RESOLUTION 
Expressing support for the second annual America Saves 
Week 2008 from February 24, 2008 through March 2, 2008. 
Whereas America Saves is a 7 year old social marketing cam-
paign in which over 1,000 local, State, and national orga-
nizations have motivated more than 100,000 people to 
enroll as ‘‘American Savers’’ by making a commitment to 
save for a goal of their choice and to develop a plan to 
achieve this goal; 
Whereas, with the national savings rate consistently hovering 
around 0 for the past 6 years, America Saves is the call 
to action that we must not spend all, but save some, of 
our incomes;

Whereas the America Savings Education Council (‘‘ASEC’’) 
a national coalition of public and private-sector institu-
tions founded in 1995 is committed to making saving and 
retirement planning a priority for all Americans; 
Whereas the ASEC actively promotes the savings message 
through its national award winning Choose-to-Save Cam-
paign; 
Whereas, launched in 2001 with one city, Cleveland, Ohio, 
America Saves has now 53 local, State and national cam-
paigns, including Philadelphia Saves, Utah Saves, San 
Diego Saves, New York State Saves, Texas Saves, Kan-
sas City Saves, Milwaukee Saves, Miami Saves, Ten-
nessee Saves, Silicon Valley—South Bay Saves, Military 
Saves, Youth Saves, Black America Saves, Hispanic 
Saves, and America Saves through Homeownership; 
Whereas local activities are being organized in many cities 
and localities around the country that encourage individ-
uals to take action such as opening a savings account for 
emergencies, participating in work place retirement pro-
grams, or setting a goal such as homeownership and es-
tablishing a savings account dedicated for that purpose; 
Whereas America Saves has over 500 financial institutions, 
both banks and credit unions, providing no-fee or low-fee, 
low-opening-balance savings accounts that allow small 
savers to achieve success; 
Whereas, as an example, America Saves has to date enrolled 
8,700 American Savers in the area of Cleveland, Ohio, 
alone, over 10,000 of them have saved or reduced debt 
by an estimated $8,300,000, which is on average 
$600,000 per month;

HR 11 RFS 
SEC. 202. FINDINGS. 
Congress finds the following: 
(1) Women have entered the workforce in 
record numbers over the past 50 years. 
(2) Despite the enactment of the Equal Pay Act 
in 1963, many women continue to earn significantly 
lower pay than men for equal work. These pay dis-
parities exist in both the private and governmental 
sectors. In many instances, the pay disparities can 
only be due to continued intentional discrimination 
or the lingering effects of past discrimination. 
(3) The existence of such pay disparities— 
(A) depresses the wages of working fami-
lies who rely on the wages of all members of the 
family to make ends meet; 
(B) undermines women’s retirement secu-
rity, which is often based on earnings while in 
the workforce; 
(C) prevents the optimum utilization of 
available labor resources; 
(D) has been spread and perpetuated, 
through commerce and the channels and instru-
mentalities of commerce, among the workers of 
the several States; 
(E) burdens commerce and the free flow of 
goods in commerce;
