H. Res. 39 
In the House of Representatives, U. S., 
January 21, 2009. 
Whereas America’s Catholic schools are internationally ac-
claimed for their academic excellence, but provide stu-
dents more than a superior scholastic education; 
Whereas Catholic schools ensure a broad, values-added edu-
cation emphasizing the lifelong development of moral, in-
tellectual, physical, and social values in America’s young 
people; 
Whereas the total Catholic school student enrollment for the 
2007–2008 academic year was nearly 2,300,000 and the 
student-teacher ratio was 14 to 1; 
Whereas Catholic schools teach a diverse group of students; 
Whereas more than 25 percent of school children enrolled in 
Catholic schools are from minority backgrounds, and over 
14 percent are non-Catholics; 
Whereas Catholic schools produce students strongly dedicated 
to their faith, values, families, and communities by pro-
viding an intellectually stimulating environment rich in 
spiritual, character, and moral development; 
Whereas the Catholic high school graduation rate is 99 per-
cent, with 80 percent of graduates attending four-year 
colleges and 17 percent attending two-year colleges or 
technical schools;
•HRES 39 EH 
Whereas in the 1972 pastoral message concerning Catholic 
education, the National Conference of Catholic Bishops 
stated: ‘‘Education is one of the most important ways by 
which the Church fulfills its commitment to the dignity 
of the person and building of community. Community is 
central to education ministry, both as a necessary condi-
tion and an ardently desired goal. The educational efforts 
of the Church, therefore, must be directed to forming 
persons-in-community; for the education of the individual 
Christian is important not only to his solitary destiny, 
but also the destinies of the many communities in which 
he lives.’’; and 
Whereas January 25, 2009, to January 31, 2009, has been 
designated as Catholic Schools Week by the National 
Catholic Educational Association and the United States 
Conference of Catholic Bishops: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) supports the goals of Catholic Schools Week, an 
event co-sponsored by the National Catholic Educational 
Association and the United States Conference of Catho-
lic Bishops and established to recognize the vital con-
tributions of America’s thousands of Catholic elementary 
and secondary schools; and 
(2) congratulates Catholic schools, students, par-
ents, and teachers across the Nation for their ongoing 
contributions to education, and for the key role they play

in promoting and ensuring a brighter, stronger future 
for this Nation. 
Attest: 
Clerk.
H. Res. 3 
In the House of Representatives, U. S., 
January 6, 2009. 
Resolved, That a committee of two Members be ap-
pointed by the Speaker on the part of the House of Rep-
resentatives to join with a committee on the part of the Sen-
ate to notify the President of the United States that a 
quorum of each House has assembled and Congress is ready 
to receive any communication that he may be pleased to

Attest: 
Clerk.
H. Res. 400 
In the House of Representatives, U. S., 
May 6, 2009. 
Resolved, That at any time after the adoption of this res-
olution the Speaker may, pursuant to clause 2(b) of rule 
XVIII, declare the House resolved into the Committee of the 
Whole House on the state of the Union for consideration of 
the bill (H.R. 1728) to amend the Truth in Lending Act to 
reform consumer mortgage practices and provide account-
ability for such practices, to provide certain minimum stand-
ards for consumer mortgage loans, and for other purposes. 
The first reading of the bill shall be dispensed with. All 
points of order against consideration of the bill are waived ex-
cept those arising under clause 9 or 10 of rule XXI. General 
debate shall be confined to the bill and shall not exceed one 
hour equally divided and controlled by the chair and ranking 
minority member of the Committee on Financial Services. 
After general debate, the Committee of the Whole shall rise

section (a) shall provide for the long-term protection, pres-
ervation, and enhancement of such segments and shall be
consistent with the comprehensive management plan for
such segments to be prepared by the Secretary of the Inte-
rior pursuant to section 3(d) of the Wild and Scenic Rivers
Act and with the local river management plans prepared
by appropriate local political jurisdictions in conjunction
with the Secretary of the Interior.
(2) The Secretary of the Interior, in consultation with
appropriate representatives of local political jurisdictions
and the State of New Jersey, shall review local river man-
agement plans described in paragraph (1) to assure that
their proper implementation will protect the values for
which the river segments described in section 2 were des-
ignated as components of the National Wild and Scenic
Rivers System. If after such review the Secretary deter-
mines that such plans and their implementing local zoning
ordinances meet the protection standards specified in sec-
tion 6(c) of the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act, then such
plans shall be deemed to constitute ‘‘local zoning ordi-
nances’’ and each township and other incorporated local
jurisdiction covered by such plans shall be deemed to con-
stitute a ‘‘village’’ for the purposes of section 6(c) (prohib-
iting the acquisition of lands by condemnation) of the Wild
and Scenic Rivers Act.
(3) The Secretary of the Interior shall biennially re-
view compliance with the local river management plans de-
scribed in paragraph (1) and shall promptly report to the
Committee on Natural Resources of the United States
House of Representatives and to the Committee on En-
ergy and Natural Resources of the United States Senate
any deviation from such which would result in any diminu-
tion of the values for which the river segment concerned
was designated as a component of the National Wild and
Scenic Rivers System.
(c) PLANNING ASSISTANCE.—The Secretary of the
Interior may provide planning assistance to local political
subdivisions of the State of New Jersey through which
flow river segments that are designated as components of
the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System, and may
enter into memoranda of understanding or cooperative
agreements with officials or agencies of the United States
or the State of New Jersey to ensure that Federal and
State programs that could affect such segments are car-
ried out in a manner consistent with the Wild and Scenic
Rivers Act and applicable river management plans.
(d) SEGMENT ADDITIONS.—The Secretary of the In-
terior is encouraged to continue to work with the local mu-
nicipalities to negotiate agreement and support for des-
ignating those segments of the Maurice River and its trib-
