Expressing support for the designation of July 30, 2023, as "National Whistleblower Appreciation Day".

HRES 643 is a symbolic House resolution expressing support for designating July 30, 2023, as "National Whistleblower Appreciation Day." It does not create new laws or obligations but encourages federal agencies to recognize the day by informing employees and contractors about whistleblower rights and acknowledging whistleblowers' contributions in combating waste, fraud, and abuse. The resolution highlights historical support for whistleblowers dating to 1778, when the Continental Congress passed early whistleblower protections. It directly affects federal agencies, which are urged to promote awareness of whistleblower protections and publicly honor whistleblowers' role in safeguarding public funds and ethics. The resolution is purely procedural and commemorative, with no binding policy changes.
