  • The published version includes an unrelated line (“This Act may be cited as the American Consumer Awareness of National Source Act or the American CANS Act”) that appears inconsistent with the resolution’s content; this likely reflects a drafting or clerical insertion and does not alter the resolution’s commemorative character.
