This resolution (1) condemns the assassination of Charles "Charlie" James Kirk and all forms of political violence; and (2) honors the life, leadership, and legacy of Charlie Kirk.

This resolution provides a special rule for consideration of H.R. 185 and amends that bill to direct the Department of Justice (DOJ) to make publicly available certain records related to Jeffrey Epstein or Ghislaine Maxwell. Under H.R. 185, as amended by the resolution, DOJ must publicly disclose all unclassified records, documents, communications, and investigative materials in its possession that relate to Epstein or Maxwell. The records include unclassified records referring or relating to Epstein's detention and death; flight logs of aircraft owned or used by Epstein; individuals named in connection with Epstein’s criminal activities, civil settlements, or immunity or plea agreements; immunity deals, sealed settlements, or plea bargains of Epstein or his associates; entities with ties to Epstein’s trafficking or financial networks; and internal Department of Justice communications concerning decisions to investigate or charge Epstein or his associates.  However, under the amended bill, DOJ may withhold or redact portions of records with written justification that such portions contain (1) victims' personally identifiable information; (2) child sexual abuse materials; (3) images of death, physical abuse, or injury; (4) information which would jeopardize an active federal investigation or prosecution; or (5) classified information. DOJ may not withhold or redact records on the basis of embarrassment, reputational harm, or political sensitivity. Further, within 15 days of completing the required disclosures, DOJ must provide Congress with a report listing all categories of records released and withheld, all redactions made and their legal basis, and all government officials and politically exposed persons named or referenced in the released materials.

This resolution creates an exception to the House limit on the number of employees who may hold security clearances within certain Member offices. Specifically, any member of the Armed Forces who holds a security clearance issued by the Department of Defense does not count toward the number of employees of a Member who may hold security clearances issued by the Office of House Security. The exception applies to employees of Members on the Committees on Armed Services, Foreign Affairs, or Homeland Security; the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence; or specified subcommittees of the Committee on Appropriations.

**Defending Domestic Orange Juice Production Act of 2025** This bill requires finished pasteurized orange juice to contain at least 10% by weight of orange juice soluble solids, exclusive of the solids of any added optional sweetening ingredients. (Current regulations require at least 10.5% by weight of orange juice soluble solids.)

**CBO Show Your Work Act** This bill requires the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) to make available to Congress and the public each fiscal model, policy model, and data preparation routine that the CBO uses to estimate the costs and other fiscal, social, or economic effects of legislation. For each estimate of the costs and other fiscal effects of legislation, the CBO must also disclose, in a manner sufficient to permit replication by individuals not employed by the CBO, the data, programs, models, assumptions, and other details of the computations used to prepare the estimate. For data that may not be disclosed, the CBO must make available to Congress and the public * a complete list of all data variables for the data; * descriptive statistics for all data variables for the data, to the extent that the descriptive statistics do not violate the rule against disclosure; * a reference to the statute requiring that the data not be disclosed; and * contact information for the individual or entity who has unrestricted access to the data.

**BNA Fairness Ac**t This bill excludes from gross income (for federal income tax purposes) the basic needs allowance received by eligible members of the Armed Forces. Under current law, members of the Armed Forces may be eligible to receive the basic needs allowance (additional monthly payment) if (1) they have completed initial training, (2) they have at least one dependent, and (3) their total household income does not exceed 200% of the federal poverty level (based on the location and number of individuals in the household). Further, under current law, certain qualified military benefits may be excluded from gross income. However, the basic needs allowance is not included within the definition of *qualified military benefits* and must be included in gross income for federal tax purposes. Under the bill, the definition of *qualified military benefits* that may be excluded from gross income is expanded to include the basic needs allowance.
