# Plain Language Summary: Olympic and Paralympic Teams Resolution

This is a resolution that honors the United States Olympic and Paralympic teams for their past achievements and expresses support for the teams competing in the 2020 Olympic Games and Paralympic Games. Think of it as Congress passing a formal statement of encouragement and recognition rather than a law that changes anything.

Resolutions like this don't create new rules or programs—they're essentially official statements that Congress passes to celebrate accomplishments or show support for something they believe in. In this case, Congress is saying "we recognize the hard work and success of our Olympic and Paralympic athletes, and we're rooting for them in the upcoming 2020 Games." It's similar to a city council passing a proclamation honoring a local sports team or community hero.

This resolution doesn't affect your taxes, your rights, or any government programs. It has no direct impact on everyday Americans. However, it does represent Congress taking time to acknowledge the importance of Olympic competition and the athletes who represent the country on that world stage. It's a symbolic gesture that shows national pride and support for these athletes as they prepare to compete internationally.
