RESOLUTION

Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that 

Congress should complete action on H.R. 3762, the Pension Security Act of 2002.

Whereas recent events have highlighted the need to provide 

American workers with stronger pension protections and 

greater access to professional investment advice; 

Whereas a bipartisan majority of the House of Representatives passed H.R. 3762, the Pension Security Act of 

2002, on April 11, 2002, by a vote of 255 to 163; 

Whereas the Pension Security Act of 2002 would provide 

working Americans with more investment education and 

information regarding their retirement plans, greater access to professional investment advice, rights to diversified pension plan assets, protections against corporate 

abuses and mismanagement of pensions, and other reforms that would increase pension coverage; 

Whereas the pension protections and reforms contained in the 

Pension Security Act of 2002 would enhance the retirement security of American workers; and 

Whereas the Senate has not passed the Pension Security Act 

of 2002 or equivalent legislation: Now, therefore, be it

1 Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Rep2 resentatives that the Congress should complete action in 

3 the 107th Congress on the Pension Security Act of 2002 

4 and present such legislation to the President for his signa5 ture prior to adjournment so that needed pension protec-
