other Pacific Islanders.",

RES. 433 IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES May 1, 2014 Ms. Landrieu (for herself, Mrs. Boxer , Mr. Inhofe , Mr. Durbin , Mr. Coons , Mr. Menendez , Mr. Rubio , Mr. Isakson , Mr. Brown , Mr. Blumenthal , Ms. Klobuchar , Mr. Markey , Mrs. Shaheen , Mr. Cardin , Mr. Portman , Mrs. Murray , Ms. Stabenow , Mr. Udall of Colorado , Mrs. Gillibrand , Mr. Kirk , Mr. Cornyn , Ms. Mikulski , Ms. Collins , Mr. Casey , Ms. Hirono , Mr. Murphy , and Mr. Barrasso ) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations May 6, 2014 Committee discharged; considered and agreed to RESOLUTION Condemning the abduction of female students by armed militants from the Government Girls Secondary School in the northeastern province of Borno in the Federal Republic of Nigeria.\n\nWhereas, on the night of April 14, 2014, as many as 234 female students, most of them between 16 and 18 years old, were abducted by armed militants from the Government Girls Secondary School, a boarding school located in the northeastern province of Borno in the Federal Republic of Nigeria; Whereas the militants burned down several buildings before opening fire on soldiers and police who were guarding the school and forcing the students into trucks; Whereas, according to local officials in Borno state, about 43 students were able to flee their captors, and the rest remain missing; Whereas all public secondary schools in Borno state were closed in March 2014 because of increasing attacks in the past year that have killed hundreds of students, but the young women at the Government Girls Secondary School were recalled to take their final exams; Whereas the group popularly known as Boko Haram , which loosely translates from the Hausa language to Western education is sin , is known to oppose the education of girls, has kidnapped girls in the past to use as cooks and sex slaves, and is thought to be responsible for the April 14th kidnapping in Borno state; Whereas there are reports that the abducted girls have been sold as brides to Islamist militants for the equivalent of $12 each; Whereas Boko Haram has targeted schools, mosques, churches, villages, and agricultural centers, as well as government facilities, in an armed campaign to create an Islamic state in northern Nigeria, prompting the president of Nigeria to declare a state of emergency in three of the country’s northeastern states in May 2013; Whereas, according to the Brookings Institution, Boko Haram burned down or destroyed 50 schools and killed approximately 30 teachers in Nigeria in 2013, leaving tens of thousands of children unable to attend school; Whereas, on April 14, 2014, hours before the kidnapping in Borno state, Boko Haram bombed a bus station in Abuja, Nigeria, killing at least 75 people and wounding over 100, making it the deadliest attack ever in Nigeria's capital; Whereas Amnesty International estimates that more than 1,500 people have been killed in attacks by Boko Haram or reprisals by Nigerian security forces this year alone, and the Council on Foreign Relations estimates that almost 4,000 people have been killed in Boko Haram attacks since 2011; Whereas the Department of State designated Boko Haram as a Foreign Terrorist Organization in November 2013, recognizing the threat posed by the group’s large-scale and indiscriminate attacks against women and children; Whereas, according to the United Nations, girls’ education is a major challenge in Nigeria; Whereas, according to the United Nations Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF), some 4,700,000 children of primary school age are still not in school in Nigeria, with attendance rates lowest in the north; Whereas a study conducted by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) found that school children in Nigeria, particularly those in the northern provinces, are at a disadvantage in their education, with 37 percent of primary-age girls in the rural northeast not attending school, and 30 percent of boys not attending school; Whereas, according to the World Economic Forum’s Global Gender Gap Index, Nigeria is ranked 106 out of 136 countries based on women’s economic participation, educational attainment, and political empowerment; Whereas, according to the United Nations, women held only 6.7 percent of the seats in Nigeria’s parliament in 2013; Whereas the advancement of women around the world is a foreign policy priority for the United States; Whereas, according to the United States Agency for International Development, “Broader, more equitable access to education encourages political participation, enhances governance, strengthens civil society, and promotes transparency and accountability.”; Whereas a 100-country study by the World Bank shows that increasing the share of women with a secondary education by 1 percent boosts annual per capita income growth by 0.3 percentage points; Whereas, according to UNICEF, adolescent girls that attend school are less likely to be married as children, are less vulnerable to disease including HIV and AIDS, and acquire information and skills that lead to increased earning power. Evidence shows that the return to a year of secondary education for girls correlates to a 25 percent increase in wages later in life. ; Whereas, according to the World Bank, The benefits of women's education go beyond higher productivity for 50 percent of the population. More educated women also tend to be healthier, participate more in the formal labor market, earn more income, … and provide better health care and education to their children, all of which eventually improve the well-being of all individuals and lift households out of poverty. These benefits also transmit across generations, as well as to their communities at large. ; and Whereas women and girls must be allowed to go to school without fear of violence and unjust treatment so that they can take their rightful place as equal citizens of and contributors to the world: Now, therefore, be it\n\nThat the Senate— (1) expresses its strong support for the people of Nigeria, especially the parents and families of the girls abducted by Boko Haram in Borno state, and calls for the immediate, safe return of the girls; (2) condemns Boko Haram for its violent attacks on civilian targets, including schools, mosques, churches, villages, and agricultural centers in Nigeria; (3) encourages the Government of Nigeria to strengthen efforts to protect the ability of children to obtain an education and to hold those who conduct such violent attacks accountable; (4) encourages efforts by the United States Government to support the capacity of the Government of Nigeria to provide security for schools and to hold terrorist organizations, such as Boko Haram, accountable; (5) urges timely civilian assistance from the United States and allied African nations in rescuing and reintegrating the abducted girls; (6) recognizes that every individual, regardless of gender, should have the opportunity to pursue an education without fear of discrimination; (7) reaffirms its commitment to ending discrimination and violence against women and girls, to ensuring the safety and welfare of women and girls, and to pursuing policies that guarantee the basic human rights of women and girls worldwide; (8) recognizes that the empowerment of women is inextricably linked to the potential of countries to generate economic growth, sustainable democracy, and inclusive security; and (9) encourages the Department of State, the United States Agency for International Development, and the Department of Defense to continue their support for initiatives that positively impact the ability of women and girls to fully access their human rights.",

RES. 433 IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES May 1, 2014 Ms. Landrieu (for herself, Mrs. Boxer , Mr. Inhofe , Mr. Durbin , Mr. Coons , and Mr. Menendez ) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations RESOLUTION Condemning the abduction of female students by armed militants from the Government Girls Secondary School in the northeastern province of Borno in the Federal Republic of Nigeria.\n\nWhereas, on the night of April 14, 2014, as many as 234 female students, most of them between 16 and 18 years old, were abducted by armed militants from the Government Girls Secondary School, a boarding school located in the northeastern province of Borno in the Federal Republic of Nigeria; Whereas the militants burned down several buildings before opening fire on soldiers and police who were guarding the school and forcing the students into trucks; Whereas, according to local officials in Borno state, about 43 students were able to flee their captors, and the rest remain missing; Whereas all public secondary schools in Borno state were closed in March 2014 because of increasing attacks in the past year that have killed hundreds of students, but the young women at the Government Girls Secondary School were recalled to take their final exams; Whereas the group popularly known as Boko Haram , which loosely translates from the Hausa language to Western education is sin , is known to oppose the education of girls, has kidnapped girls in the past to use as cooks and sex slaves, and is thought to be responsible for the April 14th kidnapping in Borno state; Whereas there are reports that the abducted girls have been sold as brides to Islamist militants for the equivalent of $12 each; Whereas Boko Haram has targeted schools, mosques, churches, villages, and agricultural centers, as well as government facilities, in an armed campaign to create an Islamic state in northern Nigeria, prompting the president of Nigeria to declare a state of emergency in three of the country’s northeastern states in May 2013; Whereas, according to the Brookings Institution, Boko Haram burned down or destroyed 50 schools and killed approximately 30 teachers in Nigeria in 2013, leaving tens of thousands of children unable to attend school; Whereas, on April 14, 2014, hours before the kidnapping in Borno state, Boko Haram bombed a bus station in Abuja, Nigeria, killing at least 75 people and wounding over 100, making it the deadliest attack ever in Nigeria's capital; Whereas Amnesty International estimates that more than 1,500 people have been killed in attacks by Boko Haram or reprisals by Nigerian security forces this year alone, and the Council on Foreign Relations estimates that almost 4,000 people have been killed in Boko Haram attacks since 2011; Whereas the Department of State designated Boko Haram as a Foreign Terrorist Organization in November 2013, recognizing the threat posed by the group’s large-scale and indiscriminate attacks against women and children; Whereas, according to the United Nations, girls’ education is a major challenge in Nigeria; Whereas, according to the United Nations Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF), some 4,700,000 children of primary school age are still not in school in Nigeria, with attendance rates lowest in the north; Whereas a study conducted by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) found that school children in Nigeria, particularly those in the northern provinces, are at a disadvantage in their education, with 37 percent of primary-age girls in the rural northeast not attending school, and 30 percent of boys not attending school; Whereas, according to the World Economic Forum’s Global Gender Gap Index, Nigeria is ranked 106 out of 136 countries based on women’s economic participation, educational attainment, and political empowerment; Whereas, according to the United Nations, women held only 6.7 percent of the seats in Nigeria’s parliament in 2013; Whereas the advancement of women around the world is a foreign policy priority for the United States; Whereas, according to the United States Agency for International Development, “Broader, more equitable access to education encourages political participation, enhances governance, strengthens civil society, and promotes transparency and accountability.”; Whereas a 100-country study by the World Bank shows that increasing the share of women with a secondary education by 1 percent boosts annual per capita income growth by 0.3 percentage points; Whereas, according to UNICEF, adolescent girls that attend school are less likely to be married as children, are less vulnerable to disease including HIV and AIDS, and acquire information and skills that lead to increased earning power. Evidence shows that the return to a year of secondary education for girls correlates to a 25 percent increase in wages later in life. ; Whereas, according to the World Bank, The benefits of women's education go beyond higher productivity for 50 percent of the population. More educated women also tend to be healthier, participate more in the formal labor market, earn more income, … and provide better health care and education to their children, all of which eventually improve the well-being of all individuals and lift households out of poverty. These benefits also transmit across generations, as well as to their communities at large. ; and Whereas women and girls must be allowed to go to school without fear of violence and unjust treatment so that they can take their rightful place as equal citizens of and contributors to the world: Now, therefore, be it\n\nThat the Senate— (1) expresses its strong support for the people of Nigeria, especially the parents and families of the girls abducted by Boko Haram in Borno state, and calls for the immediate, safe return of the girls; (2) condemns Boko Haram for its violent attacks on civilian targets, including schools, mosques, churches, villages, and agricultural centers in Nigeria; (3) encourages the Government of Nigeria to strengthen efforts to protect the ability of children to obtain an education and to hold those who conduct such violent attacks accountable; (4) encourages efforts by the United States Government to support the capacity of the Government of Nigeria to provide security for schools and to hold terrorist organizations, such as Boko Haram, accountable; (5) urges timely civilian assistance from the United States and allied African nations in rescuing and reintegrating the abducted girls; (6) recognizes that every individual, regardless of gender, should have the opportunity to pursue an education without fear of discrimination; (7) reaffirms its commitment to ending discrimination and violence against women and girls, to ensuring the safety and welfare of women and girls, and to pursuing policies that guarantee the basic human rights of women and girls worldwide; (8) recognizes that the empowerment of women is inextricably linked to the potential of countries to generate economic growth, sustainable democracy, and inclusive security; and (9) encourages the Department of State, the United States Agency for International Development, and the Department of Defense to continue their support for initiatives that positively impact the ability of women and girls to fully access their human rights.",

