Summary

Creates a new, annual week for remembering the harms attributed to communism and asks the President each year to designate the week and issue a proclamation urging Americans to observe it with ceremonies and activities. The law is symbolic only: it includes findings about communism, requests a presidential proclamation, makes a clerical update to the U.S. Code, and does not authorize funding or impose penalties. The measure adds a short federal statute establishing the observance and requests (but does not require) the President to proclaim the week annually and encourage public observance. No new programs, funding, or enforcement powers are created.
