IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
MARCH 20, 2001

rent resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Education and
the Workforce
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Recognizing the importance of families and children in the
United States and expressing support for the goals and
ideas of National FamilyDay.
Whereas national evidence indicates that America’s kids are
faced with oppressive issues such as violence, drugs,
abuse, and even family stress, causing the future of the
children of the United States, and therefore the future of
the Nation, to be at risk;
Whereas families in the United States, regardless of their
economic status, ethnic or cultural heritage, or geo-
graphic location, are experiencing the pressures caused by
contemporary society while trying to raise and nurture
emotionally healthy and physically safe children;

Mr. WICKER submitted the following concurrent resolution; which was referred
to the Committee on Armed Services
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of Congress regarding the employers
of the members of the reserve components of the Armed
Forces.
Whereas the United States relies on the service of the mem-
bers of the reserve components of the Armed Forces to
meet the security needs of the Nation at home and
around the world;
Whereas the reserve components of the Armed Forces are an
increasingly important part of the force structure of the
Armed Forces;
Whereas the members of the reserve components of the
Armed Forces are being deployed to serve critical func-
tions around the world in support of the strategic inter-
ests of the United States;
•HCON 72 IH
Whereas the members of the reserve components of the
Armed Forces make significant contributions through
their civilian employment to communities throughout the
United States;
Whereas the employers of the members of the reserve compo-
nents of the Armed Forces play a vital part in ensuring
the ability of the United States to maintain a well-trained
and prepared reserve component; and
Whereas chapter 43 of title 38, United States Code, provides
members of the uniformed services, including members of
the reserve components of the Armed Forces, with pro-
tections against adverse employment actions that are mo-
tivated by the involvement of such members with the uni-
formed services: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring), That it is the sense of Congress that employ-
ers of members of the reserve components of the Armed
Forces should—
(1) be commended for their unwavering com-
mitment to their employees who serve the Nation as
members of the reserve components of the Armed
Forces; and
(2) continue to support the mission of the re-
serve components of the Armed Forces by strictly
adhering to the provisions of chapter 43 of title 38,
United States Code.

Expressing the sense of the Congress that a commemorative postage stamp
should be issued honoring Hiram Bingham IV, and that the Citizens’
Stamp Advisory Committee should recommend to the Postmaster General
that such a stamp be issued.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
MARCH 21, 2001
Mr. SIMMONS (for himself, Mr. LATOURETTE, Ms. BALDWIN, Mr. FERGUSON,
Mr. WOLF, and Mr. HOLDEN) submitted the following concurrent resolu-

CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the Congress that a commemorative
postage stamp should be issued honoring Hiram Bing-
ham IV, and that the Citizens’ Stamp Advisory Com-
mittee should recommend to the Postmaster General that
such a stamp be issued.
Whereas Hiram Bingham IV, of Salem, Connecticut, exempli-
fied American public service and personal bravery of the
highest order;
Whereas, while serving as a United States diplomat in
France between 1939 and 1941, Hiram Bingham IV
helped save the lives of thousands of refugees who were
fleeing Hitler, by writing false visas for them, hiding
them at his diplomatic residence, working with the
•HCON 75 IH
French underground, and planning daring escapes for
them through Southern France;
Whereas Hiram Bingham IV, in courageously following his
conscience, was risking not only his career (since his ac-
tions contravened the policies of his government at the
time), but his personal safety;
Whereas Hiram Bingham IV has come to be recognized as
one of eleven ‘‘righteous diplomats’’ who, collectively,
helped save approximately 200,000 persons from the Hol-
ocaust, some 1,000,000 descendants of whom are living
today; and
Whereas, for his selfless heroism, Hiram Bingham IV has
been called ‘‘America’s Wallenberg’’ and ‘‘America’s
Schindler’’: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring), That it is the sense of the Congress that—
(1) a commemorative postage stamp should be
issued by the United States Postal Service honoring
Hiram Bingham IV; and
(2) the Citizens’ Stamp Advisory Committee
should recommend to the Postmaster General that
such a stamp be issued.

(2) Our brave men and women in uniform de-
serve to be offered first-rate financial products in 
order to provide for their families and save and in-
vest for retirement. 
(3) Our military personnel are being offered 
high-cost securities and life insurance products by fi-
nancial services companies engaging in abusive and 
misleading sales practices. 
(4) One securities product being offered to our 
service members, the contractual plan mutual fund, 
has not been marketed to civilians since the 1980s 
due to its exorbitant fees. A 50% sales commission 
is assessed against the first year of contributions, 
even though the average commission on a mutual 
fund is less than six percent. 
(5) If a mutual fund is too expensive for the ci-
vilian market, then it is also too expensive for our 
men and women in uniform. 
(6) Certain life insurance products being of-
fered to our service members are being improperly 
marketed as investment products. These products 
provide very low death benefits for very high pre-
miums that are front-loaded in the first few years, 
making them completely inappropriate for most mili-
tary personnel.
