In the House of Representatives, U. S., 
March 19, 2007.
Whereas the concept in the United States of setting aside a 
nationally significant place for the future enjoyment of 
its citizens was first implemented 175 years ago in Hot 
Springs, Arkansas, with the creation of the Hot Springs 
Reservation, which protected 47 area hot springs; 
Whereas the Act that created the Hot Springs Reservation, 
entitled ‘‘An Act authorizing the governor of the territory 
of Arkansas to lease the salt springs, in said territory, 
and for other purposes’’, approved April 20, 1832 (4 
Stat. 505), required that ‘‘the hot springs in said terri-
tory, together with four sections of land, including said 
springs, as near the centre thereof as may be, shall be 
reserved for the future disposal of the United States, and 
shall not be entered, located, or appropriated, for any 
other purpose whatever’’; 
Whereas the Hot Springs Reservation was the first protected 
area in the Nation; 
Whereas the Act creating the Hot Springs Reservation pre-
ceded both the establishment of the Department of the 
Interior in 1849 and the establishment of Yellowstone 
National Park as the first national park in 1872;

Whereas approximately 68,000,000 United States citizens 
lack the adequate level of life insurance coverage needed 
to ensure a secure financial future for their loved ones; 
Whereas life insurance products protect against the uncer-

and long-term care; 
Whereas individuals, families, and businesses can benefit 
from professional insurance and financial planning ad-
