RES. 178 IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES June 20, 2013 Mrs. Feinstein (for herself and Mr. Grassley ) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary RESOLUTION Honoring the men and women of the Drug Enforcement Administration on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the agency.\n\nWhereas the Drug Enforcement Administration (referred to in this preamble as the DEA ) was established by an Executive order on July 1, 1973, and given the responsibility to coordinate all activities of the Federal Government directly related to the enforcement of the drug laws of the United States; Whereas the more than 9,500 men and women of the DEA, including special agents, intelligence analysts, diversion investigators, program analysts, forensic chemists, attorneys, and administrative support staff, as well as more than 2,000 task force officers and hundreds of vetted foreign drug law enforcement officers, serve our Nation with courage and help protect the people of the United States from drug trafficking, drug abuse, and related violence; Whereas the DEA has targeted and brought to justice numerous criminals around the world over the 40 years since the establishment of the agency; Whereas throughout the 40-year history of the DEA, the agency has continually adapted to evolving trends of drug trafficking organizations by targeting those involved in the manufacturing, distribution, and sale of drugs, including cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, marijuana, ecstasy, and controlled prescription drugs; Whereas in the decade immediately preceding the date of agreement to this resolution, DEA special agents seized more than 21,000 kilograms of heroin, 825,000 kilograms of cocaine, 4,500,000 kilograms of marijuana, over 21,000 kilograms of methamphetamine, and more than 50,000,000 dosage units of controlled prescription drugs; Whereas with 86 foreign offices located in 67 countries, the DEA has the largest international presence of any Federal law enforcement agency, facilitating close collaboration with international partners around the world, including in Colombia, Mexico, and Afghanistan through information sharing, training, technology, and other resources that have resulted in the disruption or dismantling of 216 priority target drug trafficking organizations in Colombia, 20 in Afghanistan, and 108 in Mexico; Whereas throughout the history of the DEA, employees and members of the agency's task forces have given their lives in the line of duty, including Emir Benitez, Gerald Sawyer, Leslie S. Grosso, Nickolas Fragos, Mary M. Keehan, Charles H. Mann, Anna Y. Mounger, Anna J. Pope, Martha D. Skeels, Mary P. Sullivan, Larry D. Wallace, Ralph N. Shaw, James T.

Tramel, Alice Faye Hall-Walton, Elton Lee Armstead, Terry Loftus, Donald C. Ware, Jay Balchunas, Thomas J. Byrne, Jr., Samuel Hicks, Forrest N. Leamon, Chad L. Michael, and Michael E. Weston; and Whereas many other DEA employees and task force officers have been wounded or injured in the line of duty, including 91 who have received the Purple Heart Award of the DEA; Now, therefore, be it\n\nThat the Senate— (1) congratulates the Drug Enforcement Administration on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the agency; (2) honors the heroic sacrifice of the employees of the agency who have given their lives or have been wounded or injured in the service of the United States; and (3) gives heartfelt thanks to all the men and women of the Drug Enforcement Administration for their past and continued efforts to protect the people of the United States from the dangers of drug abuse.",

RES. 181 IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES June 21, 2013 Mr. Rockefeller (for himself and Mr. Manchin ) submitted the following resolution; which was considered and agreed to RESOLUTION Recognizing the sesquicentennial of West Virginia and commemorating its history, people, and culture.\n\nWhereas Alexander Spotswood, Lieutenant Governor of Virginia, led a westward expedition in 1716, claiming land beyond the Allegheny Mountains for King George I; Whereas early settlement of present-day West Virginia began in the Eastern Panhandle, with development of western areas to follow; Whereas slave abolitionist John Brown launched an ill-fated raid on a United States arsenal in Harpers Ferry in 1859 and was later convicted of treason, conspiracy, and murder in nearby Charles Town, inflaming anti- and pro-slavery factions in the North and the South; Whereas citizens in the region opposed the decision of Virginia during the Civil War to secede from the United States; Whereas West Virginia was admitted to the Union by Congress on June 20, 1863, following a proclamation by President Abraham Lincoln, making it the only State created from the Civil War; Whereas the bold decision of those first West Virginians resonates today with the words of the official State motto, Montani Semper Liberi , meaning West Virginians Are Always Free ; Whereas West Virginia is the only state located entirely within the Appalachian Mountains; Whereas the industries in West Virginia are wedded to its land, supplying 15 percent of the coal in the United States, forging steel, producing timber, and fostering a present-day boom in natural gas production, and to its innovations including burgeoning biometrics and automotive industries; Whereas the workers of West Virginia are the salt of the earth and set hard work as a cornerstone of a life rich with pride, especially its miners who daily travel deep underground to mine the coal that keeps the United States humming; Whereas the sense of patriotism in West Virginia runs deep and true, as the State has the highest number of men and women per capita serving the United States in the Armed Forces and a population of veterans wholly dedicated to making sure all who serve are supported; Whereas the communities in West Virginia exemplify the phrase neighbor helping neighbor ; Whereas the awe-inspiring landscapes of the Mountain State grant residents and tourists the chance to climb mountains, fish streams, hunt in forests, raft rapids, and traverse trails, making tourism one of the preeminent economic drivers of the State; Whereas West Virginia is home to the longest steel arch bridge in the world, the New River Gorge Bridge, which spans 1,815 feet over the New River Canyon, and the highest peak in the State is Spruce Knob, sitting at 4,861 feet above sea level; Whereas West Virginia has seen important inventions, including the first steamboat, the first iron furnace, the first electric railroad, the first glass plant, and the first pottery plant; Whereas the heritage of West Virginia can be felt in its handmade creations, from quilts and woodwork to dinnerware and paintings, heard in its mountain music, from hometown jamborees to fiddle-playing on front porches and songs from well-worn hymnals, and enjoyed in its unique cuisine, from pepperoni rolls to wild ramps and buckwheat cakes with sausage; Whereas many icons hold their roots in West Virginia, from General Thomas Stonewall Jackson to Nobel Prize-winning author Pearl S. Buck, educational leader Booker T. Washington, Mother’s Day founder Anna Jarvis, and Brigadier General Charles Chuck Yeager; and Whereas, during a rainy centennial celebration on the front steps of the Capitol of West Virginia in Charleston on June 20, 1963, President John F. Kennedy proclaimed, The sun does not always shine in West Virginia but the people always do : Now, therefore, be it\n\nThat the Senate— (1) observes the sesquicentennial of West Virginia; and (2) celebrates the remarkable heritage and contributions of the people of West Virginia.",

RES. 183 IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES June 24, 2013 Mr. Blumenthal (for himself and Mr. Murphy ) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary RESOLUTION Commemorating the relaunching of the 172-year-old Charles W. Morgan by Mystic Seaport: The Museum of America and the Sea.\n\nWhereas the Charles W. Morgan (referred to in this preamble as the Morgan ) was built and launched from New Bedford, Massachusetts, in 1841; Whereas the Morgan is a National Historic Landmark vessel, the only remaining wooden whaleship in the world, and the oldest commercial vessel in the United States; Whereas the Morgan and similar vessels were the economic backbone of New England for 200 years; Whereas the Morgan has served as a living artifact and a testament to the ingenuity, risk, and entrepreneurship of the United States since the vessel retired from the whaling industry in 1921; Whereas the Morgan has completed a 5-year, multi-million dollar restoration at the Preservation Shipyard of Mystic Seaport: The Museum of America and the Sea and will be relaunched on July 21, 2013; Whereas the Morgan will embark on a ceremonial 38th voyage in June 2014, serving as Ambassador to the world’s whales and to the world’s whaling heritage; Whereas the 38th voyage of the Morgan will rekindle the spirit of exploration and discovery of people throughout the world; Whereas individuals and organizations from 22 States have contributed materials and expertise to the restoration and 38th voyage of the Morgan; and Whereas the new mission of the Morgan will be devoted to history, education, science, and ocean awareness: Now, therefore, be it\n\nThat the Senate— (1) commemorates the relaunching of the whaleship Charles W. Morgan and commends the staff, volunteers, and trustees of Mystic Seaport: The Museum of America and the Sea for their efforts to preserve and protect the maritime heritage of the United States; (2) supports the plan of Mystic Seaport: The Museum of America and the Sea to reinterpret the Charles W. Morgan as a vessel of scientific and educational exploration whose cargo is knowledge and whose mission is to promote awareness of the maritime heritage of the United States and the conservation of the species the Morgan hunted; and (3) recognizes the Charles W.

RES. 184 IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES June 24, 2013 Mrs. Boxer (for herself, Ms. Landrieu , Ms. Klobuchar , Mrs. Gillibrand , Mrs. Murray , Mrs. Shaheen , Ms. Mikulski , Ms. Warren , Ms. Hirono , Mrs. Feinstein , Ms. Heitkamp , and Ms. Stabenow ) submitted the following resolution; which was considered and agreed to RESOLUTION Recognizing refugee women and girls on World Refugee Day.\n\nWhereas June 20 was established by the United Nations as World Refugee Day, a global day to honor the courage, strength, and determination of women, men, and children who are forced to flee their homes under threat of conflict, violence, and persecution; Whereas, according to the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (in this preamble referred to as the UNHCR ), there are more than 43,000,000 displaced people worldwide, including more than 15,000,000 refugees; Whereas, according to the UNHCR, women and girls make up at least 50 percent of any refugee population; Whereas refugee women and girls work every day, often under the most difficult circumstances, to care for their families, improve their prospects and build a better future; Whereas refugee women and girls are often at greater risk of sexual violence and exploitation, forced or early marriage, human trafficking, and other forms of gender-based violence; Whereas refugee women and girls face barriers in accessing education, healthcare, and economic opportunities in countries of asylum; Whereas, according to the UNHCR, more than 1,600,000 refugees, ¾ of which are women and children, have fled the ongoing violence in Syria; Whereas, according to the UNHCR, an estimated 2,700,000 people in the Democratic Republic of the Congo have been displaced, and an additional nearly 500,000 Congolese refugees have crossed the border into neighboring countries; Whereas refugee women and girls are frequently victims of gender-based violence as their displaced status puts them at greater risk, coupled with intense social and cultural stigmas that make actual statistics extremely difficult to compile because underreporting is endemic; Whereas refugee women and girls have a right to safe and equitable access to humanitarian assistance, including food and cooking fuel, shelter, education, health care, and economic opportunity; Whereas the full and meaningful participation of refugee women and girls in community decision-making is critical to the stability, security, and prosperity of entire communities; Whereas the full participation of refugee women and girls in the design and implementation of assistance programs is vital to ensuring that those programs are equitable, efficient and successful; Whereas the United States is a leader on protection of and humanitarian assistance for refugees, including refugee women and girls; Whereas the United States has recognized the threat that gender-based violence can pose to refugee women and girls by working to strengthen efforts to protect them through the United States National Action Plan on Women, Peace, and Security; Whereas the United States is a leading advocate for the meaningful participation of refugee women in humanitarian programs, peace processes, governance, and recovery programs; Whereas the United States provides critical resources and support to the UNHCR and other international and nongovernmental organizations working with refugees around the world; and Whereas the United States has welcomed more than 3,000,000 refugees during the last 30 years, who are resettled in communities across the country: Now, therefore, be it\n\nThat the Senate— (1) supports the goals and ideals of World Refugee Day; (2) reaffirms its commitment to the protection, well-being, and self-reliance of refugee women and girls and their families in United States humanitarian policy, programs, and diplomacy and recognizes the work of the United States Department of State and the United States Agency for International Development to this end; (3) emphasizes the importance of ensuring that humanitarian assistance programs supported by the United States provide safe and equitable access for women and girls and are designed and implemented with their full participation; (4) reiterates the importance of targeted programs for refugee women and girls that prevent and respond to gender-based violence, support self-reliance, and promote and develop their participation and leadership skills; (5) recognizes the work of the Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration of the Department of State, the Office of Refugee Resettlement of the Department of Health and Human Services, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services of the Department of Homeland Security, nongovernmental organizations, advocacy groups, and communities across the United States in welcoming and resettling refugees in the United States; (6) celebrates the invaluable contributions that refugee women and girls make to their families and communities; and (7) encourages the people of the United States to observe World Refugee Day with appropriate programs and activities.",

RES. 188 IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES June 26, 2013 Mr. Johanns (for himself, Mrs. Fischer , and Mr. Kirk ) submitted the following resolution; which was considered and agreed to RESOLUTION Recognizing June 30, 2013, as the centennial of the Lincoln Highway, the first transcontinental highway, which originally spanned 3,389 miles through 13 states, including the great State of Nebraska.\n\nWhereas Carl G. Fisher, creator of the Lincoln Highway, believed this project would stimulate as nothing else could the building of enduring highways everywhere that will not only be a credit to the American people but that will also mean much to American agriculture and American commerce; Whereas, on October 31, 1913, this great highway became the first national memorial to the 16th President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln; Whereas the Lincoln Highway brought economic development, tourism, and adventure to every community it touched; Whereas, on June 22, 2013, hundreds of motorists will participate in the Lincoln Highway Centennial Auto Tour, which will start simultaneously from the bustling streets of New York’s Time Square in the East and from San Francisco’s serene Lincoln Park in the West; Whereas a centennial celebration will take place from June 30, 2013, through July 1, 2013, when Lincoln Highway tour motorists will join at the central meeting place of Kearney, Nebraska, which is precisely 1,733 miles from both the Atlantic and the Pacific coasts; Whereas the Lincoln Highway served as a model and an inspiration for President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s grand initiative for a national highway system to connect every person in the United States; and Whereas the Lincoln Highway, more affectionately known as America's Main Street , will continue to be a symbol of Americana and the sense of freedom that comes from driving on the open road: Now, therefore, be it\n\nThat the Senate— (1) recognizes June 30, 2013, as the centennial of the Lincoln Highway; (2) commemorates the important role that the Lincoln Highway has played in significant historical and cultural events in the United States; and (3) recognizes the economic growth, modernization in infrastructure, and rural development that resulted from the Lincoln Highway.",

