Referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.
This resolution is a non-binding statement adopted by both chambers that recognizes the two-year anniversary of the 2005 Pakistan earthquake and urges the United States Government to continue supporting rebuilding efforts. It expresses Congresss view and asks the executive branch to act, but it does not create legal obligations or provide funding. It does not become law and does not require the President to do anything.
Concurrent resolutions must be approved by both the House and the Senate but are not sent to the President and do not have the force of law.
This concurrent resolution recognizes the two-year anniversary of the October 8, 2005 magnitude 7.6 earthquake in northern Pakistan, recalls U.S. emergency response efforts and casualties, and urges the United States Government to continue supporting rebuilding efforts in the affected areas.
Content is narrow, symbolic, bipartisan, and imposes no costs; likely to be adopted by both chambers absent scheduling or political objections. Note: concurrent resolutions are not laws.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this concurrent resolution is a clear, narrowly framed commemorative statement that documents the 2005 Pakistan earthquake's impacts and the U.S. response and urges continued U.S. support for rebuilding. It intentionally contains little in the way of binding mechanisms, implementation detail, fiscal provisions, or oversight measures.
