                       Desert Locust Control Act

                               H.R. 1079

       Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of 
     the United States of America in Congress assembled,

     SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

       This Act may be cited as the ``Desert Locust Control Act''.

     SEC. 2. STATEMENT OF POLICY.

       It is the policy of the United States to prioritize efforts 
     to control the ongoing desert locust outbreak in East Africa 
     and other affected regions, mitigate the impacts on food 
     security, economic productivity, and political stability, 
     improve interagency coordination to prevent future outbreaks, 
     and promote resilience in affected countries.

     SEC. 3. FINDINGS.

       Congress finds the following:
       (1) The United States Agency for International Development 
     reports that countries in East Africa are currently suffering 
     the worst desert locust outbreak in decades, which will 
     devour crops and pasture and destroy local livelihoods across 
     the region.
       (2) As of December 2020, the Food and Agriculture 
     Organization reported that there were 42 million people 
     experiencing acute food insecurity in East Africa, which 
     numbers are projected to increase if the desert locust 
     outbreak is not controlled.
       (3) The desert locust outbreak in East Africa, particularly 
     in Kenya, Ethiopia, and Somalia, is negatively impacting food 
     security, local livelihoods and economic productivity, and 
     may threaten political stability in the region.
       (4) Proactive investments now to control the desert locust 
     outbreak could reduce the need for a much larger United 
     States humanitarian response effort later, as well as support 
     economic and political stability and build resilience in 
     affected countries.
       (5) In order to optimize the United States response to the 
     desert locust outbreak, an interagency working group should 
     be established to develop and implement a comprehensive, 
     strategic plan to control the desert locust outbreak in East 
     Africa and other affected regions, mitigate impacts on food 
     security, economic productivity, and political stability and 
     prevent future outbreaks.

     interagency working group to coordinate the United States

                  Securing America From Epidemics Act

                               H.R. 2118

       Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of 
     the United States of America in Congress assembled,

     SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

       This Act may be cited as the ``Securing America From 
     Epidemics Act''.

     SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

       Congress finds the following:
       (1) Due to increasing population and population density, 
     human mobility, and ecological change, emerging infectious 
     diseases pose a real and growing threat to global health 
     security.
       (2) While vaccines can be the most effective tools to 
     protect against infectious disease, the absence of vaccines 
     for a new or emerging infectious disease with epidemic 
     potential is a major health security threat globally, posing 
     catastrophic potential human and economic costs.
       (3) The COVID-19 pandemic has infected more than 
     119,960,700 individuals and has killed at least 2,656,822 
     people worldwide, and it is likely that unreported cases and 
     deaths are significant.
       (4) Even regional outbreaks can have enormous human costs 
     and substantially disrupt the global economy and cripple 
     regional economies. The 2014 Ebola outbreak in West Africa 
     killed more than 11,000 and cost $2,800,000,000 in losses in 
     the affected countries alone.
       (5) While the need for vaccines to address emerging 
     epidemic threats is acute, markets to drive the necessary 
     development of vaccines to address them--a complex and 
     expensive undertaking--are very often critically absent. Also 
     absent are mechanisms to ensure access to those vaccines by 
     those who need them when they need them.
       (6) To address this global vulnerability and the deficit of 
     political commitment, institutional capacity, and funding, in 
     2017, several countries and private partners launched the 
     Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI). 
     CEPI's mission is to stimulate, finance, and coordinate 
     development of vaccines for high-priority, epidemic-potential 
     threats in cases where traditional markets do not exist or 
     cannot create sufficient demand.
       (7) Through funding of partnerships, CEPI seeks to bring 
     priority vaccines candidates through the end of phase II 
     clinical trials, as well as support vaccine platforms that 
     can be rapidly deployed against emerging pathogens.
       (8) CEPI supported the manufacturing of the United States-
     developed Moderna COVID-19 vaccine during its Phase 1 
     clinical trial, and CEPI has initiated at least 12 
     partnerships to develop vaccines against COVID-19.
       (9) CEPI is co-leading COVAX, the vaccines pillar of the 
     ACT-Accelerator, which is a global collaboration to quickly 
     produce and equitably distribute safe and effective vaccines 
     and therapeutics for COVID-19.
       (10) Support for and participation in CEPI is an important 
     part of the United States own health security and biodefense 
     and is in the national interest, complementing the work of 
     many Federal agencies and providing significant value through 
     global partnership and burden-sharing.

