Its path through Congress
- Introduced
- In Committee
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
H. Res. 1600 is a resolution that officially commends and congratulates Texas A&M University on its 150th anniversary. The text outlines the history of the institution from its chartering in 1871 and its first classes in 1876 through its growth into a major research and land-, sea-, and space-grant university. It highlights the university's extensive military service, including significant participation and leadership during World War I and World War II. The resolution also recognizes the development of the campus, its student enrollment, and its academic programs across Texas. Finally, the House of Representatives resolves to honor the university's 150 years of service and requests that copies of the resolution be sent to university leadership.
