Whereas in the fall of 2001, during the course of their jobs 
with the United States Postal Service, Joseph Curseen, 
Jr. and Thomas Morris, Jr. were exposed to letters con-
taining anthrax that were placed in the mail and subse-
quently suffered from the inhalation of anthrax and 
thereafter died; 
Whereas 5 individuals in the United States died from expo-
sure to anthrax during the 2001 anthrax attack; 
Whereas in 2002, the United States Postal Service facility lo-
cated at 900 Brentwood Road, NE, Washington, DC, 
was designated as the ‘‘Joseph Curseen, Jr. and Thomas 
Morris, Jr. Processing and Distribution Center’’ by Pub-
lic Law 107–225, introduced by Congresswoman Eleanor 
Holmes Norton and passed unanimously by Congress; 
and 
Whereas issuing a postage stamp to honor the sacrifices of 
these two Federal workers is proper and fitting: Now, 
therefore, be it 
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Rep-
resentatives that— 
(1) a postage stamp should be issued to honor 
Joseph Curseen, Jr. and Thomas Morris, Jr., the 
postal workers who died in the line of duty during

H. Res. 1307 
In the House of Representatives, U. S., 
May 4, 2010. 
Whereas Congress created the National Science Foundation 
in 1950 to promote the progress of science, to advance 
the national health, prosperity, and welfare, and to secure 
the national defense; 
Whereas the National Science Foundation, under the capable 
leadership of its directors, advised by the distinguished 
members of the National Science Board, has worked con-
tinuously and successfully for 60 years to ensure that the 
United States maintains its leadership in discovery, inno-
vation, and learning in science, engineering, and mathe-
matics; 
Whereas the National Science Foundation strengthens the 
economy and improves the quality of life in the United 
States as the Federal Government’s only agency dedi-
cated to the support of fundamental research and edu-
cation in all scientific and engineering disciplines; 
Whereas the National Science Foundation supports a net-
work of 200,000 individuals each year, including sci-
entists, engineers, students, and educators at over 2,000 
colleges and universities, schools, nonprofit organizations, 
science centers and museums, and small businesses 
throughout our Nation, and funds multi-user facilities

tational-wave Observatory, the South Pole Telescope, and 
the United States contribution to the Large Hadron 
Collider; and 
Whereas the research and observations supported by the Na-
tional Science Foundation and conducted in the United 
States in the polar regions and across the planet increas-
ingly contribute to our understanding of the climate: 
Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) recognizes the significance of the anniversary of 
the founding of the National Science Foundation; 
(2) acknowledges that 60 years of National Science 
Foundation achievements and service to the United 
States have advanced our Nation’s leadership in dis-

H. Res. 1310 
In the House of Representatives, U. S., 
May 4, 2010. 
Whereas the invention of the laser was one of the ground-
breaking scientific achievements of the 20th century; 
Whereas in 1953, Charles H. Townes, along with graduate 
students James Gordon and Herbert Zeiger produced the 
first master device, which was a precursor to the laser 
that relied on microwave radiation instead of visible or 
infrared radiation; 
Whereas concurrent to Charles H. Townes’ activities, Nikolay 
Basov and Aleksandr Prokhorov of the Soviet Union 
independently produced a maser with significant technical 
advances which allowed continuous output; 
Whereas Charles H. Townes, Nikolay Basov, and Aleksandr 
Prokhorov shared the 1964 Nobel Prize in Physics for 
their ‘‘fundamental work in the field of quantum elec-
tronics’’, which led to the construction of masers, and 
subsequently lasers; 
Whereas in 1960, Theodore H. Maiman constructed the first 
functioning laser at Hughes Research Laboratories in 
Malibu, California, and the laser was first operated on 
May 16, 1960;
•HRES 1310 EH 
Whereas Theodore H. Maiman was the recipient of the 1983/ 
1984 Wolf Prize in Physics for his realization of the first 
operating laser; 
Whereas since being created in 1960, lasers have become an 
integral and essential part of our daily lives. Lasers can 
be found in a wide range of applications including in 
compact disc players, laser printers, barcode scanners, 
digital video devices (DVDs), industrial welders, and sur-
gical apparatus, amongst others; 
Whereas total global sales of lasers in 2010 is expected to top 
5.9 billion dollars; 
Whereas innovations flowing from basic research such as the 
laser have made America into the world leader in tech-
nology development; 
Whereas continued support of scientific research programs is 
indispensible to maintaining America’s position as the 
global leader in technology and innovation; and 
Whereas LaserFest is a year-long celebration of the 50th an-
niversary intended to bring public awareness to the story 
of the laser and scientific achievement generally, and was 
founded by the following partners: the Optical Society of 
America, the American Physical Society, the Inter-
national Society for Optical Engineering, and IEEE: 
Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) recognizes the 50th anniversary of the laser; 
and
•HRES 1310 EH 
(2) recognizes the need for continued support of sci-
entific research to maintain America’s future competi-
tiveness.

Whereas over 100,000,000 Americans have incomes below 
200 percent of the Federal poverty level and cannot af-
ford essential medications; 
Whereas billions of dollars worth of in-date, usable medicine 
is unnecessarily wasted in the United States health care 
system each year; and 
Whereas pharmaceutical manufacturers’ humanitarianism 
and philanthropy expresses itself in billions of dollars an-
nually in medication that assists low-income Americans: 
Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) encourages pharmaceutical manufacturers, 
health care professionals, and institutions providing 
health care to make charitable donations of Food

donation of medications that the pharmaceutical 
companies donate in good faith to non-profit organi-
zations for ultimate distribution to needy individuals, 
assuming there is no gross negligence or intentional
