That it is the sense of the Congress that the current Federal income tax deduction for interest paid on debt secured by a first or second home should not be further restricted. |

Gates stated that funding for nonmilitary foreign affairs programs remains disproportionately small relative to what we spend on the military and to the importance of such capabilities and called for a dramatic increase in spending on the civilian instruments of national security—diplomacy, strategic communications, foreign assistance, civic action, and economic reconstruction and development. ; Whereas, on December 15, 2010, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton released the first-ever Quadrennial Diplomacy and Development Review (QDDR), a blueprint for a whole-of-government approach to diplomacy and development, noting in public remarks that U.S. civilian power is a wise investment for American taxpayers that will pay off by averting conflicts, opening markets, and reducing threats ; Whereas a principal objective of the foreign policy of the United States, as codified in the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, is the encouragement and sustained support of the people of developing countries in their efforts to acquire the knowledge and resources essential to development and to build the economic, political, and social institutions which will improve the quality of their lives ; Whereas broad-based country- and community-ownership, sustainable and responsible trade opportunities, the robust engagement of vulnerable populations including women, and a commitment to improve governance and the rule of law, are all critical to the long-term success of development programs; Whereas individuals, businesses, and philanthropic organizations across the United States continue to play a vital and increasing role in international efforts to create a more peaceful and prosperous world for all individuals through direct and indirect assistance; Whereas studies indicate that a majority of the individuals in the United States, whose tax dollars fund Federal expenditures, support increasing funding to meet the Millennium Development Goals and to committing a higher percentage of GDP to address global poverty; and Whereas a firm and significant financial commitment to enhance United States foreign assistance programs exemplifies the compassion and resolve of the people of the United States to benefit and empower all peoples of the world for the betterment of humankind: Now, therefore, be it
That Congress— (1) recognizes that foreign assistance programs are of critical importance in promoting national security, demonstrating the humanitarian spirit of the people of the United States, and improving the credibility and standing of the United States in world affairs; and (2) expresses its support for attaining the goal of providing, on an annual basis, an amount equal to no less than one percent of United States gross domestic product (GDP) for nonmilitary foreign assistance programs. |

<whereas>
<text>
Whereas the National Association for the Advancement of
Colored People (NAACP), originally known as the National Negro Committee, was
founded in New York City on February 12, 1909, the centennial of Abraham
Lincoln's birth, by a multiracial group of activists who met in a national
conference to discuss the civil and political rights of
African-Americans;
</text>
</whereas>
<whereas>
<text>
Whereas the NAACP was founded by a distinguished group of
leaders in the struggle for civil and political liberty, including Ida
Wells-Barnett, W.E.B. DuBois, Henry Moscowitz, Mary White Ovington, Oswald
Garrison Villard, and William English Walling;
</text>
</whereas>
<whereas>
<text>
Whereas the NAACP is the oldest and largest civil rights
organization in the United States;
</text>
</whereas>
<whereas>
<text>
Whereas the NAACP National Headquarters is located in
Baltimore, Maryland;
</text>
</whereas>
<whereas>
<text>
Whereas the mission of the NAACP is to ensure the
political, educational, social, and economic equality of rights of all persons
and to eliminate racial hatred and racial discrimination;
</text>
</whereas>
<whereas>
<text>
Whereas the NAACP is committed to achieving its goals
through nonviolence;
</text>
</whereas>
<whereas>
<text>
Whereas the NAACP advances its mission through reliance
upon the press, the petition, the ballot, and the courts, and has been
persistent in the use of legal and moral persuasion, even in the face of overt
and violent racial hostility;
</text>
</whereas>
<whereas>
<text>
Whereas the NAACP has used political pressure, marches,
demonstrations, and effective lobbying to serve as the voice, as well as the
shield, for minorities in the United States;
</text>
</whereas>
<whereas>
<text>
Whereas after years of fighting segregation in public
schools, the NAACP, under the leadership of Special Counsel Thurgood Marshall,
won one of its greatest legal victories in the Supreme Court's decision in
Brown v. Board of Education, 347 U.S. 483 (1954);
</text>
</whereas>
<whereas>
<text>
Whereas in 1955, NAACP member Rosa Parks was arrested and
fined for refusing to give up her seat on a segregated bus in Montgomery,
Alabama, an act of courage that would serve as the catalyst for the largest
grassroots civil rights movement in the history of the United States;
</text>
</whereas>
<whereas>
<text>
Whereas the NAACP was prominent in lobbying for the
passage of the Civil Rights Acts of 1957, 1960, and 1964, the Voting Rights Act
of 1965, the Fannie Lou Hamer, Rosa Parks, Coretta Scott King, César E. Chávez,
Barbara C. Jordan, William C. Velásquez, and Dr. Hector P. Garcia Voting Rights
Act Reauthorization and Amendments Act of 2006, and the Fair Housing Act, laws
that ensured Government protection for legal victories achieved;
</text>
</whereas>
<whereas>
<text>
Whereas in 2005, the NAACP launched the Disaster Relief
Fund to help hurricane survivors in Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, Florida, and
Alabama to rebuild their lives;
</text>
</whereas>
<whereas>
<text>
Whereas in the 110th Congress, the NAACP was prominent in
lobbying for the passage of H. Res. 826, whose resolved clause expresses that
the hanging of nooses is a horrible act when used for the purpose of
intimidation and which under certain circumstances can be criminal, this
conduct should be investigated thoroughly by Federal authorities, and any
criminal violations should be vigorously prosecuted;
</text>
</whereas>
<whereas>
<text>
Whereas in 2008, the NAACP vigorously supported the
passage of the Emmett Till Unsolved Civil Rights Crime Act of 2007, a law that
puts additional Federal resources into solving the heinous crimes that occurred
in the early days of the civil rights struggle that remain unsolved and
bringing those who perpetrated such crimes to justice;
</text>
</whereas>
<whereas>
<text>
Whereas the NAACP has helped usher in the new millennium

