H. RES. 673 
Honoring the life of George Eastman and recognizing his contributions on 
the anniversary of his birth. 
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
JUNE 14, 2004 
Ms. SLAUGHTER (for herself, Mr. REYNOLDS, Mr. HOUGHTON, Mr. QUINN, 
Mr. MCDERMOTT, Mrs. MCCARTHY of New York, and Mr. MCNULTY) 
submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee 
on Government Reform 
RESOLUTION 
Honoring the life of George Eastman and recognizing his 
contributions on the anniversary of his birth. 
Whereas George Eastman was born to Maria Kilbourn and 
George Washington Eastman on July 12, 1854, in the 
village of Waterville, New York; 
Whereas as a young teenager, George Eastman overcame ad-
versity and hardship to educate himself while also pro-
viding support for his widowed mother and two sisters; 
Whereas in 1880, after three years of experiments, Eastman 
invented a formula for making photographs from dry 
plates, which quickly led to the development of sensitized 
film;
•HRES 673 IH 
Whereas Eastman’s inventions related to the field of photog-
raphy started a multibillion dollar international corpora-
tion that attracted workers to Rochester, New York, and 
laid the foundation for the growth of the city; 
Whereas when he introduced the Kodak camera in 1888, 
Eastman coined the slogan ‘‘You press the button, we do 
the rest,’’ which within a year became a well-known 
phrase; 
Whereas beyond his inventive genius, Eastman built his busi-
ness demonstrating remarkable foresight in his use of 
management techniques, including offering insurance and 
health and safety programs to his employees; 
Whereas Eastman felt that the prosperity of an organization 
was not necessarily due to inventions and patents, but 
more to workers’ goodwill and loyalty, which in turn were 
enhanced by forms of profit sharing; 
Whereas in 1919, Eastman gave one-third of his own hold-
ings of company stock (then worth $10,000,000) to his 
employees; 
Whereas Eastman is almost as well known for his philan-
thropy as he is for his pioneering work in photography, 
donating more than $100,000,000 of his own money 
(close to $2,000,000,000 in today’s dollars) to charitable 
causes; 
Whereas Eastman said, ‘‘The progress of the world depends 
almost entirely upon education,’’ and supported his state-
ment by giving generously to educational institutions; 
Whereas Eastman began giving to nonprofit institutions when 
his salary was only $60 a week by donating $50 to the 
young and struggling Mechanics Institute of Rochester, 
today know as the Rochester Institute of Technology;
HRES 674 RH 
the Department of Interior and related agencies for the 
fiscal year ending September 30, 2005, and for other pur-
poses. The first reading of the bill shall be dispensed with. 
All points of order against consideration of the bill are 
waived. General debate shall be confined to the bill and 
shall not exceed one hour equally divided and controlled 
by the chairman and ranking minority member of the 
Committee on Appropriations. After general debate the 
bill shall be considered for amendment under the five- 
minute rule. Points of order against provisions in the bill 
for failure to comply with clause 2 of rule XXI are waived 
except as follows: in title I, the sixth proviso under the 
heading ‘‘Wildland Fire Management,’’ the final proviso 
under the heading ‘‘United States Geological Survey, Ad-
ministrative Provisions,’’ and section 113; in title II, the 
fourteenth proviso under the heading ‘‘Wildland Fire 
Management’’ and the final sentence of the sixth para-
graph under the heading ‘‘Administrative Provisions, For-
est Service’’; in title III, section 317, the proviso in section 
319, and sections 324, 328, 331, and 333. Where points 
of order are waived against part of a paragraph or section, 
points of order against a provision in another part of such 
paragraph or section may be made only against such pro-
vision and not against the entire paragraph or section. 
During consideration of the bill for amendment, the Chair-
•HRES 673 IH 
Whereas Eastman strongly supported the University of Roch-
ester and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and 
gave substantial monetary gifts to the Tuskegee Institute 
and Hampton Institute, which provided education to Af-
rican-American men and women; 
Whereas dental clinics were also of great interest to East-
man; 
Whereas boyhood dental health problems inspired Eastman to 
devise plans and provide financial backing for a 
$2,500,000 dental clinic for Rochester; 
Whereas Eastman expanded his dental health programs by 
establishing free dental health clinics in cities where 
Kodak had factories, including New York City, London, 
Paris, Stockholm, Brussels, and Rome; 
Whereas the health problems that his sister Katie endured 
motivated Eastman to give millions of dollars to the Uni-
versity of Rochester’s medical school and its hospitals; 
Whereas Eastman loved music and wanted others to enjoy 
the beauty and pleasures of music; 
Whereas Eastman established and supported the Eastman 
School of Music and its Eastman Theatre, as well as a 
symphony orchestra today known as the Rochester Phil-
harmonic Orchestra; 
Whereas Eastman fundamentally changed the way Americans 
see other countries and cultures by bringing the world to 
people through photographs; and 
Whereas although known by his friends as a modest, unas-
suming man, Eastman was also an inventor, a marketing 
genius, a global visionary, and a philanthropist who left 
an indelible mark on his adopted hometown of Rochester 
and also on the world: Now, therefore, be it
•HRES 673 IH 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives, on be-
half of the American people, honors the life and legacy 
of George Eastman, the father of popular photography, 
and recognizes his contributions on the anniversary of his 
birth.
