This resolution expresses gratitude to law enforcement agencies (including U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement) with respect to recent demonstrations in Los Angeles, California.

**Finding Federal Savings Committee Resolution** This resolution establishes the House Committee on the Elimination of Nonessential Federal Programs to analyze underperforming or nonessential federal programs and recommend actions to modify or eliminate those programs. The resolution also establishes expedited procedures for legislation reported by the committee to eliminate programs or rescind funding. The committee shall cease to exist at the end of the 120th Congress.

**Cost Estimates Improvement Act** This bill requires cost estimates prepared by the Congressional Budget Office or the Joint Committee on Taxation to include the costs of servicing the public debt.

**Streamlining Aviation for Eligible Veterans Act of 2025 or the SAFE Veterans Act of 2025** This bill authorizes the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to approve nondegree flight training courses for certain veterans with service-connected disabilities as part of the VA’s vocational rehabilitation programs under the Veteran Readiness and Employment (VR&E) program. Generally, the VR&E program provides job training and other employment-related services to veterans with service-connected disabilities, including long-term employment training courses.

**Prison Staff Safety Enhancement Act** This bill requires the Department of Justice to adopt national standards for the prevention, reduction, and punishment of sexual harassment and sexual assault by incarcerated individuals against correctional officers or other employees of the Bureau of Prisons.

**Green Tape Elimination Act of 2025** This bill exempts hazardous fuel reduction activities on federal lands from certain environmental and historic preservation regulations. *Hazardous fuel* means any vegetative material that is susceptible to burning, such as trees and grasses. *Hazardous fuel reduction activities* include installing firebreaks, using prescribed fire, and removing the hazardous fuels. First, the bill states that hazardous fuel reduction activities are not to be considered a major federal action under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) for 10 years. NEPA requires agencies to identify and evaluate the impacts of major federal actions significantly affecting the quality of the human environment prior to finalizing certain decisions. Thus, the bill exempts such actions from environmental review under NEPA during that time period. Next, the bill exempts hazardous fuel reduction activities from the Endangered Species Act of 1973, the National Historic Preservation Act, the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, and the Migratory Bird Conservation Act for 10 years. The bill also directs the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to exclude certain air quality data when determining whether there are exceedances or violations of the national ambient air quality standard for air pollutants. In the event a hazardous fuel reduction activity has a significant impact on air quality, the EPA must exclude that data when making such determination.
