                        PETITIONS AND MEMORIALS

  The following petitions and memorials were laid before the Senate and 
were referred or ordered to lie on the table as indicated:

       POM-125. A resolution adopted by the Senate of the State of 
     New Jersey urging the President of the United States and the 
     United States Congress to enact the ``CARE for Kids Act of 
     2019''; to the Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and 
     Forestry.

                        Senate Resolution No. 84

       Whereas, School meals are critical to children's health and 
     well-being and ensure that children have the nutrition they 
     need to effectively learn throughout the school day; and
       Whereas, Research shows that receiving free school meals 
     reduces food insecurity, obesity rates, and poor health among 
     children; and
       Whereas, The federal School Breakfast Program (SBP) and the 
     federal National

[[Page S1978]]

     School Lunch Program (NSLP) provide nutritionally balanced, 
     free school meals to millions of American children each 
     school day; and
       Whereas, Under the SBP and NSLP, children may be determined 
     categorically eligible for free school meals through 
     participation in certain federal assistance programs, such as 
     the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or based on 
     the child's status as a homeless, migrant, runaway, or foster 
     child; and
       Whereas, Under the SBP and NSLP, children from families 
     with incomes at or below 130 percent of the federal poverty 
     level are eligible for free school meals; and
       Whereas, Many children are excluded from categorical 
     eligibility to receive free school meals because they have 
     moved out of the foster care system and are in the care of 
     grandparents or other relatives who have adopted them or have 
     become their legal guardians; and
       Whereas, More than 7.8 million children under the age of 18 
     live in homes where the householders are grandparents or 
     relatives other than their parents; and
       Whereas, The federal ``Caregivers Access and Responsible 
     Expansion (CARE) for Kids Act of 2019,'' introduced by United 
     States Senator Bob Casey (D-PA), provides automatic 
     eligibility for free school meals to children being raised by 
     a relative who receives adoption or guardianship assistance; 
     to children being raised by grandparents or other relatives 
     due to placement by a state or tribal welfare agency; and to 
     children living in ``grandfamily'' housing or receiving 
     housing assistance under the ``Native American Housing and 
     Self-Determination Act of 1996''; and
       Whereas, It is altogether fitting and proper to urge the 
     President and Congress of the United States to enact the 
     ``CARE for Kids Act of 2019,'' to automatically provide free 
     school meals to American children who are being raised by 
     grandparents or relatives other than their parents; now, 
     therefore, who are being raised by grandparents or relatives 
     other than their parents; now, therefore, Be It
       Resolved by the Senate of the State of New Jersey:
       1. This resolution urges the President and Congress of the 
     United States to enact the ``CARE for Kids Act of 2019,'' to 
     provide automatic eligibility for free school meals to 
     American children who are being raised by grandparents or 
     relatives other than their parents.
       2. Copies of this resolution, as filed with the Secretary 
     of State, shall be transmitted by the Secretary of the Senate 
     to the President of the United States, Majority and Minority 
     Leaders of the United States Senate, to the Speaker and 
     Minority Leader of the United States House of 
     Representatives, and to each member of the United States 
     Congress elected from this State.
                                  ____

       POM-126. A joint resolution adopted by the Legislature of 
     the State of Colorado memorializing its support for Colorado 
     to be the permanent location for the United States Space 
     Command, and, in connection therewith, urging the Department 
     of Defense to keep the United States Space Command in 
     Colorado; to the Committee on Armed Services.

