AI-generated summary, report an errorThis House resolution recognizes the military service of veterans who live in the District of Columbia. It states that D.C. residents, including about 30,000 veterans, do not have voting representation in Congress or full local self-government. It condemns that lack of representation and self-government. It calls on Congress to make D.C. the 51st state by passing the Washington, D.C. Admission Act (H.R. 51 and S. 51). The resolution does not itself change the law.
