Mrs. MALONEY of New York (for herself, Mr. KENNEDY of Massachusetts,
and Mr. GONZALEZ) submitted the following resolution; which was re-

RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that
the Bureau of Labor Statistics alone should make any
adjustments, if any are needed, to the methodology used
to determine the Consumer Price Index.
Whereas the Consumer Price Index currently informs our
Nation’s monetary policy and determines both the level of
taxes paid and the amount of government benefits re-
ceived by millions of Americans, many of them on fixed
incomes;
Whereas the Consumer Price Index is assumed in these uses
to be an accurate and appropriate measurement;
Whereas the Consumer Price Index is only useful if it is a
technical, not a political measurement;
•HRES 92 IH
Whereas it is of the utmost importance to maintain the integ-
rity and objectivity of the determination process and of
the reliability of the Federal statistical system; and
Whereas it is the Bureau of Labor Statistics that has the ex-
pertise, tools, resources, and experience to maintain this
integrity and objectivity: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Rep-
resentatives that the Bureau of Labor Statistics alone
should make any adjustments, if any are needed, to the
methodology used to determine the Consumer Price Index.
