RESOLUTION
Commemorating the dedication and sacrifices of the men
and women of the United States who were killed or
disabled while serving as law enforcement officers.
Whereas the well-being of all citizens of the United States is
preserved and enhanced as a direct result of the vigilance
and dedication of law enforcement personnel;
•HRES 116 IH
Whereas more than 700,000 law enforcement officers, both
men and women, at great risk to their personal safety,
serve their fellow citizens as guardians of peace;
Whereas these peace officers are on the front line in pre-
serving the right of the children of the United States to
receive an education in a crime-free environment, a right
that is all too often threatened by the insidious fear
caused by violence in schools;
Whereas 151 peace officers lost their lives in the line of duty
in 2000, and a total of nearly 15,000 men and women
serving as peace officers have made that supreme sac-
rifice;
Whereas every year, 1 in 9 peace officers is assaulted, 1 in
25 is injured, and 1 in 4,400 is killed in the line of duty;
Whereas on May 15, 2001, more than 15,000 peace officers
are expected to gather in the Nation’s Capital to join
with the families of their recently fallen comrades to
honor those comrades and all others who went before
them; and
Whereas a Peace Officers Memorial Day on May 15, 2001,
would honor Federal, State, and local law enforcement
officers killed or disabled in the line of duty: Now, there-
fore, be it
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Rep-
resentatives that—
(1) there should be established a Peace Officers
Memorial Day to honor Federal, State, and local law
enforcement officers killed or disabled in the line of
duty; and
•HRES 116 IH
(2) the President should issue a proclamation
calling upon the people of the United States to
honor and recognize such officers with appropriate
ceremonies and respect.

Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that oversight hearings
should be held immediately to determine the causes and outcomes sur-
rounding this influenza season’s vaccine shortage.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
JANUARY 3, 2001
Mr. CONDIT submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the
Committee on Energy and Commerce
RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that
oversight hearings should be held immediately to deter-
mine the causes and outcomes surrounding this influenza
season’s vaccine shortage.
Whereas the United States has been faced with a shortage
of influenza vaccine from manufacturers during this in-
fluenza season;
Whereas influenza vaccine is the best preventative measure
against influenza;
Whereas the most at risk populations were not immunized at
the optimal time (early October), as recommended by
health officials;
•HRES 11 IH
Whereas influenza seasons are unpredictable and can be dev-
astating to the health and well-being of all populations,
regardless of age;
Whereas all influenza vaccines are privately manufactured;
Whereas opportunity exists for distributors of influenza vac-
cine to reap large profits in times of shortage by serv-
icing the highest bidder before their contractual agree-
ments or those most in need;
Whereas the State of California contracted with General
Injectables and Vaccines on February 24, 2000, for
700,000 doses of influenza vaccine at $17.99 per vial
with expectations of receiving its entire shipment by Sep-
tember 15, 2000, but did not receive the balance until
the end of November 2000;
Whereas the State of Maine contracted with General
Injectables and Vaccines in late June 2000 for 123,000
doses of influenza vaccine at $31.00 and $39.00 per vial
and received its entire order by early September 2000;
and
Whereas the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has
implored distributors of influenza vaccine to send their
product to those most in need per CDC guidelines: Now,
therefore, be it
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Rep-
resentatives that oversight hearings should be convened
immediately to determine—
(1) the course of action followed by distributors
of influenza vaccine during this influenza season;
•HRES 11 IH
(2) whether or not such distributors put profit
ahead of the health and well-being of the American
people; and
(3) whether it is necessary to take measures to
ensure the safe, adequate, and timely supply of in-
fluenza vaccines in the future.

public of China’s killed at least 42 people, including 37
children;
Whereas the children, all between the ages of 9 and 11, were
being forced by elementary school officials to manufac-
ture fireworks when this tragedy occurred;
Whereas the parents of the deceased children report that the
mandatory labor, which involved mounting fuses and det-
onators into large firecrackers, had been a daily practice
at the school for years;
Whereas this systematic exploitation of children in the ele-
mentary school was not only known about but actually
organized by individuals holding official responsibilities
with the local Chinese Government;
Whereas this practice is a grave violation of the rights of chil-
dren under the International Labor Organization’s Con-
ventions 138 and 182, as well as Convention 29 on
Forced Labor; and
Whereas Chinese Prime Minister Zhu Rongji has taken the
important step of acknowledging these violations of inter-
nationally recognized labor standards: Now, therefore, be
it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives—
(1) expresses its sincerest condolences to the
families of the 42 people killed in the March 6,
2001, explosion at the Fanglin elementary school in
the Jianxi province of the People’s Republic of
China, including to the parents and families of the
37 young children who lost their lives as a result of
this dangerous and forced child labor;