               Reaffirming Commitment to Media Diversity

                              H. Res. 277

       Whereas the principle that an informed and engaged 
     electorate is critical to a vibrant democracy is deeply 
     rooted in our laws of free speech and underpins the virtues 
     on which we established our Constitution, ``in Order to form 
     a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic 
     Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the 
     general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to 
     ourselves and our Posterity . . .'';
       Whereas having independent, diverse, and local media that 
     provide exposure to a broad range of viewpoints and the 
     ability to contribute to the political debate is central to 
     sustaining that informed engagement;
       Whereas it is in the public interest to encourage source, 
     content, and audience diversity on our Nation's shared 
     telecommunications and media platforms;
       Whereas the survival of small, independent, and diverse 
     media outlets that serve diverse audiences and local media 
     markets is essential to preserving local culture and building 
     understanding on important community issues that impact the 
     daily lives of residents;
       Whereas research by the American Society of News Editors, 
     the Radio Television Digital News Association, the Pew 
     Research Center, and others has documented the continued 
     challenges of increasing diversity among all types of media 
     entities;
       Whereas with increasing media experience and 
     sophistication, it is even more important to have minority 
     participation in local media to ensure a diverse range of 
     information sources are available and different ideas and 
     viewpoints are expressed to strengthen social cohesion among 
     different communities; and
       Whereas the constriction in small, independent, and diverse 
     media outlets and limited participation of diverse 
     populations in media ownership and decision making are 
     combining to negatively impact our goal of increasing local 
     civic engagement and civic knowledge through increased voter 
     participation, membership in civic groups, and knowledge of 
     local political and civil information: Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
       (1) reaffirms its commitment to diversity as a core tenet 
     of the public interest standard in media policy; and
       (2) pledges to work with media entities and diverse 
     stakeholders to develop common ground solutions to eliminate 
     barriers to media diversity.


        Encouraging Reunions of Divided Korean-American Families

                              H. Res. 294

       Whereas the Korean Peninsula, with the Republic of Korea 
     (in this resolution referred to as ``South Korea'') in the 
     South and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (in this 
     resolution referred to as ``North Korea'') in the North, 
     remains divided following the signing of the Korean War 
     Armistice Agreement on July 27, 1953;
       Whereas the division of the Korean Peninsula separated more 
     than 10,000,000 Korean family members, including some who are 
     now citizens of the United States;
       Whereas there have been 21 rounds of family reunions 
     between South Koreans and North Koreans along the border 
     since 2000;
       Whereas Congress signaled its support for family reunions 
     between United States citizens and their relatives in North 
     Korea in section 1265 of the National Defense Authorization 
     Act for Fiscal Year 2008 (Public Law 110-181), signed into 
     law by President George W. Bush on January 28, 2008;
       Whereas most of the population of divided family members in 
     the United States, initially estimated at 100,000 in 2001, 
     has significantly dwindled as many of the individuals have 
     passed away;
       Whereas the summit between North Korea and South Korea on 
     April 27, 2018, has prioritized family reunions;
       Whereas the United States and North Korea have engaged in 
     talks during 2 historic summits in June 2018 in Singapore and 
     February 2019 in Hanoi; and
       Whereas many Korean Americans are waiting for a chance to 
     meet their relatives in North Korea for the first time in 
     more than 60 years: Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
       (1) calls on the United States and North Korea to begin the 
     process of reuniting Korean-American divided family members 
     with their immediate relatives through ways such as--
       (A) identifying divided families in the United States and 
     North Korea who are willing and able to participate in a 
     pilot program for family reunions;
       (B) finding matches for members of such families through 
     organizations such as the Red Cross; and
       (C) working with the Government of South Korea to include 
     American citizens in inter-Korean video reunions;
       (2) reaffirms the institution of family as inalienable and, 
     accordingly, urges the restoration of contact between divided 
     families physically, literarily, or virtually; and
       (3) calls on the United States and North Korea to pursue 
     reunions as a humanitarian priority of immediate concern.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to section 7 of House Resolution 
535, the ordering of the yeas and nays on postponed motions to suspend
