Resolutions numbers restart every two years. That means there are other resolutions with the number H.Con.Res. 415. This is the one from the 96th Congress.

This concurrent resolution was introduced in the 96th Congress, which met from Jan 15, 1979 to Dec 16, 1980. Legislation not passed by the end of a Congress is cleared from the books.