RES. 437 IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES May 5, 2014 Mr. Udall of Colorado (for himself, Mr. Cornyn , Mr. Heller , Mr. Menendez , Mr. Udall of New Mexico , Mr. Reid , Mr. Cruz , Mr. Bennet , and Mr. Kirk ) submitted the following resolution; which was considered and agreed to RESOLUTION Recognizing the historic significance of the Mexican holiday of Cinco de Mayo.\n\nWhereas May 5, or Cinco de Mayo in Spanish, is celebrated each year as a date of great importance by the Mexican and Mexican-American communities; Whereas the Cinco de Mayo holiday commemorates May 5, 1862, the date on which Mexicans who were struggling for independence and freedom fought the Battle of Puebla; Whereas Cinco de Mayo has become widely celebrated annually by nearly all Mexicans and Mexican-Americans, north and south of the United States-Mexico border; Whereas the Battle of Puebla was but one of the many battles that the courageous Mexican people won in their long and brave struggle for independence and freedom; Whereas the French army, confident that its battle-seasoned troops were far superior to the less-seasoned Mexican troops, expected little or no opposition from the Mexican army; Whereas the French army, which had not experienced defeat against any of the finest troops of Europe in more than half a century, sustained a disastrous loss at the hands of an outnumbered and ill-equipped, but highly spirited and courageous, Mexican army; Whereas, after 3 bloody assaults on Puebla in which more than 1,000 French soldiers lost their lives, the French troops were finally defeated and driven back by the outnumbered Mexican troops; Whereas the courageous spirit that Mexican General Ignacio Zaragoza and his men displayed during that historic battle can never be forgotten; Whereas many brave Mexicans willingly gave their lives for the causes of justice and freedom in the Battle of Puebla on Cinco de Mayo; Whereas the sacrifice of the Mexican fighters was instrumental in keeping Mexico from falling under European domination while, in the United States, the Union Army battled Confederate forces in the Civil War; Whereas Cinco de Mayo serves as a reminder that the foundation of the United States was built by people from many countries and diverse cultures who were willing to fight and die for freedom; Whereas Cinco de Mayo also serves as a reminder of the close ties between the people of Mexico and the people of the United States; Whereas, in a larger sense, Cinco de Mayo symbolizes the right of a free people to self-determination, just as Benito Juarez, the president of Mexico during the Battle of Puebla, once said, El respeto al derecho ajeno es la paz ( Respect for the rights of others is peace ); and Whereas many people celebrate Cinco de Mayo during the entire week in which the date falls: Now, therefore, be it\n\nThat the Senate— (1) recognizes the historic struggle of the people of Mexico for independence and freedom, which Cinco de Mayo commemorates; and (2) encourages the people of the United States to observe Cinco de Mayo with appropriate ceremonies and activities.",

RES. 438 IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES May 6, 2014 Ms. Landrieu (for herself, Mr. Alexander , Mrs. Feinstein , Mr. Carper , Mr. Durbin , Mr. McCain , Mr. Kirk , Mr. Bennet , Mr. Vitter , Mr. Rubio , Mr. Coons , Mr. Isakson , Mr. Burr , Mr. Cornyn , Mr. Graham , and Mr. Scott ) submitted the following resolution; which was considered and agreed to RESOLUTION Congratulating the students, parents, teachers, and administrators of charter schools across the United States for their ongoing contributions to education, and supporting the ideals and goals of the 15th annual National Charter Schools Week, to be held May 4 through May 10, 2014.\n\nWhereas charter schools are public schools that do not charge tuition and enroll any student who wants to attend a charter school, often through a random lottery when too many students want to attend a single charter school; Whereas high-performing charter schools deliver a high-quality public education and challenge all students to reach their potential for academic success; Whereas charter schools promote innovation and excellence in public education; Whereas charter schools throughout the United States provide millions of families with diverse and innovative educational options for their children; Whereas high-performing charter schools are dramatically increasing student achievement and college-going rates; Whereas charter schools are authorized by a designated public entity and— (1) respond to the needs of communities, families, and students in the United States; and (2) promote the principles of quality, accountability, choice, and innovation; Whereas in exchange for flexibility and autonomy, charter schools are held accountable by the public authorizers of such charter schools for improving student achievement and for sound financial and operational management; Whereas charter schools are required to meet the student achievement accountability requirements under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 6301 et seq.) in the same manner as traditional public schools; Whereas charter schools often set higher expectations for students, beyond the requirements under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 6301 et seq.), to ensure that such charter schools are of high quality and truly accountable to the public; Whereas 42 States and the District of Columbia have enacted laws authorizing charter schools; Whereas more than 6,400 charter schools serve more than 2,500,000 children; Whereas in the United States— (1) in 135 school districts, more than 10 percent of public school students are enrolled in charter schools; (2) in 32 school districts, at least 20 percent of public school students are enrolled in charter schools; and (3) in 7 districts, at least 30 percent of public school students are enrolled in charter schools; Whereas charter schools improve the achievement of students enrolled in such charter schools and collaborate with traditional public schools to improve public education for all students; Whereas charter schools— (1) give parents the freedom to choose public schools; (2) routinely measure parental satisfaction levels; and (3) must prove their ongoing success to parents, policymakers, and the communities served by such charter schools; Whereas approximately 920,000 students were on waiting lists to attend charter schools before the beginning of the 2012–2013 academic year; and Whereas the 15th annual National Charter Schools Week is scheduled to be celebrated the week of May 4 through May 10, 2014: Now, therefore, be it\n\nThat the Senate— (1) congratulates the students, families, teachers, and administrators of charter schools across the United States for— (A) their ongoing contributions to education; (B) their impressive strides in closing the academic achievement gap in schools in the United States, particularly schools with some of the most disadvantaged students in both rural and urban communities; and (C) improving and strengthening the public school system in the United States; (2) supports the ideals and goals of the 15th annual National Charter Schools Week, a week-long celebration to be held the week of May 4 through May 10, 2014, in communities throughout the United States; and (3) encourages the people of the United States to hold appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities during National Charter Schools Week to demonstrate support for charter schools.",

RES. 439 IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES May 6, 2014 Mr. Blumenthal (for himself, Mr. Rockefeller , Mr. Thune , and Mr. Blunt ) submitted the following resolution; which was considered and agreed to RESOLUTION Supporting the goals and ideals of National Safe Digging Month.\n\nWhereas each year, the underground utility infrastructure of the United States, including pipelines, electric, gas, telecommunications, water, sewer, and cable television lines, is jeopardized by unintentional damage caused by those who fail to have underground lines located prior to digging; Whereas some utility lines are buried only a few inches underground, making the lines easy to strike, even during shallow digging projects; Whereas digging prior to locating underground utility lines often results in unintended consequences, such as service interruption, environmental damage, personal injury, and even death; Whereas the month of April marks the beginning of the peak period during which excavation projects are carried out around the United States; Whereas in 2002, Congress required the Department of Transportation and the Federal Communications Commission to establish a 3-digit, nationwide, toll-free number to be used by State One Call systems to provide information on underground utility lines; Whereas in 2005, the Federal Communications Commission designated 811 as the nationwide One Call number for homeowners and excavators to use to obtain information on underground utility lines before conducting excavation activities; Whereas One Call has helped reduce the number of digging damages caused by failure to call before digging from 48 percent in 2004 to 25 percent in 2012; Whereas the 1,600 members of the Common Ground Alliance, who are dedicated to ensuring public safety, environmental protection, and the integrity of services, promote the national Call Before You Dig campaign to increase public awareness about the importance of homeowners and excavators calling 811 to find out the exact location of underground lines; Whereas the Pipeline Safety, Regulatory Certainty, and Job Creation Act of 2011 affirmed and expanded the One Call program by eliminating exemptions given to local and State government agencies and their contractors on notifying One Call centers before digging; and Whereas the Common Ground Alliance has designated April as National Safe Digging Month to increase awareness of safe digging practices across the United States and to celebrate the anniversary of 811, the national Call Before You Dig number: Now, therefore, be it\n\nThat the Senate— (1) supports the goals and ideals of National Safe Digging Month; and (2) encourages all homeowners and excavators throughout the United States to call 811 before digging.",

