RES. 1510 Expressing support for the designation of September 4, 2026, as ``Taekwondo Grandmasters Appreciation Day''. _______________________________________________________________________ IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES September 3, 2026 Mr. Fitzpatrick (for himself and Ms. Dean of Pennsylvania) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform _______________________________________________________________________ RESOLUTION Expressing support for the designation of September 4, 2026, as ``Taekwondo Grandmasters Appreciation Day''.
