Whereas New York City is home to more than 240,000 peo-
ple of Russian descent, with Brighton Beach having one 
of the largest Russian communities in the United States; 
Whereas a 2004 study indicates that many of the history 
textbooks used in New York City high schools lack ade-
quate coverage of Russian history and only teach one 
perspective of Russian history; 
Whereas these errors of omission are predominantly evident 
in the post-Communist era coverage of Russia, specifi-
cally with little or no coverage of President Yeltsin and 
President Putin and often times with no mention of the 
democratic, economic, and social reforms of Russia; and 
Whereas it is in the best interests of United States students 
to advance their understanding of Russian history: Now, 
therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) applauds the efforts of officials of public 
and private schools in the United States who are 
trying to improve the history curriculum in United 
States secondary schools; 
(2) calls on school officials to reexamine their 
history curriculum in order to ensure fair and up-to- 
date teaching of the developments of modern day 
Russia; and

(D) by inserting ‘‘or providing services’’

(2) by adding at the end the following:

ICE SECTOR.— 
‘‘(1) SECRETARY OF LABOR.—Not later than 
90 days after the date of the enactment of the Trade

cludes the number of workers by State, industry,

In the House of Representatives, U.S.,
April 28, 2005.
Whereas intellectual property is the backbone of our Nation’s
economic competitiveness and the only sector where the
United States has a trade surplus with every nation in
the world;
Whereas all nations can use the intellectual property system
to achieve economic growth and cultural development;
Whereas intellectual property plays an important role in an
increasingly broad range of areas, ranging from the
Internet to health care to nearly all aspects of science
and technology and literature and the arts, and under-
standing the role of intellectual property in these areas—
many of them still emerging—often requires significant
new research and study;
Whereas World Intellectual Property Day provides an oppor-
tunity to reflect on how intellectual property touches all
aspects of our lives: how copyright helps bring music to
our ears and art, films, and literature before our eyes,
how industrial design helps shape our world, how trade-
marks provide reliable signs of quality, and how pat-
enting helps promote ingenious inventions that make life
easier, faster, safer—and sometimes completely changes
our way of living;

Whereas World Intellectual Property Day is an opportunity
to encourage young people everywhere to recognize the
creator, the problem-solver, and the artist within them-
selves, because the classrooms of today will produce the
entrepreneurs, the scientists, the designers, and the art-
ists of tomorrow;
Whereas the over-arching objectives for World Intellectual
Property Day 2005 are to reach out to young people
about the importance of intellectual property, to increase
understanding of how protecting intellectual property
rights helps foster creativity and innovation, and to raise
awareness of the importance in daily life of patents, copy-
rights, trademarks, and designs;
Whereas April 26, 1970, was the date on which the Conven-
tion establishing the World Intellectual Property Organi-
zation entered into force;
Whereas in 2000, member states of the World Intellectual
Property Organization established World Intellectual
Property Day to celebrate the contribution made by
innovators and artists to the development and growth of
societies across the globe and to highlight the importance
and practical use of intellectual property in our daily

Whereas April 26, 2005, has been designated as World Intel-
