Whereas miners and their families have achieved, provided, 
and sacrificed so much for the betterment of their fellow 
Americans; 
Whereas the great mining tragedy at Monongah, West Vir-
ginia, that occurred on December 6, 1907, is recognized 
to this day for causing the greatest loss of lives in Amer-
ican industrial history; 
Whereas that tragedy helped to launch the national effort to 
secure the safety and health of our miners that continues 
to this day; and 
Whereas December 6 would be an appropriate date to observe 
a National Miner’s Day: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate 
concurring), That the House of Representatives— 
(1) supports the goals and ideals of a National 
Miner’s Day to celebrate and honor the contribu-
tions of miners; and 
(2) encourages the people of the United States 
to participate in local and national activities cele-
brating and honoring the contributions of miners.

Expressing the sense of Congress that the global use of child soldiers is

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

Ms. EDDIE BERNICE JOHNSON of Texas (for herself, Mr. HONDA, Mr. LEWIS

CONCURRENT RESOLUTION 
Expressing the sense of Congress that the global use of 
child soldiers is unacceptable and that the international 
community should find remedies to end this practice. 
Whereas the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the 
Child promotes principles in the best interests of the 
child and the United Nations Commission on Human 
Rights, in its Resolution 1999/80 on the Rights of the 
Child, has reaffirmed the urgent need to raise to 18 years 
the current minimum age limit set by article 38 of the 
Convention on the Rights of the Child on the recruitment 
and participation of any persons on armed conflict;

Whereas, despite the efforts of the world community to ad-
dress the effects of war on children, more than 3,000,000 
children under 18 years of age are currently participating 
in armed conflicts worldwide; 
Whereas the Rome Statute of the International Criminal 
Court (1998) characterized as a war crime the con-
scripting to enlist or enlisting of children under the age 
of 15 into the national armed forces of a country or 
using such children to participate actively in hostilities; 
Whereas the General Conference of the International Labor 
Organization adopted Convention 182 (1999) prohibiting 
forced or compulsory recruitment of children under the 
age of 18 for use in armed conflict, and the ILO rec-
ommends in its Recommendation 190 that governments 
also prohibit, as a criminal offense, the use, procuring, or 
offering of a child for activities which involve the unlaw-
ful carrying or use of firearms or other weapons; and 
Whereas the United Nations Security Council adopted Reso-
lution 1261 (1999) condemning the targeting of children 
in situations of armed conflict, including killing and 
maiming, sexual violence, abduction and forced displace-
ment, recruitment and use of children in armed conflict 
in violation of international law, and attacks on objects 
protected under international law, including places that 
usually have a significant presence of children, such as 
schools and hospitals, and calling on all parties concerned 
to put an end to such practices: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
