A resolution celebrating the 80th anniversary of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the premier public health institute of the United States.

Backing the CDC's lifesaving public health mission. This resolution would celebrate the agency's 80th anniversary and highlight achievements such as smallpox eradication in 1980, the Vaccines for Children program credited with preventing over 1.1 million deaths, and CDC collaboration with PEPFAR credited with saving more than 26 million lives. It would condemn the August 8, 2025 shooting at CDC headquarters that killed Officer David Rose and offer condolences. The measure would affirm a congressional responsibility to protect the CDC's integrity and the dignity of its staff and express hope for continued investment in data-driven research and public health programs. It would be a symbolic, non-binding statement rather than a funding or regulatory change.
