Expressing support for the designation of September 2023 as "Peace Month" and calling on Congress to take action to promote peace.
HRES 721 is a symbolic House resolution introduced by Rep. Norton on September 21, 2023, supporting the designation of September 2023 as "Peace Month" to align with the UN's International Day of Peace on September 21.