RES. 442 IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES May 13, 2014 Ms. Landrieu (for herself, Mr. Grassley , Mr. Kaine , Mr. Crapo , Ms. Heitkamp , Mr. Inhofe , Mr. Levin , Mr. Johanns , Ms. Klobuchar , Mr. Cochran , Mr. Casey , Mr. Hoeven , Mrs. Feinstein , Mr. Blunt , Mr. Wyden , and Mrs. Hagan ) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions RESOLUTION Recognizing National Foster Care Month as an opportunity to raise awareness about the challenges of children in the foster care system, and encouraging Congress to implement policy to improve the lives of children in the foster care system.\n\nWhereas National Foster Care Month was established more than 20 years ago to— (1) bring foster care issues to the forefront; (2) highlight the importance of permanency for every child; and (3) recognize the essential role that foster parents, social workers, and advocates have in the lives of children in foster care throughout the United States; Whereas all children deserve a safe, loving, and permanent home; Whereas the primary goal of the foster care system is to ensure the safety and well-being of children while working to provide a safe, loving, and permanent home for each child; Whereas there are approximately 400,000 children living in foster care; Whereas there were approximately 252,000 youth that entered the foster care system in 2012, while nearly 102,000 youth were eligible and awaiting adoption at the end of 2012; Whereas foster care is intended to be a temporary placement, but children remain in the foster care system for an average of 2 years; Whereas ethnic minority children are more likely to stay in the foster care system for longer periods of time and are less likely to be reunited with their biological families; Whereas foster parents are the front-line caregivers for children who cannot safely remain with their biological parents and provide physical care, emotional support, education advocacy, and are the largest single source of families providing permanent homes for children leaving foster care to adoption; Whereas children in foster care who are placed with relatives, compared to children placed with nonrelatives, have more stability, including fewer changes in placements, have more positive perceptions of their placements, are more likely to be placed with their siblings, and demonstrate fewer behavioral problems; Whereas some relative caregivers receive less financial assistance and support services than do foster caregivers; Whereas recent studies show children in foster care are prescribed psychotropic medication at rates up to 11 times higher than other children on Medicaid and in amounts that exceed the Food and Drug Administration’s guidelines; Whereas youth in foster care are much more likely to face educational instability with 34 percent of foster youth ages 17 to 18 experiencing at least 7 changes while in care; Whereas youth in foster care are often cut off from other youth and face hurdles in participating in activities common to their peers, such as sports or extracurricular activities; Whereas youth in foster care are more susceptible to being trafficked, and more needs to be done to prevent, identify, and intervene when a child becomes a victim of the crime; Whereas an increased emphasis on prevention and reunification services is necessary to reduce the number of children that are forced to remain in the foster care system; Whereas more than 23,400 youth age out of foster care annually without a legal permanent connection to an adult or family; Whereas children who age out of foster care lack the security or support of a biological or adoptive family and frequently struggle to secure affordable housing, obtain health insurance, pursue higher education, and acquire adequate employment; Whereas nearly half of children in foster care for five or more years experience 7 or more different foster care placements, which often leads to disruption of routines and the need to change schools and move away from siblings, extended families, and familiar surroundings; Whereas children entering foster care often confront the widespread misperception that children in foster care are disruptive, unruly, and dangerous, even though placement in foster care is based on the actions of a parent or guardian, not the child; Whereas States, localities, and communities should be encouraged to invest resources in preventative and reunification services and post-permanency programs to ensure that more children in foster care are provided with safe, loving, and permanent placements; Whereas Federal legislation over the past three decades, including the Adoption Assistance and Child Welfare Act of 1980 ( Public Law 96–272 ), the Adoption and Safe Families Act of 1997 ( Public Law 105–89 ), the Fostering Connections to Success and Increasing Adoptions Act of 2008 ( Public Law 110–351 ), the Child and Family Services Improvement and Innovation Act (Public Law 112–34), and the Uninterrupted Scholars Act ( Public Law 112–278 ) provided new investments and services to improve the outcomes of children in the foster care system; Whereas the Children's Bureau of the Department of Health and Human Services has designated May as National Foster Care Month under the theme to help build blocks toward permanent families for foster youth ; Whereas May would be an appropriate month to designate as National Foster Care Month to provide an opportunity to acknowledge the accomplishments of the child-welfare workforce, foster parents, advocacy community, and mentors for their dedication, accomplishments, and positive impact they have on the lives of children; and Whereas much remains to be done to ensure that all children have a safe, loving, nurturing, and permanent family, regardless of age or special needs: Now, therefore, be it\n\nThat the Senate— (1) recognizes National Foster Care Month as an opportunity to raise awareness about the challenges that children face in the foster care system; (2) encourages Congress to implement policy to improve the lives of children in the foster care system and maximize the number children exiting foster care to the protection of safe, loving, and permanent families; (3) supports the designation of National Foster Care Month; (4) acknowledges the unique needs of children in the foster care system; (5) recognizes foster youth throughout the United States for their ongoing tenacity, courage, and resilience while facing life challenges; (6) acknowledges the exceptional alumni of the foster care system who serve as advocates and role models for youth who remain in care; (7) honors the commitment and dedication of the individuals who work tirelessly to provide assistance and services to children in the foster care system; and (8) reaffirms the need to continue working to improve the outcomes of all children in the foster care system through parts B and E of title IV of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) and other programs designed to— (A) support vulnerable families; (B) invest in prevention and reunification services; (C) promote guardianship, adoption, and other permanent placement opportunities in cases where reunification is not in the best interests of the child; (D) adequately serve those children brought into the foster care system; and (E) facilitate the successful transition into adulthood for children that age out of the foster care system.",

RES. 447 IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES May 15, 2014 Mr. Casey (for himself and Mr. Rubio ) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations RESOLUTION Recognizing the threats to freedom of the press and expression around the world and reaffirming freedom of the press as a priority in the efforts of the United States Government to promote democracy and good governance.\n\nWhereas Article 19 of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted at Paris December 10, 1948, states that everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive, and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers ; Whereas, in 1993, the United Nations General Assembly proclaimed May 3 of each year as World Press Freedom Day to celebrate the fundamental principles of freedom of the press, to evaluate freedom of the press around the world, to defend the media from attacks on its independence, and to pay tribute to journalists who have lost their lives in the exercise of their profession; Whereas, on December 18, 2013, the United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution (A/RES/68/163) on the safety of journalists and the issue of impunity, which unequivocally condemns all attacks and violence against journalists and media workers, including torture, extrajudicial killings, enforced disappearances, arbitrary detention, and intimidation and harassment in both conflict and non-conflict situations; Whereas 2014 is the 21st anniversary of World Press Freedom Day, which focuses on the theme Media Freedom for a Better Future: Shaping the Post-2015 Development Agenda ; Whereas the Daniel Pearl Freedom of the Press Act of 2009 (Public Law 111–16622; U.S.C. 2151 note), which was passed by unanimous consent in the Senate and signed into law by President Barack Obama in 2010, expanded the examination of freedom of the press around the world in the annual human rights report of the Department of State; Whereas, according to Reporters Without Borders, 71 journalists and 39 citizen journalists were killed in 2013 in connection with their collection and dissemination of news and information; Whereas, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists, the 3 deadliest countries for journalists on assignment in 2013 were Syria, Iraq, and Egypt, and in Syria, the deadliest country for such journalists, an unprecedented number of journalists were abducted; Whereas, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists, 617 journalists have been murdered since 1992 without the perpetrators of such crimes facing punishment; Whereas, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists, the 5 countries with the highest number of unsolved journalist murders are Iraq, the Philippines, Algeria, Colombia, and Somalia; Whereas, according to Reporters Without Borders, 826 journalists and 127 citizen journalists were arrested in 2013; Whereas, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists, 211 journalists worldwide were in prison on December 1, 2013; Whereas, according to Reporters Without Borders, the 5 countries with the highest number of journalists in prison are Syria, China, Eritrea, Turkey, and Iran; Whereas, according to Reporters Without Borders, the Government of Syria and extremist rebel militias have intentionally targeted journalists, causing dramatic repercussions for the freedom of the press throughout the region; Whereas the Government of the Russian Federation has engaged in an unprecedented campaign to silence the independent press and undermine freedom of expression, including its recent efforts to destabilize Ukraine; Whereas freedom of the press is a key component of democratic governance, the activism of civil society, and socioeconomic development; and Whereas freedom of the press enhances public accountability, transparency, and participation: Now, therefore, be it\n\nThat the Senate— (1) expresses concern about the threats to freedom of the press and expression around the world following World Press Freedom Day, held on May 3, 2014; (2) commends journalists and media workers around the world for their essential role in promoting government accountability, defending democratic activity, and strengthening civil society, despite threats to their safety; (3) pays tribute to the journalists who have lost their lives carrying out their work; (4) calls on governments abroad to implement United Nations General Assembly Resolution (A/RES/68/163), by thoroughly investigating and seeking to resolve outstanding cases of violence against journalists, including murders and kidnappings, while ensuring the protection of witnesses; (5) condemns all actions around the world that suppress freedom of the press, such as the recent kidnappings of journalists and media workers in eastern Ukraine by pro-Russian militant groups; (6) reaffirms the centrality of freedom of the press to efforts by the United States Government to support democracy, mitigate conflict, and promote good governance domestically and around the world; and (7) calls on the President and the Secretary of State— (A) to improve the means by which the United States Government rapidly identifies, publicizes, and responds to threats against freedom of the press around the world; (B) to urge foreign governments to transparently investigate and bring to justice the perpetrators of attacks against journalists; and (C) to highlight the issue of threats against freedom of the press year-round.",

