Urges the United States Congress to authorize and fund the United States Army Corps of Engineers' Comprehensive Plan for Flood Control in the Upper Mississippi River Valley

Highlights that the Upper Mississippi River Valley has experienced billions of dollars in flood damage over the past two decades, including the Great Flood of 1993

Notes that flood control protects urban and rural areas, highways, railroads, infrastructure, homes, businesses, and wildlife areas throughout the region

References a Tennessee Valley Authority study showing that every dollar spent on flood control in the 500-year floodplain generates a nearly five-fold economic return through avoided costs and increased income

Directs the Missouri House Chief Clerk to prepare and distribute inscribed copies of the resolution to each member of the Missouri Congressional Delegation
