Whereas in 2008, the United Nations General Assembly de-

Whereas many countries have celebrated World Ocean Day

Whereas World Ocean Day allows us the yearly opportunity

Whereas the world depends on the health of our ocean for a

H. Res. 1337 
In the House of Representatives, U. S., 
May 13, 2010. 
Whereas, beginning on May 2, 2010, the State of Tennessee 
was hit by unprecedented rainfall that resulted in the 
massive flooding of areas in and around Nashville; 
Whereas according to the National Weather Service of the 
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the 
two-day rainfall totals of 13.53 inches more than doubles 
the previous record of 6.68 inches set in September, 
1979; 
Whereas the storms causing the rainfall claimed the lives of 
dozens of people across Tennessee, Kentucky, and Mis-
sissippi; 
Whereas the storms destroyed homes and displaced thou-
sands of people across Tennessee; 
Whereas the flooding affected travel along hundreds of roads 
throughout Tennessee, including interstate highways 40 
and 24; 
Whereas the storms closed schools and universities across the 
region; 
Whereas Tennessee Governor Phil Bredesen has worked with 
Federal, State, and local officials and agencies to coordi-
nate rescue and recovery efforts;
•HRES 1337 EH 
Whereas, on May 3, 2010, Governor Bredesen declared a 
state of emergency for 52 counties, requesting Federal 
assistance for areas that were affected by the storms; 
Whereas, on May 4, 2010, President Obama declared that a 
major disaster exists in the State of Tennessee and di-
rected the Federal Emergency Management Agency to 
work closely with Tennessee to monitor the response ef-
forts relating to the storms and flooding and identify and 
respond to any immediate emergency needs for the citi-
zens and communities of Tennessee that are impacted by 
the devastating floods; 
Whereas citizens and emergency responders of all stripes 
worked together to aid their neighbors after the storm; 
and 
Whereas volunteers are giving their time to help ensure that 
evacuees are sheltered, clothed, fed, and comforted 
through the trauma caused by the storm: Now, therefore, 
be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) offers its deepest sympathy and condolences to 
the families of those who lost their lives as the result of 
flooding beginning on May 2, 2010, in the States of 
Tennessee, Kentucky, and Mississippi; 
(2) expresses its condolences to the families who 
lost their homes and other property in the flooding 
throughout Tennessee, Kentucky, and Mississippi; 
(3) expresses gratitude and appreciation to the peo-
ple of the State of Tennessee and the surrounding

States, who continue to work to protect people from the 
floodwaters and aid in the recovery efforts; 
(4) expresses its support as the Federal Emergency 
Management Agency continues its efforts to respond to 
any needs of the citizens and communities affected by 
the flooding and assists in the recovery efforts; and 
(5) honors the emergency responders across Ten-
nessee for their bravery and sacrifice during this trag-
edy.

H. Res. 1338 
In the House of Representatives, U. S., 
May 13, 2010. 
Whereas, since its inception in 1994, the AmeriCorps na-
tional service program has proven to be a highly effective 
way to engage Americans in meeting a wide range of 
local and national needs and promoting the ethic of serv-
ice and volunteering; 
Whereas, each year, AmeriCorps provides opportunities for 
85,000 citizens across the Nation to give back in an in-
tensive way to their communities; 
Whereas those same individuals improve the lives of the Na-
tion’s most vulnerable citizens, protect the environment, 
contribute to public safety, respond to disasters, and 
strengthen the educational system; 
Whereas AmeriCorps members serve thousands of nonprofit 
organizations, schools, and faith-based and community 
organizations each year; 
Whereas AmeriCorps members, after their terms of service 
end, are more likely to remain engaged in their commu-
nities as volunteers, teachers, and nonprofit professionals; 
Whereas, on April 21, 2009, President Barack Obama signed 
the Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act, passed by 
bipartisan majorities in both the House of Representa-
•HRES 1338 EH 
tives and the Senate, which reauthorized and will expand 
AmeriCorps programs; 
Whereas national service programs have engaged millions of 
Americans in results-driven service in the Nation’s most 
vulnerable communities, providing hope and help to peo-
ple facing economic and social needs; 
Whereas, this year, as the economic downturn puts millions 
of Americans at risk, national service and volunteering 
are more important than ever; and 
Whereas 2010’s AmeriCorps Week, observed May 8 through 
May 15, provides the perfect opportunity for AmeriCorps 
members, alumni, grantees, program partners, and 
friends to shine a spotlight on the work done by members 
and to motivate more Americans to serve their commu-
nities: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) encourages all citizens to join in a national ef-
fort to salute AmeriCorps members and alumni and raise 
awareness about the importance of national and commu-
nity service; 
(2) acknowledges the significant accomplishments of 
the AmeriCorps members, alumni, and community part-
ners; and

(3) recognizes the important contributions to the 
lives of our citizens by AmeriCorps members.

ing, obtain health insurance, pursue higher education, 
and acquire adequate employment; 
Whereas youth in foster care are much more likely to face 
educational instability with 65 percent of former foster 
children experiencing at least 7 school changes while in 
care; 
Whereas an increased emphasis on prevention and reunifica-
tion services is necessary to reduce the number of chil-
dren that are forced to enter the foster care system; 
Whereas Federal legislation over the past three decades, in-
cluding the Adoption Assistance and Safe Families Act of 
1980, the Adoption and Safe Families Act of 1997, and 
the Fostering Connections to Success and Increasing 
Adoptions Act of 2008, provided new investments and 
services to improve the outcomes of children in the foster 
care system; 
Whereas foster children, like all children, deserve no less than 
a safe, loving, and permanent home; and 
Whereas May would be an appropriate month to designate as 
National Foster Care Month to provide an opportunity to 
acknowledge the accomplishments of the child welfare 
workforce, foster parents, advocacy community, and men-
tors and the positive impact they have on children’s lives: 
Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) supports the designation of National Foster 
Care Month; 
(2) honors the tireless efforts of those who work to 
improve outcomes for children in the child welfare sys-
tem;
•HRES 1339 EH 
(3) acknowledges the exceptional alumni of the fos-
ter care system who serve as advocates and role models 
for youth who remain in care; 
(4) recognizes the significant improvements to Fed-
eral, State, and local child welfare policy; and 
(5) reaffirms the need to work through the title IV 
programs in the Social Security Act and other programs 
to support vulnerable families, invest in prevention and 
reunification services, promote adoption in cases where 
reunification is not in a child’s best interest, adequately 
serve those children brought into the foster care system, 
and facilitate the successful transition into adulthood for 
children that ‘‘age out’’ of the foster care system.