RES. 447 IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES May 15, 2014 Mr. Casey (for himself, Mr. Rubio , and Mrs. Shaheen ) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations July 8, 2014 Considered, amended, and agreed to with an amended preamble RESOLUTION Recognizing the threats to freedom of the press and expression around the world and reaffirming freedom of the press as a priority in the efforts of the United States Government to promote democracy and good governance.\n\nWhereas Article 19 of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted at Paris December 10, 1948, states that “everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive, and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers”; Whereas, in 1993, the United Nations General Assembly proclaimed May 3 of each year as “World Press Freedom Day” to celebrate the fundamental principles of freedom of the press, to evaluate freedom of the press around the world, to defend the media from attacks on its independence, and to pay tribute to journalists who have lost their lives in the exercise of their profession; Whereas, on December 18, 2013, the United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution (A/RES/68/163) on the safety of journalists and the issue of impunity, which unequivocally condemns all attacks and violence against journalists and media workers, including torture, extrajudicial killings, enforced disappearances, arbitrary detention, and intimidation and harassment in both conflict and non-conflict situations; Whereas 2014 is the 21st anniversary of World Press Freedom Day, which focuses on the theme “Media Freedom for a Better Future: Shaping the Post-2015 Development Agenda”; Whereas the Daniel Pearl Freedom of the Press Act of 2009 ( 22 U.S.C. 2151 note; Public Law 111–166), which was passed by unanimous consent in the Senate and signed into law by President Barack Obama in 2010, expanded the examination of freedom of the press around the world in the annual human rights report of the Department of State; Whereas according to Reporters Without Borders, 71 journalists and 39 citizen journalists were killed in 2013 in connection with their collection and dissemination of news and information; Whereas according to the Committee to Protect Journalists, the 3 deadliest countries for journalists on assignment in 2013 were Syria, Iraq, and Egypt, and in Syria, the deadliest country for such journalists, an unprecedented number of journalists were abducted; Whereas according to the Committee to Protect Journalists, 617 journalists have been murdered since 1992 without the perpetrators of such crimes facing punishment; Whereas according to the Committee to Protect Journalists, the 5 countries with the highest number of unpunished journalist murders between 2004 to 2013 are Iraq, Somalia, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, and Syria; Whereas according to Reporters Without Borders, 826 journalists and 127 citizen journalists were arrested in 2013; Whereas according to the Committee to Protect Journalists, 211 journalists worldwide were in prison on December 1, 2013; Whereas according to Reporters Without Borders, the 5 countries with the highest number of journalists in prison are Syria, China, Eritrea, Turkey, and Iran; Whereas according to Reporters Without Borders, the Government of Syria and extremist rebel militias have intentionally targeted professional and citizen journalists, causing dramatic repercussions for the freedom of the press throughout the region; Whereas the Government of the Russian Federation has engaged in an unprecedented campaign to silence the independent press and undermine freedom of expression, including its recent efforts to destabilize Ukraine; Whereas Reporters Without Borders has expressed concern that journalists in Cuba have suffered physical attacks, arbitrary detention, and death threats, and have been prevented access to information; Whereas Freedom House has cited a deteriorating environment for internet freedom around the world and has ranked Iran, Cuba, China, Syria, and Ethiopia as having the worst obstacles to access, limits on content, and violations of user rights among the countries and territories rated by Freedom House as “Not Free”; Whereas freedom of the press is a key component of democratic governance, the activism of civil society, and socioeconomic development; and Whereas freedom of the press enhances public accountability, transparency, and participation: Now, therefore, be it\n\nThat the Senate— (1) expresses concern about the threats to freedom of the press and expression around the world following World Press Freedom Day, held on May 3, 2014; (2) commends journalists and media workers around the world for their essential role in promoting government accountability, defending democratic activity, and strengthening civil society, despite threats to their safety; (3) pays tribute to the journalists who have lost their lives carrying out their work; (4) calls on governments abroad to implement United Nations General Assembly Resolution (A/RES/68/163), by thoroughly investigating and seeking to resolve outstanding cases of violence against journalists, including murders and kidnappings, while ensuring the protection of witnesses; (5) condemns all actions around the world that suppress freedom of the press, such as the recent kidnappings of journalists and media workers in eastern Ukraine by pro-Russian militant groups; (6) reaffirms the centrality of freedom of the press to efforts by the United States Government to support democracy, mitigate conflict, and promote good governance domestically and around the world; and (7) calls on the President and the Secretary of State— (A) to ensure that the United States Government rapidly identifies, publicizes, and responds to threats against freedom of the press around the world; (B) to continue to urge foreign governments to transparently investigate and bring to justice the perpetrators of attacks against journalists; and (C) to continue to highlight the issue of threats against freedom of the press year-round.",

RES. 448 IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES May 15, 2014 Mr. Rubio (for himself and Mr. Cruz ) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations RESOLUTION Expressing the sense of the Senate on the policy of the United States regarding stabilizing the currency of Ukraine.\n\nWhereas the territorial integrity of Ukraine has been compromised by the unlawful annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation; Whereas the territorial integrity of Ukraine continues to be under threat because of unlawful provocations by the Russian Federation; Whereas ongoing economic hardships in Ukraine are being exploited by unlawful separatist elements with allegiances to the Russian Federation; Whereas strengthening of the economy of Ukraine can help stabilize the unrest in the southern and eastern parts of Ukraine and support the territorial integrity of Ukraine; Whereas the Russian Federation has declared the Russian ruble to be legal tender in Crimea following its unlawful annexation of Crimea, to circulate in parallel with the hryvnia, the national currency of Ukraine, until January 1, 2016; Whereas the Russian Federation will exploit currency competition between the ruble and the hryvnia during the period both currencies are in circulation in Crimea in an attempt to portray the Russian-controlled managed economy as superior to Western-style democracy and free markets; Whereas a stable national currency can be important to facilitate economic growth; Whereas the hryvnia dropped in value by 35 percent relative to the United States dollar between January and May 2014; Whereas currency boards have a long record of promoting superior performance in countries with emerging markets by spurring higher economic growth rates, lower inflation rates, and more fiscal discipline than central banks that employ floating exchange rates; Whereas the establishment of a national currency board for Ukraine can generate a more stable currency and enhance demand for the hryvnia; Whereas, under a currency board, the hryvnia could be convertible into the United States dollar or the euro, both of which are dominant global reserve currencies; Whereas the ability to convert the hryvnia into the United States dollar or the euro would help make the hryvnia stable and its exchange more reliable; Whereas a stable national currency can boost investor confidence and make Ukraine less susceptible to destabilizing rhetoric from the Russian Federation; Whereas the International Monetary Fund has a long track record of supporting the establishment of currency boards and financial mechanisms that approximate currency boards, notably through the implementation of Article VII of Annex 4 of the General Framework Agreement for Peace in Bosnia and Herzegovina, initialed at Dayton, November 21, 1995 (commonly known as the Dayton Peace Accords ), which mandated a currency board for Bosnia and Herzegovina; Whereas the International Monetary Fund can provide the technical expertise necessary to ensure that a currency board run by monetary authorities in Ukraine is implemented properly; Whereas currency board systems have been designed for other countries in Europe with positive results, including Estonia, Lithuania, and Bosnia and Herzegovina; Whereas the United States Congress sent a strong message of solidarity with the people of Ukraine by passing the Support for the Sovereignty, Integrity, Democracy, and Economic Stability of Ukraine Act of 2014 ( Public Law 113–95 ; 128 Stat. 1088), which included financial assistance for Ukraine; and Whereas strengthening of the national currency of Ukraine and supporting the institution of a disciplined monetary regime would send a powerful signal of support for Ukraine: Now, therefore, be it\n\nThat it is the sense of the Senate that— (1) the United States and Ukraine should examine the benefits of implementing a currency board system as a way to stabilize the national currency of Ukraine and to improve the economy of Ukraine; and (2) if Ukraine decides to pursue the implementation of a currency board system, the United States Secretary of the Treasury should work with the International Monetary Fund to help create a currency board for Ukraine that can assist Ukraine to improve its economy.",

Kennedy designated May 15 as National Peace Officers Memorial Day ; and Whereas, on May 15, 2014, more than 20,000 law enforcement officers are expected to gather in Washington, DC, to join the families of their fallen comrades to honor those comrades and all law enforcement officers who have fallen before them: Now, therefore, be it\n\nThat the Senate— (1) commemorates and acknowledges the dedication and sacrifices of the Federal, State, and local law enforcement officers who have been killed or injured in the line of duty; (2) recognizes May 15, 2014, as National Peace Officers Memorial Day ; and (3) calls on the people of the United States to observe that day with appropriate ceremonies, solemnity, appreciation, and respect.",

RES. 453 IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES May 21, 2014 Mr. Rubio (for himself, Mr. Coons , Mr. Menendez , Mr. Inhofe , Mrs. Fischer , Mr. Cruz , Mr. McCain , Mr. Vitter , Mr. Moran , Mrs. Shaheen , Mr. Boozman , Ms. Ayotte , Mr. Durbin , Mr. Roberts , Mr. Johnson of Wisconsin , Mr. Isakson , Mr. Burr , Ms. Mikulski , and Mr. Coburn ) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations RESOLUTION Condemning the death sentence against Meriam Yahia Ibrahim Ishag, a Sudanese Christian woman accused of apostasy.\n\nWhereas, on May 15, 2014, a Sudanese court affirmed a sentence of death by hanging for 27-year-old Meriam Yahia Ibrahim Ishag, a Christian woman accused of apostasy for refusing to recant her Christian faith, and ordered her to receive 100 lashes for adultery because under Sudan’s Shari’ah law such inter-religious marriages are illegal; Whereas Ibrahim is eight months pregnant and being held in the Omdurman Federal Women’s Prison with her 20-month-old son; Whereas the Department of State has designated Sudan as a Country of Particular Concern under the International Religious Freedom Act of 1998 (Public Law 105–292) based on the government’s systematic, ongoing, and egregious violations of religious freedom since 1999; Whereas the Sudanese 1991 Criminal Code allows for death sentences for apostasy, stoning for adultery, cross-amputations for theft, prison sentences for blasphemy, and floggings for undefined acts of indecency ; Whereas, according to the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF), the Government of Sudan, led by President Omar Hassan al-Bashir, continues to engage in systematic, ongoing, and egregious violations of religious freedom or belief, imposes a restrictive interpretation of Shari’ah law on Muslims and non-Muslims alike and, along with other National Congress Party leaders, President al-Bashir has stated that Sudan’s new constitution, when drafted, will be based on its interpretation of Shari’ah; Whereas, according to USCIRF, since South Sudan’s independence from Sudan in 2011, the number and severity of harsh Shari’ah-based judicial decisions in Sudan has increased, including sentences of amputation for theft and sentences of stoning for adultery; Whereas the United States Government has designated Sudan as a State Sponsor of Terrorism since August 12, 1993, for repeatedly providing support for acts of international terrorism; Whereas the Sudanese 2005 Interim Constitution states that [t]he State shall respect the religious rights to (a) worship or assemble in connection with any religion or belief ; Whereas the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, which the Government of Sudan has acceded, provides that everyone shall have the right to freedom of thought, conscience. and religion.

