Whereas, on July 20, 1973, Bruce fell into a coma as a result 
of taking pain medication to combat a minor headache. 
Unfortunately, Bruce would not live to see the opening 
of his film, ‘‘Enter the Dragon’’, nor would he experience 
the accumulated success of almost 40 years of all his 
films’ popularity; 
Whereas the popularity of Bruce’s films sparked a national 
and international interest in the study of the martial arts 
and the genre of the martial arts action film, creating a 
proliferation of films and schools, and inspiring many 
youths to become more physically fit and philosophically 
minded in their daily lives; 
Whereas Bruce Lee has been remembered today in many 
ways, having been named one of Time magazine’s 100 
most important people of the 20th century, given a star 
on the Hollywood walk of fame, and honored on postage 
stamps in 8 countries around the world; 
Whereas even after Bruce Lee’s death, the Bruce Lee Foun-
dation, a nonprofit 501(c)(3) tax exempt organization 
formed by his wife and daughter, enriches lives, open

the face of adversity, unwavering humanism, mental and 
physical perseverance, and inspirational presence of mind 
toward the betterment of our global community; and 
Whereas the Bruce Lee Foundation also applies the legacy of

Whereas approximately 80 percent of Federal workers have 
attended college, compared with approximately 60 per-

Whereas drowning is the third leading cause of unintentional 
injury death, accounting for 7 percent of all injury-re-
lated deaths; 
Whereas water safety education and water safety awareness 
can help curve the number of drowning fatalities; 
Whereas research shows that formal swimming lessons can 
reduce the risk of drowning by 88 percent among chil-
dren aged 1 to 4 years old; 
Whereas courses such as CPR have shown to improve out-
comes for drowning victims since interventions occur 
more quickly; 
Whereas water safety is a life skill that can be taught; and 
Whereas water safety education should be included in pri-

Whereas of the 408,000 children, only 107,000 were eligible

them will be arrested, and 18 to 26 percent of them will 
be incarcerated and will leave the foster system with little

Whereas the overwhelming majority of foster children end up 
in foster care after being removed from an abusive or ne-
glectful household; 
Whereas 7 years old is the average age that children are re-
moved from their homes to enter the foster care system; 
Whereas foster children are more likely to have a disability 
and the occurrence of every disability is 2 to 3 times 
higher among foster children than among those not in 
foster care; 
Whereas it is essential for the United States to recommit 
itself to recognizing the unique needs and experiences of 
foster children and to aid in facilitating permanent place-
ment of these children as well as to encouraging Federal, 
State, and local government, private organizations, and 
the general public to become involved with foster children

children are important and loved; and 
Whereas December 12, 2012, would be an appropriate date

Resolved, That the House of Representatives supports
