House concurrent resolution remembering, with great sadness, the historic and interconnected 2011 earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear disasters that struck the Tohoku region of Japan
This House concurrent resolution formally acknowledges the 2011 earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear disasters that struck Japan's Tohoku region. It directs the Secretary of State to send a copy of the resolution to the Japanese Consul General in Boston and to Dr. and Mrs. Masatoshi Kida, recognizing their long-term efforts to strengthen friendship and cultural understanding between Vermont and Japan. The document serves as a commemorative statement of remembrance rather than a policy change, and it does not alter any laws or regulations.
