Mr. GARY G. MILLER of California submitted the following concurrent

CONCURRENT RESOLUTION 
Congratulating the Surety and Fidelity Association of 
America on its 100th anniversary. 
Whereas the Surety and Fidelity Association of America 
(SFAA) was formed in 1908 as the Surety Association 
of America, and is the association of insurance companies 
that write the vast majority of surety and fidelity bonds 
in the United States; 
Whereas surety and fidelity bonds facilitate commerce, assist 
in economic development, and protect consumers, tax-
payers, and businesses; 
Whereas the SFAA has provided assistance to its members 
in the development of rules, procedures, risk classifica-
tions, and loss costs for surety and fidelity bonds;

Whereas the SFAA has provided valuable services to the 
State insurance regulators in acting as a statistical agent 
and advisory organization for the States; 
Whereas the SFAA has provided valuable services to Federal

mony of surety and fidelity issues; 
Whereas the SFAA has an active development and diversity 
function and has implemented its Model Contractor De-
velopment Program wherever needed to assist small and 
emerging contractors in obtaining bonding; 
Whereas the SFAA continues to develop and change to meet 
new issues in the industry; and 
Whereas the SFAA has provided outstanding service to the 
surety and fidelity industry and taken a leadership role 
in addressing and coordinating industry issues: Now, 
therefore, be it 
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate

Fidelity Association of America on its 100th anniversary.

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
MAY 8, 2008 
Mr. ALEXANDER submitted the following concurrent resolution; which was 
referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce 
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION 
Expressing the sense of Congress that American oil compa-
nies should build additional refining capacity on existing 
refinery campuses. 
Whereas gasoline prices are currently approaching $4.00 per 
gallon in the United States; 
Whereas there is a known shortage of refinery capacity in the 
United States and we are unable to process enough sup-
ply of gasoline to meet the Nation’s demand; 
Whereas the United States is forced to import over 
10,000,000 barrels of crude oil each day; 
Whereas crude oil prices are currently at $120 per barrel 
with no drop in that price in the foreseeable future; 
Whereas the profits of American oil companies are reaching 
record highs;

Whereas no new refineries have been built in the United 
States since 1976 and over 170 refineries have stopped 
operation since then; 
Whereas a stable, steady oil supply and United States refin-
ing capacity is a national security issue; and 
Whereas current refinery capacity is stretched to its limits: 
Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate 
concurring), That it is the sense of Congress that Amer-
ican oil companies should reinvest their profits into build-
ing additional refining capacity on existing refinery cam-
puses so that the United States will become independent 
of foreign refineries and, in effect, to help to reduce the 
current high price of gasoline.

Whereas during World War I, the bloom of red poppies each 
year and the coming of the warm weather brought hope 
to those still fighting in the trenches of France and Bel-
gium; 
Whereas in 1915, the red poppy inspired Canadian Colonel 
John McCrae to write the poem ‘‘In Flanders Fields’’ in 
remembrance of the thousands of soldiers who perished 
during the three battles of Ypres in Belgium; 
Whereas in 1918, John McCrae’s poem inspired Moina Belle 
Michael of Athens, Georgia, to write her own poem enti-
tled ‘‘We Shall Keep the Faith’’, in which she promised 
to wear a red poppy to memorialize American soldiers 
killed in World War I, and later to raise millions of dol-
lars to support and employ disabled American veterans of 
all wars; 
Whereas, on November 11, 1921, the first Poppy Day was 
held in the United Kingdom and was a national success; 
Whereas the red poppy is a symbol of sacrifice throughout 
the world; 
Whereas the red poppy has been worn in the United States 
for more than 84 years as a way to remember those indi-
viduals who died fighting for freedom and democracy 
around the world and to raise money to help disabled vet-
erans; and 
Whereas in 2008, wearing a red poppy on Memorial Day is 
especially timely considering the sacrifices United States 
soldiers are making in Iraq and Afghanistan for freedom, 
democracy, and security: Now, therefore, be it