RES. 190 IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES June 27, 2013 Mr. Inhofe (for himself and Ms. Landrieu ) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations RESOLUTION Expressing the sense of the Senate that foreign assistance for child welfare should adhere to the goals of the United States Government Action Plan on Children in Adversity.\n\nWhereas, as of 2013, there are at least 153,000,000 children in the world who have lost at least 1 parent, and of those children, approximately 17,800,000 have lost both parents; Whereas more than 400,000,000 children in developing countries are living in extreme poverty; Whereas more than 115,000,000 children are engaged in hazardous work and more than 5,500,000 children are in situations of forced labor; Whereas 36 percent of girls and 29 percent of boys around the world have been sexually abused; Whereas at least 2,000,000, and probably many more, children are raised in institutional care; Whereas millions of children throughout the world live under conditions of serious deprivation or danger, and children who experience violence or are exploited, abandoned, abused, or severely neglected also face significant threats to their survival and well-being, as well as profound risks that have an impact on their human, social, and economic development; Whereas children in the most dire circumstances, including children without protective family care, or who are living in abusive households, on the streets, or in institutions, trafficked, participating in armed groups, or exploited for their labor, face a multitude of risks posed by extreme poverty, disease, disability, conflict, and disaster; Whereas family reunification, kinship care, and domestic and intercountry adoption promote permanency and stability to a far greater degree than long-term institutionalization; Whereas permanent family care, transitioning children from institutions into protective family care, and preventing violence within households and in schools are associated with reduced infant and child mortality, decreased grade repetition, decreased future criminal activity, decreased drug use and abuse, fewer teen pregnancies, and higher economic earning potential; Whereas past efforts by the United States to assist vulnerable children in low- and middle-income countries have not always been coordinated among the Federal agencies responsible for foreign assistance, and that lack of coordination has sometimes resulted in a fragmented response; Whereas, with the increasing number of children in need, limitations on Federal funding, and multiple Federal agencies involved in efforts to assist children in need, it is more important than ever to improve the coordination and coherence of those efforts in order to maximize the effect on children; Whereas the Assistance for Orphans and Other Vulnerable Children in Developing Countries Act of 2005 ( Public Law 109–95 ; 119 Stat. 2111), which passed the House of Representatives by a vote of 415 to 9 and passed the Senate by unanimous consent, called for a comprehensive, coordinated, and effective response on the part of the Government of the United States to assist the most vulnerable children in the world; Whereas the Special Advisor for Assistance for Orphans and Vulnerable Children appointed under section 135(e) of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 ( 22 U.S.C. 2152f(e) ), in coordination with 7 Federal agencies, released the United States Government Action Plan on Children in Adversity as the first-ever whole-of-government strategic guidance for foreign assistance for children provided by the United States; and Whereas the United States Government Action Plan on Children in Adversity seeks to ensure that all activities of the Government of the United States are coordinated among appropriate Federal agencies and integrated into relevant foreign policy initiatives of the United States, with the goal of promoting permanent family care and integrating evidence-based practices that are in the best interest of children: Now, therefore, be it\n\nThat it is the sense of the Senate that— (1) a comprehensive action plan for addressing the needs of children living in adversity should be sanctioned by the highest level of the Government of the United States; (2) Federal funding that currently goes toward projects and research benefitting children in low- and middle-income countries should be coordinated among the Federal agencies that receive it with the goals of— (A) promoting permanent family care for the most vulnerable children in the world; (B) reducing the number of children who experience violence, exploitation, or abuse; and (C) eliminating unnecessary duplication and contradictory approaches within the Government of the United States; and (3) the United States Government Action Plan on Children in Adversity has the potential to realize those goals and create a more effective and efficient response by the Government of the United States to assisting the most vulnerable children in the world.",

and\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas the United States Government Action Plan on\n\t\t\t Children in Adversity seeks to ensure that all activities of the Government of\n\t\t\t the United States are coordinated among appropriate Federal agencies and\n\t\t\t integrated into relevant foreign policy initiatives of the United States, with\n\t\t\t the goal of promoting permanent family care and integrating evidence-based\n\t\t\t practices that are in the best interest of children: Now, therefore, be\n\t\t\t it\n </text>\n </whereas>\n </preamble>\n <resolution-body style=\"appropriations\">\n <section display-inline=\"yes-display-inline\" id=\"S1\" section-type=\"undesignated-section\">\n <enum/>\n <text>\n That it is the sense of the Senate\n\t\t\t that—\n </text>\n <paragraph id=\"idD0A02783279A47B09748C97A32CB6DE8\">\n <enum>\n (1)\n </enum>\n <text>\n a comprehensive\n\t\t\t action plan for addressing the needs of children living in adversity should be\n\t\t\t sanctioned by the highest level of the Government of the United States;\n </text>\n </paragraph>\n <paragraph id=\"id56b8ecdfd586401eb22d3a89e9ad8237\">\n <enum>\n (2)\n </enum>\n <text>\n Federal funding\n\t\t\t that currently goes toward projects and research benefitting children in low-\n\t\t\t and middle-income countries should be coordinated among the Federal agencies\n\t\t\t that receive it with the goals of—\n </text>\n <subparagraph id=\"id9bd646cb993e4aef91abb2cfc6017107\">\n <enum>\n (A)\n </enum>\n <text>\n promoting\n\t\t\t permanent family care for the most vulnerable children in the world;\n </text>\n </subparagraph>\n <subparagraph id=\"id24248d122d7b400d8b72cf9fa6be2756\">\n <enum>\n (B)\n </enum>\n <text>\n reducing the\n\t\t\t number of children who experience violence, exploitation, or abuse;

RES. 194 IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES July 10, 2013 Mr. Kirk (for himself, Mr. Durbin , Mr. Cochran , and Mr. Wicker ) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary RESOLUTION Congratulating the 1963 men's basketball team of Loyola University Chicago on its induction into the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame, the 50th anniversary of the team's Division I National Collegiate Athletic Association men’s basketball championship, and the team's historic NCAA tournament game against Mississippi State University.\n\nWhereas, in 1963, Coach George Ireland led the men's basketball team of Loyola University Chicago (referred to in this preamble as the Ramblers ) to the Division I National Collegiate Athletic Association (referred to in this preamble as the NCAA ) men's basketball championship; Whereas the Ramblers lost only 2 games during the 1962–1963 season and led the Nation in scoring with an average of 91.8 points per game; Whereas Coach Ireland and the Loyola University men's basketball teams of the early 1960s are considered by many to be responsible for ushering in a new era of racial equality in the sport by shattering major racial barriers in NCAA men's basketball; Whereas, in 1963, the Ramblers shocked the Nation and changed college basketball forever by starting 4 African-American players in the NCAA tournament, as well as the championship game; Whereas it is difficult to appreciate what Coach Ireland and his team went through, starting in 1961, in breaking what had been a longstanding gentleman’s agreement to play not more than 3 African-American players; Whereas, during the 1962–1963 season, Coach Ireland started 4 African-American players in every game, and, in December 1962, the Ramblers became the first team in NCAA Division I history to have an all-African-American lineup in a game against the University of Wyoming; Whereas, despite their success during the 1962–1963 season, the players and Coach Ireland endured terrible bigotry, including racial taunts and abuse, and received countless pieces of hate mail from the Ku Klux Klan and other racist individuals, and all the while Coach Ireland tried to shield his team in every way possible; Whereas the men's basketball team of Mississippi State University (referred to in this preamble as the Maroons and now called the Bulldogs ) won its second consecutive southeastern conference championship in 1963, but had been forced by the Governor of Mississippi not to accept NCAA tournament bids in the 3 previous seasons because of the inclusion of African-American players in the tournament; Whereas, before advancing to the championship round, the Ramblers participated in the NCAA Midwest regional semifinal against the Maroons, a landmark game often referred to half a century later as the Game of Change ; Whereas Mississippi State University president Dean Colvard and athletic director and men’s basketball coach James Harrison Babe McCarthy bravely accepted the Maroons' 1963 NCAA tournament invitation against the wishes of the Governor of Mississippi; Whereas, determined to play in the regional semifinal, the Maroons snuck out of Mississippi in the middle of the night to avoid an injunction, and the integrated Ramblers and the all-white Maroons met on the basketball court at Michigan State University on March 15, 1963; Whereas, with police surrounding the sports complex in East Lansing, Michigan, the Ramblers went on to defeat the Maroons in a competitive game by a score of 61 to 51 in the regional semifinal, a game that changed race relations on the basketball court forever and was selected by the NCAA in 2006 as one of the 25 defining moments in the first 100 years of the organization; Whereas the Ramblers went on to win games against the University of Illinois and Duke University before defeating the 2-time defending NCAA champion University of Cincinnati in overtime by a score of 60 to 58, the crowning achievement in Loyola University Chicago's nearly decade-long struggle with racial inequality in men's college basketball, highlighted by the tumultuous events of the 1963 NCAA tournament; Whereas the Ramblers' 1963 NCAA title was historic not only for the racial makeup of the Ramblers, but also because the University of Cincinnati had started 3 African-American players, making 7 of the 10 starters in the 1963 NCAA championship game African-American; Whereas the city of Chicago has many storied sports teams, but the Ramblers basketball team of 1963 and Coach Ireland hold an exalted place because they are the only NCAA Division I Illinois basketball team to win a national championship and because they paved the way for the long overdue integration of races in college basketball before the enactment of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 ( Public Law 88–352 ; 78 Stat. 241); Whereas all 5 starting players from the national championship game graduated from Loyola University with a degree, and several went on to earn advanced degrees in law and business; Whereas the journey of the Ramblers is not just the story of an underdog team overcoming great odds to beat the favored team from the University of Cincinnati, a much larger basketball program that held the number 1 ranking and had won the previous 2 national championships; Whereas the real significance of Coach Ireland and the Ramblers is the lasting impact of their bravery in breaking the racial barrier in college basketball that had been allowed to prevail for decades; and Whereas the 2013 Hall of Fame induction season will mark the 50th anniversary of the 1963 Ramblers' basketball championship, making the 1963 Ramblers the first whole team ever to be honored in the Hall of Fame: Now, therefore, be it\n\nThat the Senate— (1) congratulates Coach George Ireland and the 1963 Loyola University Chicago men's basketball championship team on their induction into the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame; (2) honors the 50th anniversary of the historic Division I National Collegiate Athletic Association championship of the Loyola University Chicago men's basketball team and the profound athletic and civil rights achievements of the 1963 team; and (3) honors the 1963 Mississippi State University men's basketball team for their bravery and sportsmanship in rejecting racism and aiding in the civil rights movement in the State of Mississippi and the southeastern United States.",

RES. 197 IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES July 17, 2013 Mr. Murphy submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Armed Services RESOLUTION Recommending the posthumous award of the Navy Cross to Lieutenant Thomas M. Conway of Waterbury, Connecticut.\n\nWhereas, on July 16, 1945, the USS Indianapolis departed San Francisco carrying the trigger and radioactive core for the atomic bomb Little Boy, destined to be dropped on Hiroshima; Whereas upon completing its delivery mission to Tinian Island on July 26, the USS Indianapolis proceeded to Okinawa in order to join a larger naval fleet in preparation for an invasion of the Japanese mainland; Whereas in the early hours of July 30, the USS Indianapolis was critically damaged by 2 torpedoes from a Japanese submarine; Whereas the USS Indianapolis sunk as a result of the damage, killing some 300 of the 1,196 sailors aboard; Whereas most of the estimated 900 survivors relied only on their kapok life jackets and belts and some did not even have that equipment; Whereas Lieutenant (Chaplain) Thomas M. Conway and the rest of the remaining crew were set adrift in the shark-infested waters with no way of further notifying Navy command; Whereas with complete disregard for his own safety, Lieutenant Conway swam back and forth among terrified crew members, administered aid to them, dragged loners back to the growing mass of survivors, organized prayer groups, and urged the increasingly dehydrated and delirious men not to give up hope of rescue; Whereas Lieutenant Conway expired on the third day, shortly before the remaining 321 sailors were rescued after being spotted by Navy pilots; Whereas the sinking of the USS Indianapolis was the single greatest loss of life at sea in the history of the Navy; Whereas the successful completion of the mission of the USS Indianapolis was critical to ending World War II; and Whereas Lieutenant Conway risked his own life in order to retrieve fellow sailors and went from lifeboat to lifeboat in shark-infested waters to tend to the dying and dispirited, acting in a manner far above the call of duty: Now, therefore, be it\n\nThat the Senate— (1) honors Lieutenant Conway for his heroics, which were above reproach, reflect great credit upon himself, and upheld the highest traditions of the U.S. Navy; (2) recognizes that the courageous and selfless actions of Lieutenant Conway saved the lives of many of his fellow sailors; (3) concurs that the actions of Lieutenant Conway are in the spirit and tradition of the Navy Cross; and (4) recommends that Lieutenant Conway posthumously be awarded the Navy Cross.",

