Whereas during this period business aircraft alone conducted 
more than 700 flights to assist Haiti, transporting 3,500 
passengers and over 1,000,000 pounds of cargo and sup-
plies; 
Whereas relief flights to assist Haiti were fully paid for by 
individual general aviation pilots and aircraft owners; 
Whereas smaller general aviation aircraft were able to deliver 
supplies and medical personnel to areas of Haiti outside 
of Port-Au-Prince, which larger aircraft could not serve; 
and 
Whereas the selfless efforts of the general aviation commu-
nity have saved countless lives in Haiti and provided hu-
manitarian assistance in a time of need: Now, therefore, 
be it 
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate 
concurring), That Congress— 
(1) recognizes the many contributions made by 
general aviation pilots and operators to the Haiti 
earthquake relief efforts; and 
(2) encourages the continued generosity of gen-
eral aviation pilots and operators in ongoing human-

Whereas ‘‘In God We Trust’’ is the official motto of the 
United States; 
Whereas the sentiment, ‘‘In God We Trust’’, has been an in-
tegral part of United States society since its founding; 
Whereas in times of national challenge or tragedy, the people 
of the United States have turned to God as their source 
for sustenance, protection, wisdom, strength, and direc-
tion; 
Whereas the Declaration of Independence recognizes God, our 
Creator, as the source of our rights, ‘‘We hold these 
truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, 
that they are endowed by their Creator with certain 
unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and 
the pursuit of happiness.’’; 
Whereas the national anthem of the United States says 
‘‘praise the power that hath made and preserved us a na-
tion . . . and this be our motto: in God is our trust.’’; 
Whereas the words ‘‘In God We Trust’’ appear over the en-
trance to the Senate Chamber and above the Speaker’s 
rostrum in the House Chamber; 
Whereas the oath taken by all Federal employees, except the 
President, states ‘‘I will well and faithfully discharge the 
duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help 
me God.’’; 
Whereas John Adams said, ‘‘Statesmen may plan and specu-
late for Liberty, but it is Religion and Morality alone, 
which can establish the Principles upon which Freedom 
can securely stand.’’; 
Whereas if religion and morality are taken out of the market-
place of ideas, the very freedom on which the United 
States was founded cannot be secured;

CONCURRENT RESOLUTION 
Whereas arts education, comprising a rich array of disciplines 
including dance, music, theatre, media arts, literature, 
design, and visual arts, is a core academic subject and an 
essential element of a complete and balanced education 
for all students; 
Whereas according to Albert Einstein, ‘‘After a certain high 
level 
of 
technical 
skill 
is 
achieved, 
science
•HCON 275 EH 
and art tend to coalesce in esthetics, plasticity, and form. 
The greatest scientists are artists as well.’’; 
Whereas arts education enables students to develop critical 
thinking and problem solving skills, imagination and cre-
ativity, discipline, alternative ways to communicate and 
express ideas, and cross-cultural understanding, which 
supports academic success across the curriculum as well 
as personal growth outside the classroom; 
Whereas the nonprofit arts sector contributes to the economy 
and plays an important role in the economic health of 
communities large and small with direct expenditures of 
wages and benefits as well as goods and services; 
Whereas to succeed in today’s economy, students must mas-
terfully use words, images, sounds, and movement to 
communicate; 
Whereas as the Nation works to strengthen its foothold in 
the 21st century global economy, the arts equip students 
with a creative, competitive edge; 
Whereas where schools and communities are delivering high- 
quality learning opportunities in, through, and about the 
arts for children, extraordinary results occur; 
Whereas studies have shown that schools with large popu-
lations of students in poverty can be transformed into vi-
brant hubs of learning through arts education; 
Whereas studies have also found that eighth graders from 
underresourced environments who are highly involved in 
the arts have better grades, less likelihood of dropping 
out by grade ten, have more positive attitudes about 
school, and are more likely to go onto college;
•HCON 275 EH 
Whereas attracting and retaining the best teachers is vital 
and can be achieved by ensuring that schools embrace the 
arts, becoming havens for creativity and innovation; 
Whereas arts education has the power to make students want 
to learn not just within the arts, but other areas of 
study; 
Whereas art is integral to the lives of many United States 
citizens and can improve the vitality of communities and 
the Nation; and 
Whereas the week beginning on the second Sunday of Sep-
tember would be an appropriate week to designate as 
Arts in Education Week: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate 
concurring), That Congress— 
(1) supports the designation of Arts in Edu-
cation Week; 
(2) calls on governors, mayors, and other elect-
ed officials from across the United States to issue 
proclamations to raise awareness of the value and 
importance of arts in education; and
