•HRES 722 IH 
Whereas oral health diseases, including dental caries and pe-
riodontal disease, are largely preventable; 
Whereas the effective treatment and prevention of such dis-
eases are substantially aided by access to highly trained 
dental primary care professionals; 
Whereas the Academy of General Dentistry was officially in-
corporated in 1952, with the mission to serve as the pre-
mier resource for general dentists committed to improv-
ing patient care through lifelong learning and continuing 
education; 
Whereas the Academy of General Dentistry has grown to rep-
resent over 33,000 general dentists who provide primary 
care oral health care services; 
Whereas the Academy of General Dentistry encourages excel-
lence in continuing education and professionalism 
through its earned professional designation programs 
known as Mastership, Fellowship and Lifelong Learning 
and Service Recognition; and 
Whereas the Academy of General Dentistry has signed a 
memorandum of understanding with the Department of 
Health and Human Services to help improve the oral 
health status of Americans and achieve the objectives of

H. Res. 484
In the House of Representatives, U.S., 
October 25, 2005.
Whereas preventing young people from running away and 
supporting homeless youth and youth in other high-risk 
situations is a family, community, and national concern; 
Whereas the prevalence of runaway and homeless youth in 
the Nation is staggering, with studies suggesting that be-
tween 1,600,000 and 2,800,000 young people live on the 
streets of the United States each year; 
Whereas running away from home is widespread, with 1 out 
of every 7 children in the United States running away be-
fore the age of 18; 
Whereas youth that end up on the streets or in emergency 
shelters are often those who have been thrown out of 
their homes by their families; who have been physically, 
sexually, or emotionally abused at home; who have been 
discharged by State custodial systems without adequate 
transition plans; who have lost their parents through 
death or divorce; and who are too poor to secure their 
own basic needs; 
Whereas providers of services to runaway and homeless youth 
are experiencing increased demand for services due to the 
displacement of youth and families in the aftermath of 
Hurricanes Katrina and Rita;
•HRES 484 EH 
Whereas the commemoration of National Runaway Preven-
tion Month will encourage all sectors of society to develop 
community-based solutions to prevent runaway and 
homeless episodes among the Nation’s youth; 
Whereas effective programs that support runaway and home-
less youth and assist young people in remaining at home 
succeed because of partnerships created among families, 
community-based human service agencies, law enforce-
ment agencies, schools, faith-based organizations, and 
businesses; 
Whereas the future well-being of the Nation is dependent on 
the value placed on young people and the opportunities 
provided for youth to acquire the knowledge, skills, and 
abilities necessary to develop into safe, healthy, and pro-
ductive adults; 
Whereas Congress supports an array of community-based 
support services that address the critical needs of run-
away and homeless youth, including family strengthening, 
street outreach, emergency shelter, and transitional living 
programs; 
Whereas Congress supports programs that provide crisis 
intervention and referrals to reconnect runaway and 
homeless youth to their families and to link young people 
to local resources that provide positive alternatives to 
running away; and 
Whereas the purpose of National Runaway Prevention Month 
in November 2005 is to increase public awareness of the 
life circumstances of youth in high-risk situations and the 
need for safe and productive alternatives, resources, and 
supports for youth, their families, and their communities: 
Now, therefore, be it
•HRES 484 EH 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives supports ef-
forts to promote greater public awareness of effective run-
away youth prevention programs and the need for safe and 
productive alternatives, resources, and supports for homeless 
youth and youth in other high-risk situations.
Attest:
Clerk.
•HRES 722 IH 
(2) the House of Representatives recognizes the 
Academy of General Dentistry and the organiza-
tion’s members for their role in promoting excellence 
in continuing dental education, for promoting high 
standards of training and professionalism in the 
field of primary dental care, and for helping to ad-
dress the treatment and prevention of oral health 
disease.

Whereas many youth sports organizations gather at local 
parks and recreation facilities across the country; and 
Whereas designating the second week in July as National 
Youth Sports Week would raise awareness of the impor-
tant physical and emotional benefits of participating in 
youth sports and the need to promote sportsmanship 
among players, parents, coaches, and officials: Now, 
therefore, be it
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Represent-
atives that a National Youth Sports Week should be estab-
lished to promote awareness of the importance of youth 
sports and the need to restore the focus in youth sports on 
the child’s experience and character development.

In the House of Representatives, U. S.,

Whereas the United States Congress and the President are 
on record as declaring that the atrocities being com-
mitted in Darfur, Sudan are genocide; 
Whereas the United States has demonstrated leadership on 
the Sudan issue for years, including by mediating Su-
dan’s North-South Peace Agreement, by declaring geno-
cide in Darfur, by providing nearly $1 billion in humani-
tarian assistance over time, and by having United States 
Permanent Representative to the United Nations John 
Bolton, in his first action as President of the United Na-
tions Security Council, request in February 2006 that 
United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan initiate 
contingency planning for a transition from the African 
Union Mission in Sudan (AMIS) to a United Nations 
peacekeeping force; 
Whereas the African Union deployed AMIS to Darfur to 
monitor the violence and, in spite of attacks on AMIS ob-
servers and the fact that the recently improved AMIS 
mandate still does not provide sufficiently for proactive 
protection of civilians, AMIS has been successful in cre-
ating pockets of security for displaced persons simply 
through its presence;

Whereas the Red Ribbon Campaign is nationally recognized

Whereas the objective of Red Ribbon Week is to promote 
drug-free communities through drug prevention efforts, 
education, parental involvement, and community wide 
support; 
Whereas drug and alcohol abuse contributes to domestic vio-
lence and sexual assaults, and places the lives of children 
at risk;
•HRES 485 EH 
Whereas drug abuse is one of the major challenges our Na-

Whereas emerging drug threats, such as the growing epi-

jeopardize 
the

Whereas parents, youth, schools, businesses, law enforcement
