Commemorating the 200th anniversary of the Monroe Doctrine.

HRES 905 is a House resolution commemorating the 200th anniversary of the Monroe Doctrine, first articulated by President James Monroe in 1823. The resolution formally recognizes the doctrine's historical significance in establishing U.S. policy against foreign colonization in the Western Hemisphere and its enduring influence on U.S. foreign policy. It resolves that the House will "commemorate" the anniversary, "reassert" the U.S. position against foreign malign influence threatening Western Hemisphere democracies, and "recognize" the doctrine's principles as a foundational element of U.S. foreign policy. This is a purely ceremonial resolution with no new policy or funding implications.
