H. CON. RES. 298 
Expressing the sense of Congress that the videotaping or photographing 
of police engaged in potentially abusive activity in a public place should 
not be prosecuted in State or Federal courts. 
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
JULY 15, 2010 
Mr. TOWNS submitted the following concurrent resolution; which was referred 
to the Committee on the Judiciary 
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION 
Expressing the sense of Congress that the videotaping or 
photographing of police engaged in potentially abusive 
activity in a public place should not be prosecuted in 
State or Federal courts. 
Whereas prosecutors in several States are applying State 
wiretapping laws in the prosecution of individuals for the 
videotaping of police engaged in potentially abusive activ-
ity; 
Whereas State and Federal wiretapping laws were not in-
tended to be used for such charges; 
Whereas some police departments have been using national 
security as a justification for the harassment, charges, or 
an arrest of individuals, based solely on a citizen record-
ing, with no additional factors considered;

Whereas a study conducted by the U.S. Department of Jus-
tice in 2000 indicated that 22 percent of police officers 
claim their fellow officers sometimes, often, or always use 
excessive force; and 
Whereas the privacy and safety rights of the police officers 
in the line of duty must be balanced carefully with the 
public’s right to transparency and accountability of public 
servants: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate 
concurring), That it is the sense of Congress that— 
(1) citizen recording fills in gaps in existing 
checks against law enforcement abuses, when bal-
anced with the needs of law enforcement, police pri-
vacy, and citizen privacy; 
(2) national security alone is insufficient jus-
tification for harassment, charges, or an arrest for 
otherwise innocent behavior, such as videotaping; 
and 
(3) members of the public have a right to ob-
serve, and if they choose, to make video or sound re-
cordings of the police during the discharge of their 
public duties, as long as they do not physically or 
otherwise interfere with the officers’ discharge of 
their duties, or violate any other State or Federal 
law, intended to protect the safety of police officers, 
in the process of the recording.

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
JULY 21, 2010 
Mr. LUJA´N (for himself and Mr. SALAZAR) submitted the following concurrent 
resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Transportation and 
Infrastructure 
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION 
Recognizing the 40th anniversary of the Cumbres and Toltec 
Scenic Railroad. 
Whereas the Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railroad (C&TSRR) 
was initially constructed in 1880 as part of the narrow 
gauge Denver and Rio Grande Railroad’s San Juan Ex-
tension; 
Whereas the San Juan Extension provided a critical freight 
and passenger transportation link in the Southwest until 
the line was abandoned in 1969; 
Whereas in 1970, the States of New Mexico and Colorado 
jointly purchased the track between Chama, New Mexico, 
and Antonito, Colorado, along with locomotives, cars and 
facilities and renamed it the Cumbres and Toltec Scenic 
Railroad in an effort to preserve the history of the rail-
road and maintain access along the scenic corridor;

Whereas the C&TSRR is recognized as both a national his-
toric site and a historic civil engineering landmark; 
Whereas the C&TSRR traverses the highest railroad pass in 
the country at 10,015 feet and is the highest and longest 
surviving narrow gauge railroad in the United States; 
Whereas the C&TSRR uses steam locomotives dating back to 
the 1920s, including the ‘‘Mudhen’’, once owned by Gene 
Autry; 
Whereas preservation of railroads like the C&TSRR is critical 
to preserving the history of the American interest in ex-
panding our Nation’s railroad system; 
Whereas the C&TSRR continues to serve a critical role for 
the region through attracting tourists and industry in-
cluding serving as a backdrop for over 10 movies includ-
ing Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade; and 
Whereas the C&TSRR Commission will be celebrating 40 
years of railroad co-ownership by New Mexico and Colo-
rado this year: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate 
concurring), That Congress— 
(1) recognizes the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic 
Railroad days; 
(2) acknowledges the critical role of freight and

Mr. KLEIN of Florida submitted the following concurrent resolution; which 
was referred to the Committee on Ways and Means 
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION 
Recognizing the 75th anniversary of the signing of the Social 
Security Act into public law. 
Whereas, on August 14, 1935, President Franklin Delano 
Roosevelt signed the Social Security Act into law, prom-
ising economic security for the elderly, the poor, and the 
sick; 
Whereas, upon signing the Social Security Act into law, 
President Roosevelt declared: ‘‘It is, in short, a law that 
will take care of human needs and at the same time pro-
vide the United States an economic structure of vastly 
greater soundness.’’; 
Whereas Social Security today is widely regarded as the most 
successful social program ever enacted in the United 
States, providing working Americans with a basic level of 
retirement security for 75 years;

Whereas Social Security also offers financial stability to mil-
lions of disabled Americans, their dependents, and the de-
pendents of deceased workers; 
Whereas Social Security is an earned benefit that American 
workers pay into throughout the lifetime of their careers; 
Whereas Social Security provides a guaranteed level of finan-
cial protection for Americans in retirement that cannot 
be assured with private pensions and personal assets 
alone; 
Whereas the privatization of the Social Security system would 
potentially weaken this basic floor of protection by expos-
ing seniors to added financial risks in their retirement 
years; 
Whereas Social Security benefits have remained a stable, reli-
able source of income during the recent economic reces-
sion; 
Whereas studies indicate that, without Social Security bene-
fits, the poverty rate for older Americans would jump 
from 10 to 48 percent; 
Whereas Social Security benefits represent about 40 percent 
of the income of the elderly; 
Whereas 52 percent of the American workforce has no private 
pension coverage and 31 percent of the workforce has no 
savings set aside specifically for retirement; and 
Whereas significant cuts to the Social Security program 
would jeopardize the retirement security of American sen-
iors and the financial stability of disabled Americans, 
their dependents, and the dependents of deceased work-
ers: Now, therefore, be it

Whereas the BP oil spill has threatened the natural resources

out the region, and leading travel indicators point to 
sharp declines in traveler levels, independent of where oil

JULY 27, 2010 
Mrs. LOWEY submitted the following concurrent resolution; which was referred 
to the Committee on Energy and Commerce 
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION 
Expressing the sense of the Congress concerning 
contraceptives for women. 
Whereas the United States has one of the highest rates of 
abortion in the industrialized world, with American 
women experiencing 1.3 million abortions every year; 
Whereas behind almost every abortion in the United States 
is an unintended pregnancy, therefore, efforts to reduce 
unintended pregnancy will reduce the number of abor-
tions; 
Whereas the most effective way to prevent unintended preg-
nancy is to improve access to safe, affordable, effective 
contraceptive methods and to provide medically accurate 
information about how to use such methods; 
Whereas contraceptive use has declined slightly among all 
women and precipitously among low-income women and,

as a result, unplanned pregnancy rates have risen among 
low-income women by 30 percent; 
Whereas a low-income woman today is 4 times as likely to 
have an unintended pregnancy and more than 4 times as 
likely to have an abortion as her higher-income counter-
part; 
Whereas abortion rates have increased among low-income 
women, even as they have continued to decrease among 
more affluent women; and 
Whereas the United States has an impressive capacity for 
marshaling the resources necessary to tackle pressing 
public health problems such as smoking, and the same 
should be done for the problem of unintended pregnancy 
by ensuring universal access to effective and affordable 
contraception: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate 
concurring), That the Congress— 
(1) supports a major, national campaign to help 
all women, regardless of income, avoid unintended 
pregnancy and abortion through access to contracep-
tion; and 
(2) supports programs and policies that make it 
easier for all women not only to obtain contracep-
tives but also to use them consistently and correctly 
over time.
