## Summary

**This resolution would express support for designating February 9, 2025 as the first ever "Gulf of America Day" and celebrate the renaming of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America.** It ties that commemoration to Executive Order 14172, which directed the Secretary of the Interior to rename the United States continental shelf area formerly called the Gulf of Mexico. The measure is purely ceremonial and nonbinding. It does not create programs, change law, or provide funding.
