A House resolution is the House speaking for itself: stating a position, honouring someone, or setting its own rules. Adopting it is the whole process. Once the House agrees to it, it is officially the House's word; it is not a law, so the Senate and the President have no part in it.

What this bill would do

This resolution recognizes the 80th anniversary of the Fulbright Program, which was established by Senator James William Fulbright. The program aims to promote international good will through the exchange of students in education, culture, and science. It is currently sponsored by the Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs. The resolution notes that the program operates in more than 160 countries and provides approximately 9,000 grants annually. Finally, the resolution encourages Congress to support the program and congratulates its recipients.
