This resolution aims to prevent foreign influence by prohibiting the distribution of Chinese Communist Party-controlled publications within House facilities. It mandates that the Chief Administrative Officer of the House immediately cease accepting or distributing such materials, including China Daily , across all House-owned and operated buildings. Furthermore, the resolution prohibits the use of internal House mail systems for these publications and requires notification to all relevant House offices. It defines a "Chinese Communist Party-controlled publication" as one required to register under the Foreign Agents Registration Act of 1938 and owned, controlled, or directed by the CCP or its affiliates. Importantly, this prohibition does not restrict the private receipt of publications by Members or employees, access through public facilities, or collection by the Library of Congress.