"tv_txt": "III 113th CONGRESS 1st Session S. RES. 200 IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES July 25, 2013 Mr. Warner (for himself, Ms. Mikulski , Mr. Burr , Mr. Blunt , Mrs. Feinstein , Mr. Chambliss , Mr. Rockefeller , Mr. Roberts , Mr. Kaine , Mr. Rubio , Mr. Durbin , Mr. Hatch , Mr. Manchin , Mr. Schatz , Mr. Udall of Colorado , Mr. Risch , Mr. King , Mr. Whitehouse , Mr. Wyden , Mr. Heinrich , Mr. Coats , Ms. Collins , Mr. Coburn , and Ms. Hirono ) submitted the following resolution; which was considered and agreed to RESOLUTION Designating July 26, 2013, as United States Intelligence Professionals Day .\n\nWhereas on July 26, 1908, Attorney General Charles Bonaparte ordered newly-hired Federal investigators to report to the Office of the Chief Examiner of the Department of Justice, which subsequently was renamed the Federal Bureau of Investigation; Whereas on July 26, 1947, President Truman signed the National Security Act of 1947 ( 50 U.S.C. 3001 et seq. ), creating the Department of Defense, the National Security Council, the Central Intelligence Agency, and the Joint Chiefs of Staff, thereby laying the foundation for today’s intelligence community; Whereas the National Security Act of 1947, which appears in title 50 of the United States Code, governs the definition, composition, responsibilities, authorities, and oversight of the intelligence community of the United States; Whereas the intelligence community is defined by section 3(4) of the National Security Act of 1947 ( 50 U.S.C. 3003(4) ) to include the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the Central Intelligence Agency, the National Security Agency, the Defense Intelligence Agency, the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, the National Reconnaissance Office, other offices within the Department of Defense for the collection of specialized national intelligence through reconnaissance programs, the intelligence elements of the Army, the Navy, the Air Force, the Marine Corps, the Coast Guard, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Drug Enforcement Administration, and the Department of Energy, the Bureau of Intelligence and Research of the Department of State, the Office of Intelligence and Analysis of the Department of the Treasury, the elements of the Department of Homeland Security concerned with the analysis of intelligence information, and other elements as may be designated; Whereas July 26, 2012, was the 65th anniversary of the signing of the National Security Act of 1947 ( 50 U.S.C. 3001 et seq. ); Whereas the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 ( Public Law 108–458 ; 118 Stat. 3638) created the position of the Director of National Intelligence to serve as the head of the intelligence community and to ensure that national intelligence be timely, objective, independent of political considerations, and based upon all sources available; Whereas Congress has previously passed joint resolutions, signed by the President, to designate Peace Officers Memorial Day on May 15, Patriot Day on September 11, and other commemorative occasions, to honor the sacrifices of law enforcement officers and of those who lost their lives on September 11, 2001; Whereas the United States has increasingly relied upon the men and women of the intelligence community to protect and defend the security of the United States in the decade since the attacks of September 11, 2001; Whereas the men and women of the intelligence community, both civilian and military, have been increasingly called upon to deploy to theaters of war in Iraq, Afghanistan, and elsewhere since September 11, 2001; Whereas numerous intelligence officers of the elements of the intelligence community have been injured or killed in the line of duty; Whereas intelligence officers of the United States are routinely called upon to accept personal hardship and sacrifice in the furtherance of their mission to protect the United States, to undertake dangerous assignments in the defense of the interests of the United States, to collect reliable information within prescribed legal authorities upon which the leaders of the United States rely in life-and-death situations, and to speak truth to power. by providing their best assessments to decision makers, regardless of political and policy considerations; Whereas the men and women of the intelligence community have on numerous occasions succeeded in preventing attacks upon the United States and allies of the United States, saving numerous innocent lives; and Whereas intelligence officers of the United States must of necessity often remain unknown and unrecognized for their substantial achievements and successes: Now, therefore, be it\n\nThat the Senate— (1) designates July 26, 2013, as United States Intelligence Professionals Day ; (2) acknowledges the courage, fidelity, sacrifice, and professionalism of the men and women of the intelligence community of the United States; and (3) encourages the people of the United States to observe this day with appropriate ceremonies and activities.",

RES. 201 IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES July 25, 2013 Mr. Blunt (for himself, Mr. Schumer , Mr. Cardin , Ms. Mikulski , and Mr. Rubio ) submitted the following resolution; which was considered and agreed to RESOLUTION Designating the first Wednesday in September 2013 as National Polycystic Kidney Disease Awareness Day and raising awareness and understanding of polycystic kidney disease.\n\nWhereas National Polycystic Kidney Disease Awareness Day will raise public awareness and understanding of polycystic kidney disease, one of the most prevalent, life-threatening genetic kidney diseases; Whereas National Polycystic Kidney Disease Awareness Day will also foster understanding of the impact polycystic kidney disease has on patients and their families; Whereas polycystic kidney disease is a progressive, genetic disorder of the kidneys that causes damage to the kidneys and the cardiovascular, endocrine, hepatic, and gastrointestinal organ systems; Whereas polycystic kidney disease has a devastating impact on the health and finances of people of all ages, and equally affects people of all races, genders, nationalities, geographic locations, and income levels; Whereas, of the people diagnosed with polycystic kidney disease, approximately 10 percent have no family history of the disease, with the disease developing as a spontaneous (or new) mutation; Whereas there is no treatment or cure for polycystic kidney disease, which is one of the 4 leading causes of kidney failure in the United States; Whereas the vast majority of patients with polycystic kidney disease reach kidney failure at an average age of 53, causing a severe strain on dialysis and kidney transplantation resources and on the delivery of health care in the United States as the largest segment of the population of the United States, the baby boomers , continues to age; Whereas polycystic kidney disease instills in patients fear of an unknown future with a life-threatening genetic disease and apprehension over possible discrimination, including the risk of losing their health and life insurance, their jobs, and their chances for promotion; Whereas countless friends, loved ones, spouses, and caregivers must shoulder the physical, emotional, and financial burdens that polycystic kidney disease causes; Whereas the severity of the symptoms of polycystic kidney disease and the limited public awareness of the disease cause many patients to live in denial and forego regular visits to their physicians or avoid following good health management, which would help avoid more severe complications when kidney failure occurs; Whereas people who have chronic, life-threatening diseases like polycystic kidney disease have a predisposition to depression and its resultant consequences of 7 times the national average because of their anxiety over pain, suffering, and premature death; and Whereas the PKD Foundation and its more than 60 volunteer chapters around the United States are dedicated to conducting research to find treatments and a cure for polycystic kidney disease, fostering public awareness and understanding of the disease, educating patients and their families about the disease to improve their treatment and care, and providing support and encouraging people to become organ donors, including by sponsoring the annual Walk for PKD to raise funds for polycystic kidney disease research, education, advocacy, and awareness: Now, therefore, be it\n\nThat the Senate— (1) designates the first Wednesday in September 2013 as National Polycystic Kidney Disease Awareness Day ; (2) supports the goals and ideals of National Polycystic Kidney Disease Awareness Day to raise public awareness and understanding of polycystic kidney disease; (3) recognizes the need for additional research to find a cure for polycystic kidney disease; and (4) encourages all people in the United States and interested groups to support National Polycystic Kidney Awareness Day through appropriate ceremonies and activities to promote public awareness of polycystic kidney disease and to foster understanding of the impact of the disease on patients and their families.",

Government Printing Office (Washington, D.C., 1908), 11:732); Whereas whistleblowers risk their careers, jobs, and reputations by reporting waste, fraud, and abuse to the proper authorities; Whereas, when providing proper authorities with lawful disclosures, whistleblowers save taxpayers in the United States billions of dollars each year and serve the public interest by ensuring that the United States remains an ethical and safe place; and Whereas it is the public policy of the United States to encourage, in accordance with Federal law (including the Constitution, rules, and regulations) and consistent with the protection of classified information (including sources and methods of detection), honest and good faith reporting of misconduct, fraud, misdemeanors, and other crimes to the appropriate authority at the earliest time possible: Now, therefore, be it\n\nThat the Senate— (1) designates July 30, 2013, as National Whistleblower Appreciation Day ; and (2) ensures that the Federal Government implements the intent of the Founding Fathers, as reflected in the legislation enacted on July 30, 1778, by encouraging each executive agency to recognize National Whistleblower Appreciation Day by— (A) informing employees, contractors working on behalf of United States taxpayers, and members of the public about the legal rights of citizens of the United States to blow the whistle; and (B) acknowledging the contributions of whistleblowers to combating waste, fraud, abuse, and violations of laws and regulations in the United States.",

<p>Expresses the sense of the Senate that: (1) a two-state solution is the only outcome to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict which can ensure Israel's survival as a secure, democratic homeland for the Jewish people and fulfill the legitimate aspirations of the Palestinian people for their own state; (2) achievement of a two-state solution that would enhance stability and security in the Middle East is a fundamental U.S. security interest; (3) while only Israel and Palestine can make the difficult choices necessary to end their conflict, the United States remains indispensable to any viable effort to achieve that goal; (4) Secretary of State John Kerry is to be commended for his efforts to advance a negotiated two-state solution; and (5) the Senate pledges its support for a sustained U.S. diplomatic initiative to help Israel and Palestine conclude an agreement to end their conflict.</p>

RES. 204 IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES July 30, 2013 Mr. King (for himself and Ms. Collins ) submitted the following resolution; which was considered and agreed to RESOLUTION Designating August 7, 2013, as National Lighthouse and Lighthouse Preservation Day .\n\nWhereas August 7, 2013, marks the 224th anniversary of the signing by President George Washington of the Act entitled An Act for the establishment and support of lighthouses, beacons, buoys, and public piers , approved August 7, 1789 (commonly known as the Lighthouse Act of 1789 ) (1 Stat. 53, chapter 9); Whereas that Act, the ninth act of the 1st Congress, established a Federal role in the support, maintenance, and repair of all lighthouses, beacon buoys, and public piers necessary for safe navigation, commissioned the first Federal lighthouse, and represents the first public works act in the young United States; Whereas the establishment of the United States system of navigational aids set the United States on a path to the forefront of international maritime prominence and established lighthouses that played an integral role in the rich maritime history of the United States, as that history spread from the Atlantic coast, through the Great Lakes and the Gulf coast, to the Pacific States; Whereas those iconic structures, standing at land's end through 2 centuries, have symbolized safety, security, heroism, duty, and faithfulness; Whereas architects, designers, engineers, builders, and keepers devoted, and in some cases jeopardized, their lives for the safety of others during centuries of light tending by the United States Lighthouse Service and the United States Coast Guard; Whereas the automation of the light system exposed the historic lighthouse towers to the ravages of time and vandalism and yet, at the same time, opened an opportunity for citizen involvement in efforts to save and restore those beacons that mark the evolving maritime history of the United States and its coastal communities; Whereas the national lighthouse preservation movement has gained momentum over the past half century and is making major contributions to the preservation of maritime history and heritage and, through the development and enhancement of cultural tourism, to the economies of coastal communities in the United States; Whereas the National Historic Lighthouse Preservation Act of 2000 ( Public Law 106–355 ; 114 Stat. 1385), enacted on October 24, 2000, and with the aid of the lighthouse preservation community, provides an effective process administered by the General Services Administration and the National Park Service for transferring lighthouses to the best possible stewardship groups; Whereas, for the past several decades, regional and national groups have formed within the lighthouse preservation community to promote lighthouse heritage through research, education, tourism, and publications; Whereas the earliest and largest regional preservation group, the Great Lakes Lighthouse Keepers Association, headquartered in Michigan, marks its 30th anniversary in 2013, and the largest and oldest national group, the United States Lighthouse Society, which relocated from San Francisco, California, to the State of Washington in 2008, marks its 30th anniversary in 2014; Whereas other groups have also been formed to promote lighthouse preservation and history, many with regional chapters, including— (1) a national leadership council and forum named the American Lighthouse Council (formerly the American Lighthouse Coordinating Committee), currently headquartered in Illinois; (2) the American Lighthouse Foundation in Maine; (3) the Michigan Lighthouse Alliance and Michigan Lighthouse Conservancy; (4) the Maine Lights Program; (5) the Outer Banks Lighthouse Society in North Carolina; (6) the New Jersey Lighthouse Society; (7) the Florida Lighthouse Association; and (8) the Lighthouse Preservation Society in Massachusetts; Whereas major lighthouse publications, including the United States Lighthouse Society’s Keeper’s Log and the Lighthouse Digest, contribute greatly to the promotion of lighthouse heritage and preservation; Whereas single-lighthouse preservation efforts by individuals or organizations, including historical societies and governments, have even longer histories, including preservation efforts in— (1) Grosse Point, Illinois, established in 1935; (2) Buffalo, New York, established in 1962; (3) Navesink Twin Lights, New Jersey, established in 1962; (4) Point Fermin, California, established in 1970; (5) Charlotte-Genesse near Rochester, New York, established in 1965; (6) Key West, Florida, established in 1969; (7) Split Rock Lighthouse, Minnesota, established in 1971; (8) Ponce de Leon Inlet, Florida, established in 1972; (9) St. Augustine, Florida, established in 1981; and (10) Fire Island, New York, established in 1982; Whereas, despite progress, many lighthouses in the United States remain threatened by erosion, neglect, vandalism, and deterioration by the elements; Whereas Congress passed, and President Ronald Reagan signed, a Joint Resolution entitled Joint Resolution designating the day of August 7, 1989, as National Lighthouse Day , approved November 5, 1988 ( Public Law 100–622 ; 102 Stat. 3201), in honor of the bicentennial of the United States Lighthouse Service; and Whereas the many completed, ongoing, or planned private and public efforts to preserve lighthouses demonstrate the public support for those historic structures: Now, therefore, be it\n\nThat the Senate— (1) designates August 7, 2013, as National Lighthouse and Lighthouse Preservation Day ; (2) encourages lighthouse grounds to be made open to the general public to the extent feasible; and (3) encourages the people of the United States to observe National Lighthouse and Lighthouse Preservation Day with appropriate ceremonies and activities.",

This file contains bill summaries and statuses for federal legislation. A bill summary describes the most significant provisions of a piece of legislation and details the effects the legislative text may have on current law and federal programs. Bill summaries are authored by the Congressional Research Service (CRS) of the Library of Congress. As stated in Public Law 91-510 (2 USC 166 (d)(6)), one of the duties of CRS is "to prepare summaries and digests of bills and resolutions of a public general nature introduced in the Senate or House of Representatives".

