RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that
the President should release emergency funding under
•HRES 300 IH
the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program in
view of the large number of people who lost their jobs
due to the weak economy or as a result of the terrorist
attacks of September 11, 2001.
Whereas our country is healing from the terrorists attacks on
the United States on September 11, 2001;
Whereas a weak economy, combined with the events of Sep-
tember 11, 2001, has caused an enormous loss of jobs;
Whereas economists predict the continued fallout from the
September 11 attacks, the fear of anthrax, falling con-
sumer confidence, and worries over unemployment will
slow consumer spending further and worsen the economy;
Whereas more individuals will need Low-Income Home En-
ergy Assistance Program assistance in fiscal year 2002
due to the recent increase in unemployment and the slow-
ing economy;
Whereas the Federal Government has a duty to meet this
temporary challenge;
Whereas the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program
could directly help individuals affected by the slowing
economy;
Whereas the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program
is a federally-funded block grant program that helps ease
the energy cost burden of low-income households;
Whereas Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program
emergency funds have been used in the past to assist
those in crisis circumstances, and the September 11,
2001, attacks created crises for households throughout
the country; and
•HRES 303 IH
(1) expresses appreciation to the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization, the European Union, the Or-
ganization for Security and Cooperation in Europe,
and the individual countries of Europe for providing
or offering military forces and other assistance in
support of Operation Enduring Freedom and the
campaign against international terrorism; and
(2) reaffirms the importance of the trans-
atlantic relationship and of the commitment and
support of our European allies and partners.
Æ
•HRES 300 IH
Whereas the President currently has at his disposal emer-
gency Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program
funds that could assist those who are without jobs and
are in extreme economic distress as a result of the events
of September 11, 2001, pay their energy bills: Now,
therefore, be it
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Rep-
resentatives that the President should use his authority
under section 2602(e) of the Low-Income Home Energy
Assistance Act of 1981 (42 U.S.C. 8621(e)) to release
emergency funds immediately to States to ease the addi-
tional financial burden that job loss and depressed con-
sumer confidence have placed on low-income families.
