H. Con. Res. 158 
Agreed to February 23, 2010
One Hundred Eleventh Congress 
of the 
United States of America 
AT THE SECOND SESSION 
Begun and held at the City of Washington on Tuesday, 
the fifth day of January, two thousand and ten 
Concurrent Resolution 
Whereas in 2009, 1,479,350 new cases of cancer will be diagnosed 
in the United States; 
Whereas the most common types of cancer in the United States 
are nonmelanoma skin cancer, breast cancer in women, prostate 
cancer in men, lung cancer, and colorectal cancers; 
Whereas one out of every eight women in the United States will 
develop breast cancer in her lifetime; 
Whereas incidence of breast cancer in young women is much lower 
than in older women, and young women’s breast cancers are 
generally more aggressive and result in lower survival rates; 
Whereas breast cancer currently takes the life of one woman in 
the United States every 13 minutes; 
Whereas in 2009, 192,370 women in the United States will be 
diagnosed with invasive breast cancer; 
Whereas there is currently no known cure for metastatic breast 
cancer; 
Whereas many oncologists and breast cancer researchers believe 
that a cure for breast cancer will not be discovered until well 
into the future, if such a cure is possible at all; 
Whereas prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer 
death among men, with over 80 percent of all cases occurring 
in men over age 65; 
Whereas African-American men are diagnosed with the disease 
at later stages and die of prostate cancer more often than do 
white men; 
Whereas in 2009, 1,910 men in the United States will be diagnosed 
with invasive breast cancer; 
Whereas if detected early enough, over three-quarters of those 
who develop cancer could be saved; 
Whereas greater annual awareness of the critical necessity of the 
early detection of breast cancer and other cancers will not only 
save tens of thousands of lives but also greatly reduce the finan-
cial strain on government and private health care services by 
detecting cancer before it requires very expensive medical treat-
ment and protocols; 
Whereas there is a need for enhanced public awareness of cancer 
screening; and
H. Con. Res. 158—2 
Whereas the designation of an Early Detection Month will enhance 
public awareness of breast cancer and all other forms of cancer: 
Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concur-
ring), That the Congress supports the designation of an Early 
Detection Month to enhance public awareness of screening for breast 
cancer and all other forms of cancer. 
Attest: 
Clerk of the House of Representatives. 
Attest: 
Secretary of the Senate.

•HCON 162 IH 
Whereas a patient may perceive mandated care, by a health 
care provider that the patient did not choose, as care that 
does not address the patient’s needs, the patient may be 
then less likely to comply with treatment, which could 
lead to medical complications that end in increased health 
care system costs and diminished results; 
Whereas having good rapport, as well as open and frequent 
communication, with a provider is essential to creating a 
reassuring experience for the patient and will help the 
patient feel confident about the treatment recommended 
by the provider; 
Whereas a strong patient-provider relationship may limit 
overutilization of expensive tests and medical imaging; 
Whereas honest and maintained communication between a 
patient and a provider creates a complete record of the 
patient’s health history, which aids in determining sus-
ceptibility to particular diseases and medical conditions, 
creating a more accurate diagnosis and effective plan for 
treatment; 
Whereas when a medical problem becomes worrisome, pain-
ful, or is difficult to diagnose, it is natural that a patient 
might wish to seek care from a physician, specialist, or 
a medical facility that is known to have particular exper-
tise and a patient who is close to a primary provider is 
more likely to consult that provider to find a specialist 
who most fits the patient’s needs; 
Whereas a patient who has not chosen a provider, and a posi-
tive relationship does not exist with the provider, is more 
likely to ‘‘physician shop’’ which may result in delayed 
care or inadequate service; and

Whereas a patient that respects, trusts, and positively relates 
to a health care provider will be more likely to seek con-
sistent and preventive care and, without these, a patient’s 
treatment of disease or chronic illnesses is likely to wors-
en and medical complications may quickly arise: Now, 
therefore, be it 
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate 
concurring), That the Congress— 
(1) commits to uphold a patient’s right to 
choose the patient’s health care provider; and 
(2) recognizes that patient choice results in— 
(A) higher quality of patient care; 
(B) lower overall costs; and 
(C) more effective treatment outcomes.

Whereas throughout its more than four decades of existence, 
Job Corps has successfully provided the Nation’s eco-
nomically disadvantaged youth with critical residential, 
academic, and vocational services; 
Whereas Job Corps is considered the Nation’s largest and 
most successful high school dropout recovery and youth 
empowerment program; 
Whereas youth enrolled in Job Corps, receive intensive aca-
demic remediation, gain employability, learn life skills, 
and receive job placement assistance; 
Whereas Job Corps builds the lives of youth, many of whom 
are high school dropouts, read slightly below the 8th 
grade reading level, and have never held a full-time job; 
Whereas in an average 8 month stay at Job Corps the vast 
majority of youth leave with a high school diploma or 
equivalency, improve their literacy by more than two 
grade levels, and 75 percent of Job Corps graduates se-
cure employment or enter the military; 
Whereas Job Corps’ successful model of preparing youth in 
the United States has included partnerships and linkages 
with employers and labor representatives; 
Whereas this public-private partnership of American inge-
nuity has led to local and large employers and labor rep-
resentatives providing Job Corps students hands-on, 
practical experience through internships and helping dur-
ing the transition from student to employee; 
Whereas Job Corps students and staff have contributed to 
their communities through millions of hours of commu-
nity service, signaling the importance of giving back to 
the communities in which they live;
•HCON 163 EH 
Whereas dedicated Job Corps staff invest their time and tal-
ents in the lives of students and without whom Job Corps 
could not fulfill its mission; 
Whereas the economic benefits of a local Job Corps center 
generate 100 permanent jobs, thus producing 15,000 
qualified and dedicated staff in 48 States, the District of 
Columbia, and Puerto Rico; and 
Whereas September 23, 2009, would be an appropriate day 
to designate as ‘‘National Job Corps Day’’, in honor of 
the 45th anniversary of Job Corps: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate 
concurring), That Congress— 
(1) supports the designation of ‘‘National Job 
Corps Day’’; and 
(2) encourages State and local governments to 
observe the day with appropriate activities that pro-
