Congress; pass Thiokol Memorial Gold Medical Act; urge
This resolution urges Congress to pass the Thiokol Memorial Gold Medal Act, which would award a Congressional Gold Medal to 30 workers who died in a 1971 explosion at the Thiokol plant in Woodbine, Georgia (plus one additional worker who died in 1973). It commemorates their service manufacturing military munitions during the Vietnam War and their role in advancing workplace safety and equal pay. The resolution itself is procedural and symbolic - it does not create new policy or funding, but formally requests Congress enact the medal bill.
