Supporting the goals and ideals of National Mentoring Month 2009. 
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
JANUARY 9, 2009 
Mrs. DAVIS of California (for herself, Mr. ROGERS of Michigan, Ms. MCCOL-
LUM, Mr. SHERMAN, Mr. GRIJALVA, Mr. KENNEDY, Ms. BORDALLO, Mr. 
EHLERS, Mr. HARE, Mr. HINCHEY, Mr. MOORE of Kansas, Mr. HONDA,

Committee on Education and Labor 
RESOLUTION 
Supporting the goals and ideals of National Mentoring 
Month 2009. 
Whereas mentoring is a longstanding concept in which a de-
pendable, caring adult provides guidance, support, and 
encouragement to facilitate a young person’s social, emo-
tional, and cognitive development; 
Whereas research on mentoring shows that formal, high qual-
ity mentoring focused on developing the competence and 
character of the mentee, promotes positive outcomes such 
as improved academic achievement, self-esteem, social 
skills, and career development;

•HRES 41 IH 
Whereas research on mentoring also indicates strong evidence 
of the success in reducing substance use and abuse, aca-
demic failure, and delinquency; 
Whereas mentoring, in addition to preparing young people for 
school, work, and life, is also extremely rewarding for 
those serving as mentors; 
Whereas more than 4,200 mentoring programs in commu-
nities of all sizes across the United States focus on build-
ing strong, effective relationships between mentors and 
mentees; 
Whereas 3,000,000 young Americans are currently in solid 
mentoring relationships due to the remarkable vigor, cre-
ativity, and resourcefulness of the thousands of men-
toring programs in communities throughout the Nation; 
Whereas in spite of the progress made to increase mentoring, 
our Nation has a serious ‘‘mentoring gap’’ with nearly 
15,000,000 young people currently in need of mentors; 
Whereas public-private mentoring partnerships bring State 
and local leaders together to support mentoring programs 
by preventing duplication of efforts, offering training in 
industry best practices, and helping them make the most 
of limited resources to benefit the Nation’s youth; 
Whereas the designation of January 2009 as National Men-
toring Month will help call attention to the critical role 
mentors play in helping young people realize their poten-
tial; 
Whereas the month-long celebration of mentoring will encour-
age more individuals and organizations, including schools, 
businesses, nonprofit organizations, faith institutions, 
and foundations, to become engaged in mentoring across 
our Nation;

ment of the stars in 9 rows staggered horizontally and 
11 rows of stars staggered vertically; 
Whereas the first celebration of the American flag is believed 
to have been introduced by Bernard Cigrand, a Wis-
consin school teacher, who arranged for his pupils at 
Stony Hill School in Waubeka to celebrate June 14 as 
‘‘Flag Birthday’’ in 1885; 
Whereas on June 14, 1894, the Governor of New York or-
dered that the American flag be displayed at all public 
buildings in the State, prompting many State and local 
governments to begin observing Flag Day; 
Whereas President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed the first na-
tionwide Flag Day in 1916; 
Whereas in 1947, President Harry S. Truman signed legisla-
tion requesting National Flag Day be observed annually; 
Whereas the United States flag is a symbol of our great Na-
tion and its ideals; 
Whereas in times of national crisis, Americans look to the 
United States flag as a symbol of hope, courage, and 
freedom; 
Whereas the United States flag is universally honored; 
Whereas the United States flag honors the men and women 
of the Armed Forces who have given their life in the de-
fense of the United States; 
Whereas the United States flag serves as a treasured symbol 
of the loss of loved ones to the countless families of those 
who died in defense of our Nation; and 
Whereas June 14, 2009, is recognized as Flag Day: Now, 
therefore, be it

H. Res. 421 
In the House of Representatives, U. S., 
June 2, 2009. 
Whereas groups of local citizens and officials in western 
North Carolina and east Tennessee in the 1920s dis-
played enormous foresight in recognizing the potential 
benefits of a national park in the southern Appalachians; 
Whereas the boundaries and location of said park were se-
lected from among the finest examples of the most scenic 
and intact mountain forests in the Southeast; 
Whereas its creation was the product of over two decades of 
determined effort by leaders of communities across west-
ern North Carolina and east Tennessee; 
Whereas the State Assemblies and the Governors of those two 
States exercised great vision in appropriating funding, 
along with the Laura Spellman Rockefeller Memorial 
Fund for the purchase of the over 400,000 acres of pri-
vate lands which had been accumulated; 
Whereas the citizens of surrounding communities generously 
contributed to that land acquisition funding to bring the 
park into being; 
Whereas over 1,100 families and other property owners were 
called upon to sacrifice their farms and homes for the 
benefit and enjoyment of future generations;

Whereas Great Smoky Mountains National Park covers ap-
proximately 521,621 acres of land, in both Tennessee 
and North Carolina making it the largest protected areas 
in the Eastern United States; 
Whereas the park provides sanctuary for the most diverse 
flora and fauna of any national park in the temperate 
United States, and preserves an unparalleled collection of 
historic structures as a ‘‘time capsule’’ of Appalachian 
culture during the 19th and early 20th centuries; 
Whereas, on September 2, 1940, President Franklin D. Roo-
sevelt dedicated Great Smoky Mountains National Park; 
Whereas the Great Smoky Mountains National Park has been 
America’s most popular national park since it opened, 
and now attracts 9,000,000 to 10,000,000 visitors each 
year, making it the most visited of the 58 national parks; 
and 
Whereas park visitors contribute over $700,000,000 each 
year resulting in over 14,000 jobs within the States and 
the surrounding local economies: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) commends the citizens of east Tennessee and 
western North Carolina for their vision and sacrifice; 
(2) commends the Great Smoky Mountains Na-
tional Park and the National Park Service for 75 years 
of successful management and preservation of the park 
land;
