H.Res. 1621 is expected to be considered on the floor of the House on December 17, 2010, under a motion to suspend the rules, requiring a two-thirds majority vote for passage. The legislation was introduced by Rep. Rush Holt (D-NJ) on September 15, 2010.

H.Res. 1621 would resolve that the House of Representatives:

  • “Recognizes and celebrates the 100th anniversary of the historic founding of the National Conference of Catholic Charities, now called Catholic Charities USA; and
  • “Honors and praises Catholic Charities USA for being a national leader in the efforts to fight poverty and to strengthen the United States in times of need and crisis.”
