Introduced and handed to a committee in the chamber it started in.

The committee holds it, and most bills are never heard from again. A hearing or a committee vote would be news; silence is the usual outcome, and it kills the bill without anyone voting against it.

Its path through Congress

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 expresses the sense of the House of Representatives regarding a commemorative postage stamp. It calls for the United States Postal Service to issue a stamp in honor of Charity Adams Earley. The document highlights her history as the first Black officer in the Women's Army Corps and her leadership of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion. It details her educational achievements and her post-war community leadership through the Black Leadership Development Program. The resolution suggests that the Citizens' Stamp Advisory Committee should recommend this stamp to the Postmaster General.
