H. CON. RES. 391
Recognizing the contributions of Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady
Stanton to the women’s suffrage movement.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
SEPTEMBER 7, 2000
Mr. BOEHLERT (for himself and Ms. SLAUGHTER) submitted the following
concurrent resolution; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Recognizing the contributions of Susan B. Anthony and
Elizabeth Cady Stanton to the women’s suffrage movement.
Whereas Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton were
two of the most influential leaders of the women’s suf-
frage movement;
Whereas many Americans do not realize the contributions
Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton made to
the United States and to the movement for women’s right
to vote;
Whereas Elizabeth Cady Stanton was instrumental in orga-
nizing the first women’s suffrage convention, which took
place on July 19, 1848, in Seneca Falls, New York, and
was attended by 300 women and men, including Lucretia
Mott and Frederick Douglass;
•HCON 391 IH
Whereas at the that convention, 68 women and 32 men
signed the Declaration of Sentiments, drafted by Eliza-
beth Cady Stanton, which outlined the main issues and
goals for the emerging women’s suffrage movement;
Whereas in 1866, Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady
Stanton together formed the American Equal Rights As-
sociation, dedicated to securing the ballot for African
American men and all women;
Whereas in 1869, Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady
Stanton formed the National Woman Suffrage Associa-
tion, a women-led organization devoted to obtaining a
Federal women’s suffrage constitutional amendment;
Whereas although neither Susan B. Anthony nor Elizabeth
Cady Stanton lived to see the day when women were al-
lowed to vote, their relentless years of work should not
be forgotten;
Whereas the 80th anniversary of the passage of the 19th
amendment granting women voting rights was August
26, 2000; and
Whereas the American people will vote on November 7, 2000,
to elect a new President and a new Congress: Now, there-
fore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring), That the Congress—
(1) encourages all Americans to remember the
contributions of Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth
Cady Stanton to women’s suffrage; and
(2) urges the President to issue a proclamation

Expressing the sense of the Congress that a postage stamp should be issued
in recognition of the services rendered by this Nation’s volunteer firefighters.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
SEPTEMBER 7, 2000
Mr. FORBES (for himself, Mr. FOSSELLA, Mrs. CAPPS, Ms. DANNER, Mr.
BROWN of Ohio, Mr. MARTINEZ, Mr. MCNULTY, Mr. HOYER, Mr.
MCGOVERN, Mr. FROST, and Mr. LIPINSKI) submitted the following con-
current resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Government
Reform
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the Congress that a postage stamp
should be issued in recognition of the services rendered
by this Nation’s volunteer firefighters.
Whereas volunteer firefighters, a brotherhood of patriotic
Americans dedicated to saving our communities from the
ravages of fire, place the public health and welfare, and
the security of our homes, schools, and places of worship
ahead of their own personal safety;
Whereas there are over 800,000 volunteer firefighters serving
in the United States;
Whereas 74 percent of our Nation’s fire service is conducted
by volunteers;
•HCON 392 IH
Whereas there are over 22,000 fire departments in the
United States that are staffed in whole or in part by vol-
unteers; and
Whereas these professionally trained men and women have
dedicated thousands of hours of their personal time to
advanced training toward the end of safeguarding the
lives and property of others: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring), That it is the sense of the Congress that the
Citizens’ Stamp Advisory Committee of the United States
Postal Service should recommend to the Postmaster Gen-
eral that a postage stamp be issued to honor the men and
women of the Volunteer Fire Service.

H. CON. RES. 393
Expressing the sense of the Congress in remembrance of the 100th anniver-
sary of the devastating hurricane which struck Galveston, Texas, on
September 8, 1900.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
SEPTEMBER 7, 2000
Mr. LAMPSON submitted the following concurrent resolution; which was
referred to the Committee on Government Reform
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the Congress in remembrance of
the 100th anniversary of the devastating hurricane which
struck Galveston, Texas, on September 8, 1900.
Whereas September 8, 2000, marks the 100th anniversary of
the hurricane that struck Galveston, Texas, on Sep-
tember 8, 1900, the deadliest natural disaster in United
States history;
Whereas at the dawn of the 20th century, an estimated 6,000
people in this thriving port of 37,000—dubbed the ‘‘Wall
Street of the West’’—died in a few hours;
Whereas vast waves, surging flood waters, and powerful
winds of more than 120 miles an hour overtook the town,
in an era without radar, satellites, or modern radio, mak-
ing off-shore hurricanes difficult to track;
•HCON 393 IH
Whereas the residents of Galveston Island showed much cour-
age and sacrifice during the tempest, exemplified by 10
nuns who lost their lives, along with the 90 children they
were trying to save at St. Mary’s Orphanage on the
beach;
Whereas Galveston never lost her resilient spirit, but instead
built a sturdy 17-foot seawall that staved off other fierce
hurricanes, pumped in millions of tons of sand from the
Gulf of Mexico in order to raise the level of the city and
its buildings to a safer height, and became a beautiful
and prosperous town yet again;
Whereas the city of Galveston is this year holding a ceremony
commemorating the hurricane, launching education ef-
forts, and celebrating the rebirth of Galveston after the
storm;
Whereas the Nation, which benefits from modern weather
technology and the lessons learned from the Galveston
tragedy, should never cease to improve hurricane fore-
casting and to make life safer and more secure along the
Nation’s coasts; and
Whereas September 8, 2000, is Galveston Hurricane Remem-
brance Day: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring), That the Congress—
(1) recognizes the historical significance of the
100th anniversary of the hurricane which devastated
Galveston, Texas;
(2) remembers the victims of the Galveston hur-
ricane of 1900; and
•HCON 393 IH
(3) urges the President to issue a proclamation
in memory of the thousands of Galvestonians and
other Americans who lost their lives in the dev-
astating hurricane of 1900 and the survivors who re-
built Galveston, Texas.

Whereas UNSCOM has repeatedly reported to the United
Nations Security Council that Iraq is not in compliance
with the conditions of Resolution 687;
Whereas United Nations Security Council Resolution 986
