Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that Federal Prison
Industries, Inc., should immediately cease taking excess Federal computer
equipment and selling such computer equipment and other excess Federal
property in the commercial market.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
OCTOBER 18, 2000
Mr. HOEKSTRA (for himself, Mr. FRANK of Massachusetts, Mr. COLLINS, and
Mrs. MALONEY of New York) submitted the following resolution; which
was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary
RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that
Federal Prison Industries, Inc., should immediately cease
taking excess Federal computer equipment and selling
such computer equipment and other excess Federal prop-
erty in the commercial market.
Whereas information technology and the Internet are playing
an increasingly important role in driving economic growth
and creating job opportunities for millions of Americans;
Whereas inner city and rural areas need access to this grow-
ing sector of the economy to improve education, spur eco-
nomic development, and create opportunity;
Whereas the Computers for Learning Program, established
by Executive Order 12999 which was issued by President
•HRES 641 IH
Clinton on April 17, 1996, created a program to accel-
erate the transfer of excess Federal computers, related
equipment, and software to schools and other organiza-
tions to help bridge the digital divide for inner city and
rural young people;
Whereas Federal Prison Industries, Inc., a wholly-owned Gov-
ernment corporation established in 1935 to centrally
manage the industrial work programs of the Federal Bu-
reau of Prisons, has now grown to be a chain of over 100
factories in 27 States, employing almost 21,000 inmate
workers;
Whereas on February 2, 1998, a legal memorandum which
was issued by a special counsel in the Office of Enforce-
ment Operations within the Criminal Division of the De-
partment of Justice, found that the general statutory
prohibition in force since 1934 on the sale in interstate
commerce of the results of inmate labor did not apply to
services, permitting Federal Prison Industries, Inc., and
prison industry programs operated by the States and
local governments to sell inmate-furnished services in the
commercial market, reversing interpretations and practice
in place for almost 45 years;
Whereas Federal Prison Industries, Inc., then began to exer-
cise its priority status as a Government-owned corpora-
tion to take for free increasingly large quantities of com-
puters and other equipment no longer needed by the De-
partment of Defense and other executive departments
and agencies;
Whereas takings by Federal Prison Industries, Inc., from the
Department of Defense grew from 4,372 items with a
purchase value of $17,600,000 in fiscal year 1997, to
59,627 items with a purchase value of $480,800,000 dur-

value of almost $890,000,000 during the first nine
months of fiscal year 2000, a more than 5,000 percent
increase;
Whereas Federal Prison Industries, Inc., began to offer these
computers, computer-related equipment, and software for
sale to the general public through retail outlets and
websites in direct, but unfair, competition with small
business owners, contrary to the letter and spirit of the
authorizing statute;
Whereas these takings by Federal Prison Industries, Inc.,
were diverting this Federal computer equipment from
other authorized beneficiaries, including State and local
governments, schools, and not-for-profit community serv-
ice organizations; and
Whereas the Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations
of the Committee on Education and the Workforce of the
House of Representatives held a hearing on September
26, 2000, receiving testimony from a representative of
the Federal Supply Service of the General Services Ad-
ministration, a representative of the Defense Reutiliza-

Agency, the President of the National Association of
State Agencies for Surplus Property, the executive direc-
tor of a not-for-profit organization working to bridge the
digital divide in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and a small
business owner from Florida: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Rep-
resentatives that the Board of Directors of Federal Prison

Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives with regard to Sam

threat to American consumers.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
OCTOBER 19, 2000
Mr. LUTHER (for himself, Mr. BILBRAY, Mr. PICKERING, Mr. FROST, Mr.
GREEN of Texas, Mr. LARGENT, Mr. SHIMKUS, and Mr. OXLEY) sub-
mitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on
Commerce
RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives with
regard to Sam Boyden, who admirably notified transpor-
tation safety officials of a serious threat to American
consumers.
Whereas at least 101 deaths and several hundred injuries in
the United States, and unknown numbers of deaths and
injuries in other countries, have been attributed to tread
separation in ATX, ATX II, and Wilderness AT tires
manufactured by Bridgestone/Firestone Inc. (Firestone)
and installed on the Ford Motor Company’s Explorer and
other vehicles;
Whereas in 1998, Sam Boyden conducted highly effective re-
search producing evidence that certain Firestone tires
•HRES 643 IH
were associated with a high rate of tread separation, al-
though his position at State Farm Insurance did not re-
quire him to conduct such research;
Whereas Sam Boyden voluntarily and without solicitation no-
tified the National Highway Traffic Safety Administra-
tion (NHTSA) of the threat posed to consumers and to
the public by tread separation in certain Firestone tires
and continued to notify NHTSA of these threats even
though NHTSA failed to express interest in the informa-
tion that he sought to provide;
Whereas Sam Boyden’s communications with NHTSA pro-
vided important information to NHTSA’s investigation of
the danger posed to consumers by certain Firestone tires,
contributing to NHTSA’s eventual decision to compile
several thousand reports of tread separation in Firestone
tires in the United States;
Whereas Firestone has recalled approximately 14.4 million
tires due to manufacturing flaws that cause the tire tread
to separate from the tire while the vehicle is in operation;
and
Whereas Sam Boyden gave valuable testimony regarding his
actions to a joint subcommittee hearing of the Committee
on Commerce of the House of Representatives: Now,
therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives—
(1) recognizes Sam Boyden for selflessly per-
forming his job far beyond what was required of
him;
•HRES 643 IH
(2) acknowledges that Sam Boyden’s actions set
in motion a series of events that have educated the
public about a serious threat to their safety; and
(3) commends Sam Boyden for his outstanding
act of citizenship and for setting an exemplary
standard of conduct for all Americans.