RES. 206 IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES July 30, 2013 Mr. Sessions (for himself, Mr. Cardin , Mr. Crapo , Mr. Wicker , Mr. Chambliss , Mr. Johnson of South Dakota , Mr. Shelby , Mrs. Boxer , Mrs. Feinstein , Mr. Menendez , Mrs. Hagan , Mr. Moran , Ms. Ayotte , Mr. Blunt , and Mr. King ) submitted the following resolution; which was considered and agreed to RESOLUTION Designating September 2013 as National Prostate Cancer Awareness Month .\n\nWhereas 2,500,000 families in the United States live with prostate cancer; Whereas 1 in 6 males in the United States will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetimes; Whereas prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed non-skin cancer and the second most common cause of cancer-related deaths among males in the United States; Whereas the National Cancer Institute estimates that, in 2013, nearly 240,000 men will be diagnosed with, and more than 29,000 men will die of, prostate cancer; Whereas 40 percent of newly diagnosed prostate cancer cases occur in males under the age of 65; Whereas approximately every 14 seconds, a male in the United States turns 50 years old and increases his odds of developing cancer, including prostate cancer; Whereas African-American males suffer from a prostate cancer incidence rate that is up to 65 percent higher than that for white males and have double the prostate cancer mortality rate than that of white males; Whereas obesity is a significant predictor of the severity of prostate cancer; Whereas the probability that obesity will lead to death and high cholesterol levels is strongly associated with advanced prostate cancer; Whereas males in the United States with 1 family member diagnosed with prostate cancer have a 33 percent chance of being diagnosed with the disease, males with 2 close family members diagnosed have an 83 percent chance, and males with 3 family members diagnosed have a 97 percent chance; Whereas only 33 percent of males survive more than 5 years if diagnosed with prostate cancer after the cancer has metastasized; Whereas there are no noticeable symptoms of prostate cancer while in the early stages, making screening critical; Whereas screening by a digital rectal examination and a prostate-specific antigen blood test can detect the disease in the early stages, increasing the chances of survival for more than 5 years to nearly 100 percent; Whereas ongoing research promises further improvements in prostate cancer prevention, early detection, and treatment; and Whereas educating people in the United States, including health care providers, about prostate cancer and early detection strategies is crucial to saving the lives of males and preserving and protecting families: Now, therefore, be it\n\nThat the Senate— (1) designates September 2013 as National Prostate Cancer Awareness Month ; (2) declares that steps should be taken— (A) to raise awareness about the importance of screening methods for, and treatment of, prostate cancer; (B) to increase research funding to a level that is commensurate with the burden of prostate cancer, so that— (i) screening and treatment for prostate cancer may be improved; (ii) the causes of prostate cancer may be discovered; and (iii) a cure for prostate cancer may be developed; and (C) to continue to consider ways for improving access to, and the quality of, health care services for detecting and treating prostate cancer; and (3) calls on the people of the United States, interest groups, and affected persons— (A) to promote awareness of prostate cancer; (B) to take an active role in the fight to end the devastating effects of prostate cancer on individuals, families, and the economy; and (C) to observe National Prostate Cancer Awareness Month with appropriate ceremonies and activities.",

RES. 207 IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES July 31, 2013 Mr. Reed (for himself, Ms. Murkowski , Mr. Begich , Mrs. Hagan , Mr. Reid , Mr. Whitehouse , Mr. Chambliss , Mr. Cochran , Mr. Wicker , Mr. Blumenthal , Mr. Tester , Mr. Baucus , Mr. Moran , Mr. Isakson , Ms. Collins , Mr. Blunt , Mr. Burr , Mr. Casey , and Mrs. Murray ) submitted the following resolution; which was considered and agreed to RESOLUTION Designating August 16, 2013, as National Airborne Day .\n\nWhereas the members of the airborne forces of the Armed Forces of the United States have a long and honorable history as bold and fierce warriors who, for the national security of the United States and the defense of freedom and peace, project the ground combat power of the United States by air transport to the far reaches of the battle area and to the far corners of the world; Whereas the experiment of the United States with airborne operations began on June 25, 1940, when the Army Parachute Test Platoon was first authorized by the Department of War, and 48 volunteers began training in July 1940; Whereas August 16 marks the anniversary of the first official Army parachute jump, which took place on August 16, 1940, to test the innovative concept of inserting United States ground combat forces behind a battle line by means of a parachute; Whereas the success of the Army Parachute Test Platoon in the days immediately before the entry of the United States into World War II validated the airborne operational concept and led to the creation of a formidable force of airborne formations that included the 11th, 13th, 17th, 82nd, and 101st Airborne Divisions; Whereas, included in those divisions, and among other separate formations, were many airborne combat, combat support, and combat service support units that served with distinction and achieved repeated success in armed hostilities during World War II, and provide the lineage and legacy of many airborne units throughout the Armed Forces; Whereas the achievements of the airborne units during World War II prompted the evolution of those units into a diversified force of parachute and air-assault units that, over the years, have fought in Korea, Vietnam, Grenada, Panama, the Persian Gulf region, and Somalia, and have engaged in peacekeeping operations in Lebanon, the Sinai Peninsula, the Dominican Republic, Haiti, Bosnia, and Kosovo; Whereas, since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, the members of the United States airborne forces, including members of the XVIII Airborne Corps, the 82nd Airborne Division, the 101st Airborne Division, the 173rd Airborne Brigade Combat Team, the 4th Brigade Combat Team (Airborne) of the 25th Infantry Division, the 75th Ranger Regiment, special operations forces of the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, and Air Force, and other units of the Armed Forces, have demonstrated bravery and honor in combat, stability, and training operations in Afghanistan and Iraq; Whereas the modern-day airborne forces also include other elite forces composed of airborne trained and qualified special operations warriors, including Army Special Forces, Marine Corps Reconnaissance units, Navy SEALs, and Air Force combat control and pararescue teams; Whereas, of the members and former members of the United States airborne forces, thousands have achieved the distinction of making combat jumps, dozens have earned the Medal of Honor, and hundreds have earned the Distinguished Service Cross, the Silver Star, or other decorations and awards for displays of heroism, gallantry, intrepidity, and valor; Whereas the members and former members of the United States airborne forces are all members of a proud and honorable tradition that, together with the special skills and achievements of those members, distinguishes the members as intrepid combat parachutists, air assault forces, special operation forces, and, in the past, glider troops; Whereas individuals from every State in the United States have served gallantly in the airborne forces, and each State is proud of the contributions of its paratrooper veterans during the many conflicts faced by the United States; Whereas the history and achievements of the members and former members of the United States airborne forces warrant special expressions of the gratitude of the people of the United States; and Whereas, since the airborne forces, past and present, celebrate August 16 as the anniversary of the first official jump by the Army Parachute Test Platoon, August 16 is an appropriate day to recognize as National Airborne Day: Now, therefore, be it\n\nThat the Senate— (1) designates August 16, 2013, as National Airborne Day ; and (2) calls on the people of the United States to observe National Airborne Day with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities.",

a\n\t\t\t battle line by means of a parachute;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas the success of the Army Parachute Test Platoon in\n\t\t\t the days immediately before the entry of the United States into World War II\n\t\t\t validated the airborne operational concept and led to the creation of a\n\t\t\t formidable force of airborne formations that included the 11th, 13th, 17th,\n\t\t\t 82nd, and 101st Airborne Divisions;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas, included in those divisions, and among other\n\t\t\t separate formations, were many airborne combat, combat support, and combat\n\t\t\t service support units that served with distinction and achieved repeated\n\t\t\t success in armed hostilities during World War II, and provide the lineage and\n\t\t\t legacy of many airborne units throughout the Armed Forces;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas the achievements of the airborne units during\n\t\t\t World War II prompted the evolution of those units into a diversified force of\n\t\t\t parachute and air-assault units that, over the years, have fought in Korea,\n\t\t\t Vietnam, Grenada, Panama, the Persian Gulf region, and Somalia, and have\n\t\t\t engaged in peacekeeping operations in Lebanon, the Sinai Peninsula, the\n\t\t\t Dominican Republic, Haiti, Bosnia, and Kosovo;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas, since the terrorist attacks of September 11,\n\t\t\t 2001, the members of the United States airborne forces, including members of\n\t\t\t the XVIII Airborne Corps, the 82nd Airborne Division, the 101st Airborne\n\t\t\t Division, the 173rd Airborne Brigade Combat Team, the 4th Brigade Combat Team\n\t\t\t (Airborne) of the 25th Infantry Division, the 75th Ranger Regiment, special\n\t\t\t operations forces of the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, and Air Force, and other\n\t\t\t units of the Armed Forces, have demonstrated bravery and honor in combat,\n\t\t\t stability, and training operations in Afghanistan and Iraq;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas the modern-day airborne forces also include other\n\t\t\t elite forces composed of airborne trained and qualified special operations\n\t\t\t warriors, including Army Special Forces, Marine Corps Reconnaissance units,\n\t\t\t Navy SEALs, and Air Force combat control and pararescue teams;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas, of the members and former members of the United\n\t\t\t States airborne forces, thousands have achieved the distinction of making\n\t\t\t combat jumps, dozens have earned the Medal of Honor, and hundreds have earned\n\t\t\t the Distinguished Service Cross, the Silver Star, or other decorations and\n\t\t\t awards for displays of heroism, gallantry, intrepidity, and valor;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas the members and former members of the United\n\t\t\t States airborne forces are all members of a proud and honorable tradition that,\n\t\t\t together with the special skills and achievements of those members,\n\t\t\t distinguishes the members as intrepid combat parachutists, air assault forces,\n\t\t\t special operation forces, and, in the past, glider troops;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas individuals from every State in the United States\n\t\t\t have served gallantly in the airborne forces, and each State is proud of the\n\t\t\t contributions of its paratrooper veterans during the many conflicts faced by\n\t\t\t the United States;\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas the history and achievements of the members and\n\t\t\t former members of the United States airborne forces warrant special expressions\n\t\t\t of the gratitude of the people of the United States; and\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas, since the airborne forces, past and present,\n\t\t\t celebrate August 16 as the anniversary of the first official jump by the Army\n\t\t\t Parachute Test Platoon, August 16 is an appropriate day to recognize as\n\t\t\t National Airborne Day: Now, therefore, be it\n </text>\n </whereas>\n </preamble>\n <resolution-body>\n

RES. 208 IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES July 31, 2013 Mr. Cardin (for himself, Ms. Collins , Ms. Warren , Mr. Grassley , Mr. Brown , Mr. Rockefeller , and Mr. Murphy ) submitted the following resolution; which was considered and agreed to RESOLUTION Designating the week beginning September 8, 2013, as National Direct Support Professionals Recognition Week .\n\nWhereas direct support professionals, direct care workers, personal assistants, personal attendants, in-home support workers, and paraprofessionals (referred to in this preamble as direct support professionals ) are the primary providers of publicly funded long-term supports and services for millions of individuals; Whereas a direct support professional must build a close, trusted relationship with an individual with disabilities; Whereas a direct support professional assists an individual with disabilities with the most intimate needs on a daily basis; Whereas direct support professionals provide a broad range of support, including— (1) preparing meals; (2) managing medications; (3) bathing; (4) dressing; (5) helping with mobility; (6) providing transportation to school, work, and religious, and recreational activities; and (7) helping with general daily affairs; Whereas a direct support professional provides essential support to help keep an individual with disabilities connected to the family and community of the individual; Whereas direct support professionals enable individuals with disabilities to live meaningful, productive lives; Whereas a direct support professional is the key to allowing an individual with disabilities to live successfully in the community and avoid more costly institutional care; Whereas the majority of direct support professionals are female, and many are the sole breadwinners of their families; Whereas direct support professionals work and pay taxes, but many are impoverished and are eligible for the same Federal and State public assistance programs on which the individuals with disabilities served by the direct support professionals must depend; Whereas Federal and State policies, as well as the Supreme Court in Olmstead v. L.C., 527 U.S. 581 (1999), assert the right of an individual to live in the home and community of the individual; Whereas, in 2013, the majority of direct support professionals are employed in home- and community-based settings, and this trend is projected to increase during this decade; Whereas there is a documented critical and growing shortage of direct support professionals in every community throughout the United States; and Whereas many direct support professionals are forced to leave jobs due to inadequate wages and benefits, creating high turnover and vacancy rates that research demonstrates adversely affects the quality of support provided to individuals with disabilities: Now, therefore, be it\n\nThat the Senate— (1) designates the week beginning September 8, 2013, as National Direct Support Professionals Recognition Week ; (2) recognizes the dedication and vital role of direct support professionals in enhancing the lives of individuals of all ages with disabilities; (3) appreciates the contribution of direct support professionals in supporting the needs that are beyond the capacities of millions of families in the United States; (4) commends direct support professionals as integral in supporting the long-term support and services system of the United States; and (5) finds that the successful implementation of the public policies of the United States depends on the dedication of direct support professionals.",

RES. 210 IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES July 31, 2013 Mr. Leahy (for himself, Mr. Grassley , Mrs. Feinstein , Mr. Hatch , Mr. Durbin , Mr. Cornyn , Mr. Whitehouse , Mr. Blumenthal , and Ms. Hirono ) submitted the following resolution; which was considered and agreed to RESOLUTION Recognizing and honoring Robert S. Mueller, III, Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.\n\nWhereas Robert S. Mueller, III has enjoyed a long and distinguished career in public service as a military officer, as a prosecutor, and as the sixth Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (referred to in this preamble as the FBI ); Whereas Director Mueller received his undergraduate degree from Princeton University, a master’s degree in International Relations from New York University, and a juris doctor from the University of Virginia; Whereas Director Mueller served with bravery in the United States Marine Corps during the Vietnam War, leading a rifle platoon of the 3rd Marine Division and earning the Bronze Star, 2 Navy Commendation Medals, the Purple Heart, and the Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry; Whereas Director Mueller began his career in law enforcement in 1976 as an Assistant United States Attorney in the United States Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of California in San Francisco, and then served as an Assistant United States Attorney for the District of Massachusetts in Boston; Whereas Director Mueller later served in a variety of other positions in the Department of Justice, including as a senior litigator in the Homicide Section of the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia, assistant to Attorney General Richard L. Thornburgh, and Assistant Attorney General for the Criminal Division; Whereas, in 1998, Director Mueller was nominated by President William J. Clinton and confirmed by the Senate to be the United States Attorney for the Northern District of California in San Francisco; Whereas, in 2001, Director Mueller was nominated by President George W. Bush and confirmed by the Senate to be the Director of the FBI; Whereas Director Mueller took office as Director of the FBI on September 4, 2001, just 1 week before the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001; Whereas Director Mueller led the FBI in the wake of the September 11 attacks and helped transform the FBI into an intelligence-driven organization with a primary focus on national security threats; Whereas, in 2011, Director Mueller again answered the call to public service by agreeing to serve for an additional 2 years beyond his original 10-year term as Director of the FBI; Whereas, in 2011, Congress enacted legislation creating a special 2-year term that enabled Director Mueller to continue serving as Director of the FBI; Whereas Director Mueller has earned the trust and respect of Senators from both parties as a result of his candor, integrity, and unwavering commitment to the rule of law; and Whereas, throughout the past 12 years, Director Mueller has embodied the principles of fidelity, bravery, and integrity that are at the core of the FBI: Now, therefore, be it\n\nThat the Senate— (1) recognizes and honors the distinguished service of Robert S. Mueller, III as the sixth Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation; and (2) expresses, on behalf of the United States, its deep appreciation to Director Mueller for his dedication, sacrifice, and outstanding service to his country.",