| IV 113th CONGRESS 1st Session H. CON. RES. 12 IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES February 12, 2013 Mr. Al Green of Texas (for himself, Ms. Bass , Mrs. Beatty , Mr. Bishop of Georgia , Ms. Brown of Florida , Mr. Carson of Indiana , Ms. Clarke , Mr. Clay , Mr. Cleaver , Mr. Clyburn , Mr. Conyers , Mr. Cummings , Mr. Danny K.

Whereas the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), originally known as the National Negro Committee, was founded in New York City on February 12, 1909, the centennial of Abraham Lincoln's birth, by a multiracial group of activists who met in a national conference to discuss the civil and political rights of African-Americans; Whereas the NAACP was founded by a distinguished group of leaders in the struggle for civil and political liberty, including Ida Wells-Barnett, W.E.B. DuBois, Henry Moscowitz, Mary White Ovington, Oswald Garrison Villard, and William English Walling; Whereas the NAACP is the oldest and largest civil rights organization in the United States; Whereas the NAACP National Headquarters is located in Baltimore, Maryland; Whereas the mission of the NAACP is to ensure the political, educational, social, and economic equality of rights of all persons and to eliminate racial hatred and racial discrimination; Whereas the NAACP is committed to achieving its goals through nonviolence; Whereas the NAACP advances its mission through reliance upon the press, the petition, the ballot, and the courts, and has been persistent in the use of legal and moral persuasion, even in the face of overt and violent racial hostility; Whereas the NAACP has used political pressure, marches, demonstrations, and effective lobbying to serve as the voice, as well as the shield, for minorities in the United States; Whereas after years of fighting segregation in public schools, the NAACP, under the leadership of Special Counsel Thurgood Marshall, won one of its greatest legal victories in the Supreme Court's decision in Brown v. Board of Education, 347 U.S. 483 (1954); Whereas in 1955, NAACP member Rosa Parks was arrested and fined for refusing to give up her seat on a segregated bus in Montgomery, Alabama, an act of courage that would serve as the catalyst for the largest grassroots civil rights movement in the history of the United States; Whereas the NAACP was prominent in lobbying for the passage of the Civil Rights Acts of 1957, 1960, and 1964, the Voting Rights Act of 1965, the Fannie Lou Hamer, Rosa Parks, Coretta Scott King, César E. Chávez, Barbara C. Jordan, William C. Velásquez, and Dr. Hector P. Garcia Voting Rights Act Reauthorization and Amendments Act of 2006, and the Fair Housing Act, laws that ensured Government protection for legal victories achieved; Whereas in 2005, the NAACP launched the Disaster Relief Fund to help hurricane survivors in Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, Florida, and Alabama to rebuild their lives; Whereas in the 110th Congress, the NAACP was prominent in lobbying for the passage of H. Res. 826, whose resolved clause expresses that the hanging of nooses is a horrible act when used for the purpose of intimidation and which under certain circumstances can be criminal, this conduct should be investigated thoroughly by Federal authorities, and any criminal violations should be vigorously prosecuted; Whereas in 2008, the NAACP vigorously supported the passage of the Emmett Till Unsolved Civil Rights Crime Act of 2007, a law that puts additional Federal resources into solving the heinous crimes that occurred in the early days of the civil rights struggle that remain unsolved and bringing those who perpetrated such crimes to justice; Whereas the NAACP has helped usher in the new millennium by charting a bold course, beginning with the appointment of the organization’s youngest President and Chief Executive Officer, Benjamin Todd Jealous, and its youngest female Board Chair, Roslyn M. Brock; Whereas under their leadership, the NAACP has outlined a strategic plan to confront 21st century challenges in the critical areas of health, education, housing, criminal justice, and environment; Whereas, on July 16, 2009, the NAACP celebrated its centennial anniversary in New York City, highlighting an extraordinary century of Bold Dreams, Big Victories with a historic address from the first African-American President of the United States, Barack Obama; Whereas as an advocate for sentencing reform, the NAACP applauded the passage of the Fair Sentencing Act of 2010 ( Public Law 111–220 ; 124 Stat. 2372), a landmark piece of legislation that reduces the quantity of crack cocaine that triggers a mandatory minimum sentence for a Federal conviction of crack cocaine distribution from 100 times that of people convicted of distributing the drug in powdered form to 18 times that sentence; and Whereas in 2011, the NAACP led the charge to defend the constitutional right to vote and to protect that right for all citizens of the United States, whether they be seniors, young voters, the poor, or from minority communities: Now, therefore, be it
That Congress— (1) recognizes the 104th anniversary of the historic founding of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People; and (2) honors and praises the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People on the occasion of its anniversary for its work to ensure the political, educational, social, and economic equality of all persons. |

