Expressing the sense of the Congress that Federal tax law
should be clarified to allow a reasonable charitable tax
deduction for the reasonable and necessary expenses of
Alaska Native subsistence whaling captains.
Whereas there is a need to preserve the traditional lifeways

Whereas a prohibitive financial burden has been placed upon

layed breast reconstruction may be advantageous in 
women who require post-surgical radiation or other 
treatments. 
(7) A woman who has had a breast removed 
may not be a candidate for surgical breast recon-
struction or may choose not to undergo additional 
surgery and instead choose breast prostheses. 
(8) The Women’s Health and Cancer Rights 
Act of 1998 (WHCRA; Public Law 105–277) re-
quires health plans that offer medical and surgical 
benefits with respect to a mastectomy to also provide 
coverage for all stages of reconstruction of the 
breast on which the mastectomy has been performed, 
surgery and reconstruction of the other breast to 
produce a symmetrical appearance, prostheses, and 
physical complications of mastectomy, including 
lymphedemas.

Recognizing the cultural importance of the many languages spoken in the
United States and indicating the sense of the House (the Senate concur-
ring) that the United States should maintain the use of English as
a language common to all peoples.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
JANUARY 4, 1995
Mr. EMERSON submitted the following concurrent resolution; which was
referred to the Committee on Economic and Educational Opportunities
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Recognizing the cultural importance of the many languages
spoken in the United States and indicating the sense
of the House (the Senate concurring) that the United
States should maintain the use of English as a language
common to all peoples.
Whereas the United States is a Nation with a strong history
of immigration, comprised of individuals from varied cul-
tural, ethnic, and linguistic backgrounds, each of whom
makes his or her unique contribution to the brilliant mo-
saic of Americans;
Whereas net immigration accounted for one-quarter of the
United States population change during the 1980’s, and
the diversity of the Nation can only be expected to con-
tinue to grow;
Whereas more than one hundred and fifty languages are spo-
ken in the United States today, making this Nation one
of the most linguistically diverse on this Earth;
Whereas language has a power not to be underestimated and
it can unite or divide peoples of differing backgrounds
and heritages;
Whereas examples of cities, societies, and countries where
people cannot communicate in a common tongue abound:
Serbs and Croats, Azerbanijanis and Armenians, Xhosas
and Zulus, Greek and Turkish Cypriots, and Belgian
Walloons and Flemings, to name a few, and the societal
consequences are the same, discord and disintegration;
Whereas a common language allows individuals to debate
their differences, to recognize their similarities, and to
forge compromises among peoples of different races and
tongues; and
Whereas English is the common language in the United
States today and it is the language which is not identified
with any single culture or ethnicity: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring), That the Congress—
(1) recognizes and appreciates the benefits of
cultural diversity and the contributions that many
languages have made to the rich fabric of American
society;
(2) encourages citizens whose native language is
other than English to maintain fluency in their na-
tive language and to pass their language and herit-
age down from generation to generation;
(3) encourages citizens whose native language is
other than English to learn English as well as re-
taining their individual heritages; and
(4) commends efforts to maintain one language
common to all people in addition to preserving and
maintaining the many, many languages and cultures
which currently exist in the United States.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS. 
Congress makes the following findings: 
(1) The American Cancer Society estimates 
that in 2013, about 232,340 new cases of breast 
cancer will be diagnosed in American women. 
(2) Breast cancer has a disproportionate and 
detrimental impact on African-American women and 
is the most common cancer among Hispanic women. 
(3) African-American women under the age of 
40 have a greater incidence of breast cancer than 
Caucasian women of the same age. 
(4) According to the Health Resources and 
Services Administration, women residing in rural 
areas may have lower rates of mammography screen-
ing compared to non-rural women because of bar-
riers to health care, such as greater distances to 
medical facilities and lower educational, income, and 
health insurance levels. 
(5) Individuals undergoing surgery for breast 
cancer should have the opportunity to give due con-
sideration to the option of breast reconstructive sur-
gery, either at the same time as the breast cancer 
surgery or at a later date. 
(6) According to the American Cancer Society, 
immediate breast reconstruction offers the advan-
tage of combining the breast cancer surgery with the