                   House Joint Resolution No. 22-1012

       Whereas, Our nation and the world have significantly 
     benefitted from technological and scientific advances 
     resulting from space exploration and aerospace activities, 
     and Colorado is paving the way for new discoveries in the 
     frontiers of space by having a rich history in aerospace 
     development and being at the forefront of space travel, 
     exploration, and aerospace research; and
       Whereas, Colorado is the acting provisional Space Command 
     Base and it will remain the provisional base until 2023. 
     Colorado is also the center for United States military space 
     operations and strategy. According to the Colorado Space 
     Coalition (CSC), the state's military commands are the 
     primary customers for space-based research, development, 
     acquisitions, and operations, representing nearly 90 percent 
     of space-related expenditure by the military. Moving the 
     United States Space Command (USSP ACECOM) to Huntsville, 
     Alabama, will be incredibly disruptive to the National 
     Defense Strategy. In addition, it will cause a major upheaval 
     in existing infrastructure and jobs in the state, which will 
     result in higher costs and less efficient outcomes for the 
     United States military; and
       Whereas, Colorado is strategically located at the center of 
     our national and space defense. We are the home to five key 
     strategic military commands: North American Aerospace Defense 
     Command (NORAD), United States Northern Command (USNORTHCOM), 
     United States Strategic Command's Joint Functional Component 
     Command for Space (JFCC Space) Missile Warning Center, the 
     United States Air Force Space Command, and the United States 
     Army Space and Missile Defense Command/Army Forces Strategic 
     Command; and five military installations, including United 
     States Space Force bases Buckley, Peterson, and Schriever, 
     United States Space Force Station Cheyenne Mountain, as well 
     as Fort Carson Army Base; and
       Whereas, The Space Delta Four at Buckley Space Force Base 
     provides operational command and control of three 
     constellations to space-based infrared missile warning 
     systems, has been defending America continuously since 1970, 
     and is a critical part of global defense and national 
     security; and
       Whereas, Colorado leads the charge in bringing current and 
     future global positioning system (GPS) assets to life, a 
     service provided free to the world by Air Force Space Command 
     in Colorado Springs. From the operation of GPS satellites by 
     Schriever Space Force Base to GPS III, the most powerful GPS 
     satellite to date--being designed and built by Lockheed 
     Martin and launched by United Launch Alliance with Raytheon 
     developing the command and control capabilities, and with 
     companies such as Boeing, Harris Corporation, Braxton 
     Technologies, and Infinity Systems Engineering also 
     supporting GPS development and operations from locations in 
     Colorado, GPS technologies enable an integral part of our 
     global economy to have an incalculable impact that has 
     improved the everyday lives of billions of people around the 
     world; and
       Whereas, Colorado's aerospace industry is home to a broad 
     range of companies that create products and systems for 
     commercial, military, and civil space applications, such as 
     spacecraft, launch vehicles, satellites, command and control 
     software, sensors, and navigation operations. These companies 
     include Ball Aerospace, Boeing, DigitalGlobe, Harris 
     Corporation, Lockheed Martin Space Systems, Northrop Grumman, 
     Raytheon, Sierra Nevada Corporation, Teledyne Brown 
     Engineering, and United Launch Alliance, which make up a 
     large portion of the aerospace sector; and
       Whereas, Colorado has an existing educated workforce, 
     ranked second in the nation with residents with a bachelor's 
     degree or higher, and a pipeline of higher education 
     institutions to sustain future growth. We are home to the 
     United States Air Force Academy and many colleges and 
     universities, including the University of Colorado Boulder 
     and the University of Colorado Colorado Springs, Colorado 
     School of Mines, Colorado State University, Metropolitan 
     State University of Denver, University of Denver, Colorado 
     Mesa University, and Fort Lewis College. Altogether, they 
     provide access to world-class aerospace-related degrees and 
     offer aerospace companies one of the country's most educated 
     workforces; and
       Whereas, Colorado is home to some amazing research 
     institutions. These institutions include the prestigious 
     Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP) at the 
     University of Colorado Boulder. It began in 1948, a decade 
     before NASA, and is the world's only research institute to 
     have sent instruments to all eight planets and to Pluto, 
     combining all aspects of space exploration through science, 
     engineering, mission operations, and scientific data 
     analysis; and
       Whereas, Colorado is also home to the National Oceanic and 
     Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Space Weather Prediction 
     Center, a world-leading center of predictions for the solar 
     and near-Earth space environment and the nation's official 
     source of watches, warnings, and alerts ofincoming solar 
     storms, using satellite observations to protect and save 
     lives and property; and
       Whereas, Various organizations are key to Colorado's 
     prominence in aerospace, such as the Colorado Space 
     Coalition, a group of industry stakeholders working to make 
     Colorado a center of excellence for aerospace; the Colorado 
     Space Business Roundtable, working to bring together 
     aerospace stakeholders from the industry, government, and 
     academia for roundtable discussions and business development 
     and to encourage grassroots citizen participation in 
     aerospace issues; the Colorado chapter of Citizens for Space 
     Exploration, whose mission is to promote better understanding 
     of aerospace and its importance in our economy and daily 
     lives, as well as to promote the importance of human space 
     exploration; Manufacturer's Edge, a statewide manufacturing 
     assistance center that encourages the strength and 
     competitiveness of Colorado manufacturers by providing on-
     site technical assistance through coaching, training, and 
     consulting, by providing collaboration-focused industry 
     programs, and by leveraging government, university, and 
     economic development partnerships; and the Space Foundation, 
     founded in 1983, with its world headquarters in Colorado 
     Springs, Colorado, which holds an annual Space Symposium, 
     bringing together civil, commercial, and national security 
     space leaders from around the world to discuss, address, and 
     plan for the future of space; and
       Whereas, For the aforementioned reasons, it is in the best 
     interests of the American taxpayer to keep USSP/ACECOM in the 
     state because Colorado is already fulfilling the mission of 
     the USSP/ACECOM; because Colorado Springs has in place the 
     community infrastructure capacity and community support to 
     champion an expanding mission; because the move will cost the 
     United States billions of dollars to relocate the facility; 
     and because the move would severely disrupt the Colorado 
     aerospace industry, which has grown to support the mission; 
     Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved by the House of Representatives of the Seventy-
     third General Assembly of the State of Colorado, the Senate 
     concurring herein:
       That we, the members of the General Assembly:
       (1) Recognizing Colorado's unique blend of military 
     installations and major commands, private aerospace 
     companies, academic and research institutions, and government 
     entities, and the valuable synergies this ecosystem produces, 
     strongly urge the Department of Defense and the Biden-Harris 
     administration to reevaluate the merits of this irresponsible 
     decision and should rightly conclude that it is the correct 
     decision to keep

