H. Res. 167 
In the House of Representatives, U. S., 
October 6, 2009. 
Whereas each year, States across the Nation formally pro-
claim September as Campus Fire Safety Month; 
Whereas since January 2000, at least 129 people including 
students, parents, and children, have died in student 
housing fires, many of which were preventable; 
Whereas over 80 percent of these deaths have occurred in off- 
campus occupancies; 
Whereas a majority of the students across the Nation live in 
off-campus occupancies; 
Whereas a number of fatal fires have occurred in buildings 
where the fire safety systems have been compromised or 
disabled by the occupants; 
Whereas it is recognized that automatic fire alarm systems 
provide the necessary early warning to occupants and the 
fire department of a fire so that appropriate action can 
be taken; 
Whereas it is recognized that automatic fire sprinkler systems 
are a highly effective method of controlling or extin-
guishing a fire in its early stages, protecting the lives of 
a building’s occupants;
•HRES 167 EH 
Whereas many students are living in off-campus occupancies, 
Greek housing, and residence halls that are not ade-
quately protected with automatic fire sprinkler systems 
and automatic fire alarm systems; 
Whereas it is recognized that fire safety education is an effec-
tive method of reducing the occurrence of fires and re-
ducing the resulting loss of life and property damage; 
Whereas students are not routinely receiving effective fire 
safety education throughout their entire college career; 
Whereas it is vital to educate the future generations of our 
Nation about the importance of fire safety behavior so 
that these behaviors can help to ensure their safety dur-
ing their college years and beyond; and 
Whereas by developing a generation of firesafe adults, future 
loss of life from fires can be significantly reduced: Now, 
therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) supports the goals and ideals of Campus Fire 
Safety Month;

Whereas MRSA is an acronym for methicillin-resistant staph-
ylococcus aureus, which causes deadly infections in pa-
tients in health care facilities and within our commu-

Whereas patient and consumer organizations around the 
globe are lending their voices to the call of world unity 
in leadership and commitment in preventing and stopping

Whereas leading patient and consumer advocates call upon 
health care officials and leaders to step up and take a 
more comprehensive approach to eradicate this prevent-
able disease and focus on a broad and pro-active preven-
tion program; and 
Whereas as an integral part of its multi-faceted program, the 
MRSA Survivors Network, the first consumer organiza-
tion in the United States to raise the alarm concerning 
the MRSA epidemic and other multi-drug resistant 
health care-acquired infections, has announced ‘‘World 
MRSA Day’’, which will be held on October 2, 2010, and 
commemorated each year after on this date, in addition, 
the month of October will also be designated ‘‘World 
MRSA Awareness Month’’ in order to call attention to 
this worldwide epidemic: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives supports 
the designation of World MRSA Day.

H. Res. 1687 
In the House of Representatives, U. S., 
December 7, 2010. 
Whereas the number of runaway and homeless youth in the 
United States is staggering, with studies suggesting that 
between 1,600,000 and 2,800,000 youth live on the 
streets each year; 
Whereas the problem of children who run away from home 
is widespread, as youth between 12 and 17 years of age 
are at a higher risk of homelessness than adults; 
Whereas runaway youth are often expelled from their homes 
by their families, discharged by State custodial systems 
without adequate transition plans, separated from their 
parents by death and divorce, or physically, sexually, and 
emotionally abused at home; 
Whereas runaway youth are often too poor to secure their 
own basic needs and are ineligible or unable to access 
adequate medical or mental health resources; 
Whereas effective programs that provide support to runaway 
youth and assist them in remaining at home with their 
families can succeed through partnerships created among 
families, community-based human service agencies, law 
enforcement agencies, schools, faith-based organizations, 
and businesses;
•HRES 1687 EH 
Whereas preventing youth from running away from home and 
supporting youth in high-risk situations is a family, com-
munity, and national priority; 
Whereas the future of the Nation is dependent on providing 
opportunities for youth to acquire the knowledge, skills, 
and abilities necessary to develop into safe, healthy, and 
productive adults; 
Whereas the National Network for Youth and its members 
advocate on behalf of runaway and homeless youth and 
provide an array of community-based support to address 
their critical needs; 
Whereas the National Runaway Switchboard provides crisis 
intervention and referrals to reconnect runaway youth 
with their families and link youth to local resources that 
provide positive alternatives to running away from home; 
and 
Whereas during the month of November, the National Net-
work for Youth and the National Runaway Switchboard 
are cosponsoring National Runaway Prevention Month, 
in order to increase public awareness of the cir-
cumstances faced by youth in high-risk situations and to 
address the need to provide resources and support for 
safe, healthy, and productive alternatives for at-risk 
youth, their families, and their communities: Now, there-
fore, be it
•HRES 1687 EH 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives recognizes 
and supports the goals and ideals of National Runaway Pre-

Mr. COSTA submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the 
Committee on Oversight and Government Reform 
RESOLUTION 
Recognizing the City of Fresno, California, as it celebrates 
its 125th anniversary. 
Whereas the City of Fresno has grown from an early Western 
settlement incorporated in 1885 to the fifth largest and 
one of the fastest growing cities within the State of Cali-
fornia, the 35th largest State in the Nation; 
Whereas development on the land that is now the City of 
Fresno was initiated by land speculation and the Central 
Pacific Railroad’s decision to build a train station in 
Fresno; 
Whereas the small town began to thrive by 1874 as settlers 
began to arrive by railroad and establish businesses; 
Whereas Fresno’s strong, agriculturally based economy of-
fered opportunity and hope to early settlers and the first

wave of immigrants encouraged family and friends to join 
them in this land of promise; 
Whereas in the years following incorporation, the City of 
Fresno witnessed unparalleled development, undergoing a 
metamorphosis from pioneer town to major city marked 
by an ornate and thriving downtown that transformed the 
cityscape, and an expansion to create new residential 
neighborhoods, such as ‘‘Forkner’s Fig Gardens’’ that 
still stands today; 
Whereas the City of Fresno is now a global leader in agri- 
business and a trailblazer in green industries, such as 
water technology and renewable energy; 
Whereas the City of Fresno is a focal point for banking, 
trade, health care, education, and the cultural arts of the 
San Joaquin Valley, the hub of a region rich in heritage, 
agriculture, resources, and people; 
Whereas the City of Fresno is proud to serve as the gateway 
to three major national parks, Yosemite, Sequoia, and 
Kings Canyon National Parks; 
Whereas the City of Fresno celebrates its diversity in the 
more than 65 nationalities that have, over the past 12 
decades, incorporated their lifestyles and culture into the 
cultural mainstream of Fresno; and 
Whereas the City of Fresno will celebrate its 125th anniver-
sary on October 7, 2010: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives—