RES. 213 IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES August 1, 2013 Mr. Menendez (for himself, Mr. Rubio , Mr. Nelson , Mr. Kaine , Mr. Udall of New Mexico , Mr. McCain , and Mr. Kirk ) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations RESOLUTION Expressing support for the free and peaceful exercise of representative democracy in Venezuela and condemning violence and intimidation against the country’s political opposition.\n\nWhereas the National Electoral Council (CNE) of Venezuela declared Nicolás Maduro to be the winner of Venezuela's April 14, 2013, presidential election, after crediting him with receiving 50.6 percent of votes cast; Whereas Venezuela’s political opposition has highlighted widespread incidents of potential electoral irregularities, voter intimidation, and other abuses perpetrated by the Government of Venezuela in favor of the candidacy of Nicolás Maduro; Whereas the Organization of American States and other multilateral institutions called for a full recount and audit that addresses all claims by participants in the electoral process in Venezuela; Whereas the Senate of the Republic of Chile, the Christian Democratic Organization of the Americas, the Socialist International, the Union of Latin American parties, and other political organizations in the region have issued declarations recognizing the alleged irregularities documented by the opposition in Venezuela and urged a complete audit of the election results; Whereas the CNE has denied the political opposition's request for a full and comprehensive audit of the election results that includes the review and comparison of voter registry log books, vote tallies produced by electronic voting machines, and the paper receipts printed by electronic voting machines; Whereas the Preamble of the Charter of the Organization of American States affirms that representative democracy is an indispensable condition for the stability, peace and development of the region, and Article 1 of the Inter-American Democratic Charter recognizes that the people of the Americas have a right to democracy and their governments have an obligation to promote and defend it ; Whereas the republican form of government prescribed in the Constitution of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela has its legislative branch in the National Assembly, where the free participation and deliberation of its democratically elected representatives is essential to legislate and check the powers of the executive branch; Whereas the President of the National Assembly denied opposition parties the right to speak in the legislature from April 16 to May 21, 2013, and removed them from key committees in response to their refusal to recognize Nicolás Maduro as president; Whereas members of the ruling United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV) violently assaulted opposition legislators on April 16 and April 30, 2013, in the National Assembly, causing lacerations, broken bones, and other injuries to members of the political opposition; Whereas the Department of State responded to the violence against opposition legislators in Venezuela by declaring that violence has no place in a representative and democratic system, and is particularly inappropriate in the National Assembly ; Whereas the Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS) has repudiated the incident by stating that it reflects, in a dramatic manner, the absence of a political dialogue that can bring tranquility to the citizens and to the members of the different public powers to resolve in a peaceful climate and with everybody's participation the pending matters of the country ; Whereas the Congress of the Republic of Peru passed a resolution rejecting the use of violence against opposition parties in the Venezuelan National Assembly and expressing solidarity with those injured by the events of April 2013; and Whereas, as a member of the Organization of American States and signatory to the Inter-American Democratic Charter, the Bolivarian Government of Venezuela has agreed to abide by the principles of constitutional, representative democracy, which include free and fair elections and adherence to its own constitution: Now, therefore, be it\n\nThat the Senate— (1) supports the people of Venezuela in their pursuit of the free exercise of representative democracy in Venezuela; (2) calls for greater dialogue between all political actors in Venezuela and strongly deplores the undemocratic denial of legitimate parliamentary rights to members of opposition parties in the National Assembly and the inexcusable violence perpetrated against opposition legislators inside the legislative chambers of Venezuela; (3) commends legislators from other nations in the Americas who have declared their opposition to political irregularities and the use of violence against opposition parliamentarians in Venezuela; (4) urges the Organization of American States to issue a detailed report on any and all irregularities resulting from the April 14, 2013, presidential election in Venezuela; (5) urges the United States Ambassador to the Organization of American States to work in concert with other member states to use the full power of the organization in support of meaningful steps to ensure full parliamentary democracy and the rule of law in Venezuela in accordance with the Inter-American Democratic Charter, including invoking articles related to unconstitutional interruptions of the democratic order in a member state; and (6) urges the United States Ambassador to the Organization of American States to work in concert with other member states to strengthen the ability of the Organization to protect democratic institutions and to respond to the erosion of democracy in member states.",

Whereas Venezuela’s political opposition has highlighted widespread incidents of potential electoral irregularities, voter intimidation, and other abuses perpetrated by the Government of Venezuela in favor of the candidacy of Nicolás Maduro; Whereas the Organization of American States and other multilateral institutions called for a full recount and audit that addresses all claims by participants in the electoral process in Venezuela; Whereas the Senate of the Republic of Chile, the Christian Democratic Organization of the Americas, the Socialist International, the Union of Latin American parties, and other political organizations in the region have issued declarations recognizing the alleged irregularities documented by the opposition in Venezuela and urged a complete audit of the election results; Whereas the CNE has denied the political opposition's request for a full and comprehensive audit of the election results that includes the review and comparison of voter registry log books, vote tallies produced by electronic voting machines, and the paper receipts printed by electronic voting machines; Whereas the Preamble of the Charter of the Organization of American States affirms that representative democracy is an indispensable condition for the stability, peace and development of the region, and Article 1 of the Inter-American Democratic Charter recognizes that the people of the Americas have a right to democracy and their governments have an obligation to promote and defend it ; Whereas the republican form of government prescribed in the Constitution of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela has its legislative branch in the National Assembly, where the free participation and deliberation of its democratically elected representatives is essential to legislate and check the powers of the executive branch; Whereas the President of the National Assembly denied opposition parties the right to speak in the legislature from April 16 to May 21, 2013, and removed them from key committees in response to their refusal to recognize Nicolás Maduro as president; Whereas members of the ruling United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV) violently assaulted opposition legislators on April 16 and April 30, 2013, in the National Assembly, causing lacerations, broken bones, and other injuries to members of the political opposition; Whereas the Department of State responded to the violence against opposition legislators in Venezuela by declaring that violence has no place in a representative and democratic system, and is particularly inappropriate in the National Assembly ; Whereas the Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS) has repudiated the incident by stating that it reflects, in a dramatic manner, the absence of a political dialogue that can bring tranquility to the citizens and to the members of the different public powers to resolve in a peaceful climate and with everybody's participation the pending matters of the country ; Whereas the Congress of the Republic of Peru passed a resolution rejecting the use of violence against opposition parties in the Venezuelan National Assembly and expressing solidarity with those injured by the events of April 2013; and Whereas, as a member of the Organization of American States and signatory to the Inter-American Democratic Charter, the Bolivarian Government of Venezuela has agreed to abide by the principles of constitutional, representative democracy, which include free and fair elections and adherence to its own constitution: Now, therefore, be it Whereas the Constitution of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela guarantees its citizens full political rights, including the right to freely associate for democratic political purposes, and the right to a secret ballot through regular free, universal, direct elections and referenda; Whereas the Preamble of the Charter of the Organization of American States affirms that “representative democracy is an indispensable condition for the stability, peace and development of the region,” and Article 1 of the Inter-American Democratic Charter recognizes that “the people of the Americas have a right to democracy and their governments have an obligation to promote and defend it”; Whereas the National Electoral Council (CNE) of Venezuela declared Nicolas Maduro to have been elected in Venezuela’s April 14, 2013, presidential election, with 50.6 percent of votes cast; Whereas the Senate of the Republic of Chile, the Christian Democratic Organization of the Americas, the Socialist International, the Union of Latin American parties, and other political organizations in the region issued declarations recognizing the alleged irregularities documented by the opposition in Venezuela and urged a complete audit of the election results; Whereas the Supreme Court of Venezuela refused to hear legal cases presented by the political opposition regarding alleged violations of electoral law, and the CNE denied the opposition’s request for a full and comprehensive audit of the election results that includes the review and comparison of voter registry log books, vote tallies produced by electronic voting machines, and the paper receipts printed by electronic voting machines; Whereas Venezuela’s Unified Democratic Platform (MUD) has formally requested the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights to conduct an impartial review of alleged violations of Venezuelans’ civic rights through electoral irregularities, voter intimidation, and other abuses in the April 2013 elections, and the Government of Venezuela subsequently announced its withdrawal from the Inter-American Court on Human Rights; Whereas, in response to the political opposition’s decision not to recognize Nicolas Maduro as President, legislators from opposition parties in Venezuela were denied the right to speak and removed from key committees by the President of the National Assembly, were violently assaulted by members of the ruling United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV), and increasingly face the prospect of politically-motivated criminal charges; Whereas the Congress of the Republic of Peru passed a resolution rejecting the use of violence against opposition parties in the Venezuelan National Assembly and expressing solidarity with those injured by the events of April 2013, and the Department of State responded to the violence against opposition legislators in Venezuela by declaring that “violence has no place in a representative and democratic system, and is particularly inappropriate in the National Assembly”; Whereas the Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS) repudiated the incident by stating that it “reflects, in a dramatic manner, the absence of a political dialogue that can bring tranquility to the citizens and to the members of the different public powers to resolve in a peaceful climate and with everybody’s participation the pending matters of the country”; and Whereas, as a member of the Organization of American States and signatory to the Inter-American Democratic Charter, the Bolivarian Government of Venezuela has agreed to abide by the principles of constitutional, representative democracy, which include free and fair elections and adherence to its own constitution: Now, therefore, be it\n\nThat the Senate— (1) supports the people of Venezuela in their pursuit of the free exercise of representative democracy in Venezuela; (2) calls for greater dialogue between all political actors in Venezuela and strongly deplores the undemocratic denial of legitimate parliamentary rights to members of opposition parties in the National Assembly and the inexcusable violence perpetrated against opposition legislators inside the legislative chambers of Venezuela;

Whereas the Supreme Court of Venezuela refused to hear legal cases presented by the political opposition regarding alleged violations of electoral law, and the CNE denied the opposition’s request for a full and comprehensive audit of the election results that includes the review and comparison of voter registry log books, vote tallies produced by electronic voting machines, and the paper receipts printed by electronic voting machines;

"tv_txt": "III 113th CONGRESS 1st Session S. RES. 219 IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES September 9, 2013 Mr. Cardin submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations RESOLUTION Calling for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and others to be tried before the International Criminal Court for committing war crimes and crimes against humanity.\n\nWhereas the United States intelligence community assessed with high confidence that the Government of Syria carried out a chemical weapons attack in the Damascus suburbs on August 21, 2013, killing 1,429 Syrians; Whereas the United Nations estimates that, since the uprising in Syria began in March 2011, more than 100,000 people, mainly civilians, have been killed; Whereas Syria and neighboring countries are facing a growing humanitarian crisis, with 2,000,000 Syrians having fled the country, and millions more being displaced internally; Whereas, under the command of President Bashar al-Assad, Syrian government forces and shabiha forces have been accused of gross human rights violations, including heavy shelling of civilian areas, widespread pillaging and the burning of homes, denial of basic human needs such as food, water, and medical care, mass torture and arrests, unlawful detention, and brutal execution-style killings; Whereas terrorist groups operating in Syria have reportedly engaged in kidnapping for ransom, violence, summary executions, torture, and other gross human rights violations against civilians; Whereas the United States has implemented a series of sanctions through five Executive orders pertaining to the situation in Syria; Whereas the United Nations Human Rights Council has held four special sessions, issued four reports of the Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Syrian Arab Republic, and adopted seven resolutions devoted to the situation in Syria; Whereas the United Nations Security Council has adopted three resolutions authorizing an advance team to monitor the ceasefire in Syria and a short-lived United Nations Supervision Mission in Syria (UNSMIS); Whereas the United Nations General Assembly has adopted five resolutions regarding human rights and the situation in Syria; Whereas the situation in Syria continues to deteriorate despite such actions by the international community; Whereas United Nations Security Council Resolution 1540 (2004) prohibits all United Nations member states, including Syria, from providing any form of support to non-state actors that attempt to develop, acquire, possess, transfer, or use chemical weapons or other weapons of mass destruction, and it reaffirms that weapon of mass destruction proliferation constitutes a threat to international peace and security ; Whereas, on February 22, 2012, the United Nations Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Syrian Arab Republic found in its second report that, after further review, a reliable body of evidence exists that, consistent with other verified circumstances, provides reasonable grounds to believe that particular individuals, including commanding officers and officials at the highest levels of Government, bear responsibility for crimes against humanity and other gross human rights violations ; Whereas, on February 5, 2013, the United Nations Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Syrian Arab Republic found in its report that Syrian forces and affiliated militia committed crimes against humanity, war crimes, and gross violations of international human rights and that anti-government forces committed war crimes; Whereas the February 5, 2013, United Nations Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Syrian Arab Republic found that government forces, affiliated militia, and anti-government forces have violated the rights of children and that government forces and affiliated militia have committed widespread sexual violence; Whereas the report recommends that the United Nations Security Council take appropriate action and commit to human rights and the rule of law by means of referral to justice, possibly to the International Criminal Court, bearing in mind that, in the context of the Syrian Arab Republic, only the Security Council is competent to refer the situation to the Court ; Whereas the United Nations conducted an investigation into the alleged August 21, 2013, chemical weapons attack in the Damascus suburbs; Whereas the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights has repeatedly called on the United Nations Security Council to consider referring the situation of Syria to the International Criminal Court; and Whereas the International Criminal Court is an independent body whose mission is to investigate and prosecute individuals for crimes within its jurisdiction, including crimes against humanity, war crimes, and genocide: Now, therefore, be it\n\nThat the Senate— (1) strongly condemns the ongoing violence, the use of chemical weapons, and the systematic gross human rights violations carried out by Syrian government forces under direction of President Bashar al-Assad as well as abuses committed by other groups involved in the civil war in Syria; (2) expresses its support for the people of Syria seeking peaceful democratic change; and (3) calls on the United Nations Security Council, based on evidence that war crimes and crimes against humanity have been perpetrated in Syria, to refer the situation of Syria to the International Criminal Court.",

