H. RES. 503
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives in support of Federal
and State funded in-home care for the elderly.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
JULY 25, 2002
Mr. HASTINGS of Florida submitted the following resolution; which was
referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce
RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives in
support of Federal and State funded in-home care for
the elderly.
Whereas Federal and State financial assistance is provided
for nursing home care under the medicaid program for
elderly patients;
Whereas studies document improved outcomes and better
quality of care and life for elderly patients who are fur-
nished health care in the patients’ homes in contrast to
nursing homes;
Whereas there are only a few programs under which Federal
or State financial assistance is provided for in-home care
for elderly patients;
•HRES 503 IH
Whereas whatever Federal or State financial assistance that
is available for in-home care is insufficient to support 24-
hour care for elderly patients;
Whereas home health agencies may hire home health aides
but not require any structured education or training for
the aides;
Whereas an individual may sit for the certified nurse assist-
ant examination without the need for any formal edu-
cation and training;
Whereas there is little or no supervision of caregivers when
placed in the home of an elderly patient to care for the
patient; and
Whereas in-home care benefits not only our parents and
grandparents, but also our children and grandchildren:
Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Rep-
resentatives that—
(1) Federal and State financial assistance for
in-home care should be increased to an elderly pa-
tient once it is determined that the patient is in
need of in-home nursing care; and
(2) better treatment and guidelines are required
for students and schools who train certified nurse
assistants and home health aides.

Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives concerning the desire
for freedom and human rights within Iran.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
JULY 25, 2002
Mr. NEY (for himself and Mr. GUTKNECHT) submitted the following
resolution; which was referred to the Committee on International Relations
RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives con-
cerning the desire for freedom and human rights within
Iran.
Whereas throughout history the world has seen the power of
one simple idea: when given a choice, people will choose
freedom;
Whereas all people are endowed with inalienable rights to life,
liberty, and the pursuit of happiness;
Whereas the people of the United States respect the people
of Iran and value the contributions that Iran’s culture
has made to world civilization;
Whereas the future of Iran will be decided by the people of
Iran;
•HRES 505 IH
Whereas the people of Iran are struggling with difficult ques-
tions about how to build a modern 21st century Muslim
society that is prosperous and free;
Whereas the people of Iran aspire to democracy, civil, polit-
ical, and religious rights, and the rule of law;
Whereas this desire for freedom and reform is expressed in
the multiple overwhelming votes for change;
Whereas the people of Iran are seeking freedom by non-vio-
lent means by choosing the ballot over the bullet;
Whereas the vast majority of the people of Iran voted for po-
litical and economic reform, yet their voices are being ig-
nored by the unelected people who are the real rulers of
Iran;
Whereas talented students and professionals, faced with the
dual specter of too few jobs and too many restrictions on
their freedom, continue to seek opportunities abroad
rather than help build Iran’s future at home;
Whereas the people of Iran spontaneously gathered in the
streets after the terrorist attacks on the United States on
September 11, 2001, to stand in peaceful solidarity with
the people of the United States and reiterated their de-
sire for a dialogue and improved relations with the
United States;
Whereas the United States recognizes the people of Iran’s
right to choose their own destiny;
Whereas there is a broad-based movement for reform and
freedom in Iran that represents all sectors of Iranian so-
ciety, including youth, women, students, military per-
sonnel, and even religious figures, that is pro-democratic
and is yearning to live in freedom; and
•HRES 505 IH
Whereas the people of Iran deserve the support of the United
States in their quest for liberty: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Rep-
resentatives that—
(1) the people of the United States support
freedom, reform, and self determination for the peo-
ple of Iran;
(2) as the people of Iran move towards a future
defined by greater freedom and tolerance, they will
have no better friend than the United States; and
(3) it should be the policy of the United States
to support Iran’s domestic movement for democracy,
reform, and freedom.

Whereas since its inception, the Indian American Friendship
Council has been successful in carrying out its mission of
improving United States-India relations, supporting de-
veloping countries, promoting global democracy, pro-
tecting the interests of the Indian-American community,
and educating Members of Congress;

ern Ireland;
•HRES 513 EH
Whereas increased economic growth and job creation in
Northern Ireland can further help promote the peace and
shared governance under the terms of the Good Friday

Whereas President George W. Bush has offered a compelling
new vision for peace in Northern Ireland that emphasizes
private sector leadership and innovation to restore eco-
nomic vitality and cooperation;
Whereas the United States-Ireland Business Summit was a
bold step toward making the vision of President Bush a
reality and creating new opportunities in the United
States, Ireland, and Northern Ireland; and
Whereas approximately 44,000,000 citizens of the United
States identify themselves as having Irish ancestry and
the United States has a strong and enduring interest in
maintaining close ties with the people of Ireland and in