[[Page S1979]]

     the existing United States Space Command in Colorado;
       (2) Furthermore, strongly urge the Department of Defense 
     and the presidential administration to permanently base USSP 
     ACECOM in Colorado, recognizing that Colorado provides the 
     existing command structure, base infrastructure, and 
     communications platforms necessary to successfully host 
     additional national security initiatives and ensure 
     coordination of efforts without committing additional funds;
       (3) Proudly express that Colorado has deep ties with the 
     Department of Defense and immense patriotic commitment to 
     providing for the nation's security and bolstering our 
     defense;
       ( 4) Express our most sincere and deepest appreciation to 
     our service members and civilian employees working in and 
     supporting military and civilian aerospace companies, 
     military installations, and civil organizations in Colorado; 
     and
       (5) Hereby declare Colorado to be the prime location for 
     the permanent headquarters for USSP/ACECOM. Be it further
       Resolved, That copies of this House Joint Resolution be 
     sent to President Joseph R. Biden, Jr.; Vice President Kamala 
     Harris; Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi; Congressman Kevin 
     McCarthy; Senator Chuck Schumer; Senator Mitch McConnell; 
     Senator Michael Bennet; Senator John Hickenlooper;

       POM-127. A resolution adopted by the Senate of the State of 
     West Virginia urging the current presidential administration 
     to open federal lease sales onshore and offshore, supporting 
     critical energy infrastructure to safely deliver energy 
     produced in West Virginia, and ensuring American energy 
     companies can access the capital they need to hire American 
     workers; to the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources.