RES. 222 IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES September 11, 2013 Mr. Cardin (for himself and Mr. Enzi ) submitted the following resolution; which was considered and agreed to RESOLUTION Supporting the goals and ideals of National Save for Retirement Week, including raising public awareness of the various tax-preferred retirement vehicles and increasing personal financial literacy.\n\nWhereas people in the United States are living longer, and the cost of retirement is increasing significantly; Whereas Social Security remains the bedrock of retirement income for the great majority of the people of the United States but was never intended by Congress to be the sole source of retirement income for families; Whereas recent data from the Employee Benefit Research Institute indicates that, in the United States, less than 3/5 of workers or their spouses are saving for retirement, and the amount that workers have saved for retirement is much less than the amount they need to adequately fund their retirement years; Whereas the financial literacy of workers in the United States is important to their understanding of the need to save for retirement; Whereas saving for retirement is a key component of overall financial health and security during retirement years, and the importance of financial literacy in planning for retirement must be advocated; Whereas many workers may not be aware of their options in saving for retirement or may not have focused on the importance of, and need for, saving for retirement; Whereas, although many employees have access through their employers to defined benefit and defined contribution plans to assist them in preparing for retirement, many of those employees may not be taking advantage of those plans at all or to the full extent allowed by Federal law; Whereas saving for retirement is necessary even during economic downturns or market declines, which makes continued contributions all the more important; Whereas all workers, including public and private sector employees, employees of tax-exempt organizations, and self-employed individuals, can benefit from developing personal budgets and financial plans that include retirement savings strategies that take advantage of tax-preferred retirement savings vehicles; and Whereas the week October 20 through October 26, 2013 has been designated as National Save for Retirement Week : Now, therefore, be it\n\nThat the Senate— (1) supports the goals and ideals of National Save for Retirement Week, including raising public awareness of the importance of saving adequately for retirement; (2) supports the need to raise public awareness of a variety of ways to save for retirement that are favored under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and that, although utilized by many people in the United States, should be utilized by more; and (3) calls on States, localities, schools, universities, nonprofit organizations, businesses, other entities, and the people of the United States to observe National Save for Retirement Week with appropriate programs and activities, with the goal of increasing the retirement savings and personal financial literacy of all people in the United States.",

RES. 225 IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES September 12, 2013 Mr. Cruz (for himself, Mr. Vitter , Mr. Blunt , Mr. Toomey , Mr. Paul , Mr. Scott , Mr. Lee , Mr. Inhofe , Ms. Ayotte , Mr. Portman , Mr. Coburn , Mr. Risch , Mr. Johnson of Wisconsin , Mr. Heller , Mr. Isakson , Mr. Crapo , Mr. Roberts , Mr. Burr , Mr. Graham , Mr. Barrasso , Mr. Enzi , Mr. Grassley , and Mr. Cochran ) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Rules and Administration RESOLUTION To express the sense of the Senate that Congress should establish a joint select committee to investigate and report on the attack on the United States diplomatic facility and American personnel in Benghazi, Libya, on September 11, 2012.\n\nWhereas the September 11, 2012, terrorist attack on the United States diplomatic facility in Benghazi, Libya, resulted in the brutal deaths of four Americans: Ambassador Christopher Stevens, Foreign Service Officer Sean Smith, and former Navy SEALS Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods; Whereas the Nation commemorates and mourns the loss of these American heroes; Whereas Ambassador Christopher Stevens is the first United States ambassador to be murdered since Ambassador Adolph Dubs was kidnapped and killed in Afghanistan in 1979; Whereas President Barack Obama declared in his first address to the Nation about the attack on September 12, 2012, make no mistake, we will work with the Libyan government to bring to justice the killers who attacked our people, yet there has been no action of reprisal and no justice rendered; Whereas failure to hold accountable the perpetrators of this vicious attack will leave terrorists around the world with the impression that they can kill Americans and escape the consequences—increasing the likelihood of future attacks; Whereas progress in the investigation into the attacks on the United States diplomatic facility has been disappointing, and no suspects are in United States custody; Whereas whistleblowers, including former Deputy Chief of Mission Gregory Hicks, have reported unwarranted repercussions and fear of retaliation; Whereas the Department of State's lack of adequate cooperation has prevented congressional committees from properly investigating and receiving direct testimony on behalf of Benghazi survivors; Whereas the American people deserve to have a complete account from their government of the events in Benghazi before, during, and after the September 11, 2012, attack because, as Gregory Hicks said, the American people need to have the story.

RES. 226 IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES September 12, 2013 Mr. Brown (for himself, Mr. Portman , Mr. Durbin , Mr. Kirk , Ms. Landrieu , and Mr. Sessions ) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary RESOLUTION Celebrating the 100th anniversary of the birth of James Cleveland Jesse Owens and honoring him for his accomplishments and steadfast commitment to promoting the civil rights of all people.\n\nWhereas James Cleveland Jesse Owens was born on September 12, 1913 in Oakville, Alabama; Whereas Jesse Owens, the youngest of 10 children of sharecroppers and the grandson of a slave, moved with his family at the age of 9 to Cleveland, Ohio as part of the Great Migration; Whereas, as a student at Fairmount Junior High School, Jesse Owens broke junior high school world records for the high jump and the broad jump; Whereas Jesse Owens attended East Technical High School in Cleveland, Ohio where, as a member of the track team, he placed first in 75 of the 79 races he entered during his senior year, set the world record in the 220-yard dash, and tied the world record in the 100-yard dash; Whereas Jesse Owens, the Buckeye Bullet , matriculated at the Ohio State University in 1933 after attracting national attention as a high school athlete; Whereas, while attending classes, training, and breaking a number of track and field records, Jesse Owens worked various jobs, including as an elevator operator at the Ohio State Capitol, a waiter, a gas station attendant, and a library employee; Whereas, due to his race, Jesse Owens was barred from living on campus at the Ohio State University, denied service at restaurants near the University, and forced to stay in segregated hotels; Whereas, on May 25, 1935, in a 45-minute period during the Big Ten Track and Field Championships in Ann Arbor, Michigan, Jesse Owens, competing with an injured back, tied the world record in the 100-yard dash and set new world records in the long jump, the 220-yard dash, and the 220-yard low hurdles; Whereas, as of the 2012 Summer Olympics, only two men had surpassed the long jump record Jesse Owens set in 1935; Whereas, at the 1936 Summer Olympics, Jesse Owens won 4 gold medals, tied the world record in the 100-meter dash, and set new Olympic records in the 200-meter race, the long jump, and the 400-meter relay; Whereas Jesse Owens’ resilience and heroic performance at the 1936 Summer Olympics exposed the struggle against racial bigotry and publicly defied Adolf Hitler’s intention of proving that ethnicity was a predetermining factor for achievement; Whereas the record-breaking performance by Jesse Owens at the 1936 Summer Olympics was never recognized by President Franklin D. Roosevelt or President Harry S. Truman, but was later recognized in 1955 by President Dwight D. Eisenhower, who referred to Jesse Owens as an Ambassador of Sport ; Whereas, following his Olympic career, Jesse Owens resumed his commitment to public service by spending much of his time working with community groups such as the Boys Clubs of America, chronicling his personal story to magnify the importance of equality and civil rights; Whereas, during the 1950s, Jesse Owens worked with the Department of State to promote democracy abroad as an Ambassador of Goodwill during the Cold War and advocated for socioeconomic equality, individuality, freedom, and love of country; Whereas Jesse Owens was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Gerald R. Ford in 1976 and the Living Legend Award by President Jimmy Carter in 1979, and was posthumously awarded the Congressional Gold Medal by President George H.W. Bush in 1990; and Whereas the integrity, courage, and strength of character that Jesse Owens demonstrated remain an example for all people of the United States: Now, therefore, be it\n\nThat the Senate— (1) honors and celebrates the 100th anniversary of the birth of James Cleveland Jesse Owens; and (2) supports and encourages the people of the United States to recognize the contributions of Jesse Owens to the Olympic Games, collegiate athletics, international race relations, and democracy.",

RES. 242 IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES September 19, 2013 Mr. Kirk submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary RESOLUTION Supporting the goals and ideals of Growth Awareness Week .\n\nWhereas, according to the Pictures of Standard Syndromes and Undiagnosed Malformations database (commonly known as the POSSUM database), more than 600 serious diseases and health conditions cause growth failure; Whereas health conditions that cause growth failure may affect the overall health of a child; Whereas short stature may be a symptom of a serious underlying health condition; Whereas growth failure in children is often undiagnosed; Whereas, according to the MAGIC Foundation for Children’s Growth, 48 percent of children in the United States who were evaluated for the 2 most common causes of growth failure were undiagnosed with growth failure; Whereas the longer a child with growth failure goes undiagnosed, the greater the potential for damage and higher costs of care; Whereas early detection and a diagnosis of growth failure are crucial to ensure a healthy future for a child with growth failure; Whereas raising public awareness of, and educating the public about, growth failure is a vital public service; Whereas providing resources for identification of growth failure will allow for early detection; and Whereas the MAGIC Foundation for Children's Growth has designated the third week of September as Growth Awareness Week : Now, therefore, be it\n\nThat the Senate— (1) designates the third week of September 2013 as Growth Awareness Week ; and (2) supports the goals and ideals of Growth Awareness Week .",

RES. 246 IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES September 19, 2013 Mr. Menendez (for himself, Mr. Reid , Mr. Cornyn , Mr. Begich , Mr. Bennet , Mrs. Boxer , Mr. Coons , Mr. Durbin , Mrs. Feinstein , Mrs. Hagan , Mr. Heinrich , Mr. Kaine , Ms. Mikulski , Mr. Nelson , Mr. Reed , Mr. Rubio , Mr. Schumer , Ms. Stabenow , Mr. Udall of Colorado , Mr. Udall of New Mexico , Mr. Warner , Mr. Brown , Mr. Merkley , Mr. Heller , Mr. Casey , Ms. Warren , Mr. Enzi , Mrs. Murray , and Mr. Cardin ) submitted the following resolution; which was considered and agreed to RESOLUTION Recognizing Hispanic Heritage Month and celebrating the heritage and culture of Latinos in the United States and the immense contributions of Latinos to the United States.\n\nWhereas from September 15, 2013 through October 15, 2013, the United States celebrates Hispanic Heritage Month; Whereas the Census Bureau estimates the Hispanic population in the United States at over 53,000,000 people, making Hispanic Americans the largest racial or ethnic minority group in the United States overall and in 21 individual States; Whereas the United States Hispanic population is ranked 2nd worldwide, exceeding the size of every country except Mexico; Whereas 8 States in the United States had 1,000,000 or more Latino residents in 2012, inlcuding Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, New Jersey, New York, and Texas; Whereas Latinos grew the United States population by 1,100,000 between July 1, 2011 and July 1, 2012, accounting for nearly half of all population growth during this period; Whereas the Hispanic population in the United States is projected to grow to 128,800,000 by 2060, at which point the Hispanic population will comprise 31 percent of the total United States population, which is nearly double the 2012 percentage; Whereas 1 in 4 public school students in the United States is Hispanic, and the total number of school-age Hispanic children in the United States is expected to reach 28,000,000 by 2050; Whereas 19 percent of all college students between the ages of 18 and 24 years old are Hispanic, making Hispanics the largest racial or ethnic minority group on college campuses in the United States, including both 2-year community colleges and 4-year colleges and universities; Whereas a record 11,200,000 Latinos voted in the 2012 presidential election, representing a record 8.4 percent of the electorate in the United States; Whereas the annual purchasing power of Hispanic Americans is an estimated $1,200,000,000,000 and is expected to grow to $1,500,000,000,000 by 2015; Whereas there are approximately 3,000,000 Hispanic-owned firms in the United States, supporting millions of employees nationwide and contributing more than $500,000,000,000 in revenue to the economy of the United States; Whereas Hispanic-owned businesses represent the fastest-growing segment of small businesses in the United States, with Hispanic entrepreneurs starting businesses at more than double the national rate; Whereas as of August 2013, nearly 25,000,0000 Hispanic workers represented 16 percent of the total civilian labor force in the United States and the share of Latino labor force participation is expected to grow to 18.5 percent by 2020; Whereas Latinos have the highest labor force participation rate of any racial or ethnic group (66.3 percent compared to 63.2 percent overall); Whereas Hispanic Americans serve in all branches of the Armed Forces and have bravely fought in every war in the history of the United States; Whereas as of July 31, 2013, 162,717 Hispanic active duty service members served with distinction in the Armed Forces of the United States; Whereas as of June 30, 2013, a total of 82,343 Hispanics had served in Afghanistan; Whereas as of September 2013, 668 United States military fatalities in Iraq and Afghanistan have been Hispanic; Whereas more than 80,000 Hispanics served in the Vietnam War, representing 5.5 percent of individuals who made the ultimate sacrifice for the United States in the conflict, even though Hispanics comprised only 4.5 percent of the population of the United States at the time; Whereas 140,000 Hispanic soldiers served in the Korean War; Whereas as of September 2013, there are an estimated 1,377,000 Hispanic veterans of the Armed Forces of the United States; Whereas 44 Hispanic Americans have received the Congressional Medal of Honor, the highest award for valor in action against an enemy force that can be bestowed on an individual serving in the Armed Forces of the United States; Whereas Hispanic Americans are dedicated public servants, holding posts at the highest levels of government, including 1 seat on the Supreme Court, 3 seats in the Senate, 35 seats in the House of Representatives, and 1 seat in the Cabinet; and Whereas Hispanic Americans harbor a deep commitment to family and community, an enduring work ethic, and a perseverance to succeed and contribute to society: Now, therefore, be it\n\nThat the Senate— (1) recognizes the celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month from September 15, 2013 through October 15, 2013; (2) esteems the integral role of Latinos and the manifold heritage of Latinos in the economy, culture, and identity of the United States; and (3) urges the people of the United States to observe Hispanic Heritage Month with appropriate programs and activities that celebrate the cultural contributions of Latinos to American life.",

