A resolution expressing the sense of the Senate that Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert Fitzgerald Kennedy Jr. does not have the confidence of the Senate or of the American people to faithfully carry out the duties of his office.

Protection of Public Health Funding: The resolution notes the Secretary abruptly terminated $11,000,000,000 of critical public health funding, which affects disease surveillance, substance abuse services, and emergency preparedness. Stopping such actions would protect these essential services.

Support for Research and Training: The text mentions obligations to support research and training for women and individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds. Maintaining these obligations ensures progress in addressing health disparities.

�Preservation of Essential Services for Vulnerable Groups: The resolution highlights the Secretary's duty to ensure older Americans and individuals with disabilities are afforded dignity and the ability to participate in their communities. Protecting these roles ensures these populations continue to receive necessary support.

Maintenance of Scientific Integrity: The text alleges that the Secretary's actions have caused delays in scientific advancements and treatments. Maintaining current research functions would help prevent the loss of human health and lives.

Harm to Research and Medical Advancements: The resolution states that the termination of research grants has caused "direct, immediate, significant, and irreparable harm," which may delay treatments and compromise human health.

Threats to Public Health Safety: The text describes a multi-state measles outbreak occurring during the Secretary's tenure, resulting in 727 hospitalizations and 3 deaths. It also notes the stopping of flu vaccination advertising and the proposal to stop water fluoridation, which is used to prevent dental decay.

Loss of Employment and Essential Services: The Secretary has initiated the termination of many federal employees, including 5,200 probationary workers and a planned additional 10,000. These reductions are said to endanger children and seniors by undermining services like child care, Head Start, and foster care.

Impact on Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities: The reorganization of the Administration for Community Living has allegedly terminated half of the staff working on federal aging and disability programs, which impacts more than 11,000,000 seniors and 70,000,000 Americans with disabilities.

Erosion of Transparency: The elimination of staff from Freedom of Information Act offices is cited as an action that erodes the American people's ability to access government transparency and accountability.
