Overview

H.Res. 960 is a House resolution introduced to honor Nancy Nell Spires Tarlano for her contributions to science, education, and community life. The resolution is ceremonial in nature and does not create or change law, appropriate funds, or alter federal programs.

Purpose and Intent

The resolution recognizes Nancy Tarlano’s personal biography and accomplishments — including her pioneering role as one of the early women graduates in chemistry from the University of Dayton, her co‑authorship of research on rare earth metal separation, her professional work (including at Chemical Abstracts Service and as a high‑school teacher), and her civic involvement (member of the Daughters of the American Revolution). It expresses the House’s appreciation and extends best wishes for her continued health and happiness.

Key Provisions

  • A formal statement that the House honors Nancy Nell Spires Tarlano for her achievements and legacy.
  • Direction that the Clerk of the House make an appropriate copy of the resolution available for distribution to Ms. Tarlano.

Who Is Affected

  • Directly: Nancy Nell Spires Tarlano (the honoree) and her family (for whom the resolution is intended as a formal recognition).
  • Indirectly: constituents and organizations that may use the resolution as a public acknowledgement (e.g., local historical or civic groups). There are no regulatory, fiscal, or administrative impacts on federal agencies or programs.
