The resolution acknowledges that Lunar New Year, also known as Spring Festival, Seollal, or Tết depending on the country, has been celebrated for over 4,000 years and is observed by millions of Asian Americans and people worldwide through community gatherings and cultural performances. The resolution expresses respect for Asian Americans and all individuals celebrating this holiday, which traditionally emphasizes family reunions and wishes for good fortune, health, prosperity, and happiness. There is no funding attached to this resolution, as it is a non-binding statement of Congressional recognition rather than legislation that establishes programs or allocates resources.
