Note on textual discrepancy

The introductory text in the provided version includes a line naming the “Removing Extraneous Loopholes Insuring Every Veteran Emergency Act (RELIEVE Act),” which appears unrelated to the body of this resolution. The operative text and legislative actions correspond to an honorific resolution recognizing Demetrious Williams; any reference to the RELIEVE Act is likely a drafting or clerical error and does not change the resolution’s content or effect.
