IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
SEPTEMBER 29, 1999
Mr. TRAFICANT submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the
Committee on Government Reform
RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that
a postage stamp should be issued honoring William
Holmes McGuffey, author of the McGuffey Readers.
Whereas William Holmes McGuffey, born in Youngstown,
Ohio, was the author of the most influential schoolbooks
in our Nation’s history, the McGuffey Readers;
Whereas using McGuffey’s First Eclectic Reader, a child
learned the alphabet, simple rhymes and stories, spelling,
practical knowledge, and moral lessons;
Whereas among the lessons the McGuffey Eclectic Readers
taught were citizenship, character, conservation, and lit-
eracy;
•HRES 316 IH
Whereas the influence of the McGuffey Eclectic Readers in
forming the minds of 19th century Americans is well-rec-
ognized;
Whereas since the McGuffey Reader was first published in
1836, more than 122 million copies are estimated to have
been sold; and
Whereas the year 2000 will mark the 200th anniversary of
the birth of William Holmes McGuffey: Now, therefore,
be it
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Rep-
resentatives that—
(1) the United States Postal Service should
issue a postage stamp honoring William Holmes
McGuffey, author of the McGuffey Readers; and
(2) the Citizens’ Stamp Advisory Committee
should recommend to the Postmaster General that
such a stamp be issued.

Whereas on September 16, 1999, Hurricane Floyd deposited
up to 18 inches of rain on sections of North Carolina
only days after the damaging rains of Hurricane Dennis;
Whereas Hurricane Floyd continued up the eastern seaboard,
causing flooding and tornadoes in Virginia, Maryland,
Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, and Connecticut;
Whereas Hurricane Floyd is responsible for 66 known deaths,
including 48 confirmed dead in North Carolina alone, as
well as three in New Jersey, two in New York, six in
Pennsylvania, four in Virginia, two in Delaware, and one
in Vermont;
Whereas hundreds of roads along the eastern seaboard re-
main closed as a result of damage caused by Hurricane
Floyd;
Whereas waters contaminated by millions of gallons of bac-
teria, raw sewage, and animal waste have flowed into
homes, businesses, and drinking water supplies due to
septic, pipeline, and water treatment system damage
caused by the flooding associated with Hurricane Floyd,
a situation that poses considerable health risks for indi-
viduals and families in affected States;
•HRES 322 EH
Whereas areas in 10 States were declared Federal disaster
areas as a result of Hurricane Floyd—Connecticut, Dela-
ware, Florida, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, North
Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and Virginia;
Whereas individuals registering for Federal assistance in
States hit by Hurricane Floyd totalled 68,440 as of Sep-

temporary housing or shelters;
Whereas over $2 million in temporary housing grants have
been issued in New York and New Jersey and the resi-
dential loss estimates are over $80 million in North Caro-

Whereas the nature of this disaster deserves the immediate
attention and support of the Federal Government: Now,
therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives—

Whereas our civilization is founded upon the values of hon-
esty, courtesy, and respectful consideration among its
citizens;
Whereas we seek to teach and reaffirm these fundamental
values of civility;
Whereas a lack of civility in recent years has become fright-
eningly apparent, as seen in media tales of road rage and
school violence, of personal deceit and public corruption;
Whereas common courtesy has become bewilderingly uncom-
mon;
Whereas a large part of many Americans’ behavior can be
traced to a failure to honor the codes of civil conduct that
have governed society for many generations;
Whereas the teaching of courtesy has declined while the cele-
bration of vulgarity and effrontery has increased;
Whereas many Americans have ceased to honor the good ex-
amples that surround them;
Whereas in this context, too many people find it easy to
manifest disrespect for other age groups, races, and reli-
gions;
•HRES 324 EH
Whereas National Civility Week, Inc., is a nonpartisan and
nonprofit corporation devoted to reintroducing civility in
our Nation;
Whereas National Civility Week, Inc., has encouraged the es-
tablishment of Civility Weeks in a number of States in
an effort to reaffirm society’s commitment to adhere to
well-established rules of civil conduct;
Whereas National Civility Week, Inc., will honor those who
practice common decency and simple honesty; and
Whereas National Civility Week, Inc., will draw attention to
the behaviors and standards that we respect as a people,
and will celebrate the conduct that ties together the
threads of our social fabric: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives supports
these efforts to restore civility, honesty, integrity, and re-
spectful consideration in the United States.
