Full title

Recognizing Rachel Carson, ecologist and author whose courage, selfless spirit, and sense of wonder ushered in the modern environmental movement.

Key: what the circles and colors mean

Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:

IntroducedPassed one chamberPassed both chambersBecame law (gold)Resolution agreed to (full, dark)Failed or vetoed (gray)

Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.

Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.

Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 110th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

Recognizes the significance of the centennial of the birth of Rachel Carson (ecologist and author of "Silent Spring") and commends her for her contributions to science, literature, and the health of the natural environment all over the world.