                  Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 55

       Whereas, All West Virginia residents deserve access to 
     affordable and reliable energy, whether electricity, natural 
     gas, or transportation fuels; and
       Whereas, West Virginians are currently dealing with the 
     highest inflation in over 40 years, with energy costs rising 
     29 percent, and gasoline surging 50 percent, according to the 
     U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics; and
       Whereas, The current administration is pursuing a policy 
     placing the United States at the mercy of the Organization of 
     Petroleum Exporting Countries and Russia to meet our domestic 
     needs, harming our national and economic security; and
       Whereas, Foreign oil imports from Russia surged more than 
     20 percent providing over $16 billion to Russia in 2021, 
     according to the U.S. Energy Information Agency; and
       Whereas, The current administration has frozen federal 
     lease sales for American energy resources onshore and 
     offshore while cancelling critical energy infrastructure 
     projects like the KeystoneXL pipeline which would have 
     reduced our dependence on Russian oil imports; and
       Whereas, The current administration is actively litigating 
     against its obligations to issue lease sales on federal lands 
     and waters required under federal law; and
       Whereas, The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has 
     continually delayed important decisions on permits for 
     pipelines across the country and has recently issued new 
     harmful policy statements that could further delay and impede 
     critical domestic energy infrastructure from being developed, 
     depriving West Virginia access to energy markets outside of 
     our state; and
       Whereas, The Securities and Exchange Commission is 
     designing rules to discourage investment in domestic oil and 
     natural gas companies which may further impede production and 
     opportunities for West Virginians; and
       Whereas, The Environmental Protection Agency has not issued 
     a decision on West Virginia's application for Class VI 
     primacy that would allow West Virginia to safely utilize 
     long-term storage in conjunction with state energy 
     development; therefore, be it
       Resolved by the Legislature of West Virginia: That the 
     Legislature hereby respectfully urges the current 
     Presidential Administration to open federal lease sales 
     onshore and offshore, supporting critical energy 
     infrastructure to safely deliver energy produced in West 
     Virginia, and ensuring American energy companies can access 
     the capital they need to hire American workers; and, be it 
     further
       Resolved, That the Clerk of the Senate is hereby directed 
     to forward a copy of this resolution to the President of the 
     United States, the Secretary of the Interior, the Secretary 
     of the Department of Energy, the Federal Energy Regulatory 
     Commission, the White House National Climate Advisor, the 
     Speaker and Clerk of the United States House of 
     Representatives, the President Pro Tempore and Secretary of 
     the United States Senate, the members of the West Virginia 
     Congressional Delegation, and the news media of West 
     Virginia.

       POM-128. A memorial adopted by the Senate of the State of 
     Arizona urging the United States Congress to implement 
     legislation to strengthen the United States and Arizona 
     electrical grids; to the Committee on Energy and Natural 
     Resources.

                        Senate Memorial No. 1003

       Whereas, the United States electrical grid is divided into 
     three parts, all of which are extremely vulnerable to attack 
     by electromagnetic pulse (EMP), hacking, physical assault, 
     severe electrical storms or damage by a natural solar event; 
     and
       Whereas, a nuclear EMP attack would have devastating 
     consequences to our nation, as congressional studies estimate 
     that such an attack on the Eastern United States power grid 
     would result in a 90% death rate over a one-year period. 
     Further, the United States military is 99% dependent on 
     civilian electricity, and such an attack could severely 
     hinder our nation's defense capabilities; and
       Whereas, in addition to the threat of enemy attack, the sun 
     has already hit North America twice with devastating 
     electrical force that caused major upheaval in infrastructure 
     elements, in 1859 and again in 1989; and
       Whereas, the next natural solar event or enemy attack on 
     our nation's power grids could potentially disrupt numerous 
     United States industries and services, including the 
     military, banking, farming, fuel delivery, water and sewage 
     services, hospitals, emergency services, communications and 
     manufacturing; and
       Whereas, none of the United States grids are currently EMP-
     protected at all, and basic protection has been estimated in 
     a 2004 Congressional Report to cost $2 billion; and
       Whereas, protecting our nation's vital infrastructure, 
     including its electrical grids, is a valid function of the 
     United States and state governments that benefits all 
     citizens; and
       Whereas, China, Russia and Israel have already strengthened 
     their electrical grids to limit damage and to restore power 
     after an attack or natural solar flare; and
       Whereas, terrorist countries are known to be testing and 
     preparing super-EMP weapons, naming our nation as a target. 
     If an enemy launched an attack from sea or space, the United 
     States would not soon know who attacked us and could not 
     easily retaliate; and
       Whereas, over the years, Congress and several states have 
     studied these threats, yet to date no legislation has been 
     passed requiring the strengthening of our electrical grids. 
     It is imperative that the current Congress expeditiously 
     enact comprehensive legislation that will protect our 
     nation's vital electrical grids from EMP threats, both 
     natural and man-made.
       Wherefore your memorialist, the Senate of the State of 
     Arizona, prays:
       1. That the United States Congress promptly enact 
     comprehensive legislation to strengthen the United States and 
     Arizona electrical grids.
       2. That the Secretary of State of the State of Arizona 
     transmit copies of this Memorial to the President of the 
     United States Senate, the Speaker of the United States House 
     of Representatives and each Member of Congress from the State 
     of Arizona.
                                  ____

