Section 102(a) of the Federal Oil and Gas Royalty 
Management Act of 1982 (30 U.S.C. 1712(a)) is amended 
to read as follows:

tive collections of royalty and other payments, a lessee who 
is required to make any royalty or other payment under 
a lease or under the mineral leasing laws, shall make such 
payments in the time and manner as may be specified by 
the Secretary or the applicable delegated State. Any per-
son who pays, offsets or credits monies, makes adjust-
ments, requests and receives refunds, or submits reports 
with respect to payments the lessee must make is the les-
see’s designee under this Act. Notwithstanding any other 
provision of this Act to the contrary, a designee shall be 
liable for any payment obligation of any lessee on whose 
behalf the designee pays royalty under the lease. The per-
son owning operating rights in a lease and a person own-
ing legal record title in a lease shall be liable for that per-
son’s pro rata share of payment obligations under the 
lease.’’.

To amend title 18 of the United States Code to
provide life imprisonment for repeat offenders
who commit sex offenses against children.
H. Res. 1009
In the House of Representatives, U. S., 
September 27, 2006.
Whereas preventing young people from running away and 
supporting homeless youth and youth in other high-risk 
situations is a family, community, and national concern; 
Whereas the prevalence of runaway and homeless youth in 
the Nation is staggering, with studies suggesting that be-
tween 1,600,000 and 2,800,000 young people live on the 
streets of the United States each year; 
Whereas running away from home is widespread, with 1 out 
of every 7 children in the United States running away be-
fore the age of 18; 
Whereas youth that end up on the streets or in emergency 
shelters are often those who have been thrown out of 
their homes by their families; who have been physically, 
sexually, or emotionally abused at home; who have been 
discharged by State custodial systems without adequate 
transition plans; who have lost their parents through 
death or divorce; and who are too poor to secure their 
own basic needs; 
Whereas the commemoration of National Runaway Preven-
tion Month will encourage all sectors of society to develop 
community-based solutions to prevent runaway and 
homeless episodes among the Nation’s youth;
•HRES 1009 EH 
Whereas effective programs that support runaway and home-
less youth and assist young people in remaining at home 
succeed because of partnerships created among families, 
community-based human service agencies, law enforce-
ment agencies, schools, faith-based organizations, and 
businesses; 
Whereas the future well-being of the Nation is dependent on 
the value placed on young people and the opportunities 
provided for youth to acquire the knowledge, skills, and 
abilities necessary to develop into safe, healthy, and pro-
ductive adults; 
Whereas Congress supports an array of community-based 
support services that address the critical needs of run-
away and homeless youth, including family strengthening, 
street outreach, emergency shelter, and transitional living 
programs; 
Whereas Congress supports programs that provide crisis 
intervention and referrals to reconnect runaway and 
homeless youth to their families and to link young people 
to local resources that provide positive alternatives to 
running away; and 
Whereas the purpose of National Runaway Prevention Month 
in November 2006 is to increase public awareness of the 
life circumstances of youth in high-risk situations and the 
need for safe and productive alternatives, resources, and 
supports for youth, their families, and their communities: 
Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives supports ef-
forts to promote greater public awareness of effective run-
away youth prevention programs and the need for safe and
•HRES 1009 EH 
productive alternatives, resources, and supports for homeless 
youth and youth in other high-risk situations.
