Whereas to achieve the goal of the No Child Left Behind Act 
of 2001 (Public Law 107–110) of helping all children 
reach their optimal levels of potential and achievement, 
including children with serious emotional disturbances, 
schools must work to remove the emotional, behavioral, 
and academic barriers that interfere with student success 
in school; 
Whereas in 1999, with the most current data available, the 
Surgeon General’s Report on Mental Health showed that 
fewer than 1 in 5 of the 17,500,000 children in need of 
mental health services actually receive these services, and 
research indicates that school mental health programs 
improve educational outcomes by decreasing absences, de-
creasing discipline referrals, and improving academic 
achievement; 
Whereas school mental health programs are critical to early 
identification of mental health problems and in the provi-
sion of appropriate services when needed; 
Whereas the national average ratio of students to school so-
cial workers recommended by the School Social Work As-
sociation of America is 400 to 1; and 
Whereas the celebration and of ‘‘School Social Work Week’’ 
during the week of February 28 through March 6, 2010, 
highlights the vital role school social workers play in the 
lives of students in the United States: Now, therefore, be 
it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) supports the designation of ‘‘School Social Work 
Week’’;
H. Res. 1086 
In the House of Representatives, U. S.,

Whereas the decennial census is a responsibility of the Fed-
eral Government, mandated by article I, section 2 of the 
Constitution; 
Whereas, in the 2000 Census, 4.3 million people, or 1.5 per-

they were American Indian or Alaska Native; 
Whereas, in the 2000 Census, 2.4 million people, or 1 percent 
of the United States population, stated that they were 
solely American Indian or Alaska Native; 
Whereas Native Americans are the descendants of the ab-
original, indigenous, native people who were the original 
inhabitants of and who governed the lands that now con-
stitute the United States; 
Whereas the 2010 Census data is strictly confidential and 
Federal law prevents the information from being shared 
with any entity; 
Whereas the 2010 Census is quick, safe, and easy to com-
plete; 
Whereas the census is a source of data on a number of issues 
of national importance, such as school attendance, edu-
cational attainment, and employment;
•HRES 1086 EH 
Whereas areas are underserved by the Federal Government 
if significant portions of the population, especially those 
in low-income and minority neighborhoods, fail to partici-
pate in the census; 
Whereas full participation in the census is necessary to en-
sure an accurate depiction of the population of the 
United States; 
Whereas, April 1, 2010, is the date for the 2010 Census; 
Whereas the San Manuel Band Serrano Mission Indians in 
California propose to name an elder to be the first mem-
ber of that community to answer the 2010 Census; 
Whereas it is hoped that the naming of an elder to be the 
first member of that community to answer the 2010 Cen-
sus will encourage other members of that community to 
answer the 2010 Census; 
Whereas it is hoped that each other community within the In-
dian Country will name an elder to be the first member 
of their community to answer the 2010 Census; 
Whereas elders are looked upon as the trusted ones in the 
tribe who will have the most influence in carrying the 
message of how important an accurate 2010 Census 
count is; and 
Whereas elder participation in the 2010 Census count will en-
courage others to participate in the 2010 Census: Now, 
therefore, be it