       POM-129. A resolution adopted by the House of 
     Representatives of the State of Michigan urging the United 
     States Congress to support legislation to strengthen the 
     Workforce Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC); to the Committee on 
     Finance.

                        House Resolution No. 198

       Whereas, The Workforce Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC) 
     encourages businesses to hire employees in certain groups 
     that face significant barriers to employment. The credit 
     helps to defer the costs of recruiting, training, and 
     employing these individuals; and
       Whereas, Since its creation, the WOTC has not kept up-to-
     date with rising labor costs. The maximum credit amount has 
     not been updated since the credit was created in 1996, 
     limiting its effectiveness in incentivizing businesses to 
     hire individuals from the targeted groups; and
       Whereas, The economic effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic have 
     made it more important than ever to strengthen the WOTC. The 
     credit targets jobs to those groups that have been 
     disproportionately impacted by the pandemic. Increasing the 
     credit amount will also help businesses to recover from the 
     pandemic by defraying the costs of hiring these individuals 
     as labor costs rise; and
       Whereas, Legislation has been introduced to strengthen the 
     WOTC. H.R. 3449 of 2021, also known as the Hiring Incentive 
     to Return Employment (HIRE) Act, would temporarily increase 
     the credit amount for all targeted groups for two years. The 
     bill would also eliminate the credit's prohibition on 
     rehiring employees for this two-year period; Now, therefore, 
     be it
       Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we urge 
     Congress to support legislation

[[Page S1980]]

     to strengthen the Workforce Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC); 
     and be it further
       Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to 
     the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, 
     the President of the United States Senate, and the Michigan 
     congressional delegation.
                                  ____

       POM-130. A resolution adopted by the Senate of the State of 
     New Jersey condemning the November 1984 anti-Sikh violence in 
     India as genocide; to the Committee on Foreign Relations.

                       Senate Resolution No. 142

       Whereas, The Sikh community in the United States and New 
     Jersey has recovered from the material damages of the 
     genocide as they continue to keep the memory of those who 
     were killed alive and will never forget the Sikh genocide; 
     and
       Whereas, Recognizing the state-sponsored violence that 
     targeted Sikhs across India in 1984 is an important and 
     historic step towards justice, accountability, and 
     reconciliation, which should be an example to other 
     governments; Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved by the Senate of the State of New Jersey:
       1. The New Jersey Senate condemns the November 1984 anti-
     Sikh violence in India as genocide.
       2. Copies of this resolution, as filed with the Secretary 
     of State, shall be transmitted by the Secretary of the Senate 
     to the President and Vice-President of the United States, the 
     Majority and Minority Leaders of the United States Senate, 
     the Speaker and Minority Leader of the United States House of 
     Representatives, and every member of Congress elected from 
     this State.

       POM-131. A resolution adopted by the House of 
     Representatives of the State of Colorado urging the United 
     States Congress to adopt comprehensive voting rights 
     legislation to protect the integrity of American democracy 
     and the sacred right to vote; to the Committee on Rules and 
     Administration.

