H. RES. 55
Providing a sense of the House of Representatives that at least one-third
of the budget surplus over the next 10 years should be dedicated to
paying down the national debt of the United States.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
FEBRUARY 11, 1999
Mr. UPTON (for himself and Mr. LAHOOD) submitted the following resolution;
which was referred to the Committee on Ways and Means
RESOLUTION
Providing a sense of the House of Representatives that at
least one-third of the budget surplus over the next 10
years should be dedicated to paying down the national
debt of the United States.
Whereas the current national debt of the United States is
$5.6 trillion;
Whereas in 1997 the Government spent over 15 percent of
its budget to pay interest on the national debt;
Whereas net interest payments amounted to $243 billion last
year;
Whereas interest payments on the national debt for the next
five years are projected to be $977 billion;
•HRES 55 IH
Whereas debt held by the public in 1998 was 44 percent of
Gross Domestic Product;
Whereas a smaller debt would make more credit available for
private sector investment and other productive invest-
ments that would help future economic growth; and
Whereas a smaller debt would also result in lower interest
rates and would increase the level of national savings:
Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That—
(1) in addition to other policy decisions by the
Congress, lowering the national debt must be a cen-
tral element in the debate over the use of projected
budget surpluses; and
(2) at least one-third of the projected budget
surpluses over the next 10 years should be dedicated
to paying down the national debt of the United
States.

Resolved, That at any time after the adoption of this res-

XVIII, declare the House resolved into the Committee of the
Whole House on the state of the Union for consideration of
the bill (H.R. 4871) making appropriations for the Treasury
Department, the United States Postal Service, the Executive
Office of the President, and certain Independent Agencies,
for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2001, and for other
purposes. The first reading of the bill shall be dispensed with.
All points of order against consideration of the bill are

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 consid-
ered 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: page 62,
line 17, through page 63, line 2. During the consideration of

the bill for amendment, the Chairman of the Committee of

whether the Member offering an amendment has caused it to
be printed in the portion of the Congressional Record des-

ments so printed shall be considered as read. The Chairman
of the Committee of the Whole may: (1) postpone until a time

Whereas neighborhood crime watch organizations are effec-

level;
Whereas neighborhood crime watch groups can contribute to
the Nation’s war on drugs by helping to prevent their
communities from becoming markets for drug dealers;
Whereas crime and violence in schools is of continuing con-
cern to the American people due to the recent high-pro-
file incidents that have resulted in fatalities at several
schools across the United States;
Whereas community-based programs involving law enforce-

communities work effectively to reduce school violence
and crime;

which will demonstrate the importance and effectiveness
of community participation in crime prevention efforts by
having people spend the period from 7 to 10 o’clock P.M.
on August 1, 2000, with their neighbors in front of their
homes with their lights on; and
Whereas schools that turn their lights on from 7 to 10
o’clock P.M. on August 1, 2000, would send a positive
message to the participants of ‘‘National Night Out’’ and
would show their commitment to reduce crime and vio-
lence in schools: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Represent-
atives that the President should focus appropriate attention
on the issue of neighborhood crime prevention, community
policing, and reduction of school crime by delivering speeches,
convening meetings, and directing his Administration to make
reducing crime an important priority.
