Comprehensive overview in 1-2 paragraphs

H. Res. 614 is a ceremonial House of Representatives resolution that honors the life and legacy of Dr. Edwin J. Feulner, the founder of the Heritage Foundation and a key figure in the conservative movement. The resolution recounts Feulner’s biography, education, and long career in public service and conservative advocacy, including his roles with the Republican Study Committee, the Heritage Foundation, and his writings. It acknowledges his influence on American policy and history and expresses sympathy to his family. In addition, the resolution explicitly suggests to the President that Feulner be posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian honor. This is a symbolic, commemorative measure rather than law or policy. The bill is introduced in the House, sponsored by multiple members, and referred to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. It does not create or change policy but serves to recognize Feulner’s contributions and to advocate for a posthumous civilian honor.
