WASHINGTON — A U.S. lawmaker has submitted a House resolution honoring a late U.S. politician's congressional legacy, including his "enduring" contribution to the South Korea-U.S. alliance, Congress' website showed Friday.
Rep. Grace Meng (D-NY) introduced the resolution on Thursday to commemorate the life, military service and legacy of former Rep. Charles Rangel, a decorated Korean War veteran and longtime supporter of South Korea. Rangel passed away in May last year.
The text of the resolution was not immediately available.
Cosponsors of the resolution include Reps. Rep. Thomas Suozzi (D-NY), Gregory Meeks (D-NY), Dave Min (D-CA), Marilyn Strickland (D-WA) and Frederica Wilson (D-FL).
