Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 276) to rename the Gulf of Mexico as the ‘‘Gulf of America”, and providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 881) to establish Department of Homeland Security funding restrictions on institutions of higher education that have a relationship with Confucius Institutes, and for other purposes.

HRES 377 is a procedural resolution that allows the House to debate and vote on two separate bills. It sets up consideration for H.R. 276, which would rename the Gulf of Mexico as the "Gulf of America" (a symbolic change with no direct impact on people or policies), and H.R. 881, which would restrict Department of Homeland Security funding for colleges with Confucius Institute ties. The resolution waives objections to these bills and outlines debate rules, but does not enact any policy changes itself. It directly affects the legislative process for these two bills, not any specific individuals or institutions.
