H. Res. 1294 
In the House of Representatives, U. S., 
June 26, 2008. 
Whereas Americans are living longer and the cost of retire-
ment continues to rise, in part because the number of 
employers providing retiree health coverage continues to 
decline, and retiree health care costs continue to increase 
at a rapid pace; 
Whereas Social Security remains the bedrock of retirement 
income for the great majority of the people of the United 
States, but was never intended by Congress to be the sole 
source of retirement income for families; 
Whereas recent data from the Employee Benefit Research In-
stitute indicates that, in the United States, less than 2⁄3 
of workers or their spouses are currently saving for re-
tirement and that the actual amount of retirement sav-
ings of workers lags far behind the amount that will be 
needed to adequately fund their retirement years; 
Whereas many workers may not be aware of their options for 
saving for retirement or may not have focused on the im-
portance of, and need for, saving for their own retire-

H. Res. 1296 
In the House of Representatives, U. S., 
July 24, 2008. 
Whereas millions of American children and youth represent 
the hopes and future of our Nation; 
Whereas numerous individuals, children’s organizations, and 
youth-serving organizations that work with children and 
youth collaborate to provide invaluable services to enrich 
and better the lives of the young; 
Whereas heightening awareness of and increasing support for 
organizations that provide access to healthcare, social 
services, education, the arts, sports, and other services 
will assist in the development of character and the future 
success of our Nation’s youth; 
Whereas the President issued a proclamation on May 30, 
2008, proclaiming June 1, 2008 as National Child’s Day 
to demonstrate a commitment to our youth; 
Whereas September is a time when parents, families, teach-
ers, school administrators, and communities in general 
increase their focus on children and youth nationwide as 
the school year begins; 
Whereas September is a time for the people of the United 
States as a whole to highlight and be mindful of the 
needs of children and youth;