                      House Resolution No. 22-1004

       Whereas, Every January we honor the memory of Dr. Martin 
     Luther King, Jr., and his heroic efforts to advance voting 
     rights and we aspire to follow in his footsteps; and
       Whereas, No one did more to promote the right to vote for 
     disenfranchised Americans than the civil rights leaders of 
     the 1960s, including Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Congressman 
     John Lewis, Fannie Lou Hamer, and Ella Baker; and
       Whereas, Until the United States Congress passed the 
     federal ``Voting Rights Act of 1965'', people of color in the 
     United States were frequently subject to poll taxes, literacy 
     tests, and fraud and intimidation, preventing them from 
     exercising their right to cast a ballot; and
       Whereas, The United States Senate is considering critical 
     federal elections reform and long overdue updates to the 
     federal ``Voting Rights Act of 1965'' to preserve voting 
     rights for generations to come, in honor of the legacy of the 
     late Congressman John Lewis; and
       Whereas, Colorado's electoral system serves as an example 
     to the rest of the nation, and in fact the world, of how to 
     expand voter access while protecting electoral integrity 
     through safeguards including risk-limiting audits and 
     signature verification; and
       Whereas, In the 2020 election, Colorado had the second 
     highest voter turnout of any state in the nation, and 
     Colorado's largest voting bloc--young people ages 18 to 34--
     turned out in record numbers; and
       Whereas, Efforts to suppress the vote and disenfranchise 
     Americans who historically have had the least access to the 
     ballot have been on the rise across the country in recent 
     years; and
       Whereas, Last year, more than 440 bills with provisions 
     that restrict voting access were introduced in 49 states, 
     including here in Colorado, where legislation was introduced 
     to restrict voters' access to Colorado's vote by mail system, 
     a national model of excellence for election access, security, 
     and integrity; and
       Whereas, Last year, 19 states passed 34 laws restricting 
     access to voting, including Georgia's Senate Bill 202 and 
     Texas' Senate Bill No. 1, both of which made it more 
     difficult for voters to exercise their fundamental right to 
     vote enshrined in the United States Constitution and the 
     federal ``Voting Rights Act of 1965''; and
       Whereas, Falsehoods and conspiracies regarding the 
     integrity of the 2020 election have run rampant in our media 
     and public discourse; and
       Whereas, The months-long, coordinated attempt to interfere 
     with the democratic process following the November 2020 
     election and prevent the peaceful transfer of power by 
     overturning the legitimate results of the presidential 
     election, which culminated with the insurrection at the 
     United States Capitol on January 6, 2021, serves as a violent 
     reminder of the fragility of our democracy; now, therefore,
       Be It Resolved by the House of Representatives of the 
     Seventy-third General Assembly of the State of Colorado:
       That we, the members of the Colorado House of 
     Representatives:
       (1) Reassert the validity of the 2020 presidential election 
     results as legitimate and verified;
       (2) Offer Colorado's premier electoral system as a model 
     for states across the country to adopt in order to increase 
     voter participation while ensuring electoral integrity; and
       (3) Call on the United States Congress, and specifically 
     members of the United States Senate, to pass comprehensive 
     voting rights legislation to protect the fundamental right to 
     vote, which has been the cornerstone of our democracy since 
     the founding of our republic.
       Be It Further Resolved, That copies of this Resolution be 
     sent to the Speaker of the United States House of 
     Representatives, the Majority Leader of the United States 
     House of Representatives, the Minority Leader of the United 
     States House of Representatives, the President of the United 
     States Senate, the Majority Leader of the United States 
     Senate, the Minority Leader of the United States Senate, and 
     all members of the Colorado Congressional delegation.
                                  ____

       POM-132. A resolution adopted by the Board of Supervisors 
     of the City and County of San Francisco, California, urging 
     the United States Senate to ratify the Convention on the 
     Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women 
     (CEDAW); to the Committee on Foreign Relations.
