This resolution honors the courage of two U.S. Air Force aviators who successfully evaded capture after ejecting over Iran in April 2026.

The Halting Inappropriate Limits Targeting Officers Now (HILTON) Act prohibits federal agencies from contracting with companies that have refused service to a federal law enforcement officer due to their official duties within the past year.

The SAFE Services Act establishes a clear preference for awarding Department of Defense contracts for professional services to qualified United States companies.

The pay reduction remains in effect until the end of that congressional session.

The Empowering Small-business Ownership Participation Act, or ESOP Act, modifies an existing pilot program designed to incentivize federal contracting with employee-owned businesses.

The Stopping Propaganda Indoctrination Nationally (SPIN) Act restricts the active domestic distribution of information released overseas under the U.S. Information and Educational Exchange Act of 1948.

Access is limited to specific groups, including press representatives, researchers, and members of Congress, only after the information has been released internationally.

The FADS Act of 2025 clarifies the authority for the Department of Energy to dispose of certain foreign-origin radiological materials, specifically Russian-made Americium-241, at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP).

The legislation ensures that these proliferation-attractive sources can be quickly removed from circulation.

The CLOUD Aircraft Act mandates the Department of Defense (DoD) to conduct a comprehensive study on the feasibility and cost of equipping all military fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft with advanced air-to-air and air-to-ground collision detection systems.

The "No Citizenship for Alien Invaders Act of 2025" amends naturalization requirements to explicitly bar any individual who entered the United States unlawfully from becoming a naturalized U.S. citizen.

In short, unlawful entry permanently disqualifies a person from becoming a citizen.

The PARENT Act of 2025 seeks to amend the definition of birthright citizenship under U.S. law.

These changes would only apply to individuals born after the Act is officially enacted.
