Expressing support for the designation of October 2023 as "National Down Syndrome Awareness Month".

This resolution (HRES 791) expresses the House of Representatives' support for designating October 2023 as "National Down Syndrome Awareness Month." It does not create new laws or allocate funding but formally recognizes the contributions and inclusion of people with Down syndrome in society. The resolution highlights increased life expectancy, workplace participation, and federal research investment (noting NIH funding rose from $18M to $124M since 2014), while commending advocates and emphasizing the community's role in driving policy improvements. It serves as a symbolic acknowledgment to celebrate the Down syndrome community and reaffirm ongoing support for research and inclusion efforts.
