Plain-language change summary

The changes indicate that the resolution was initially submitted by Mr. Manchin and Mr. Cotton but later included additional sponsors: Mr. Wicker and Mr. Boozman. Furthermore, the text reflects that the resolution was considered and agreed to by the Senate after being discharged from the Committee on Armed Services. This matters because it shows a broader support for the resolution and confirms its progression through the legislative process.
