TL;DR

The Committee on Cultural Affairs, Libraries and International Intergroup Organizations held hearings on three resolutions and conducted an oversight review on censorship in the arts. All three resolutions—declaring July 26 as Haitian Konpa Day, November 12 as Sigma Gamma Rho Day, and calling for SS United States restoration funding—were laid over for further consideration rather than voted on. The censorship oversight hearing was filed by the committee.