RES. 454 IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES May 21, 2014 Ms. Murkowski (for herself, Ms. Mikulski , Ms. Warren , and Ms. Collins ) submitted the following resolution; which was considered and agreed to RESOLUTION Recognizing that cardiovascular disease continues to be an overwhelming threat to women’s health and the importance of providing basic, preventive heart screenings to women wherever they seek primary care.\n\nWhereas heart disease remains the leading cause of death for women in the United States, causing 1 in 4 female deaths and more female deaths than all forms of cancer combined; Whereas since 1984, the number of women who have died from heart disease exceeds the number of men who have died from heart disease; Whereas the rate of cardiovascular death is increasing by 1 percent each year among women ages 35 to 44; Whereas heart disease claims the lives of nearly 422,000 women each year; Whereas almost half of African American women have some form of cardiovascular disease, and African American women are more likely to die from heart disease than white women; Whereas heart disease and stroke account for $312,600,000,000 in health care expenditures and lost productivity annually; Whereas only 54 percent of women recognize that heart disease is the leading cause of death for women, and almost 2/3 of women who unexpectedly die of heart disease have no previous symptoms of disease; Whereas many women, especially younger women, may not be aware of their risk for heart disease because they have never gotten a basic, preventive heart screening and have no symptoms; Whereas studies show that nearly 1 in 5 women rely solely on their obstetrician and gynecologist ( OB/GYN ) for primary care, yet only 35 percent of women recall having even discussed heart disease with their OB/GYN; Whereas early identification of cardiovascular disease risk factors such as high blood pressure, smoking, excessive weight and obesity, high cholesterol, and diabetes allows for more effective intervention and treatment, and can dramatically lower a woman’s overall risk of heart disease and heart attack; Whereas the burden of women’s heart disease can be reduced in the United States by encouraging primary care providers to offer women basic, preventative heart disease screenings; Whereas experts recommend and encourage that a basic, preventive heart screening be a routine part of a woman’s visit to a primary care practitioner; and Whereas once women understand their risk, they still need follow-up information, support, and incentives to maintain cardiovascular health and make the most informed decisions: Now, therefore, be it\n\nThat the Senate— (1) recognizes that, despite improved education and awareness, heart disease remains the number 1 killer of women in the United States; (2) recognizes the importance of making basic, preventive cardiovascular screening available for women as recommended, so that all women can know the risks they face and what can be done to reduce them; (3) recognizes that basic, preventive heart disease screenings are recommended to be a routine part of women’s health care; and (4) commits to improving the heart health of all women, tearing down the barriers that prevent women from getting screened for heart disease, ensuring women are provided with personalized lifestyle modification recommendations and support, and ensuring every woman has a healthy heart.",

"tv_txt": "III 113th CONGRESS 2d Session S. RES. 456 IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES May 22, 2014 Ms. Landrieu (for herself, Mr. Grassley , Mr. Blunt , Mr. Casey , Mr. Cochran , Mr. Crapo , Mrs. Feinstein , Mrs. Hagan , Ms. Heitkamp , Mr. Hoeven , Mr. Inhofe , Mr. Johanns , Mr. Kaine , Ms. Klobuchar , Mr. Levin , Mr. Wyden , Mrs. Gillibrand , and Mrs. Boxer ) submitted the following resolution; which was considered and agreed to RESOLUTION Recognizing National Foster Care Month as an opportunity to raise awareness about the challenges of children in the foster care system, and encouraging Congress to implement policy to improve the lives of children in the foster care system.\n\nWhereas National Foster Care Month was established more than 20 years ago to— (1) bring foster care issues to the forefront; (2) highlight the importance of permanency for every child; and (3) recognize the essential role that foster parents, social workers, and advocates have in the lives of children in foster care throughout the United States; Whereas all children deserve a safe, loving, and permanent home; Whereas the primary goal of the foster care system is to ensure the safety and well-being of children while working to provide a safe, loving, and permanent home for each child; Whereas there are approximately 400,000 children living in foster care; Whereas there were approximately 252,000 youth that entered the foster care system in 2012, while nearly 102,000 youth were eligible and awaiting adoption at the end of 2012; Whereas foster care is intended to be a temporary placement, but children remain in the foster care system for an average of 2 years; Whereas ethnic minority children are more likely to stay in the foster care system for longer periods of time and are less likely to be reunited with their biological families; Whereas foster parents are the front-line caregivers for children who cannot safely remain with their biological parents and provide physical care, emotional support, education advocacy, and are the largest single source of families providing permanent homes for children leaving foster care to adoption; Whereas children in foster care who are placed with relatives, compared to children placed with nonrelatives, have more stability, including fewer changes in placements, have more positive perceptions of their placements, are more likely to be placed with their siblings, and demonstrate fewer behavioral problems; Whereas some relative caregivers receive less financial assistance and support services than do foster caregivers; Whereas recent studies show children in foster care are prescribed psychotropic medication at rates up to 11 times higher than other children on Medicaid and in amounts that exceed the Food and Drug Administration’s guidelines; Whereas youth in foster care are much more likely to face educational instability with 34 percent of foster youth ages 17 to 18 experiencing at least 5 changes while in care; Whereas youth in foster care are often cut off from other youth and face hurdles in participating in activities common to their peers, such as sports or extracurricular activities; Whereas youth in foster care are more susceptible to being trafficked, and more needs to be done to prevent, identify, and intervene when a child becomes a victim of the crime; Whereas an increased emphasis on prevention and reunification services is necessary to reduce the number of children that are forced to remain in the foster care system; Whereas more than 23,400 youth age out of foster care annually without a legal permanent connection to an adult or family; Whereas children who age out of foster care lack the security or support of a biological or adoptive family and frequently struggle to secure affordable housing, obtain health insurance, pursue higher education, and acquire adequate employment; Whereas nearly half of children in foster care for five or more years experience 7 or more different foster care placements, which often leads to disruption of routines and the need to change schools and move away from siblings, extended families, and familiar surroundings; Whereas children entering foster care often confront the widespread misperception that children in foster care are disruptive, unruly, and dangerous, even though placement in foster care is based on the actions of a parent or guardian, not the child; Whereas States, localities, and communities should be encouraged to invest resources in preventative and reunification services and post-permanency programs to ensure that more children in foster care are provided with safe, loving, and permanent placements; Whereas Federal legislation over the past three decades, including the Adoption Assistance and Child Welfare Act of 1980 ( Public Law 96–272 ), the Adoption and Safe Families Act of 1997 ( Public Law 105–89 ), the Fostering Connections to Success and Increasing Adoptions Act of 2008 ( Public Law 110–351 ), the Child and Family Services Improvement and Innovation Act (Public Law 112–34), and the Uninterrupted Scholars Act ( Public Law 112–278 ) provided new investments and services to improve the outcomes of children in the foster care system; Whereas the Children's Bureau of the Department of Health and Human Services has designated May as National Foster Care Month under the theme to help build blocks toward permanent families for foster youth ; Whereas May would be an appropriate month to designate as National Foster Care Month to provide an opportunity to acknowledge the accomplishments of the child-welfare workforce, foster parents, advocacy community, and mentors for their dedication, accomplishments, and positive impact they have on the lives of children; and Whereas much remains to be done to ensure that all children have a safe, loving, nurturing, and permanent family, regardless of age or special needs: Now, therefore, be it\n\nThat the Senate— (1) recognizes National Foster Care Month as an opportunity to raise awareness about the challenges that children face in the foster-care system; (2) encourages Congress to implement policy to improve the lives of children in the foster care system and maximize the number children exiting foster care to the protection of safe, loving, and permanent families; (3) supports the designation of National Foster Care Month; (4) acknowledges the unique needs of children in the foster-care system; (5) recognizes foster youth throughout the United States for their ongoing tenacity, courage, and resilience while facing life challenges; (6) acknowledges the exceptional alumni of the foster-care system who serve as advocates and role models for youth who remain in care; (7) honors the commitment and dedication of the individuals who work tirelessly to provide assistance and services to children in the foster-care system; and (8) reaffirms the need to continue working to improve the outcomes of all children in the foster-care system through parts B and E of title IV of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) and other programs designed to— (A) support vulnerable families; (B) invest in prevention and reunification services; (C) promote guardianship, adoption, and other permanent placement opportunities in cases where reunification is not in the best interests of the child;