<text>
Whereas global warming can generally be described as an
increase in the average temperature of the earth’s atmosphere, and sea-level
rise can best be described as an overall increase in sea level;
</text>
</whereas>
<whereas>
<text>
Whereas global warming and related aspects of climate
change are caused by the emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases
due to industrial processes and fossil fuel combustion associated with the
process of economic growth, and changes in land use such as
deforestation;
</text>
</whereas>
<whereas>
<text>
Whereas studies show that the continuation of historical
trends of greenhouse gas emissions will result in additional global warming,
with current projections of global warming 2.5°F to 10.4°F by 2100;
</text>
</whereas>
<whereas>
<text>
Whereas global warming will induce sea-level rise that
will steadily inundate coastal areas, change precipitation patterns, increase
risk of droughts and floods, threaten biodiversity, and offer a host of
potential challenges to public health;
</text>
</whereas>
<whereas>
<text>
Whereas the generally expected 50 to 200 cm sea-level rise
from global warming would inundate 7,000 square miles of dry land in the United
States and equal amounts of coastal wetlands;
</text>
</whereas>
<whereas>
<text>
Whereas such sea-level rise will effectively force
recreational beaches inland, exacerbate coastal flooding, and increase the
salinity of aquifers and estuaries in the next century;
</text>
</whereas>
<whereas>
<text>
Whereas it has been reported that the accumulation of
carbon dioxide in the atmosphere now will persist for approximately 100
years;
</text>
</whereas>
<whereas>
<text>
Whereas if we are not proactive in our efforts to reduce
greenhouse gas emissions and wait to see obvious effects of global warming and
sea-level rise, it may be too late to avoid the harmful repercussions of such
events;
</text>
</whereas>
<whereas>
<text>
Whereas the ongoing and projected estimates of sea-level
rise as a result of global warming threaten the loss of 22 percent of the
world’s coastal wetlands by 2080;
</text>
</whereas>
<whereas>
<text>
Whereas the ongoing and projected increases in sea-level
rise as a result of global warming have extremely strong implications for
stewardship by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service of nearly 1,100,000
acres of coastal wetlands located in 159 coastal national wildlife refuges in
the United States and its Caribbean and Pacific territories;
</text>
</whereas>
<whereas>
<text>
Whereas the National Wildlife Refuge System was created to
conserve fish, wildlife, and plants and their habitats;
</text>
</whereas>
<whereas>
<text>
Whereas the effects of global warming and sea-level rise
may greatly impact the effectiveness of the National Wildlife Refuge System in
the conservation of migratory birds, anadromous and interjurisdictional fish,
marine mammals, endangered species and threatened species, and the habitats on
which these species depend;
</text>
</whereas>
<whereas>
<text>
Whereas global warming and sea-level rise has already
begun to affect some of the Nation’s most valued natural resources such as the
coral reefs near Buck Island National Park in St. Croix, Virgin Islands, and
Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge on the Chesapeake Bay, and other areas;

face but were used to prevent racial minorities from registering and
voting;
</text>
</whereas>
<whereas>
<text>
Whereas when Congress enacted the Voting Rights Act of
1965, certain States and their political subdivisions had resorted to
substituting new discriminatory practices for ones that were enjoined by the
Federal courts, requiring aggrieved plaintiffs to assume the burden of repeated
litigation to vindicate their fourteenth and fifteenth amendment rights;

Whereas section 5 has proven to be one of the most
effective provisions of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 in blocking and deterring
many thousands of discriminatory voting practices that would have denied or

candidates of their choice;

dsd = load_dataset(path="hyperdemocracy/usc-textversion")
# load a single congress number into a `Dataset`
ds = load_dataset(path="hyperdemocracy/usc-textversion", split=117)
# load all congress numbers into a single `Dataset`
ds = load_dataset(path="hyperdemocracy/usc-textversion", split="all")
