Expressing the sense of the Congress that there should be established a 
School Zone Safety Awareness Week to encourage schools, government,

adults about safety in our Nation’s school zones. 
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
JANUARY 26, 2005
Mr. BRADY of Pennsylvania submitted the following concurrent resolution; 
which was referred to the Committee on Government Reform 
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION 
Expressing the sense of the Congress that there should be 
established a School Zone Safety Awareness Week to 
encourage schools, government, parents, and businesses 
in the United States to educate children and adults about 
safety in our Nation’s school zones.
Whereas School Zone Safety Awareness Week promotes edu-
cating young children in order to improve their cognitive 
skills so they are able to effectively identify irresponsible 
driving behavior; 
Whereas School Zone Safety Awareness Week promotes edu-
cating drivers of all ages about the importance of abiding 
speed laws and stop signs in marked school zone areas;
•HCON 28 IH 
Whereas traffic-related pedestrian death rates are twice as 
high in urban areas as in rural areas; 
Whereas pedestrian injury remains the second leading cause 
of unintentional-injury-related death among children ages 
5 to 14; 
Whereas the United States values educational programs that 
encourage safety in our Nation’s school zones; 
Whereas the Nation’s kindergarten, elementary, and sec-
ondary education system should strive to educate children 
and parents about the importance of school zone safety; 
Whereas the understanding and education of the primary 
causes of pedestrian/child-related accidents in school 
zones is an important part of promoting safer walking 
environments; 
Whereas walking is a fundamental component of physical fit-
ness for children, and it is essential that children have 
the ability to walk safely in school areas; 
Whereas many organizations such as National Safe Kids 
Campaign (partnered with FedEx Express) have worked 
to perform nationwide surveys of speeding in school zones 
as part of a larger initiative to create safer walking envi-
ronments for children; and 
Whereas the establishment of the last week of August in 
every year as School Zone Safety Awareness Week would 
encourage schools, government, parents, and businesses 
in the United States to educate children and adults about 
safety in our Nation’s school zones: Now therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate 
concurring), That it is the sense of the Congress that there 
should be established a School Zone Safety Awareness

•HCON 290 IH 
Whereas nurse practitioners provide health care to people of 
all ages and in diverse health care settings, such as pri-
vate office practice, hospitals, long-term care facilities, 
schools, State and local health departments, and man-
aged care facilities; 
Whereas more than 20 percent of nurse practitioners practice

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
NOVEMBER 4, 2005 
Mr. RENZI (for himself, Mr. UDALL of New Mexico, and Mr. COLE of Okla-

CONCURRENT RESOLUTION 
Honoring the service of American Indians in the Armed 
Forces. 
Whereas American Indians have served with distinction in the 
Armed Forces and in military actions for more than 200 
years; 
Whereas the courage, determination, and fighting spirit of 
American Indians were strengths recognized and valued 
by American military leaders; 
Whereas the nearly 190,000 American Indian veterans have 
fought for the United States in the struggle for freedom 
and peace, often in a percentage well above their percent-
age of the population of the United States as a whole; 
Whereas the Elders of the American Indian Society have pro-
claimed that official recognition of the military service of
•HCON 291 IH 
American Indians would help engender a sense of self-es-
teem and pride in American Indians; and 
Whereas although November 11, Veterans Day, marks a day 
of observance for all veterans who served in the Armed 
Forces, the establishment of a specific National American 
Indian Veterans Day would honor the service of Amer-
ican Indians in the Armed Forces: Now, therefore, be it

concurring), That the Congress— 
(1) honors the service of American Indians in 
the Armed Forces;

and programs to demonstrate their support for 
American Indian veterans.