id=\"H93158C4155174165AC9E3A25CB54DC51\">\n <enum>\n (1)\n </enum>\n <text>\n bring foster care issues to the forefront;\n </text>\n </paragraph>\n <paragraph id=\"HA2B4878B896B461A98E10251D72EE332\">\n <enum>\n (2)\n </enum>\n <text>\n highlight the importance of permanency for every child; and\n </text>\n </paragraph>\n <paragraph id=\"H33E8F92CDAAB46FEBF97169F0E4736C0\">\n <enum>\n (3)\n </enum>\n <text>\n recognize the essential role that foster parents, social workers, and advocates have in the lives\n\t\t\t of children in foster care throughout the United States;\n </text>\n </paragraph>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas all children deserve a safe, loving, and permanent home;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas the primary goal of the foster care system is to ensure the safety and well-being of\n\t\t\t children while working to provide a safe, loving, and permanent home for\n\t\t\t each child;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas there are approximately 400,000 children living in foster care;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas there were approximately 252,000 youth that entered the foster care system in 2012, while\n\t\t\t nearly 102,000 youth were eligible and awaiting adoption at the end of\n\t\t\t 2012;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas foster care is intended to be a temporary placement, but children remain in the foster care\n\t\t\t system for an average of 2 years;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas ethnic minority children are more likely to stay in the foster care system for\n\t\t\t longer periods of time and are less likely to be reunited with their\n\t\t\t biological families;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas foster parents are the front-line caregivers for children who cannot safely remain with\n\t\t\t their biological parents and provide physical care, emotional support,\n\t\t\t education advocacy, and are the largest single source of families\n\t\t\t providing permanent homes for children leaving foster care to adoption;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas children in foster care who are placed with relatives, compared to children placed with\n\t\t\t nonrelatives, have more stability, including fewer changes in placements,\n\t\t\t have more positive perceptions of their placements, are more likely to be\n\t\t\t placed with their siblings, and demonstrate fewer behavioral problems;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas some relative caregivers receive less financial assistance and support services than do\n\t\t\t foster caregivers;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas recent studies show children in foster care are prescribed psychotropic medication at rates\n\t\t\t up to 11 times higher than other children on Medicaid and in amounts that\n\t\t\t exceed the Food and Drug Administration’s guidelines;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas youth in foster care are much more likely to face educational instability with 34 percent\n\t\t\t of foster youth ages 17 to 18 experiencing at least 5 changes while in\n\t\t\t care;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas youth in foster care are often cut off from other youth and face hurdles in participating\n\t\t\t in activities common to their peers, such as sports or\n\t\t\t extracurricular activities;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas youth in foster care are more susceptible to being trafficked, and more needs to be done to\n\t\t\t prevent, identify, and intervene when a child becomes a victim of the\n\t\t\t crime;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas an increased emphasis on prevention and reunification services is necessary to reduce the\n\t\t\t number of children that are forced to remain in the foster care system;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas more than 23,400 youth\n <quote>\n age out\n </quote>\n of foster care annually without a legal permanent\n\t\t\t connection to an adult or family;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas children who age out of foster care lack the security or support of a biological or\n\t\t\t adoptive family and frequently struggle to secure affordable housing,\n\t\t\t obtain health insurance, pursue higher education, and acquire adequate\n\t\t\t employment;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas nearly half of children in foster care for five or more years experience 7 or more\n\t\t\t different foster care placements, which often leads to disruption of\n\t\t\t routines and the need to change schools and move away from siblings,\n\t\t\t extended families, and familiar surroundings;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas children entering foster care often confront the widespread misperception that children in\n\t\t\t foster care are disruptive, unruly, and dangerous, even though placement\n\t\t\t in foster care is based on the actions of a parent or guardian, not the\n\t\t\t child;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas States, localities, and communities should be encouraged to invest resources in\n\t\t\t preventative and reunification services and post-permanency programs to\n\t\t\t ensure that more children in foster care are provided with safe, loving,\n\t\t\t and permanent placements;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas Federal legislation over the past three decades, including the Adoption Assistance and\n\t\t\t Child Welfare Act of 1980 (\n <external-xref legal-doc=\"public-law\" parsable-cite=\"pl/96/272\">\n Public Law 96–272\n </external-xref>\n ), the Adoption and Safe\n\t\t\t Families Act of 1997 (\n <external-xref legal-doc=\"public-law\" parsable-cite=\"pl/105/89\">\n Public Law 105–89\n </external-xref>\n ), the Fostering Connections to\n\t\t\t Success and Increasing Adoptions Act of 2008 (\n <external-xref legal-doc=\"public-law\" parsable-cite=\"pl/110/351\">\n Public Law 110–351\n </external-xref>\n ), the\n\t\t\t Child and Family Services Improvement and Innovation Act (Public Law\n\t\t\t 112–34), and the Uninterrupted Scholars Act (\n <external-xref legal-doc=\"public-law\" parsable-cite=\"pl/112/278\">\n Public Law 112–278\n </external-xref>\n ) provided\n\t\t\t new investments and services to improve the outcomes of children in the\n\t\t\t foster care system;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas the Children's Bureau of the Department of Health and Human Services has designated May as\n\t\t\t National Foster Care Month under the theme\n <quote>\n to help build blocks toward permanent families for foster youth\n </quote>\n ;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas May would be an appropriate month to designate as National Foster Care Month to provide an\n\t\t\t opportunity to acknowledge the accomplishments of the child-welfare\n\t\t\t workforce, foster parents, advocacy community, and mentors for their\n\t\t\t dedication, accomplishments, and positive impact they have on the lives of\n\t\t\t children; and\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas much remains to be done to ensure that all children have a safe, loving, nurturing, and\n\t\t\t permanent family, regardless of age or special needs: Now, therefore, be\n\t\t\t it\n </text>\n </whereas>\n </preamble>\n

RES. 458 IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES May 22, 2014 Mr. Cardin (for himself, Mr. Kirk , Mr. Durbin , Mr. Brown , Mr. Booker , Mr. Menendez , Ms. Mikulski , Mr. Nelson , Mrs. Gillibrand , and Mr. Portman ) submitted the following resolution; which was considered and agreed to RESOLUTION Recognizing May as Jewish American Heritage Month and honoring Holocaust survivors and their contributions to the United States of America.\n\nWhereas in May of each year, people across the United States recognize and celebrate over 350 years of Jewish contributions to the United States through Jewish American Heritage Month; Whereas during the Holocaust, the Nazi regime murdered approximately 6,000,000 Jews, in addition to millions of non-Jews, between 1933 and 1945; Whereas the Nazi regime also imprisoned, persecuted, and tortured hundreds of thousands of Jewish victims who nonetheless survived; Whereas the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum Holocaust Encyclopedia estimates that more than 200,000 persecuted Jews found refuge in the United States between 1933 and 1945, and that approximately 137,000 Jewish refugees settled in the United States after World War II in the years between 1945 and 1952; Whereas in subsequent decades, Jewish refugees continued to immigrate to the United States from Europe, the Middle East, and the former Soviet Union; Whereas many survivors of the Holocaust have dedicated their lives to educating future generations about the dangers of bigotry and anti-Semitism and the resiliency of the human spirit; and Whereas countless survivors of the Holocaust living in the United States have made numerous and substantial contributions to society in the areas of the humanities, science, government, law, history, medicine, military service, philosophy, social justice, technology, and more, including— (1) a Marylander who bravely led the decades-long fight for reparations from the French rail companies that transported victims to Nazi concentration camps and killing centers; (2) a former judge on the International Court of Justice and the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, who was a member of the United Nations Human Rights Committee, and who is currently a professor specializing in international justice at The George Washington University Law School; (3) a native of France who survived a series of Nazi concentration camps and became a well-known author, lecturer, and actor who appeared as Corporal Louis LeBeau on the 1960s television series Hogan’s Heroes; (4) a native of Poland who spent his childhood in a Nazi labor camp, was educated in the United States, and became a renowned chemist, author, professor, and poet, winning the 1981 Nobel Prize in Chemistry; (5) a former Member of the House of Representatives and Chairman of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, and founder of the Congressional Human Rights Caucus, who, along with his wife and fellow survivor, devoted his life to championing human rights and freedom around the world; (6) a Polish-born author, historian, educator, member of the United States Holocaust Commission, and recipient of the 2010 Presidential Medal of Freedom; (7) an Austrian native, literary scholar, and professor who authored a 1992 autobiography, Still Alive: A Holocaust Girlhood Remembered, and numerous scholarly publications on the Holocaust and anti-Semitism; (8) a Croatian-born survivor who helped produce the movie Schindler’s List and became an advisor to the USC Shoah Foundation, an archive of testimonies of genocide survivors chaired by Steven Spielberg; (9) an Illinoisan who created the International Monetary Market, served as chairman of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, and revolutionized markets by creating financial futures after fleeing Holocaust-era Poland as a child; (10) a Hungarian survivor who served in the United States Army in the Korean War and who was awarded the Medal of Honor in 2005 for his heroic actions while being held in a Chinese POW camp that saved the lives of at least 40 fellow soldiers; (11) a native of Germany who escaped Nazi Germany as a teenager, served as a corporal in the United States Army, was an interpreter and analyst during the Nuremberg Trials, served in the Foreign Service of the Department of State, and authored a book about a Jewish resistor who assassinated a Nazi official and another about Allied intelligence near the end of World War II; (12) a world-renowned psychosexual therapist, radio and television personality, professor, and author who escaped Nazi Germany as a child and fought in the Israeli War of Independence; and (13) the winner of the 1986 Nobel Peace Prize, an author, professor, and activist, whose memoir Night is an internationally acclaimed account of the terrors of the Holocaust: Now, therefore, be it\n\nThat the Senate— (1) recognizes May 2014 as Jewish American Heritage Month; (2) expresses appreciation for the substantial and varied contributions made to the United States by the survivors of the Holocaust; (3) encourages the people of the United States to learn about the efforts and achievements of Holocaust survivors who immigrated to the United States in the years following World War II; (4) expresses admiration for the more than 100,000 Holocaust survivors living in the United States who continue to bear witness to their personal stories and educate the world; and (5) understands the hardships Holocaust survivors have endured, and supports their desire to age with dignity and comfort in their homes and communities.",

