Whereas Dolores Huerta was born on April 10, 1930, in

Whereas Dolores Huerta was raised, along with her 2 broth-

Whereas after earning a teaching credential from Stockton

dents suffer from hunger and poverty;
Whereas Dolores Huerta defied cultural and gender stereo-
types by becoming a powerful and distinguished cham-
pion for farm worker families;
Whereas in addition to her unyielding support for farm work-

Whereas notwithstanding her intensity of spirit and her will-
ingness to brave challenges, Dolores Huerta has always
espoused peaceful, nonviolent tactics to promote her

Whereas Dolores Huerta established her career as a social ac-

Expressing the sense of the Congress supporting Federal
funding of pluripotent stem cell research.
Whereas Federal funds are crucial for researchers to proc
with stem cell research and technologies;
Whereas pluripotent stem cell research does not undermi
the current ban on Federal funding of human embryo re-

Whereas pluripotent stem cells are presursors of special
cells which are destroyed or damaged in many incurabl
diseases and disabilities;
Whereas the ability to use pluripotent stem cells to gen

submitted the following concurrent resolution; which was referred to the
Committee on Government Reform
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the Congress regarding the need
to protect post offices.
Whereas the United States Postal Service has announced
that it may consider closing post offices that do not cover
their costs;
Whereas the Constitution of the United States grants Con-
gress the authority to ‘‘establish Post Offices’’, recog-
nizing that mail services are essential to binding the citi-
zenry of this Nation together;
•HCON 181 IH
Whereas Congress has stated, time and time again, that post
offices should not be closed or consolidated solely for op-
erating at a deficit, it being the intent of Congress that
effective postal services be ensured for all Americans,
whether residing in urban, suburban, or rural commu-
nities;
Whereas many communities have only limited methods of
communication, and rely on the post office to allow them
to correspond with persons elsewhere in the Nation or
around the world; and
Whereas the post office is an essential institution within
every community: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring), That it is the sense of the Congress that the
United States Postal Service—
(1) should provide a maximum degree of effec-
tive and regular postal services to all communities,
including rural areas and small towns where post of-
fices may not be self-sustaining; and
(2) should take all necessary steps to ensure
that post offices are not closed or consolidated.
