In the House of Representatives, U. S., 
May 20, 2009. 
Whereas May 25, 2009, will be the 27th National Missing 
Children’s Day; 
Whereas National Missing Children’s Day honors our Na-
tion’s obligation to locate and recover missing children by 
prompting parents, guardians, and other trusted-adult 
role models to make child safety an utmost priority; 
Whereas in the United States nearly 800,000 children are re-
ported missing a year, more than 58,000 children are ab-
ducted by non-family members, and more than 2,000 
children are reported missing every day; 
Whereas Congress’s efforts to provide resources, training, 
and technical assistance has increased the capabilities of 
State and local law enforcement to find children and to 
return them home safely; 
Whereas the 1979 disappearance of 6-year-old Etan Patz 
served as the impetus for the creation of National Miss-
ing Children’s Day, first proclaimed in 1983; and 
Whereas Etan’s photo was distributed nationwide and ap-
peared in media globally, and the powerful image came 
to represent the anguish of thousands of searching fami-
lies: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives—
•HRES 297 EH 
(1) recognizes National Missing Children’s Day and 
encourages all Americans to join together to plan events 
in communities across America to raise public awareness 
about the issue of missing children and the need to ad-
dress this national problem, 
(2) recognizes that one of the most important tools 
for law enforcement to use in the case of a missing child 
is an up-to-date, good quality photograph and urges all 
parents and guardians to follow this important pre-
caution, and 
(3) acknowledges that National Missing Children’s 
Day should remind Americans not to forget the children 
who are still missing and not to waver in the effort to 
reunite them with their families.

H. Res. 298 
In the House of Representatives, U. S., 
April 1, 2009. 
Whereas safe, creative, and effective on-premise signage has 
served as a primary catalyst to successful small busi-
nesses in America since the establishment of the Nation; 
Whereas most of the companies that manufacture on-premise 
signs in the United States are in and of themselves small 
businesses as described by the Small Business Act and 
generate thousands of manufacturing jobs that stimulate 
the economy and support the local, State, and Federal 
tax bases; 
Whereas the on-premise sign industry in turn sustains mil-
lions of additional entities covered under the Small Busi-
ness Act by providing to retail businesses across the 
country an affordable and effective advertising medium 
through which they can communicate to potential cus-
tomers about goods and services they offer, direct those 
customers to their small business sites, and reinforce the 
memory of existing customers about the locations and the 
nature of these small businesses; 
Whereas the Small Business Act empowers the Small Busi-
ness Administration to take actions to relieve the com-
petitive disadvantages that small businesses face;
•HRES 298 EH 
Whereas one such competitive disadvantage for small busi-
nesses is a lack of marketing research and advertising 
budgets to attract and retain customers; 
Whereas the Small Business Administration has recognized 
the value of on-premise signage as a remedy to these 
competitive disadvantages and has taken action to reme-
diate this disadvantage by collaborating with the sign in-
dustry to collect educational information about signs and 
to publish that information on its website that is free of 
charge and easily accessible to all small businesses; and 
Whereas the on-premise sign industry will play a critical role 
in supporting the Nation’s small businesses during the 
current economic downturn: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives (1) ap-
plauds the United States Small Business Administration for 
educating small business owners on the benefits of using well- 
placed, well-designed on-premise signs to overcome competi-
tive disadvantages in the areas of marketing and advertising, 
and (2) encourages the on-premise sign industry to continue 
its efforts to produce a new and greater understanding of 
how to develop safer, more effective, and more affordable 
signage products so as to alleviate small businesses’ competi-
tive disadvantages in marketing and advertising.

Whereas, on October 23, 1956, some 100,000 Hungarian citi-
zens began a nation-wide revolt against the Communist 
government of Hungary and its domination by the Soviet 
Union; 
Whereas the Hungarian people fought bravely for freedom,

Whereas, on March 12, 1999, the Government of Hungary, 
reflecting the will of the Hungarian people, formally be-
came a member of NATO and on May 1, 2005, Hungary 
became a full member of the European Union; 
Whereas the United States has invested over $9,000,000,000 
in Hungary since 1989 and the United States is the 
fourth-largest contributor and largest non-European con-
tributor to foreign investment in Hungary according to 
the U.S. Department of Commerce; 
Whereas the Hungarian Investment and Trade Development 
Agency reports that foreign direct investment has been 
crucial in boosting Hungary’s economic performance and

Whereas one of the unique characteristics of Camp Dudley is