RES. 460 IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES May 22, 2014 Ms. Hirono (for herself, Mr. Reid , Mrs. Murray , Mr. Cardin , Mr. Schatz , Mr. Brown , Mr. Kaine , Mr. Begich , Mr. Heller , Mr. Kirk , Ms. Cantwell , and Mr. Warner ) submitted the following resolution; which was considered and agreed to RESOLUTION Recognizing the significance of May 2014 as Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month as an important time to celebrate the significant contributions of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders to the history of the United States.\n\nWhereas the United States joins together each May to pay tribute to the contributions of generations of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders who have enriched the history of the United States; Whereas the history of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in the United States is inextricably tied to the story of the United States; Whereas the Asian American and Pacific Islander community is an inherently diverse population comprised of more than 45 distinct ethnicities and more than 100 language dialects; Whereas, according to the Bureau of the Census, the Asian American population grew faster than any other racial or ethnic group in the United States during the last decade, surging nearly 46 percent between 2000 and 2010, which is a growth rate 4 times faster than that of the total population of the United States; Whereas the 2010 decennial census estimated that there are approximately 17,300,000 residents of the United States who identify as Asian and approximately 1,200,000 residents of the United States who identify themselves as Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander, making up approximately 5.5 percent and 0.4 percent, respectively, of the total population of the United States; Whereas the month of May was selected for Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month because the first immigrants from Japan arrived in the United States on May 7, 1843, and the first transcontinental railroad was completed on May 10, 1869, with substantial contributions from immigrants from China; Whereas section 102 of title 36, United States Code, officially designates May as Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month and requests the President to issue an annual proclamation calling on the people of the United States to observe the month with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities; Whereas Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, such as Daniel K. Inouye, a Medal of Honor and Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient who, as President Pro Tempore of the Senate, was the highest-ranking Asian American government official in United States history, Dalip Singh Saund, the first Asian American Congressman, Patsy T. Mink, the first woman of color and Asian American woman to be elected to Congress, Hiram L. Fong, the first Asian American Senator, and others have made significant contributions in both our government and our military, including the first Asian American cabinet member in 2000 and the first female Asian American cabinet member in 2001; Whereas the year 2014 marks several important milestones for the Asian American and Pacific Islander community, including— (1) the 15 th anniversary of the establishment of the White House Initiative on Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders under Executive Order 13125 by President William J. Clinton; (2) the 20 th anniversary of the founding of the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus, a bicameral caucus of Members of Congress advocating on behalf of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders; and (3) the 20 th anniversary of the creation of the Asian Pacific American Institute for Congressional Studies; Whereas in 2014, the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus, a bicameral caucus of Members of Congress advocating on behalf of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, is composed of 41 Members, including 13 Members of Asian or Pacific Islander descent; Whereas in 2014, Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders are serving in State legislatures across the United States in record numbers, including in the States of Alaska, Arizona, California, Connecticut, Colorado, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, and Washington; Whereas the number of Federal judges who are Asian Americans or Pacific Islanders doubled between 2001 and 2008 and more than tripled between 2009 and 2014, reflecting a commitment to diversity in the Federal judiciary that has resulted in the confirmations of high caliber Asian American and Pacific Islander judicial nominees; Whereas there remains much to be done to ensure that Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders have access to resources and a voice in the Government of the United States and continue to advance in the political landscape of the United States; and Whereas celebrating Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month provides the people of the United States with an opportunity to recognize the achievements, contributions, and history of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, and to appreciate the challenges faced by Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders: Now, therefore, be it\n\nThat the Senate— (1) recognizes the significance of May 2014 as Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month as an important time to celebrate the significant contributions of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders to the history of the United States; and (2) recognizes that the Asian American and Pacific Islander community enhances the rich diversity of and strengthens the United States.",

RES. 463 IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES May 22, 2014 Mrs. Murray (for herself and Ms. Cantwell ) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary RESOLUTION Honoring the life, accomplishments, and legacy of Billy Frank, Jr., and expressing condolences on his passing.\n\nWhereas in the 1850s, the United States Government signed a series of treaties with Washington State tribes under which the tribes granted millions of acres of land to the United States in exchange for the establishment of reservations and the recognition of traditional hunting and fishing rights; Whereas Billy Frank, Jr., was born to Willie Frank, Sr., and Angeline Frank on March 9, 1931, at Frank’s Landing on the banks of the Nisqually River in Washington State; Whereas the tireless efforts and dedication of Billy Frank, Jr., led to a historic legal victory that ensured that the United States would honor promises made in treaties with the Washington tribes; Whereas Billy Frank, Jr., was first arrested in December of 1945, at the age of 14, for fishing for salmon in the Nisqually River; Whereas Billy Frank, Jr., was subsequently arrested more than 50 times for exercising his treaty-protected right to fish for salmon; Whereas over the years, Billy Frank, Jr., and other tribal members staged fish-ins that often placed the protestors in danger of being arrested or attacked; Whereas during these fish-ins, Billy Frank, Jr., and others demanded that they be allowed to fish in historically tribal waters, a right the Nisqually had reserved in the Treaty of Medicine Creek; Whereas declining salmon runs in Washington waters resulted in increased arrests of tribal members exercising their fishing rights under the Treaty; Whereas, on February 12, 1974, in the case of United States v. Washington, Judge George Hugo Boldt of the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington issued a decision that affirmed the right of Washington treaty tribes to take up to half of the harvestable fish in tribal fishing waters and reaffirmed that the United States must honor treaties made with Native American tribes; Whereas the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals and the Supreme Court of the United States upheld the Boldt decision, and the treaty tribes became co-managers of the salmon resource in the State of Washington; Whereas after the Boldt decision, Billy Frank, Jr., continued his fight to protect natural resources, salmon, and a healthy environment; Whereas the Northwest Indian Fisheries Commission, where Billy Frank, Jr., served as chairman, works to establish working relationships with State agencies and non-Indian groups to manage fisheries, restore and protect habitats, and protect tribal treaty rights; Whereas Billy Frank, Jr., refused to be bitter in the face of jail, racism, and abuse, and his influence was felt not just in Washington State but around the world; Whereas Billy Frank, Jr., was awarded the Albert Schweitzer Prize for Humanitarianism, the Common Cause Award for Human Rights Efforts, the American Indian Distinguished Service Award, the Washington State Environmental Excellence Award, and the Wallace Stegner Award for his years of service and dedication to his battle; Whereas the legacy of Billy Frank, Jr., will live on in stories, in memories, and every time a tribal member exercises his or her right to harvest salmon in Washington State; and Whereas the legacy of Billy Frank, Jr., transcends his 83 years and will provide inspiration to those still around today and those still to come: Now, therefore, be it\n\nThat the Senate— (1) honors the life, legacy, and many accomplishments of Billy Frank, Jr.; and (2) extends its heartfelt sympathies and condolences to the family of Billy Frank, Jr., the Nisqually Tribe, all Native Americans, and all people around the world who were inspired by his example.",

RES. 464 IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES June 3, 2014 Mr. Johnson of South Dakota (for himself and Mr. Kirk ) submitted the following resolution; which was considered and agreed to RESOLUTION Designating June 2014 as National Aphasia Awareness Month and supporting efforts to increase awareness of aphasia.\n\nWhereas aphasia is a communication impairment caused by brain damage that typically results from a stroke; Whereas aphasia can also occur with other neurological disorders, such as a brain tumor; Whereas many people with aphasia also have weakness or paralysis in the right leg and right arm, usually due to damage to the left hemisphere of the brain, which controls language and movement on the right side of the body; Whereas the effects of aphasia may include a loss of, or reduction in, the ability to speak, comprehend, read, and write, but the intelligence of a person with aphasia remains intact; Whereas, according to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (referred to in this preamble as the NINDS ), strokes are the fourth-leading cause of death in the United States; Whereas strokes are a leading cause of serious, long-term disability in the United States; Whereas the NINDS estimates that there are approximately 5,000,000 stroke survivors in the United States; Whereas the NINDS estimates that people in the United States suffer approximately 795,000 strokes per year, with about 1/3 of the strokes resulting in aphasia; Whereas, according to the NINDS, aphasia affects at least 1,000,000 people in the United States; Whereas the NINDS estimates that more than 200,000 people in the United States are afflicted with aphasia each year; Whereas the people of the United States should strive to learn more about aphasia and to promote research, rehabilitation, and support services for people with aphasia and aphasia caregivers throughout the United States; and Whereas people with aphasia and their caregivers envision a world that recognizes the silent disability of aphasia and provides opportunity and fulfillment for people affected by aphasia: Now, therefore, be it\n\nThat the Senate— (1) designates June 2014 as National Aphasia Awareness Month ; (2) supports efforts to increase awareness of aphasia; (3) recognizes that strokes, a primary cause of aphasia, are the fourth-largest cause of death and disability in the United States; (4) acknowledges that aphasia deserves more attention and study to find new solutions for people experiencing aphasia and their caregivers; (5) supports efforts to make the voices of people with aphasia heard, because people with aphasia are often unable to communicate with others; and (6) encourages all people in the United States to observe National Aphasia Awareness Month with appropriate events and activities.",

RES. 467 IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES June 4, 2014 Ms. Cantwell (for herself and Mrs. Murray ) submitted the following resolution; which was considered and agreed to RESOLUTION Recognizing the 100 th Anniversary of Fishermen’s Terminal in the Port of Seattle and celebrating Seattle’s rich maritime heritage and its importance to the United States.\n\nWhereas Fishermen’s Terminal in the Port of Seattle was officially dedicated on January 10, 1914, becoming the first operational facility in the Port of Seattle; Whereas Fishermen’s Terminal was the first commercial property purchased by the Port of Seattle and is located just east of the Hiram M. Chittenden Locks on the Lake Washington Ship Canal; Whereas Fishermen’s Terminal is home to the North Pacific Fishing Fleet and provides moorage for 400 commercial fishing vessels and work boats; Whereas Fishermen's Terminal is critical to the operations of the Port of Seattle, the port of entry for 50 percent of the total seafood caught in the United States; Whereas there is a strong connection between the fishing and shipping industries of the Port of Seattle, and seafood exported out of the Port of Seattle was valued at more than $997,000,000 in 2012; Whereas the fishing fleets of Fishermen’s Terminal harvest a wide variety of fish including salmon, halibut, Pacific cod, Alaska Pollock, sablefish, rock fish, whiting, yellowfin, sole, albacore, crab, shrimp, and other shellfish; Whereas the fishing vessels that moor at Fishermen’s Terminal include crabbers, longliners, purse seiners, trawlers, and trollers, and often fish in Alaskan waters such as Southeast Alaska, Bristol Bay, and the Bering Sea; Whereas for the last century, Fishermen’s Terminal has played a critical role in the fishing and maritime industry in both Washington and Alaska; Whereas Fishermen’s Terminal directly contributes and supports maritime jobs, and is a major driver of the maritime economy of the Pacific Northwest, which generates $30,000,000,000 annually for the State of Washington; Whereas annually, the fishing industry at the Port of Seattle creates 15,600 jobs, has a total payroll of $1,900,000,000 per year, and generates $814,000,000 in annual revenue for private businesses; Whereas 34,500 Washington residents are employed by the Alaskan seafood industry; Whereas Fishermen’s Terminal contributes to the economic diversity and resilience of the Pacific Northwest due to the many industries it supports, including vessel construction, maintenance, and repair activity that brings vendors and suppliers together with a network of bankers, insurers, and other businesses that support fishing and shipping; Whereas much of the infrastructure and businesses surrounding Fishermen’s Terminal have been in place as long as the Terminal, and make up the most important economic maritime cluster of fish processing, cold storage, vessel fabrication, and barge and tug operations businesses in the United States; Whereas the shore side support businesses surrounding Fishermen's Terminal employ a wide range of machinists, trade workers, and artisans who are skilled in traditional maritime crafts such as wood-working, fiberglass repair, painting, sail making, brass brightworking, marine engineering, and naval architecture; Whereas Fishermen's Terminal is more than just a place to moor, repair, and maintain boats, and gives the Seattle community a sense of identity as a place where people work with their hands in industries that help define the region; and Whereas Fishermen’s Terminal is a cultural resource that is always open to the public, is home to the Fishermen's Memorial, a towering bronze sculpture that lists the names of 675 men and women who have lost their lives in their pursuit of the bounty of the sea, hosts thousands of people every September for the Fishermen’s Fall Festival to celebrate the homecoming of Washington fishermen after a summer at sea, and is surrounded by lively restaurants, shops, and businesses that support the community and those in the fishing industry: Now, therefore, be it\n\nThat the Senate— (1) recognizes that May 28, 2014 is the official centennial of Fishermen’s Terminal; and (2) praises the ongoing contributions of Fishermen's Terminal to the welfare of countless individuals, the fishing industry, the Port of Seattle, the State of Washington, and the United States.",

