MINOR

The resolution was formally adopted with multiple sponsors listed, and the text was reorganized to improve flow and clarity. The substantive content regarding tribute to President Jimmy Carter remains unchanged, with no policy, funding, or eligibility modifications.

TECHNICAL

Added list of sponsoring representatives (Martus, Byrnes, Fitzgerald, Fox, Glanville, Hope, Koleszar, Longjohn, MacDonell, Morgan, Phillips, Rheingans, Rogers, Snyder, Wegela, Weiss, Witwer, Wooden, and Young) to formally identify who introduced the resolution.

Reordered the 'Whereas' clauses to present biographical information before presidential achievements, improving narrative flow. The Nobel Peace Prize mention was moved to the third 'Whereas' clause rather than a separate clause.

Removed internal document markup identifiers (e.g., '25H_HR0013_INTR_1', 'jadign') that were present in the draft version but not needed in the final adopted text.
