Latest Action · March 5, 2026
Referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs, and in addition to the Committee on the Judiciary, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
H. Con. Res. 76 is a commemorative resolution honoring Chief Richard LaMunyon of the Wichita Police Department for founding the Law Enforcement Torch Run (LETR) for Special Olympics in 1981. The resolution recognizes how a single interaction at the Special Olympics in 1979 inspired Chief LaMunyon to create a fundraising initiative that has grown into the world's largest grassroots movement supporting Special Olympics, now involving over 150,000 law enforcement officers across all 50 states, Canadian provinces, and more than 25 countries. Since its inception, the LETR has raised over $1.1 billion to support individuals with intellectual disabilities. The resolution commends both Chief LaMunyon's visionary leadership and the thousands of officers who continue the effort today. As a concurrent resolution, this legislation serves purely to express congressional recognition and does not authorize any funding or create binding policy.