RES. 473 IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES June 12, 2014 Mr. Crapo submitted the following resolution; which was considered and agreed to RESOLUTION Celebrating the 20 th Anniversary of National Men’s Health Week.\n\nWhereas, despite advances in medical technology and research, men continue to live an average of 5 years less than women, and African-American men have the lowest life expectancy; Whereas 9 of the 10 leading causes of death, as defined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, affect men at a higher percentage than women; Whereas, between ages 45 and 54, men are more than 1½ times more likely than women to die of heart attacks; Whereas men die of heart disease at 1½ times the rate of women; Whereas men die of cancer at almost 1½ times the rate of women; Whereas testicular cancer is one of the most common cancers in men between ages 15 and 34, and, when detected early, has a 96 percent survival rate; Whereas the number of cases of colon cancer among men will be over 48,000 in 2014, and more than half of those men will die from the disease; Whereas the likelihood that a man will develop prostate cancer is 1 in 6; Whereas the number of men who develop prostate cancer in 2014 is expected to reach more than 230,000, and an estimated 29,480 of those men will die from the disease; Whereas African-American men in the United States have the highest incidence of prostate cancer; Whereas significant numbers of health problems that affect men, such as prostate cancer, testicular cancer, colon cancer, and infertility, could be detected and treated if awareness among men of those problems was more pervasive; Whereas more than half of the elderly widows now living in poverty were not poor before the death of their husbands; Whereas educating both the public and health care providers about the importance of early detection of male health problems will result in reducing rates of mortality for those diseases; Whereas appropriate use of tests such as prostate specific antigen exams, blood pressure screens, and cholesterol screens, in conjunction with clinical examination and self-testing for problems such as testicular cancer, can result in the detection of many of those problems in their early stages and increase the survival rates to nearly 100 percent; Whereas women are 2 times more likely than men to visit their doctors for annual examinations and preventive services; Whereas men are less likely than women to visit their health centers or physicians for regular screening examinations of male-related problems for a variety of reasons; Whereas Congress established National Men’s Health Week in 1994 and urged men and their families to engage in appropriate health behaviors, and the resulting increased awareness has improved health-related education and helped prevent illness; Whereas the Governors of all 50 States have issued proclamations declaring Men’s Health Week in their respective States, as have Mayors of over 40 cities; Whereas, since 1994, National Men’s Health Week has been celebrated each June by dozens of States, cities, localities, public health departments, health care entities, churches, and community organizations throughout the United States that promote health awareness events focused on men and family; Whereas the National Men’s Health Week Internet website has been established at www.menshealthweek.org and features Governors’ proclamations, Mayoral proclamations, and National Men’s Health Week events; Whereas men who are educated about the value that preventive health can play in prolonging their lifespans and their roles as productive family members will be more likely to participate in health screenings; Whereas men and their families are encouraged to increase their awareness of the importance of a healthy lifestyle, regular exercise, and medical checkups; Whereas June 9 through 15, 2014, is National Men’s Health Week; and Whereas the purpose of National Men's Health Week is to heighten the awareness of preventable health problems and encourage early detection and treatment of disease among men and boys: Now, therefore, be it\n\nThat the Senate— (1) celebrates the 20 th anniversary of National Men's Health Week; (2) supports the annual National Men's Health Week; and (3) calls upon the people of the United States and interested groups to observe National Men's Health Week with appropriate ceremonies and activities.",

RES. 477 IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES June 17, 2014 Mr. Alexander (for himself, Mr. Durbin , Mr. Sessions , Mr. Cochran , Mr. Roberts , Mrs. Feinstein , and Mr. Corker ) submitted the following resolution; which was considered and agreed to RESOLUTION Designating June 20, 2014, as American Eagle Day , and celebrating the recovery and restoration of the bald eagle, the national symbol of the United States.\n\nWhereas on June 20, 1782, the bald eagle was officially designated as the national emblem of the United States by the founding fathers in the Congress of the Confederation; Whereas the bald eagle is the central image of the Great Seal of the United States; Whereas the image of the bald eagle is displayed in the official seal of many branches and departments of the Federal Government, including— (1) the Office of the President; (2) the Office of the Vice President; (3) Congress; (4) the Supreme Court; (5) the Department of the Treasury; (6) the Department of Defense; (7) the Department of Justice; (8) the Department of State; (9) the Department of Commerce; (10) the Department of Homeland Security; (11) the Department of Veterans Affairs; (12) the Department of Labor; (13) the Department of Health and Human Services; (14) the Department of Energy; (15) the Department of Housing and Urban Development; (16) the Central Intelligence Agency; and (17) the Postal Service; Whereas the bald eagle is an inspiring symbol of— (1) the spirit of freedom; and (2) the sovereignty of the United States; Whereas since the founding of the Nation, the image, meaning, and symbolism of the bald eagle have played a significant role in the art, music, history, commerce, literature, architecture, and culture of the United States; Whereas the bald eagle is prominently featured on the stamps, currency, and coinage of the United States; Whereas the habitat of bald eagles exists only in North America; Whereas by 1963, the population of bald eagles that nested in the lower 48 States had declined to approximately 417 nesting pairs; Whereas due to the dramatic decline in the population of bald eagles in the lower 48 States, the Secretary of the Interior listed the bald eagle as an endangered species on the list of endangered species published under section 4(c)(1) of the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1533(c)(1)); Whereas caring and concerned individuals from the Federal, State, and private sectors banded together to save, and help ensure the recovery and protection of, bald eagles; Whereas on July 20, 1969, the first manned lunar landing occurred in the Apollo 11 Lunar Excursion Module, which was named “Eagle”; Whereas the “Eagle” played an integral role in achieving the goal of the United States of landing a man on the Moon and returning that man safely to Earth; Whereas in 1995, as a result of the efforts of those caring and concerned individuals, the Secretary of the Interior listed the bald eagle as a threatened species on the list of threatened species published under section 4(c)(1) of the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1533(c)(1)); Whereas by 2007, the population of bald eagles that nested in the lower 48 States had increased to approximately 10,000 nesting pairs, an increase of approximately 2,500 percent from the preceding 40 years; Whereas in 2007, the population of bald eagles that nested in the State of Alaska was approximately 50,000 to 70,000; Whereas on June 28, 2007, the Secretary of the Interior removed the bald eagle from the list of threatened species published under section 4(c)(1) of the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1533(c)(1)); Whereas bald eagles remain protected in accordance with— (1) the Act entitled An Act for the protection of the bald eagle , approved June 8, 1940 ( 16 U.S.C. 668 et seq. ) (commonly known as the Bald Eagle Protection Act of 1940 ); and (2) the Migratory Bird Treaty Act ( 16 U.S.C. 703 et seq. ); Whereas on January 15, 2008, the Secretary of the Treasury issued 3 limited edition bald eagle commemorative coins under the American Bald Eagle Recovery and National Emblem Commemorative Coin Act (Public Law 108–486; 118 Stat. 3934); Whereas the sale of the limited edition bald eagle commemorative coins issued by the Secretary of the Treasury has raised approximately $7,800,000 for the nonprofit American Eagle Foundation of Pigeon Forge, Tennessee to support efforts to protect the bald eagle; Whereas if not for the vigilant conservation efforts of concerned Americans and the enactment of conservation laws (including regulations), the bald eagle would face extinction; Whereas the American Eagle Foundation has brought substantial public attention to the cause of the protection and care of the bald eagle nationally; Whereas, November 4, 2010, marked the 25th anniversary of the American Eagle Foundation; Whereas facilities around the United States, such as the Southeastern Raptor Center at Auburn University in the State of Alabama, rehabilitate injured eagles for release into the wild; Whereas the dramatic recovery of the population of bald eagles— (1) is an endangered species success story; and (2) an inspirational example for other wildlife and natural resource conservation efforts around the world; Whereas the initial recovery of the population of bald eagles was accomplished by the concerted efforts of numerous government agencies, corporations, organizations, and individuals; and Whereas the continuation of recovery, management, and public awareness programs for bald eagles will be necessary to ensure— (1) the continued progress of the recovery of bald eagles; and (2) that the population and habitat of bald eagles will remain healthy and secure for future generations: Now, therefore, be it\n\nThat the Senate— (1) designates June 20, 2014, as American Eagle Day ; (2) applauds the issuance of bald eagle commemorative coins by the Secretary of the Treasury as a means by which to generate critical funds for the protection of bald eagles; and (3) encourages— (A) educational entities, organizations, businesses, conservation groups, and government agencies with a shared interest in conserving endangered species to collaborate and develop educational tools for use in the public schools of the United States; and (B) the people of the United States to observe American Eagle Day with appropriate ceremonies and other activities.",
