In the House of Representatives, U.S.,
October 4, 2004.
Whereas access to dental care for children is a vital element
of overall health care and development;
Whereas dental caries—more commonly known as tooth
decay—is the most common chronic childhood disease;
Whereas untreated tooth decay in children results in thou-
sands of children experiencing poor eating and sleeping
patterns, suffering decreased attention spans at school,
and being unable to smile;
Whereas due to a confluence of factors, children eligible for
Medicaid and the State Children’s Health Insurance Pro-
gram are three to five times more likely than other chil-
dren to experience and suffer from untreated tooth decay;
Whereas dentists provide an estimated $1.7 billion annually
in non-reimbursed dental care;
Whereas the participation of dentists in the second annual
‘‘Give Kids a Smile’’ program, established and sponsored
by the American Dental Association and held this year on
February 6, 2004, serves to remind people in the United
States about the need to end untreated childhood dental
disease;
Whereas the generous support of numerous corporations,
such as Crest Healthy Smiles 2010, Sullivan-Schein Den-
•HRES 567 EH
tal, DEXIS Digital X-ray Systems, and Ivoclar Vivadent
Inc., helped make this year’s ‘‘Give Kids a Smile’’ pro-
gram a success; and
Whereas more than 37,000 volunteers, including more than
15,000 dentists, provided free education, screening, and
care services to an estimated one million children at more
than 2,500 sites in all 50 States and the District of Co-
lumbia during this year’s ‘‘Give Kids a Smile’’ program:
Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives—
(1) congratulates the American Dental Association
for establishing and continuing its sponsorship of the
‘‘Give Kids a Smile’’ program;
(2) emphasizes the need to improve access to dental
care for children;
(3) thanks the thousands of dentists, dental hygien-
ists, dental assistants, and others who volunteered their
time to bring a smile to the faces of an estimated one
million children as part of the ‘‘Give Kids a Smile’’ pro-
gram; and

arrested, detained, and interned;
Whereas the Japanese American community recognizes a Na-
tional Day of Remembrance on February 19th of each
year to educate the public about the lessons learned from
the internment to ensure that it never happens again;
and
Whereas the Day of Remembrance provides an opportunity
for all people to reflect on the importance of justice and
civil liberties during times of uncertainty and emergency:
Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives—
(1) recognizes the historical significance of Feb-
ruary 19, 1942, the date Executive Order 9066 was
signed by President Roosevelt, restricting the freedom of
Japanese Americans, German Americans, and Italian
Americans, and legal resident aliens through required
identification cards, travel restrictions, seizure of per-
sonal property, and internment; and
(2) supports the goals of the Japanese American,
German American, and Italian American communities in
recognizing a National Day of Remembrance to increase
public awareness of these events.

Whereas the Government of Spain immediately and unequivo-

the Commission on Wartime Relocation and Internment
of Civilians to investigate the claim that the incarceration
of Japanese Americans and legal resident aliens during

•HRES 56 EH
Whereas the Commission held 20 days of hearings and heard
from over 750 witnesses on this matter and published its
findings in a report entitled ‘‘Personal Justice Denied’’;
Whereas the conclusion of the Commission was that the pro-
mulgation of Executive Order 9066 was not justified by
military necessity, and that the decision to issue the
order was shaped by ‘‘race prejudice, war hysteria, and
a failure of political leadership’’;
Whereas Congress enacted the Civil Liberties Act of 1988, in
which it apologized on behalf of the Nation for ‘‘funda-
mental violations of the basic civil liberties and constitu-
tional rights of these individuals of Japanese ancestry’’;
Whereas President Ronald Reagan signed the Civil Liberties
Act of 1988 into law on August 10, 1988, proclaiming
that day to be a ‘‘great day for America’’;
Whereas the Civil Liberties Act of 1988 established the Civil
Liberties Public Education Fund, the purpose of which is
‘‘to sponsor research and public educational activities and
to publish and distribute the hearings, findings, and rec-
ommendations of the Commission on Wartime Relocation
and Internment of Civilians so that the events sur-
rounding the exclusion, forced removal, and internment
of civilians and permanent resident aliens of Japanese
ancestry will be remembered, and so that the causes and
circumstances of this and similar events may be illumi-
nated and understood’’;
Whereas Congress adopted the Wartime Violation of Italian
Americans Civil Liberties Act, which was signed by Presi-
dent Bill Clinton on November 7, 2000, which included