RES. 251 IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES September 23, 2013 Mr. Sessions submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions RESOLUTION Expressing the sense of the Senate that the United States Preventive Services Task Force should reevaluate its recommendations against prostate-specific antigen-based screening for prostate cancer for men in all age groups in consultation with appropriate specialists.\n\nWhereas the United States Preventive Services Task Force (referred to in this preamble as the USPSTF ) is an independent panel of primary care physicians, not employed by the Federal Government, who are experts in preventive and evidence-based medicine; Whereas the physicians on the USPSTF conduct scientific evidence reviews of a broad range of clinical health care preventive services and develop recommendations for primary care clinicians and health systems; Whereas prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths of men in the United States; Whereas the National Cancer Institute estimates that, in 2013, 238,590 men will be diagnosed with, and 29,720 men will die of, prostate cancer; Whereas the National Cancer Institute estimates that 1 in 6 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during his lifetime; Whereas family history has been shown to be a risk factor for prostate cancer for men of all races and ethnicities, and men with a family history of prostate cancer are twice as likely to be diagnosed with the disease; Whereas the USPSTF acknowledges that prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed non-skin cancer for men in the United States, with a lifetime risk for diagnosis estimated at 15.9 percent; Whereas the USPSTF acknowledges that African-American men are twice as likely to die from prostate cancer than other men in the United States; Whereas the USPSTF does not have any members who are urologists, a type of physician who specializes in diagnosing and treating patients with prostate cancer; Whereas the USPSTF does not have any members who are oncologists, a type of physician who specializes in diagnosing and treating patients with cancer; Whereas the Food and Drug Administration first approved the prostate-specific antigen (commonly referred to as PSA ) blood test for prostate cancer screening and diagnosis in 1992 and, since that time, the mortality rate due to prostate cancer has decreased by 40 percent; Whereas, in August 2008, the USPSTF recommended against prostate-specific antigen-based screening for prostate cancer for men ages 75 and older, because the USPSTF determined that there was insufficient evidence to assess the balance of benefits and harms of prostate cancer screening in men younger than age 75; Whereas, in May 2012, the USPSTF issued a new recommendation, to replace its 2008 recommendation, against prostate-specific antigen-based screening for prostate cancer for men in all age groups, because the USPSTF concluded that there is moderate-to-high certainty that the test has no net benefit, or that the harms outweigh the benefits, and suggested that this screening practice be discouraged; Whereas the May 2012 recommendation against screening applies to all men in the United States, regardless of age; Whereas the May 2012 recommendation against screening applies to all men in the United States, regardless of race, even though the USPSTF acknowledges that African-American men have a substantially higher incidence rate for prostate cancer than White men have and more than twice the mortality rate from prostate cancer that White men have; Whereas the May 2012 recommendation against screening applies to all men in the United States, even though the USPSTF acknowledges that there is convincing evidence that prostate-specific antigen-based testing helps detect many cases of asymptomatic prostate cancer; and Whereas the USPSTF acknowledges that clinical decisions regarding cancer screening involve multiple considerations and that clinicians should individualize decisionmaking to the specific patient or situation: Now, therefore, be it\n\nThat it is the sense of the Senate that— (1) the United States Preventive Services Task Force should— (A) reevaluate its recommendation against prostate-specific antigen-based screening for prostate cancer for men in all age groups; (B) seriously engage and consult with specialists, including urologists and oncologists, as it reevaluates its recommendation; and (C) identify areas for additional research and evaluation of methods of treatment of, and screening procedures for, prostate cancer; (2) prostate cancer screening decisions should be made by each individual patient and his physician, taking into account the personal risk factors of the patient, such as his overall health, age, race, family history, and life expectancy, as well as his desire for eventual treatment if he is diagnosed with prostate cancer; and (3) steps should be taken to raise awareness of, and increase public knowledge about, prostate cancer, the benefits of early detection, and the appropriateness of screening tests.",

RES. 255 IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES September 25 (legislative day, September 24), 2013 Mr. Warner (for himself, Mr. Cornyn , Mr. Menendez , and Mr. Kirk ) submitted the following resolution; which was considered and agreed to RESOLUTION Welcoming the Prime Minister of India to the United States for meetings to advance the United States-India partnership.\n\nWhereas, on August 15, 1947, India became a sovereign, democratic nation; Whereas India is the world's largest democracy, embracing fundamental liberties and freedoms, justice, and the rule of law; Whereas India is a multi-ethnic, multi-cultural, and multi-religious society that promotes tolerance, diversity, and equality; Whereas a strong relationship with India, the world’s largest democracy, is critically important to United States interests; Whereas the 2014 parliamentary elections in India are a further opportunity to strengthen the democratic institutions of the world's largest democracy; Whereas the Prime Minister of India, Dr. Manmohan Singh, has led his government in undertaking a series of reforms designed to strengthen the Indian economy and transform the bilateral economic relationship into a true strategic partnership; Whereas India is one of the world's fastest growing and dynamic economies, and a strong, economically competitive India is ultimately good for American business and American jobs; Whereas the 100,000 Indians who are studying in the United States and the 2,700,000 Americans of Indian descent living in the United States, including Nobel Laureates, artists, business leaders, journalists, and public servants, have contributed enormously to the rich social, political, and economic fabric of the United States; Whereas India serves as a pivotal and effective partner in ensuring international peace and security and is the third largest contributor of personnel to United Nations peacekeeping missions; Whereas security and defense cooperation between the United States and India continues to grow, as India remains a steadfast partner in countering the rise of extremists and currently participates in more naval exercises with the United States than any other nation; Whereas the Defense Trade Initiative is successfully realigning India and United States procurement processes and United States military sales to India have totaled almost $9,000,000,000 in the last several years; Whereas India is the largest regional contributor to reconstruction efforts in Afghanistan and will be an important partner in the transition of United States forces from Afghanistan in 2014; Whereas the market economy in India has contributed to increased economic opportunities, reduced poverty, and accompanying stability; Whereas foreign direct investment and a transparent and progressive investment climate can play a critical role in economic development in India and strengthening United States-India economic relations; Whereas the foundation of a strong economic partnership between India and the United States requires a mutual respect for innovation and an investment environment that fosters continued research and development; Whereas a Bilateral Investment Treaty would provide protections for investors and help unleash needed investment in India; Whereas furthering the bilateral dialogue on trade and investment is key to broadening and deepening the economic relationship between the United States and India, which can provide both Indian and American companies increased opportunities for exports; and Whereas a strong relationship between the people and Governments of the United States and India, based on mutual trust and respect, will enable the countries to more closely collaborate across a broad spectrum of interests, such as global peace and prosperity, counterterrorism, defense, nonproliferation, economic prosperity, energy and climate change, education, scientific research, outer space, public health, and agriculture: Now, therefore, be it\n\nThat the Senate— (1) warmly welcomes the Prime Minister of India, Dr. Manmohan Singh, on his visit to the United States, which provides a timely opportunity to reinforce the United States-India relationship and make progress on a number of fronts; (2) believes that together, the Governments of India and the United States can bring immense benefits to their people and make enormous contributions to addressing the global challenges of the 21st century; (3) looks forward to making progress on a range of issues to deepen and broaden the strategic partnership between India and the United States; (4) welcomes continued progress towards a Bilateral Investment Treaty; (5) supports progress and implementation of the landmark United States-India civil nuclear agreement; (6) acknowledges that the progress made by the Government of India on economic reforms has opened new channels for foreign direct investment, and believes further liberalization can bring increased prosperity to both countries; and (7) recognizes there is strong potential to grow the bilateral relationship and increase cooperation between the United States and India, elevating the relationship to an even stronger strategic partnership.",

RES. 258 IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES September 25 (legislative day, September 24), 2013 Mr. Cardin (for himself, Mr. Burr , and Mr. Menendez ) submitted the following resolution; which was considered and agreed to RESOLUTION Expressing support for the goals and ideals of National Infant Mortality Awareness Month, 2013.\n\nWhereas the term infant mortality refers to the death of a baby before the first birthday of the baby; Whereas the United States ranks 50th among countries in the rate of infant mortality; Whereas high rates of infant mortality are especially prevalent in African American, Native American, Alaskan Native, Latino, Asian, and Hawaiian and other Pacific Islander communities, communities with high rates of unemployment and poverty, and communities with limited access to safe housing and medical providers; Whereas premature birth and low birth weight are leading causes of infant mortality; Whereas, according to the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies, premature birth costs the United States more than $26,000,000,000 annually; Whereas infant mortality can be substantially reduced through community-based services, such as outreach, home visitation, care coordination, health education, interconceptional care, and fatherhood involvement; Whereas support for community-based programs to reduce infant mortality may result in lower future spending on medical interventions, special education, and other social services that may be needed for infants and children who are born with a low birth weight; Whereas the Department of Health and Human Services, acting through the Office of Minority Health, has implemented the A Healthy Baby Begins With You campaign; Whereas the Maternal and Child Health Bureau of the Health Resources and Services Administration has provided national leadership on the issue of infant mortality; Whereas the Advisory Committee on Infant Mortality provides advice and recommendations to the Secretary of Health and Human Services on reducing infant mortality and improving the health status of infants and pregnant women; Whereas the Advisory Committee on Infant Mortality provides advice and recommendations to the Secretary of Health and Human Services with respect to developing a national strategy for reducing infant mortality; Whereas public awareness and education campaigns on infant mortality are held during the month of September each year; and Whereas September 2013 has been designated as National Infant Mortality Awareness Month : Now, therefore, be it\n\nThat the Senate— (1) supports— (A) the goals and ideals of National Infant Mortality Awareness Month, 2013; (B) efforts to educate people in the United States about infant mortality and the factors that contribute to infant mortality; and (C) efforts to reduce infant deaths, low birth weight, pre-term births, and disparities in perinatal outcomes; (2) recognizes the critical importance of including efforts to reduce infant mortality and the factors that contribute to infant mortality as part of prevention and wellness strategies; and (3) calls on the people of the United States to observe National Infant Mortality Awareness Month with appropriate programs and activities.",

RES. 259 IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES September 25 (legislative day, September 24), 2013 Ms. Collins (for herself, Mrs. Murray , and Mr. Carper ) submitted the following resolution; which was considered and agreed to RESOLUTION Designating September 2013 as Campus Fire Safety Month .\n\nWhereas recent campus-related fires at colleges in Massachusetts, Ohio, Minnesota, Wisconsin, New York, Kansas, and other States have tragically cut short the lives of several young people; Whereas, since January 2000, at least 162 people, including students, parents, and children, have died in campus-related fires; Whereas approximately 86 percent of those deaths occurred in off-campus residences; Whereas a majority of college students in the United States live in an off-campus residence; Whereas many fatal fires have occurred in a building in which the occupants had compromised or disabled the fire safety system; Whereas automatic fire alarm systems provide the early warning of a fire that is necessary for occupants of a building and the fire department to take appropriate action; Whereas automatic fire sprinkler systems are a highly effective method of controlling or extinguishing a fire in the early stages, thus protecting the lives of building occupants; Whereas many college students live in an off-campus residence, fraternity or sorority housing, or a residence hall that is not adequately protected by an automatic fire sprinkler system and an automatic fire alarm system; Whereas fire safety education is an effective method of reducing the occurrence of fires and the resulting loss of life and property damage; Whereas college students do not routinely receive effective fire safety education while in college; Whereas educating young people in the United States about the importance of fire safety is vital to help ensure that young people engage in fire-safe behavior during college and after college; and Whereas developing a generation of adults who practice fire safety may significantly reduce future loss of life from fires: Now, therefore, be it\n\nThat the Senate— (1) designates September 2013 as Campus Fire Safety Month ; and (2) encourages administrators of institutions of higher education and municipalities across the United States— (A) to provide educational programs about fire safety to all college students in September and throughout the school year; (B) to evaluate the level of fire safety being provided in both on-campus and off-campus student housing; and (C) to ensure fire-safe living environments through fire safety education, the installation of fire suppression and detection systems, and the development and enforcement of applicable codes relating to fire safety.",

<p> Expresses the sense of the Senate that: (1) it shall be U.S. policy to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapon; (2) Iran does not have an inherent right to enrichment and reprocessing technologies under the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons; (3) relief from U.S. sanctions should only be provided once Iran has abandoned its nuclear weapons program, including any enrichment or reprocessing capability, and has provided complete transparency to the International Atomic Energy Agency; and (4) Congress should move to pass a new round of additional sanctions until Iran has taken such actions.</p>

RES. 269 IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES October 16, 2013 Mr. Rubio (for himself and Mr. Risch ) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations RESOLUTION Expressing the sense of the Senate on United States policy regarding possession of enrichment and reprocessing capabilities by the Islamic Republic of Iran.\n\nWhereas diplomats from the Islamic Republic of Iran, the European Union, the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, China, and Russia continue to discuss the Government of Iran’s illicit nuclear weapons program; Whereas President of Iran Hasan Rouhani has in the past bragged about his success in buying time for Iran to make nuclear advances; Whereas Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei, who retains control over Iran’s nuclear program, recently claimed that Iran did not desire nuclear weapons but said that if Iran intended to possess nuclear weapons, no power could stop us ; Whereas the Government of Iran continues to expand Iran’s nuclear and missile programs in violation of multiple United Nations Security Council resolutions; Whereas the Government of Iran has a decades-long track record of cheating on and violating commitments regarding its nuclear program and has used more than 10 years of diplomatic negotiations to buy more time to expand its nuclear weapons program; Whereas Iran remains the world’s number one exporter of terrorism and as recently as 2011 was plotting to assassinate a foreign official on United States soil; Whereas, over the last three decades, the Government of Iran and its terrorist proxies have been responsible for the deaths of Americans; Whereas the Government of Iran and its terrorist proxies continue to provide military and financial support to the regime of Bashar al-Assad in Syria, aiding his regime’s mass killing of civilians; Whereas the Government of Iran continues to sow instability in its region and to threaten its neighbors, including United States allies such as Israel; Whereas the Government of Iran denies its people their fundamental freedoms, including freedom of the press, freedom of assembly, freedom of religion, and freedom of conscience; Whereas international and United States sanctions imposed on Iran have assisted in bringing Iran to the negotiating table; Whereas other countries, such as North Korea, have used diplomatic talks regarding their nuclear programs to allow time for the development of nuclear weapons; Whereas, based on the Government of Iran’s stockpile of low enriched uranium and its plan to continue installing advanced centrifuges, the Government of Iran could agree to suspend all enrichment above 3.5 percent and still be in a position to produce weapons-grade uranium without detection by the middle of next year; Whereas, if the Government of Iran starts up its heavy water reactor in Arak, it could establish an alternate pathway to a nuclear weapon, producing enough plutonium each year for one or two nuclear weapons; Whereas 19 other nations currently access peaceful nuclear energy without any enrichment or reprocessing activities on their soil; and Whereas the Government of Iran could likewise achieve access to peaceful nuclear energy without enrichment or reprocessing activities on its own soil: Now, therefore, be it\n\nThat it is the sense of the Senate that— (1) it shall be the policy of the United States that the Government of Iran will not be allowed to develop a nuclear weapon and that all instruments of United States power and influence remain on the table to prevent this outcome; (2) the Government of Iran does not have an absolute or inherent right to enrichment and reprocessing technologies under the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, done at Washington, London, and Moscow July 1, 1968, and entered into force March 5, 1970 (commonly known as the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty ); (3) relief of sanctions related to Iran’s nuclear program imposed upon Iran by the United States should only be provided once Iran has completely abandoned its nuclear weapons program, including any enrichment or reprocessing capability, and has provided complete transparency to the International Atomic Energy Agency regarding its work on weaponization of a nuclear device; and (4) until the Government of Iran has taken the actions set forth in paragraph (3), Congress should move to pass a new round of additional sanctions without delay.",