Urging cemeteries to maintain the flags placed on the grave sites of American
veterans on Memorial Day through at least May 31.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
APRIL 24, 2001
Mr. GRUCCI (for himself and Mr. ENGLISH) submitted the following
resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Veterans’ Affairs
RESOLUTION
Urging cemeteries to maintain the flags placed on the grave
sites of American veterans on Memorial Day through
at least May 31.
Whereas Decoration Day (now Memorial Day), which became
a Federal holiday in 1888, was established to allow Civil
War veterans who were employed by the Federal Govern-
ment to pay their respects to those who gave their lives
in the conflict, without losing a day’s pay;
Whereas it was the intent of Congress that Memorial Day be
a time to reflect on our hard earned freedom and to pay
our respects to those men and women who gave their
lives to preserve that freedom;
Whereas, in 1968, Memorial Day was changed by law from
its traditional date of May 30th to the last Monday of
May;
•HRES 120 IH
Whereas the true meaning of Memorial Day has been too
often lost to commercialism, leisure, and recreation;
Whereas, on Memorial Day, our Nation’s flag is placed on
the graves of our fallen veterans to honor their bravery
and supreme sacrifice;
Whereas many cemeteries remove flags from the graves of
veterans immediately after the observation of Memorial
Day; and
Whereas there is no more fitting remembrance of veterans
and their service to this Nation than the flag upon their
place of rest: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives —
(1) urges all cemeteries to maintain the Amer-
ican flags placed on the graves of veterans on Memo-
rial Day until at least May 31, the day after the
original date of Decoration Day, except in the case
of inclement weather; and
(2) encourages all cemeteries to create partner-
ships with local veterans’ organizations to allow vet-
erans to respectfully assist in the removal of the
flags.

H. Res. 124
In the House of Representatives, U.S.,
June 20, 2001.
Whereas national evidence indicates that America’s youth are
faced with oppressive issues, such as violence, drugs,
abuse, and even family stress, causing the future of the
youth of the United States, and therefore the future of
the Nation, to be at risk;
Whereas youth in America, regardless of their economic sta-
tus, ethnic or cultural heritage, or geographic location,
are experiencing the pressures caused by contemporary
society;
Whereas although Americans realize the challenges of today’s
busy lifestyles and balancing work schedules and youth
activities, they remain committed to education, physical
fitness, and civic-mindedness;
Whereas it is imperative that the people of the United States
act willfully and purposely to secure a positive future for
the Nation by devoting time to youth, sharing traditions,
and communicating values to children in an effort to sus-
tain ongoing relationships with caring adults;
Whereas America’s Promise—The Alliance for Youth, found-
ed by Secretary of State Colin L. Powell, is one of the
Nation’s most comprehensive nonprofit organizations
dedicated to building and strengthening the character
•HRES 124 EH
and competence of youth by mobilizing the Nation to ful-
fill the organization’s ‘‘Five Promises’’ for young people:
(1) ongoing relationships with caring adults;
(2) safe places with structured activities during non-
school hours;
(3) a healthy start and future;
(4) marketable skills through effective education;
and
(5) opportunities to give back through community
service;
Whereas the citizens of the United States will celebrate
American Youth Day and encourage all youth organiza-
tions to participate annually on a Saturday near the be-
ginning of the school year; and
Whereas American Youth Day will provide opportunities for
America’s youth to reclaim the values which foster trust
and build better communication and which will encourage
parents, grandparents, and extended families to recognize
the importance of being involved in the physical and emo-
tional lives of their children: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives—
(1) recognizes the importance of youth to the future
of the United States;
(2) supports the goals and ideas of American Youth
Day; and
(3) encourages the people of the United States to
participate in local and national activities that seek to
