Attest:
Clerk.
(1) Throughout the United States, there are 
pressing unmet human, educational, environmental, 
and public safety needs. 
(2) Americans desire to affirm common respon-
sibilities and shared values, and join together in 
positive experiences, that transcend race, religion, 
gender, age, ability, region, income, and education. 
(3) Americans of all ages can improve their 
communities and become more engaged citizens 
through service to their communities. 
(4) When children and other youth participate 
in service activities and see that they are able to im-
prove the lives of others, the youth are better able 
to control their own lives in a positive way, avoiding 
risky behaviors, strengthening their community con-
nections, and becoming more engaged in their own 
education. 
(5) When youth service is tied to learning objec-
tives, that service is shown to decrease alienation 
and behavior problems, and increase knowledge of 
community needs, commitment to an ethic of service, 
and understanding of politics and morality. 
(6) When service is tied to what students are 
learning in school, the students make gains on 
achievement tests, complete their homework more

H. Res. 335 
In the House of Representatives, U. S., 
November 13, 2007. 
Whereas lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death for 
both men and women, accounting for 28 percent of all 
cancer deaths; 
Whereas lung cancer kills more people annually than breast 
cancer, prostate cancer, colon cancer, liver cancer, mela-
noma, and kidney cancer combined; 
Whereas, since the National Cancer Act of 1971 (Public Law 
92–218; 85 Stat. 778), coordinated and comprehensive 
research has raised the 5-year survival rates for breast 
cancer to 88 percent, for prostate cancer to 99 percent, 
and for colon cancer to 64 percent; 
Whereas the 5-year survival rate for lung cancer is still only 
15 percent and a similar coordinated and comprehensive 
research effort is required to achieve increases in lung 
cancer survivability rates; 
Whereas 60 percent of lung cancer cases are now diagnosed 
in nonsmokers or former smokers; 
Whereas 2⁄3 of nonsmokers diagnosed with lung cancer are 
women; 
Whereas certain minority populations, such as Black males, 
have disproportionately high rates of lung cancer inci-
•HRES 335 EH 
dence and mortality, notwithstanding their lower smoking 
rate; 
Whereas members of the baby boomer generation are enter-
ing their sixties, the most common age at which people 
develop cancer; 
Whereas tobacco addiction and exposure to other lung cancer 
carcinogens such as Agent Orange and other herbicides 
and battlefield emissions are serious problems among 
military personnel and war veterans; 
Whereas the August 2001 Report of the Lung Cancer 
Progress Review Group of the National Cancer Institute 
stated that funding for lung cancer research was ‘‘far 
below the levels characterized for other common malig-
nancies and far out of proportion to its massive health 
impact’’; 
Whereas the Report of the Lung Cancer Progress Review 
Group identified as its ‘‘highest priority’’ the creation of 
integrated, multidisciplinary, multi-institutional research 
consortia organized around the problem of lung cancer 
rather than around specific research disciplines; and 
Whereas the United States must enhance its response to the 
issues raised in the Report of the Lung Cancer Progress 
Review Group: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) recognizes lung cancer as a public health pri-
ority and the importance of taking steps toward reducing 
the lung cancer mortality rate by at least half by 2015;
•HRES 335 EH 
(2) acknowledges the importance of the rec-
ommendations of the Lung Cancer Progress Review 
Group of the National Cancer Institute; 
(3) encourages increased investment for lung cancer 
research and other lung cancer-related programs; 
(4) supports efforts to develop a broad-based lung 
cancer screening and disease management program 
among members of the Armed Forces and veterans; and 
(5) recognizes the benefit of graduate medical edu-
cation programs in thoracic medicine and cardiothoracic 
surgery.

Clerk.

Whereas international trade and investment should respect 
the rights of people above markets and involve the mean-
ingful participation of those affected by trade; 
Whereas international trade and investment should uphold 
international labor rights and promote the advancement 
of women in social and economic development; 
Whereas hundreds of millions of workers worldwide labor 
under inhumane conditions in sweatshops, often linked to 
multinational corporations, without a sustainable wage, 
basic benefits, or collective bargaining rights; 
Whereas international trade and investment should advance 
democratic principles, broad-based equality, sustainable 
human development, and poverty alleviation and secure 
the Earth’s natural environment; 
Whereas international trade and investment should respect 
the right and responsibility of people to maintain the 
global commons through the sustainable use of their local 
and traditional resources; 
Whereas government exists to serve the needs of society and 
has an essential role in setting priorities and making de-
cisions about trade and investment in order to advance 
the common good; and 
Whereas exclusive reliance on market liberalization and free 
trade often exacerbates economic and social inequalities 
within and between countries: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That henceforth the House of Representa-
tives will adhere to the following principles in evaluating, 
approving, and advancing all United States trade and in-
vestment treaties, agreements, and policies:

(1) International trade and investment systems 
should respect and support the dignity of the human

(2) International trade and investment activities

in the light of their impact on those who are most 
vulnerable. 
(3) International trade and investment policies 
and decisions should be transparent and should in-
volve the meaningful participation of the most vul-
nerable stakeholders. 
(4) International trade and investment systems 
should respect the legitimate role of government, in 
collaboration with civil society, to set policies regard-
ing the development and welfare of its people. 
(5) International trade and investment systems 
should safeguard the global commons and respect 
the right of local communities to protect and 
sustainably develop their natural resources.
