H. Res. 243
In the House of Representatives, U.S.,
May 23, 2005.
Whereas recreational boating is one of our Nation’s most
popular pastimes, with an estimated 78,000,000 rec-
reational boaters in the United States and nearly
13,000,000 recreational vessels registered;
Whereas the number of recreational boating fatalities has de-
clined by more than half since 1970, thanks to the in-
creased use of life jackets, cooperative boating safety edu-
cation, enforcement efforts between the Coast Guard and
State governments, and safer vessels and equipment
manufactured in accordance with Coast Guard standards;
Whereas recreational boating accidents have nevertheless
claimed the lives of 703 Americans in 2003, more than
half of whose lives could have been saved with the proper
use of a personal flotation device;
Whereas a continued emphasis on accident prevention can re-
duce recreational boating fatalities still further, and in
particular deaths by drowning, which remain the leading
cause of recreational boating fatalities; and
Whereas the National Safe Boating Council, with the support
of the Coast Guard and the Coast Guard Auxiliary, has
proposed designating the week of May 21 through 27,
•HRES 243 EH
2005, as National Safe Boating Week: Now, therefore, be
it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives—
(1) supports initiatives for recreational boating safe-
ty education and accident prevention to minimize the
number of annual recreational boating fatalities;
(2) recognizes the Coast Guard, the Coast Guard
Auxiliary, and the National Safe Boating Council for
their efforts each year during May to highlight the im-
portance of safe recreational boating; and