RES. 270 IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES October 16, 2013 Mr. Kirk (for himself, Mr. Durbin , Mr. Cochran , Mr. Wicker , Mr. Rubio , Mr. Boozman , Mrs. Shaheen , Mr. Begich , Mr. Isakson , and Mr. Murphy ) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations RESOLUTION Supporting the goals and ideals of World Polio Day and commending the international community and others for their efforts to prevent and eradicate polio.\n\nWhereas October 24th of each year is recognized internationally as World Polio Day; Whereas polio is a highly infectious disease that primarily affects children and for which there is no known cure; Whereas polio can leave survivors permanently disabled from muscle paralysis of the limbs and occasionally leads to a particularly difficult death through paralysis of respiratory muscles; Whereas polio was once one of the most dreaded diseases in the United States, killing thousands of people annually in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and leaving thousands more with permanent disabilities, including the 32nd President of the United States, Franklin Delano Roosevelt; Whereas severe polio outbreaks in the 1940s and 1950s caused panic in the United States, as parents kept children indoors, public health officials quarantined infected individuals, and the Federal Government restricted commerce and travel; Whereas 1952 was the peak of the polio epidemic in the United States, with more than 57,000 people affected, 21,000 of whom were paralyzed and 3,000 of whom died; Whereas safe and effective polio vaccines, including the inactivated polio vaccine (commonly known as “IPV”), developed in 1952 by Jonas Salk, and the oral polio vaccine (commonly known as “OPV”), developed in 1957 by Albert Sabin, rendered polio preventable and contributed to the rapid decline of the incidence of polio in the United States; Whereas, although the United States has been free from polio since 1979, this preventable disease still needlessly lays victim to children and adults in several countries where challenges, such as active conflict and lack of infrastructure, impede access to vaccines; Whereas the Federal Government is the leading public sector donor to the Global Polio Eradication Initiative and provides technical and operational leadership to this global effort through the work of the Centers for Disease Control and the United States Agency for International Development; Whereas the eradication of polio is the highest priority of Rotary International, a global association founded in 1905 in Chicago, Illinois, that is now headquartered in Evanston, Illinois, and has more than 1,200,000 members in more than 170 countries; Whereas Rotary International and its members (commonly known as “Rotarians”) have contributed more than $1,000,000,000 to, and volunteered countless hours in, the global fight against polio; Whereas Rotary International, the World Health Organization, the United States Government, the United Nations Children’s Fund (commonly known as “UNICEF”), the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and the United Nations Foundation have joined together with national governments to successfully reduce cases of polio by more than 99 percent since 1988, from more than 350,000 reported cases in 1988 to 223 reported cases in 2012; Whereas polio was recently eliminated in India and is now endemic only in Nigeria, Pakistan, and Afghanistan; Whereas terrorist and militant groups continue to target and murder health care workers who seek to save the lives of children; Whereas the sanctity and neutrality of health care workers must be respected, as these workers deliver the most basic of life-saving interventions to children and communities; Whereas the recent polio outbreak in the Horn of Africa, comprising Somalia, Ethiopia, and Kenya, continues to result in new cases of the disease, exacerbating the protracted humanitarian crisis in the region and highlighting the urgent need to finally eradicate polio before progress is lost; Whereas countries around the world are placing an unprecedented emphasis on polio eradication, including by implementing Emergency Action Plans to boost vaccination coverage in Nigeria, Pakistan, and Afghanistan; Whereas the Global Polio Eradication Initiative has developed the Polio Eradication and Endgame Strategic Plan 2013–2018 (referred to in this preamble as the Endgame Strategy ) to capitalize on the opportunity to eradicate all polio disease; Whereas the Endgame Strategy also outlines a legacy planning process to ensure that lessons learned in the effort to eradicate polio, as well as the assets and infrastructure built in support of that effort, are transitioned to benefit other development goals and global health priorities, including the continued delivery of health services to the most vulnerable children in the world; Whereas the global effort to eradicate polio is the largest internationally coordinated public health effort in history, with a network of over 20,000,000 volunteers worldwide; and Whereas the eradication of polio is imminently achievable and will be a victory shared by all of humanity: Now, therefore, be it\n\nThat the Senate— (1) supports the goals and ideals of World Polio Day; (2) commends the international community and others for their efforts in vaccinating children around the world against polio and for the tremendous strides made toward eradicating the disease; (3) encourages and supports the international community of governments and nongovernmental organizations in remaining committed to the eradication of polio; (4) condemns the deplorable actions of terrorist and militant groups that murder innocent health care workers who are striving to save the lives of children around the world; (5) urges the international community of governments to strengthen the support and security protection of health care workers who risk their lives to provide polio vaccinations; and (6) encourages continued commitment and funding by the United States Government and international donors to the global effort to rid the world of polio.",

RES. 270 IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES October 16, 2013 Mr. Kirk (for himself, Mr. Durbin , Mr. Cochran , Mr. Wicker , Mr. Rubio , Mr. Boozman , Mrs. Shaheen , Mr. Begich , Mr. Isakson , Mr. Murphy , Mr. Moran , Mrs. Boxer , Ms. Ayotte , Mr. Coons , and Ms. Collins ) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations February 4, 2014 Reported by Mr. Menendez , without amendment RESOLUTION Supporting the goals and ideals of World Polio Day and commending the international community and others for their efforts to prevent and eradicate polio.\n\nWhereas October 24th of each year is recognized internationally as World Polio Day; Whereas polio is a highly infectious disease that primarily affects children and for which there is no known cure; Whereas polio can leave survivors permanently disabled from muscle paralysis of the limbs and occasionally leads to a particularly difficult death through paralysis of respiratory muscles; Whereas polio was once one of the most dreaded diseases in the United States, killing thousands of people annually in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and leaving thousands more with permanent disabilities, including the 32nd President of the United States, Franklin Delano Roosevelt; Whereas severe polio outbreaks in the 1940s and 1950s caused panic in the United States, as parents kept children indoors, public health officials quarantined infected individuals, and the Federal Government restricted commerce and travel; Whereas 1952 was the peak of the polio epidemic in the United States, with more than 57,000 people affected, 21,000 of whom were paralyzed and 3,000 of whom died; Whereas safe and effective polio vaccines, including the inactivated polio vaccine (commonly known as “IPV”), developed in 1952 by Jonas Salk, and the oral polio vaccine (commonly known as “OPV”), developed in 1957 by Albert Sabin, rendered polio preventable and contributed to the rapid decline of the incidence of polio in the United States; Whereas, although the United States has been free from polio since 1979, this preventable disease still needlessly lays victim to children and adults in several countries where challenges, such as active conflict and lack of infrastructure, impede access to vaccines; Whereas the Federal Government is the leading public sector donor to the Global Polio Eradication Initiative and provides technical and operational leadership to this global effort through the work of the Centers for Disease Control and the United States Agency for International Development; Whereas the eradication of polio is the highest priority of Rotary International, a global association founded in 1905 in Chicago, Illinois, that is now headquartered in Evanston, Illinois, and has more than 1,200,000 members in more than 170 countries; Whereas Rotary International and its members (commonly known as “Rotarians”) have contributed more than $1,000,000,000 to, and volunteered countless hours in, the global fight against polio; Whereas Rotary International, the World Health Organization, the United States Government, the United Nations Children’s Fund (commonly known as “UNICEF”), the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and the United Nations Foundation have joined together with national governments to successfully reduce cases of polio by more than 99 percent since 1988, from more than 350,000 reported cases in 1988 to 223 reported cases in 2012; Whereas polio was recently eliminated in India and is now endemic only in Nigeria, Pakistan, and Afghanistan; Whereas terrorist and militant groups continue to target and murder health care workers who seek to save the lives of children; Whereas the sanctity and neutrality of health care workers must be respected, as these workers deliver the most basic of life-saving interventions to children and communities; Whereas the recent polio outbreak in the Horn of Africa, comprising Somalia, Ethiopia, and Kenya, continues to result in new cases of the disease, exacerbating the protracted humanitarian crisis in the region and highlighting the urgent need to finally eradicate polio before progress is lost; Whereas countries around the world are placing an unprecedented emphasis on polio eradication, including by implementing Emergency Action Plans to boost vaccination coverage in Nigeria, Pakistan, and Afghanistan; Whereas the Global Polio Eradication Initiative has developed the Polio Eradication and Endgame Strategic Plan 2013–2018 (referred to in this preamble as the Endgame Strategy ) to capitalize on the opportunity to eradicate all polio disease; Whereas the Endgame Strategy also outlines a legacy planning process to ensure that lessons learned in the effort to eradicate polio, as well as the assets and infrastructure built in support of that effort, are transitioned to benefit other development goals and global health priorities, including the continued delivery of health services to the most vulnerable children in the world; Whereas the global effort to eradicate polio is the largest internationally coordinated public health effort in history, with a network of over 20,000,000 volunteers worldwide; and Whereas the eradication of polio is imminently achievable and will be a victory shared by all of humanity: Now, therefore, be it\n\nThat the Senate— (1) supports the goals and ideals of World Polio Day; (2) commends the international community and others for their efforts in vaccinating children around the world against polio and for the tremendous strides made toward eradicating the disease; (3) encourages and supports the international community of governments and nongovernmental organizations in remaining committed to the eradication of polio; (4) condemns the deplorable actions of terrorist and militant groups that murder innocent health care workers who are striving to save the lives of children around the world; (5) urges the international community of governments to strengthen the support and security protection of health care workers who risk their lives to provide polio vaccinations; and (6) encourages continued commitment and funding by the United States Government and international donors to the global effort to rid the world of polio.\n\nFebruary 4, 2014 Reported without amendment",

Subedi noted that it is critical for the new National Assembly to be represented by the two key parties, for the National Assembly to be truly representative of the whole of the Cambodian people and for it to be concluded that the right to vote was effectively exercised on 28 July ; Whereas in a September 23, 2013, statement, the United States Embassy in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, called for a transparent review of irregularities in the July 28 national elections which would help efforts to assess and address flaws in the electoral process and give the Cambodian people greater confidence in the electoral system ; Whereas the CNRP boycott calls into question the legitimacy of the Cambodian National Assembly and government; and Whereas the policy of the Administration of a strategic rebalance toward the Asia Pacific Region should include support for democracy, human rights, and justice in Cambodia: Now, therefore, be it\n\nThat it is the sense of the Senate that the United States should suspend military assistance for Cambodia until— (1) an independent and credible investigation occurs into the July 28, 2013, parliamentary elections in Cambodia, and any recommendations arising out of such investigation are fully implemented; and (2) the Government of Cambodia, in consultation with civil society and political parties in Cambodia, is implementing election reforms to prevent incidents of fraud and abuse in subsequent national and local elections in Cambodia.",

and\n </text>\n </whereas>\n <whereas>\n <text>\n Whereas the month of October is an appropriate month to\n\t\t\t designate as National Work and Family Month: Now, therefore, be it\n </text>\n </whereas>\n </preamble>\n <resolution-body>\n <section display-inline=\"yes-display-inline\" id=\"S1\" section-type=\"undesignated-section\">\n <enum/>\n <text>\n That the Senate—\n </text>\n <paragraph id=\"idC86C0250E8524860B2C5967971999E08\">\n <enum>\n (1)\n </enum>\n <text>\n designates\n\t\t\t October 2013 as\n <term>\n National Work and Family Month\n </term>\n ;\n </text>\n </paragraph>\n <paragraph id=\"idEA2A0CAA18AD42C59FCAAB2059B7BAC9\">\n <enum>\n (2)\n </enum>\n <text>\n recognizes the\n\t\t\t importance of work schedules that allow employees to spend time with their\n\t\t\t families to job productivity and healthy families;\n </text>\n </paragraph>\n <paragraph id=\"id8BC0CCCB6AF5489784DA02E0CAF88EA2\">\n <enum>\n (3)\n </enum>\n <text>\n urges public\n\t\t\t officials, employers, employees, and the general public to work together to\n\t\t\t achieve more balance between work and family;

RES. 277 IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES October 30, 2013 Mr. Warner (for himself, Mr. Cornyn , Mr. Menendez , and Mr. Coons ) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary RESOLUTION Recognizing the religious and historical significance of the festival of Diwali.\n\nWhereas Diwali is a festival of great significance and celebrated annually by Hindus, Sikhs, and Jains throughout India, the United States, and the world; Whereas Diwali is a festival of lights that marks the beginning of the Hindu new year, during which celebrants light and place small lamps around the home and pray for health, knowledge, peace, wealth, and prosperity in the new year; Whereas Diwali will be celebrated throughout the world for five days and is an opportunity to celebrate the faith of all people and the universal right to religious expression and spiritual freedom; Whereas the lights symbolize the light of knowledge within the individual that overwhelms the darkness of ignorance, empowering each celebrant to do good deeds and show compassion to others; Whereas Diwali falls on the last day of the last month in the lunar calendar and is celebrated as a day of thanksgiving for the homecoming of the Lord Rama and worship of Lord Ganesha, the remover of obstacles and bestower of blessings, at the beginning of the new year for many Hindus; Whereas, for Sikhs, Diwali is celebrated as Bandhi Chhor Diwas (The Celebration of Freedom), in honor of the release from imprisonment of the sixth guru, Guru Hargobind; and Whereas, for Jains, Diwali marks the anniversary of the attainment of moksha, or liberation, by Mahavira, the last of the Tirthankaras (the great teachers of Jain dharma), at the end of his life in 527 B.C.: Now, therefore, be it\n\nThat the Senate— (1) recognizes the religious and historical significance of the festival of Diwali, the festival of lights, and expresses its respect for the people of India, Indian Americans, and members of the Indian diaspora around the world on this significant occasion; and (2) supports a strong relationship between the people and governments of the United States and India, based on mutual trust and respect that will enable the countries to more closely collaborate across a broad spectrum of interests, such as global peace and prosperity.",
